Do we go straight to heaven as soon as we die-?

Question

Using the KJV or the like, what does the bible say about what happens to us when we die.

I can't find anything that says we go to heaven as soon as we die.

Luke 23:43 does not explain going to heaven. It seems to say that they will be in heaven.

Answer 1

No
Your body goes cold and rotten.
Then your spirit goes into outer space.

Answer 2

The Bible tells us that after the moment of death, a person is taken to Heaven or Hell based on whether he or she had received Christ as his or her Savior. For believers, after death is to be "away from the body and at home with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:23). For unbelievers, after death means everlasting punishment in Hell (Luke 16:22-23).

Answer 3

"We" being those born-again believers that believe in our heart and confess with our mouth that Jesus is the Son of God born in the flesh; died, arose from the dead and lives now in heaven as Lord of All.
We born-again believe what Apostle Paul said in 2 Cor.5: 6-8.
Seems we are one or the other, and therefore, when we leave this earth body, we go to be in His presence: the place we call Heaven, or Paradise until the end of this age and judgment. Those who die or are alive that are born-again believers are not judged with the sinners; we are given our rewards/crowns, etc. Jesus comes back to Earth and those with Him also coming back to live in the heavenly kingdom on Earth for a thousand years; called the millennium.

Answer 4

Simply because were not!
Ecclesiastes 9:5,6" that those who died, they are conscious of nothing at all. Meaning they don't exist anymore,, nor in heaven nor on earth.
Jesus promise the man recorded in Luke 23:43" that he will be with him in paradise in the time set" that when God full fill his promise, he will be resurrected and will live forever on earth happily with Jesus as the ruler and king.
John 20:8,9, Revelation 21:3,4

Answer 5

Well, I don't know for sure, but like one guy explained it to me. If you have ever been to surgery, when you wake up it seemed as if you were only asleep for a short time. I think your spirit goes immediately to Heaven, and on judgment day, your body joins your soul again.

Answer 6

1 Thessalonians 4 16For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 1

I agree that no one knows what will happen. I will find out in due course.

Answer 7

The bible states that we all stay in the grave until judgment.

Revelation 20:12-15: "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and the grave delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and the grave were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

Answer 8

Our bodies stay in the grave until the Rapture. Our souls go to Heaven.
"To be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord."

Answer 9

II Corinthians 5:8

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Answer 10

Hopefully there will be a pub on the way. Seroiusly though I dont think the road to heaven is covered in the bible.

Answer 11

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
