It is time to dispose of all this errant terminology and useless bluster. Jesus taught that the meek shall inherit the earth. He taught his people to give to the poor, feed the hungry, visit prisoners and generally have mercy on people. That's enough for this Christian.

There is only one important question to be answered by any prospective Christian: Do you believe Jesus rose from the dead, and still lives in heaven? If so, you and I will be there with him when we pass through death.

Life in heaven with the Lord Jesus will be qualitatively better than on this earth, and quantitavely better, insofar as we will be in eternity, having already conquered death by following Jesus' example.
