"No one has gone to heaven except the Son of Man, who came from heaven." - John 3:13

The Son of Man [Jesus] will return the world will be judged and those from the graveyard who are unworthy will be thrown into the lake of fire and the righteous WILL go to heaven to worship God for all eternity as per "The Book of Revelations".

I've read this many of times.
MY interpretation is that NO man on Earth has ascended into Heaven and returned except Jesus.
KJV uses the word ascended.
So I think you are misinterpreting the verse.


And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.

You have to look more into the context instead of just 1 verse.



10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f] 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”

But the bible says that no one has gone to heaven EXCEPT the one who came from it and that was Jesus.

How on Earth did you get "no one has gone and return" from "no one has gone EXCEPT the one who came from it"

I guess I reconcile it this way : Jesus said to the thief on the cross "This day you shall be with me in paradise" . Jesus was no liar, so the thief evidently went to paradise.

However, God Himself said:“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you," Jeremiah 1:5 So to me personally, that settles the question. I have been in heaven forever, am known personally by God, and when this 'time' we consider reality is over, I will realize that I am still there.....It is a little hard to wrap your head around unless you realize that God is the God of time (sic.) and dimensions.

We always have been, and ALWAYS will be with God in heaven. The 'time' construct of it is a moot point. We WERE with Him, ARE with Him, and always WILL be with Him in heaven. It is all three realities at one time.

Yeah, hard to put into print......

The bible also says that Enoch, Elijah, and Moses all went to Heaven.
I understand that the bible says no one has gone to Heaven, BUT He is preaching to men who are alive.
Telling them, who are they to preach of heavenly things when he was the only one of them who has been to heaven. Like I said, read a few more verses and you will understand.

I agree, I could have worded it differently. However, My wording has little to do with the issue.

The Bible says that all souls go to the graveyard and one day Jesus will return and resurrect everyone for judgement...


Scripture or it didn't happen
