I too am with JUSTJEFF. For many years I have been in the minority of my understanding of scripture, particularly the fact that if we are living as conscious beings in heaven, how do we get resurrected to spiritual being status AGAIN?? Also, if Christ was the absolute FIRST to be resurrected, then what about all the saints who died before him (including those who met him during his reign on earth and later died) - where are they?? Scripture is clear that man's spirit returns to God upon death and we await for the resurrection upon the return of Jesus Christ (ie. the Last Day). Nowhere in scripture does it actually say we immediately go to heaven upon death.
