After we die where do our souls go before we are decided on whether we are to go to heaven or hell?

Question

Is there a void?

Answer 1

No matter what anybody says, you won't know the answer to this until you're DEAD!

Answer 2

The decision for heaven or hell is made in life and considered final at the instant of death. Departed souls immediately go to Paradise or Torment. After the end of the world, departed souls receive their resurrected bodies, and the realm known as Torment will be cast into the Lake of Fire along with all the fallen angels for eternity.

Answer 3

Depends on if you're asking for our subjective opinions or beliefs, or the technical aspects of a specific mythology (i.e. Christianity, Buddhism, etc...)

The mythology of the Roman Catholic Church, which is derived from theological scholarship rather than the "original" biblical accounts, allows for something called Purgatory - sort of a holding cell for souls that require purification before moving on and up to Heaven.

Answer 4

No heaven or hell. One can prove that i this life time through a clear consciene. After we give up our now physical we are returned to the SOURCE and the cycle begins again. Our life cycle is 360. The of life. Our sould know the way home. Whwen you become one with the All you would say "I know the way HOME" You will experience heaven or HAVEN on EARTH. Truths will be revealed and you will learn that there are no secrets or need for lies. It is only when you regress that you will notice or fell a VOID!

Answer 5

This is the answer that no one wants to hear because to many people it's depressing...
Ecclesiasties 9:5,10 ;For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. (10) All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She′ol, the place to which you are going.

In Hebrew, Sheol (שאול) is the "abode of the dead", the "underworld", "the common grave of mankind".

What about reports made by persons who were revived after being reported to be dead and who spoke of another life?

Normally, after a person stops breathing and the heartbeat ceases, it is several minutes before gradual cessation of the life-force in the body cells begins. If the body is subjected to severe cold, that process can be delayed for hours. For this reason, it is sometimes possible to revive persons by means of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. They were what is termed “clinically dead,” but their body cells were still alive.

Many persons revived from “clinical death” remember nothing. Others report experiencing a floating sensation. Some say they saw beautiful things; others were terrified by their experience.

Is there a medical explanation for any of these experiences?

The medical editor of The Arizona Republic wrote: “When physical prowess is at its lowest ebb, as under anesthesia, or the result of disease or injury, automatic control of bodily functions diminishes accordingly. Thus, the neurohormones and catecholamines of the nervous system are released and pour out in uncontrolled quantity. The result, among other manifestations, is the hallucination, rationalized after returning to consciousness, of having died and returned to life.”—May 28, 1977, p. C-1; also the German medical journal Fortschritte der Medizin, No. 41, 1979; Psychology Today, January 1981.

But is not the testimony of those who were revived confirmed by persons to whom deceased loved ones have appeared and spoken?

Read again, please, the scriptures quoted earlier regarding the condition of the dead. What is God’s Word of truth telling us about the condition of the dead?

Who wants humans to believe otherwise? After Jehovah warned our first parents that disobedience would bring death, who contradicted that? “The serpent [used by Satan; see Revelation 12:9] said to the woman: ‘You positively will not die.’” (Gen. 3:4) Later, of course, Adam and Eve did die. Reasonably, then, who invented the idea that a spirit part of man survives the death of the body? As we have already seen, this is not what God’s Word says. God’s law to ancient Israel condemned as “unclean” and “detestable” the practice of consulting the dead. (Lev. 19:31; Deut. 18:10-12; Isa. 8:19) Would a God of love condemn this practice if the living were simply communicating with loved ones who had departed? On the other hand, if demonic spirits were impersonating the dead and misleading mankind by conveying to their minds impressions that would perpetuate a lie, would it not be loving on God’s part to safeguard his servants against such deception?—Eph. 6:11, 12.

Answer 6

i have self assurance there's a resurrection day for those in memorial tombs. till that day arrives, our soul lays dormant. via resurrection day, the Lord is time-honored with of what we've or have not earned throughout the time of our lifetime. i don't have self assurance in hell both. the major note in what I reported before is MEMORIAL. i have self assurance that the so pronounced as hell isn't being blanketed contained in the resurrection and spent in a everlasting dormant level (no conscienceness in any respect), thoroughly reduce off from God and all the loved ones which have lengthy previous on before.
