When people die do they go to heaven?

Going to heaven is a common teaching, however lets examine what the scriptures actually say. First at Genesis 3:19 Adam was told he is returning to the dust. At Psalm 146:3-4 we are told what happens when man dies. We go to Ecclesiastes 9:1-3, 5-6, 10, 11 where we find out those who have passed are not conscious.

That is not the end of the matter however. Jesus promised a ressurectionat John 5:28-29

Dear Wellbeloved , my advice to you would be that , you should read the entire Bible for yourself . No one on here can tell you any more other than what is written in the Bible . That's where we get our information from and it's where you can go to find out the Truth . Don't take our word for it ! Read it for yourself .

Hey Wellbeloved,

You will have many that will tell you the saved will go to heaven and the lost will go to hell. Some will say, like myself, we sleep in death until resurrection and no one goes to heaven, our eternity will be on the new earth. Question, when are we absent from this body? If you have not studied the Bible for the answer that would be what you should do without any preconceived ideas. In the Bible with the guidance of the Holy Spirit you will be shown the truth.

God bless,

If they are a believer, yes To be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD. An unbeliever will lift his eyes in hell, like the rich man in the parable JESUS spoke of in Luke... God Bless .
