heaven

if someone tells you they are going to heaven, ask them which scriptures tell them that?

Matthew 5:3
   Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  

Matthew 5:10
   Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  

Matthew 5:12
   Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.  



Then ask them where is heaven? What place does "Jesus" say is heaven?

Matthew 6:10
   Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

   And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.  



Matthew 6:20
   But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:  

Matthew 7:21
   Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

   And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
