Some say, it cannot happen in heaven unless it begins on earth.
Therefore, I cannot have certain things or see certain people in heaven if I do not have them or see them on earth.
Conclusions: Heaven becomes less so due to God’s will not being done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Flaws: This is absurd. Heaven is the solution to failures on earth, especially those that happen in our best effort to have the will of God done.
Circular negative thinking - if it doesn’t happen on earth, it cannot happen in heaven is false because then heaven can never be heaven even prior to the will of God not being done on earth for whatever good happens on earth is preceded by it first being sealed in heaven. If it requires heaven for it to happen on earth first and in truth it happens on earth as it happens in heaven first, for on earth as it is in heaven, then there is a contradiction for the debater does not understand that the will of heaven precedes the will of earth.
Furthermore, if heaven requires earthly success, then we ought to do whatever we can even kill for it to happen. If the initial conclusion is true, I should do anything I can, to the wildest extent, to do the will of God. However, Christians are restrained by the Laws of Moses while non Christians are unrestrained by them, and so not only acquiring heavenly gifts but doing so in heaven’s ways is simply too hard, while others can acquire them without those restrains. It’s like fighting as a knight but not being allowed to use a sword, only a Bible in your hands. And why not stone adulterers too? Jesus prohibits it even though it likely would reduce adultery in society.
However, the way of the cross involves reliance on God’s action. If it involves reliance on God’s action, then it does not completely require our act to make heaven more blissful.
The will of God and its completion starts and ends in heaven, therefore, if it starts there, you will always have it, even if it does not become sealed on earth.
Am I wrong? If so, maybe the Crusades weren’t so bad as so many argue and Jesus’ command to the Apostle Peter is situational and circumstantial.
