Do you want the short or long and detailed answer?Is there any body in heaven - twinc
Short answer ....NO ...with the exception of our Lord and Savior.
"rightly divide", "cut"---where do you think this weighing, dividing, or cutting takes place? It starts with an "H" and ends with an "eaven".Interesting GUANO
The word rightly divide is translated from the one Greek word orthotomeō,
orthos means “perfectly right” or “perfectly straight” tomeō, means “to cut”. This word orthotomeō literally means “a perfectly right cutting”. Its intricate nuance of meaning is that there is only one way to rightly cut the Word, all other ways are wrong. This is realized by adhering to specific keys and principles of biblical research, which I would be happy to post if you were interested…..but you're probably not.

TOTALLY, TOTALLY FALSE"Heaven" generally isn't some place that anyone can physically "go".
It is not Heaven per se but it is in Heaven without the shadow of a doubt."Paradise" is not "heaven", though this is where the common mix-up lies.
TOTAL NONSENSEThe popular view of Heaven and Hades in Christianity is that of the pagan Greeks, Babylonians, Egyptians, Assyrians, etc., and is primarily related to ancestor worship.

You forget that Enoch and Elijah entered Heaven a long time ago, and Stephen entered Heaven the minute he died on earth. But to suggest that Christ is the lone occupant of Heaven is to disregard the clear revelation of Scripture.Short answer ....NO ...with the exception of our Lord and Savior.

It is simply amazing that there are people who believe that Heaven -- God's Heaven -- is unoccupied when there are countless angels and saints in Heaven right now.
Since the New Jerusalem (the heavenly Jerusalem) is presently in Heaven, and God and Christ are in it, we also see countless saints and angels in Heaven.Angels – Yes there are a host of them in heaven….But saints (so named by the Church) friends, loved, ones, Old testament believers… New testament believers….. No
Since the New Jerusalem (the heavenly Jerusalem) is presently in Heaven, and God and Christ are in it, we also see countless saints and angels in Heaven.
And this is what Scripture reveals (Heb 12:22-24):
But ye are come [PRESENT TENSE] unto mount Sion,
and unto the city of the living God,
the heavenly Jerusalem, [our eternal home revealed]
(1) and to an innumerable company of angels,
(2) To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, [NT SAINTS]
which are written in heaven, and
(3) to God the Judge of all, and
(4) to the spirits of just men made perfect, [OT SAINTS]
(5) And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant,
(6) and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
