Psalm 146:4 - "His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish."

Some are taught in church that Hell is a place of suffering where evil souls go and Heaven is where good people go.

This is not a bible teaching:

Did Abraham die and went to a ever-burning hell? Surely idol worshippers would not be in heaven. Yet, Abraham was with his forefathers, Scripture says.
Joshua 24:2 - "Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor; and they served other deities," Genesis 15:15. "And you shall go to your fathers".

King David was a righteous king he must of gone to heaven? NO?
Acts 2:34 - For David did not ascend into the heavens.

When Lazarus died Jesus spoke to Martha that he was in Heaven? NO?
John 11:11 - Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

Besides Jesus there must of been some one righteous enough to go to heaven? NO?
John 3:13 - No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.

When Jesus kingdom arrives he promised the good will go to heaven. NO?
Matthew 5:5 - Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Surely people who are holy as saints and priests will rule with Jesus in heaven? NO?
Revelation 5:10 - You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth."

finally, the second death (from Rev 21:8) is a location for bad people to suffer in a fiery place. NO?
Rev 20:14 - And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

-The Second death is a judgment not a location. Jesus is promising that those who are not wicked will be resurrected and never die again. (Rev 20:15)

Verdict: Death is Hell. It's the grave where we are like in a sleep like state but have no conscience thought. Waiting to be brought back to life if we have followed Jesus teachings.

www.biblegateway.com is an excellent resource (free + nothing to download)
www.studylight.org is also an excellent one (and you can even check out the original languages in the interlinnear section).

1. Jesus said to the thief on the cross, "Today you will be with me in paradise."
2. Paul said, "I'd rather be absent from this body and at home with the Lord."
3. Stephen, in Acts, before He was stoned to death saw Jesus standing in heaven to receive him.

There are many more...these are some random ones.

Here are 2, there are more.

Daniel 12:2:
"Them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."

Eccl. 9-5
"For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten."
