Greetings!

<< The bible does not say that... it says everyone dead is still dead in the ground or wherever... even David, God's favorite and after his own heart isn't in heaven.>>

I have to disagree with you but rather than offer my opinion, here are the direct quotes from the bible that say otherwise...

Matthew 23:32 Is written long after Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are dead.

" I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. "

Moses had died long before Jesus had made His appearance here in Luke Chapter 9

vs 29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
vs 30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias.....

Last one although there are many...
II Corinthians 5
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight)
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

What do you think?

John
