  11.  @sjplus36  Yes, I do believe the afterlife is biblical, just not the Christian concept of heaven. You can find the answer to the "paradise" question by cross referencing where else it appears in the New Testament. Rev 2:7 states, "To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God." Then Rev 22:2 states in part, "In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life," This is the city of New Jerusalem that God creates after the 1000-year kingdom, where His people spend eternity. It is physically on Earth, not up in heaven. After the return of Christ, there will be a 1000 year kingdom on earth, with Jesus on the throne and Satan imprisoned. After this period, a lot of people will still rebel. I imagine this is to show that people can and will rebel even when Satan is not in the picture. God will destroy the earth with fire, recreate a new earth and then create the city of New Jerusalem where those chosen by Him will live eternally. That's what the doctrine says. As for property rights, the words of the 10th commandment state, "you shall not covet your neighbor's house ... nor anything that is your neighbor's." How can you covet what doesn't belong to another person? Yes, it's very clear throughout the Bible that God owns everything and people are steward of these things ... but that is a very far cry from "you will own nothing." Leviticus goes to great lengths to command not changing property lines or boundaries for people's land. If God owned it all in the absolute sense, then what would be the difference? A lot of people like to claim the Bible justifies socialism, particularly the verses in Acts. It does not. Plenty of examples of property rights. I'm not making judgement calls here or telling others how they should live their lives. Just answering the question. Everyone is free to believe what they want. It's just that a lot of popular Christian views differ quite a bit from what the book of doctrine actually contains. So ... can a person really call themselves Christian, if they don't believe or follow the doctrine?
