Blainer) Unsaved sinners go to the lowest heaven, but we would not call it the 1st, as #1 usually means tops, to us at least. Jesus was the Firstborn having pre-eminance in all things, etc. It is actually just a matter of what you are used to though. BUT there must be more than one level of heaven, Glenn, because Paul talks about various kinds of flesh in the resurrection, one likened to the sun, one to the moon and one to the stars. Maybe you have never noticed this scripture because most Protestant ministers do not understand it so do not talk about it much, maybe huh? In fact, there are a number of scriptures in your Bible that are apparently in the same boat--few are even aware of them and what they mean, so they are ignored. But all scripture is good for instruction, so we need to look at these obscure passages from a new perspective, maybe huh?
