Questions
Rev 14:1-5 & Rev 21:1 seem to say that the earth will be made new. If that is true, why do we say Christians will go to heaven for eternity, not the new earth? Was God’s original plan for believers to live eternally on the earth with God & the angels ruling over us, but then somewhere along the lines he changed his plan? What will our roles be – either in heaven or on the new earth? Why is the promise in Revelation 14 not taken as a literal 144,000? (2:15)
Why is the only requirement for salvation to believe that Jesus died on the cross? I understand we are not saved by works, but if believing in Jesus is all that’s required, why devote your life to living in a God-honoring way? Does that mean those who believe the gospel but who do not live in god honoring ways are saved? (8:20)
