Christians do you go straight to heaven when you die, or are you put in a holding pattern near it?

Question

These answers WILL vary, Once again proving the innacuracies of this religion.

Answer 1

I JUST BELIEVE THE BIBLE FROM GENESIS TO REVELATIONS

Gen.3:19
From dust thou art and to dust thou shalt retutn
Heb.9:27;
It is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgement.
1Cor.15:22-28,51-53;
As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
The heavenly for the new heavens and the earthly for the new earth. 2Pet.3:13;

Answer 2

I almost made it to the holding pattern once. Believe me, it felt like Heaven. And when I realized there was no Fire and Brimstone, I started to read the Bible from scratch, ignoring all the organized religious spin I'd been taught, and it was amazing. It actually started to make sense.

I guess you can't get the meaning unless you're willing to have an open mind, which is the hardest thing to find.

Answer 3

Do you mean when we die do we circle around like a plane at the airport? Ha Ha, No, if you are a believer you go straight in to the presence of the Lord. If you are an unbeliever you go to a place called Hades. If people disagree it only proves that folks don't search the scriptures enough. If you want scripture verses for what I said email me and I'll let you know. I don't like to use scripture so much because when you don't believe it can be annoying. I know because it used to bug me.

Answer 4

The bible doesnt say that all good will go to heaven,it only speaks of a small amount that have been chosen already. The idea was thought up a long time ago and eventually spread throughout christianity.

Answer 5

More like inconsistencies.
Unless you plan of being completely devoid of religious beliefs you can't avoid some disagreement on what will happen or where you will go.
The fact of the matter is, no one really knows.
There are people that think that they know the answer but that isn't the same thing as actually knowing.
It is all based on faith derived from books written by people.

Answer 6

I'm actually shocked no one knew what the answer really was but its not inaccuracies its peoples lack of actually reading the word of God. Heaven nor Hell are created right now...there is Hades and there is Abrahams busem (i'm not sure if thats how you spell it) Abrahams is more of a paradise no one is in heaven yet...nor will anyone be until Christ returns for his church and judgement happens then those in the lambs book of life will go to heaven and those not will enter hell (which was not made for us but for satan and those who followed him when he sinned in heaven).

Answer 7

Yes answers of this question actually have to vary depending on what people have understood to believe as the christian religion. I only believe that i will go to heaven if i treat people as good as i can and do what i can to make everything better. you cant just "go to heaven" you have to work for it.

Answer 8

"Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are home in the body, we are away from the Lord. We live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." (II Corinthians 5:6-8 NIV)

Answer 9

Inaccuracies? No.
Man's interpretation of His Word? Yes.
