I believe that there is no true answer for this question. There are many different theories and thoughts on the subject, but no one has the true answer. If there is a heaven or hell I do not know. Though because it cannot be proven nor disproved it is possible. The only answer that I can suggest is to weigh the facts and make your own decision.

I believe our spirit will return to God who created it In Ecclesiastes it says To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; ect. Ecc 8:8 talks there is no man or woman that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; in the day of death and there is no discharge in that war! The same book that talks of these truths also talks of a literal heaven and hell so yes I absolutely believe in a literal heaven and hell!

When you die, if you ae saved, your spirit goes to heaven. If you are damned, your spirit goes to hell. But, there is more to it than that. The just or saved will be judged as well are the lost or damned. But, there are two judgments. They are very different. The just will be judged with Christ on their side. The books will be opened and His blood will wash away sin records and their names will be written in a text called the lambs book of life. But, the lost will encounter a wrathful God. The books will be opened. They will not be found in the Lambs book of life and they will be damned forever more. Judgment will come to all, but thhe outcome will be different. This is why it is important for all of us to live the life that we need to. We must choose life not death. We must choose Christ, the living Word, not Satan's death and destruction.

Without a doubt death is like sleep a deep sleep where you know nothing.
Ec 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing,
look in the encyclopedia brittanica and a Bible concordance to see that Hell means simply ( the Grave or pit)
God,Jesus and all the host of heaven dwell in heaven but we will not go to heaven for plainly God says his kingdom will come to earth.
Re 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Those who die and are chosen will be resurrected at Jesus's return.
1th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT DEATH

Jesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors. Lazarus was not being reborn as another human. He was at rest in death, as though in a deep sleep without dreams. Other scriptures also compare death to sleep. For example, when the disciple Stephen was stoned to death, the Bible says that he “fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60) Similarly, the apostle Paul wrote about some in his day who had “fallen asleep” in death.—1 Corinthians 15:6.


The Bible teaches that the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” They are not alive and have no conscious existence anywhere. The account of Lazarus confirms this. Upon returning to life, did Lazarus thrill people with descriptions of heaven? Or did he terrify them with horrible tales about a burning hell? No. The Bible contains no such words from Lazarus. During the four days that he was dead, he had been “conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Lazarus had simply been sleeping in death.—John 11:11.
The account of Lazarus also teaches us that the resurrection is a reality, not a mere myth. Jesus raised Lazarus in front of a crowd of eyewitnesses. Even the religious leaders, who hated Jesus, did not deny this miracle.

Think about this too: If Lazarus had been in heaven for those four days, would he not have said something about it?— And if he had been in heaven, would Jesus have made him come back to earth from that wonderful place?— Of course not!

Yet, many people say that we have a soul, and they say that the soul lives on after the body dies. They say that Lazarus’ soul was alive somewhere. But the Bible does not say that. It says that God made the first man Adam “a living soul.” Gen. 2:7, Adam was a soul. The Bible also says that when Adam sinned, he died. He became a “dead soul,” and he returned to the dust from which he had been made. The Bible also says that all Adam’s offspring inherited sin and death too.

The Scriptural teaching of the resurrection, however, is not compatible with the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. If an immortal soul survived death, no one would need to be resurrected, or brought back to life. Indeed, Martha expressed no thought about an immortal soul that was living on elsewhere after death. She did not believe that Lazarus had already gone to some spirit realm to continue his existence. On the contrary, she showed her faith in God’s purpose to reverse the effects of death. She said: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:23, 24) Likewise, Lazarus himself related no experiences of some afterlife. There was nothing to report.

Clearly, according to the Bible, the soul dies and the remedy for death is the resurrection.

I died once and saw both heaven and hell, heaven was a bright light that gave immense warmth and joy and hell was the abscense of the light and was cold and lonely
