William faulk, There are two different ways that are disputed.
1. If you are saved and in a state of grace, your spirit goes to heaven. If you are saved, but you are not purified, you go to purgatory to prepare you for heaven. In both instances your physical body stays in the ground until Jesus return and gives you a glorified body.
2. If you are saved and whether you are purified or not you go to heaven.
People will fight all day over these two, I won't bother.
Hi William , some people believe one thing , some another .I won't try to influence you , best advice I can give you is to read it all for yourself . I'm sure you will enjoy the journey and find many treasures on the way .
Here's what I believe. You may believe differently and I realize that not everyone shares the same belief. I believe that when my physical body dies, my soul will separate from my body and will go to be with the Lord. When Christ comes for His church at the rapture ( 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17), it says that the dead in Christ (the believers who die before Christ comes), their physical body will rise first, and then those who are alive and remain will be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air. Please note that this is not the Lord's second coming, as He physically sets foot on the earth at that time.
So if I die before Christ comes back to remove His church from this world before the tribulation, my spirit/soul will come back with Him, my physical body will rise from the grave as an incorruptible glorified body, and my spirit/soul will rejoin that body and then go back with the Lord to participate in the wedding feast spoken of in Matthew Chapter 25.
It is the body that lies in the grave that gives the appearance of sleep. The physical body will die but the soul will never die. I do not believe in "soul sleep."
William P.S. For the believer death is the grave when we die spirit goes back to God who gave it body corrupts and soul or breath life ends and if not born again body rots soul ends in the grave both eventually at different times will be resurrected.
Hi William Just something to think about, if when Christ returns for His church and the believers since the day of Pentecost and ending the age of grace will be resurrected to heaven, and the book of revelation talks about the resurrection of the just and unjust throughout history which would be everyone esle then how could anyone in any form be currently in heaven?
That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
Some years ago ill have a sight of my grandparent's they stood behind each other like i remember them. In a light who is not on this earth. In a place who Jesus have made for them, ill see columns in a tempel and them! After that i was soo grateful too the Lord Jesus who is the only King!
John 14:2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
It is soo many ppl i know who have gone too they're own places. The places that Jesus have made for them. He may already have done a place ready-made for me as well.
Some other time ill look my stepfather waving energetically too me after one hour when he died. And he belived in Jesus. If he understand the meaning of Christ i dont know. But it is not for me to know.
Am glad if all ppl i meet tell me that they belive in Jesus.
John 11:26
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Its many more words in Holy Scripture of this. Read and understand inspired by the Holy Spirit ill pray.
If we belive in Jesus We dont die anymore. Here's a big question! Do Jesus have a place for all them who have past away? Noo matter what_ And are all died ppl in one of the heavens who is described in this examles. I'll belive soo, evan Judas Iskariot could go too his place.
It is good to understand this: That God is in charge of this. Soo i belive strongly that we meet again some day. And i will know whom from whom by the spirit they had in life.
God bless us all in Jesus Name by the Holy Spirit. Love u all in Christ
