There is no verse in the Bible that says that Christians go to Heaven when they die.
-- q.v. 2co 5.6 while we are at home *in* the [this] body, we are absent [separated from] the lord
-- q.v. 2co 5.8 [...] to be absent from (separated from) the body is to be **present with the lord**
-- When the flesh ceases to live, breathe, be animated, our spirit "has left the building" we who are reborn go home to be (joine) with the lord.
-- while we are alive, that is, while our spirit resides in our appointed flesh, we are separated from the lord.
What is said is that we will be resurrected at the appointed time to live in the Kingdom that will be re-established here on earth. At least, this is what my Bible says.
-- The word of God refers to Man and to His Holy. man can't live beyond 70-80 years, because god's spirit will not always strive with man. we are not Man. we are NEW Creatures, new beings, old things are dead, gone and passed aways, indeed all things are made anew.

Anyway, that is the way I understand it at the time.

Dearest brother, i respectfully disagree with your conclusion that god's word does not tell us what our disposition is going to be.
I encourage you to expand your use of translations which are not Alexandrian in origin.
seek the light, walk in the sight, be the light.
your anointed brother idknow.
