You ARE syntaxically challenged!
There ain't NO ONE 'in heaven 'asleep'. It's the dead one's on EARTH!!
Like MARY; for instance.
You do realize that most Christians consider the biblical term "sleep" to mean the death of the body, and do believe we go to heaven, right? It isn't just an evil Catholic belief. I can see why Annalex is confused and I agree with him, but you can think whatever you want. Whatever makes you happy.
So pretty.... 2 Cor. 5:6-8. Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while 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 of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
