If the spirit already went back to God prior to the ascension of Christ (ecclesiastes 12:7), why are you arguing that the transition of the spirit going to heaven upon death occurred after the ascension of the Christ?
I am answering using scripture. I believe exactly as the scriptures say.
Daniel 7:17-18 These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth. But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.’
Matthew 25:34 the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world
I believe exactly as the scriptures say:
Daniel 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished.
Acts 24:15 having a hope in God, which these men themselves accept, that there is about to be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust.
1 thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”
You parousia, and mkgal, are always ducking around these plain issues. When do you apply these Scripture to? Is it AD70, the intra-Advent period or a climactic literal singular day in the future when Christ comes to take all mankind from time into eternity, from corruption into incorruption?
