Question

When a person dies they either go to heaven or hell,but on the second coming it is said that the dead in Christ shall rise. My question is The people that died will they have to face judgement or is it just those who are still living? Because im thinking if the soul is in heaven you dont need to be judge because you know you get eternal life or do you get judge when you die? Can someone explain.

Answer 1

When an individual dies, they immediately receive the "particular judgement" and then all who have died will be resurrected for the "Last Judgement" when Jesus comes and will separate the sheep on His right, and the goats on His left,who will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
God predestines no one to go to hell, for this, a willful turning away from God is necessary, and persistence in it until the end. In the Eucharistic liturgy and in the daily prayers, the Church implores the mercy of God, who does not want any to perish, but all to come to repentance.

Answer 2

All will face the judgment at that day. Yes many have already gone to be with the Lord while others have been cast out but the final judgment will be after the resurrection. It will be a complete judgment so that the works and ways of God which now sometimes are hard to understand will be manifest to His glory. His goodness and righteousness will be shown clearly to all and the guilt of sinners will also be manifest so their condemnation will be seen as just.

Answer 3

DEATH AND HELL

Psa.23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the SHADOW of death, I will fear no evil: for
Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.

Flesh death of the body is a SHADOW of death, a silhouette or likeness of the second death.

Heb.9:27 And as it is appointed unto men ONCE to die, but after this the judgment:

If you are already dead why then after this the judgment?

Matt.10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather
fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Fear (revere) God Who can destroy both soul and spiritual body, that is second death.

I Cor.15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and
there is a spiritual body.

There is a flesh body and a spiritual body.

II Cor.5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: II Cor.5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) II Cor.5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Absent from the flesh body, present with the Lord.

Ecc.12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Ecc.12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God Who gave it.

The spiritual body and soul return to God.

I Cor.15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall
have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory.

The second death is what Christ paid the price for. Until the mortal puts on immortality he is still considered dead or liable to die the second death.

Ezek.18:4 Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

All souls are God’s. The verdict for sin is the second death.

Heb.2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

God through flesh death paid the price for the second death. Satan already sentenced to the second death has been defeated. Satan can’t say we deserve the same verdict.

Rev.2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that
overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

Those who overcome Satan become immortal, the first resurrection.

Rev.20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

The rest of the dead, that is mortal souls, missed the first resurrection, that is immortality, until the thousand years are finished.

Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

A thousand years, a time of teaching by those who had part in the first resurrection.

Rev.20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from Whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Rev.20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

The dead, that is mortal souls.

Rev.20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Rev.20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Don’t read over that. Death, that is Satan, and hell, that is separation from God, were cast into the lake fire, the second death.

Rev.20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

The second death.

Answer 4

Everyone will face judgment day. Before Judgment Day, those who believe go to Abraham's Busome (like a preview of Heaven) and those who don't, go to Sheol (Hades; preview of Hell) One Judgment Day, those who are dead shall rise and be judged the same as those who are living.

Answer 5

We are judged in when we die and get rewarded for that. But we don't go to heaven or hell now. It will only be done after the day of judgment.

Answer 6

ALL of the dead, the just and unjust will all rise to face judgment on the last day. Some parts of your question is enveloped in the mystery of faith, and cannot be answered at this time.

Answer 7

Ugh, don't you hate when people copy and paste with no explanation, thinking you are actually going to read it? lol

As to your question... since it says the dead in Christ, that indicates they are already judged, don't you think?

I believe we get judged as we die, so the only ones left to judge will be those alive at His return.

Answer 8

Hello,

Everybody will be judged. It is as simple as that. Whether someone dies today o2 5 years time we will all be judged by our actions, beliefs and faith.

it is the soul that is being judged,

Answer 9

All the dead will be raised on judgement day and everybody will then be judged by his deeds

Answer 10

Looks like someone already explained very nicely.
