I'm unclear why you think this is my position. My points have been pretty much limited to wondering where in the Bible it is explained that the permanent home of man from the beginning was intended to be Heaven, with us as spirit creatures.
God of course had created many spirit creatures before he created man. So what was his point in creating material creatures with a plan of promoting them to Heaven? If that was indeed his intention.
It is my habit to respond to all those referenced.

That is a good question. It's my personal belief that it isn't that man will be "promoted" into Heaven. Rather that he will be welcomed back to Eden from where he was cast out. Eden is just a small extension of Heaven.
