The minute I die I will be in Heaven with Jesus because I have accepted Him as my Savior. I know that He died on the cross to save me from my sins. On the cross, Jesus said to the man beside him that He would see him in paradise THIS DAY. Not after you go to purgatory or a few years down the road. Because Jesus died, my sins are payed for. All you or anyone has to do is ask Jesus to be your Savior and ask fro forgiveness of sins. John 3:3 says "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Romans 10: 9-11 says "9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.11 For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed."
John 14:6 says "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

I believe and feel that at death we transcend from a physical world into a spiritual world. Many believe that means they go direct to Heaven to be in the presence of Jesus and God others believe that there is an intermediate place that saints of God go to await when Christ returns for his people at which time the dead in Christ will rise first and those that are still alive will transcend also to rise in the sky to meet Him. I more accept that later view that we don't go immediately to heaven but that we transcend into that spiritual world and await Christ Return. Eternity has no measure of time so whether one year or ten thousand years there would not be that much distinguishing the difference because the spiritual life is totally different and separate from the physical life and world where time has much more of an effect.

" For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again."--Ecclesiastes 3:19,20
If I die, I return to the ground, just as the Scripture says. Death is like being in a deep sleep without dreams. The dead are unable to feel anthing and they know nothing. Ecclesiastes 9:10 tells us: "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."
Psalms 146:4: " His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish."
I have the hope that if I die, I will be resurrected back to life to live on earth forever.
This is a good Scripture to show the future of earths inhabitants: Psalms 37:9-11: " For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace."

First there is no purgatory, that is a lie from the pit. There is only Heaven or Hell. I am a unashamed on fire Christian w/ a relationship w/ my King and Savior, Jesus Christ. I think I f I were to die........No I am not going to answer your question b/c only God knows my fate at the judgement.

Heaven. I put my faith totally in Jesus. Not in doing good works or obeying laws, but by Faith only in Jesus death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later. Read the book of Romans in the Holy Bible.
If I got to Heaven on how GOOD I was, I bust hell wide open. It is only faith in Jesus that justifies me to be fit for Heaven. Nothing else. Same for you too if you accept Him.

I hope eventually Heaven, but I know my first stop will be Purgatory, since I am not pure enough to enter Heaven yet. After a time in Purgatory, I will be in Heaven.

Heaven...there I would see my past relatives (human and fuzzy) and finally meet my creator. My "heaven" would be a house on a lake and it would have the ultimate calm....except for all the animals running around. It is there that my hubby and I will spend eternity together.

Heaven..when God call us from the earth..the bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord but..the bible says in 1 thessalonians those who die in the Lord sleep till he calls us up to his presence ..and those that are alive will be caught up to meet him in the air...The soul which is your breath belongs to God and therefore it goes back to God either way..But..it does not have a conscience..it is just your breath..God bless
