So when we die, the instant we die we got straight to Heaven? That's great to know. :)

Hmmm, but since we are already in Heaven when we die, then what's happening with the Resurrection?

Resurrection is a different issue:
.
The early Christian leaders understood the second coming resurrection to be a resurrection of the body that would be transformed. From the ashes and dust of the earth would rise the bodies of the faithful - regardless of what had happened to their bodies, burned, hacked up or eaten by lions - the earth will give up its dead and the transformed bodies of the faithful will rejoin the soul.
.
There are a lot of opinions on this idea. I like that my soul goes directly to God, I am not sure I care what happens to this old body. The ancients argued about this a lot. Food for thought.

Then I get a new body too? That's wonderful. That must be what they mean when they say there will be no more pain, no more suffering.
