Does any souls reside in heaven now?

They are with Abraham until the second coming.The bible says souls that have already passed our in Abraham's bosom.

i believe with my whole entire soul that you are with heaven right now. there are some that pass to the light and my soul mate and my dad are therefor sure they were saints in my book and i have not heard anythign from them its what you believe and what you are told through the years and this is what i have been told by priests and nuns and i am sure they are there. you have to bleieve and if you are given the grace to believe you are very lucky becuse there are so many out there that have no religion andare in the dark abou this subject. At the end of the world some wil rise and be with us and others that were not in the grace of God will be with us there are very fe wthat will be condemed to hell. i blieve that he did not make us to live without him and therefore it would be small amount like the angels that were cast in hell. take care.

Didn't Jesus tell the criminal on the cross that he would be in heaven with Him that day? Also, Moses and Elijah are both noted as having gone to heaven.

Also, the Catholic Church teaches that there are already people in heaven, and they are known as the Communion of Saints.

I believe what the Bible itself teaches on all subjects.

There are many Scriptures which pertain to this matter, so I'm going to suggest that you read the following articles, which give most (if not all), as well as excellent discussions about them:

"Death--The Only Remedy!"

- What Is Meant by “Resurrection”?

- Who Will Be Resurrected?

- Resurrection to Life in Heaven--For Whom?

- Who Will Be Resurrected to Life on Earth?

"God’s Kingdom--Superior in Every Way"

(After reading the 1st article, you'll understand how this one fits in.) (:

there are many souls in heaven,

Jesus told the thief on the cross that he would be with him in heaven that very day.

why would you not know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

The Christian belief is that the souls of the righteous pass into the presence of God at death.

How do we know there is a Heaven? Nobody has ever come back from the dead to tell us whether or not that is true.
