Christians...,Where do you think you go after you die???

Question

I believe in heaven and hell,,,but do you think that we will go there right after we die or we will be in limbo or rest until the JUDGEMENT day when ALL will be judged ...Our creed says..."I will come again to judge the living and the dead.."if we already are dead than how can we be judged again than unless we weren't already after we died??? Gets me thinking cuz I thought we went soon after we die...

Answer 1

Time and Space as we know it now will not exist anymore. There will no longer be 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year. Those concepts no longer exist after we die.

God is eternal, and Heaven and hell are everlasting.

I believe (and this is just me saying this), I believe that since eternity is no beginning and no end, we are there right now, in the Spirit, but we do not consciously experience that reality because we are currently confined to time and space.

Those who die as Believers are instantly ushered into the presence of God in heaven, but we will have no memory of not having been there all along. Those beloved family members of ours who went before us, also Believing on the Son of God, do not experience separation from us, because they are in eternity (everything all at once). They are not there waiting for us to show up. The bible says we "Have" Eternal Life, not that we "will" have. Believers are judged at the Bema Seat judgement of Christ, according to the works they did after having Believed.

Those who die in Sin and transgressions, apart from the forgiveness found only in Christ Jesus will, upon their earthly death, go immediately to a holding place called Hades (not hell). Then they will come before the throne of God and be judged, Guilty based upon their rejection of the work God in Christ Jesus. They will be cast into hell and everlasting torment. The bible refers to this as "The second death". There will be no recollection of the past, no good memories to draw from and find consolation in, only everlasting, on-going, never ceasing torment.

Believers, having received eternal life still retain all of their memories, but there will be no mourning, no tears, no regrets. There will be no more death.

Existence in Heaven is not going to be an eternal worship service, where that's all that will happen or be allowed to happen. It is the perfect existence that God intended for us from the beginning. The one He provided Adam and Eve in the garden, before Sin entered into the world. If you want to know what heaven will be like, look at the description of the Garden of Eden in the bible, before the fall.


Remember, this is not a doctrine, this is just my own opinion.

God bless you.

Answer 2

When you die, you're dead. Nothing. Nada. You can't think or feel.

BUT because Jesus will be coming at some point, you won't even know you died!

You'll have no sense of time having passed until BOOM, you're resurrected.

There's a heaven, but we're not getting there until after Jesus comes back.

There is no hell. Unless...when Jesus comes back, you still deny him. Then He'll have no choice but to separate you from God forever... which is def. HELL

Before you give me an automatic thumbs down just for thinking differently than you do, take a minute to really think about it. Why would God judge us twice? Why would he send us to hell or heaven only to judge us again? Why was Jesus sent to conquer death if we automatically go to heaven right away? Think about it.

Answer 3

When you die, you're dead. Nothing. Nada.

BUT because Jesus will be coming at some point, you won't even know you died. You'll have no sense of time passing until BOOM, you're resurrected.

Body&Soul
******************

That's right! This is Scriptural! "The dead know not anything" until the resurrection. When it happens the thoughts will resume as though there were no time that elapsed between the time of death and the time of the resurrection! It is in that sense that we must read, "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."

And, mind you, there is no such place called "purgatory" or "hell" where the soul goes at the time of death. And no one goes to heaven until the resurrection provided one died in the Lord. Please read it for yourself in 1 Thess.4:14-18.

Answer 4

you are right christians believe in heaven and hell.im a follower of Jesus that believe in reincarnation and that heaven and hell is in the thoughtprocess of the human mind.and if christians stop trying to convert everyone,and do more bible study,instead of listening to other people then they will also discover the truth when Jesus told the people that the kingdom of heaven doesnt come with signs and wonders,but it is inside of you.once you discover it you will be in heaven.meaning happy thoughts,and love for others,and no more selfishness,but humbleness

Answer 5

The essence of the believer goes straight to Heaven.

Answer 6

The Apostle wrote that to be absent from the body is to be present with The Lord. When a believer dies, he/she goes to be with Jesus Christ. There is no in between. Death holds no power over the believer for Christ has conquered death.

Answer 7

Daniel chapter 12.

Answer 8

I don't think.....I know that I will be in the presence of the Lord when I die


The bible says, "Absence from the body means presence with the Lord"

And Lazarus the beggar was immediately ushered into Abraham's bosom when he died.

Jesus told the theif on the cross, "Today you will be with Me in paradise"
So I'm pretty sure....according to Scriptures.....that it is instant

Answer 9

I believe we either go to a place of rest or a place of torment until judgment day.

Answer 10
