According to the BIBLE...where people go after their death?

Question

do they :1.wait in some place...while waiting MASS judgement(WHOLE HUMANITY BEING JUDGE TOGETHER) at the end of times?...if they have to wait...what are they doing?2....directly being judge..and go to hell or heaven straight away(not waiting the end of times)

Answer 1

They are sleeping and waiting to hear the call of God on His second coming.

Answer 2

People go to the grave, "hell". That's all that hell really is. When people die they are either buried in the ground or are cremated. Their body does not exsist anymore. The bible says that death is like a deep sleep. You are unconscious, you know nothing when you die. Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6 is the answer. Your body goes no where, there is no "spirit" that flys to heaven, or to hell. You are just non-exsistant, until God resurrects you back to the earth. John 5: 28, 29.

Answer 3

It is appointed unto man once to die then after death the judgement born again Christians appear before Christ account given of their lives and non believers before God to give an account of their lives shortly after it is decided whether they go to Heaven or Hell

Answer 4

"The dead are conscious of nothing at all"- Ecclesiastes 9:5

"From dust you were taken and to dust you will return"
- Genesis 3:19

"Lazarus our friend has gone to sleep....Lazarus has died"
-John 11:11-14

Don't let superstitious churches influence your beliefs. They've adopted ancient pagan teachings over the centuries. The Bible, however, remains true. Death is the absence of life. Nonexistence.

Answer 5

The dead are not conscious. They are asleep in the ground until Jesus comes. Ecc. 9:5,6.
"His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth:in that very day his thoughts perish." Psalm 146:4.
The dead do not worship God. Psalm 115:17, 6:5.
The Bible compares death to sleep. John 11:11-14.

Answer 6

Everyone, including xtians, gets thrown in to hell *

* Hell is an imaginary concept created by man kind, which was then written about in some 'holy' book thats helps people (self appointed religious quacks) to retain power and control over the masses.

God is dead? No he never existed to start with !

Answer 7

And at the end of our journey through time is a destination we can scarcely imagine--a destination called Eternity.

Everything in Scripture points to Eternity, and everything within us cries out for it. As Solomon observed in the Old Testament, God "has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end" (Ecclesiastes 3:11). God designed us to live in Eternity. His work with us is not finished in this life.

Answer 8

I feel that GOD has judged us before death takes our last breath there is no waiting list nor a room full of people awaiting to hear if they will be going to HELL OR HEAVEN .... GOD SEE'S ALL and hears and knows all.so in my personal opinion GOD know's the exact date,hour,and how, we his children will go and where we will go without waiting.

Answer 9

Gods' design of death is quite a mystery. In fact, we have not even invented words to describe his science or physics. However in our history we have heard stories that before Jesus came we all went to hell and it is was him that rescued the innocent from that pit when he was crucified. Now we all go to him and wait with him until this day of God arrives. The day when God will return to the children.

Answer 10

Here are some verses regarding judgment....

10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. (2 Cor 5)
Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. (Rev 22)

31For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead." (Acts 17)

22Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him. (John 5)

There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day. (John 12:48)

34You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. 35The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. 37For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." (Matt 12)

17 … Do not be afraid of any man, for judgment belongs to God. (Deut 1)

[Rev 20:11-15….great white throne judgment]
11Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done.
14Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Rev 20)
