Since we are waiting for the 2nd coming of Christ, if we die now are we just dead? And will be awaken when Christ comes? Or we go to heaven and still wait for the second coming? I know nobody can really answer this if they died, I am asking as Christians which one is your believe.

If we die we go right to heaven. Thos waiting on the second coming are in the arms of Abraham (Old Testiment believers in God who died before Christ came) They go next after the believers still on earth during the second coming. 1st believers as soon as they die biological life and then when the rapture comes, the believers that hadn't died biologically, and then the Old Testiment Saints and believers before Jesus came to save the world from sin.... It's all in the good book my friend.

Heb 9:27 says "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment," and 2 Cor 5:8 says "We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord." This makes it pretty clear that what happens when we die is:
1) we are judged as to whether we rejected Christ or not, and then, if we have not rejected Him,
2) we are taken to the presence of the Lord.

I believe that if we die now, we stay dead until the 2nd coming where we will be arised from our grave, and then dependin on our faith for the man in the sky we die again along with the guy underground. After that if you were chosen to go to heaven I think everything is going to repeat itself, people will be happy and live safely then another angel will go bad, and another lady will eat an apple then the world will be a whole big evil thing again I dunno that's what I think or then if the thing does not repeat itself everything and everyone will die, and the world will have no life, it will be empty like the whole solar system, that's scary to think about but that is what I am thinkin will happen....I am cristian as well but I dunno I can just predict

The first coming of Christ opened the gates of heaven for us. When he died he gave us all the chance to go to heaven or hell. So if you die now, you will be judge accordingly by God, and sent to the place that you deserve. The 2nd coming, is well, the end of the world. This is when God decides and devides us.

We were place on this world to enjoy the gifts that GOD has given to us. If you are waiting for the second coming, you have a long wait. When the day comes that we are called home by our lord, Only then will we know about heaven. So get out and enjoy this world and live each day to the fullest, Love your family, friends and say " hi " to a passing stranger.

the bible teaches that people lay dead. then at the time of the raising of the dead. the people are judged and some go to heaven. i am not totally sure of that however since i have seen an angel .
i can say that it really wont matter since in death there is no thought nothing so no concept of time nothing . perhaps the angel i saw was there to reassure my mom that she would rise from the dead and go to heaven. i am not sure.

I believe that if your a follower of Christ, and were to die today, your spirit would be with God. Your physical body will remain on this earth until we receive our renewed bodies in the kingdom of Heaven.

I as a christian believe that when I die...I will go to the gates..go in...and wait for the coming of christ. i will be in heaven worshiping God and working for him. Rejoicing that I am there.
