What happens when life passes?

[MatthewG]

A good example is in Luke 16 where the rich man lifted his eyes in hell, and Lazarus went to Abraham's bosom.

Of course, Jesus set free the captives in Paradise and as someone else has already said, "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord", the soul now goes directly to heaven.

But Hades is still in full operation continuously enlarging itself for the unsaved, waiting to be judged, as someone else has already stated.

Fair view point; thank you for sharing.

That is right Devin~

Before Jesus Christ came; everyone went into She'ol ~ Which had a paradise part and a prison part to it. Paradise as Abraham bosom; and prison/hell for those who did not believe.

When Jesus Christ died on the cross He went to these places, even proclaiming a message to the souls that had been preserved since the day of Noah which were killed off by God. Not sure what Jesus Christ came to proclaim to them; but however Jesus Christ 3 days later is resurrected and overcame the place of she'ol.

Believe later on in the white throne judgement; all of the people that were in she'ol previously were all given up from their place of she'ol, and were all judged accordingly. After all of this near the end of the Revelation it seems believers are going into the Kingdom of God, while those who are without God; are placed on the outside of the Kingdom.

Thank you for your response.

K, I believe differently and think there will be a resurrection of the dead when Christ comes the second time to save humanity from evil.

Totally understand @Devin. Freedom is paramount thank you for joining the discussion about what happens when life passes.

 

[MatthewG]

A human's soul descends to She'ol and becomes unconscious until the end of days when everyone will rise up and be judged.

Okay thank you for sharing this information.

I hope to die in a state of grace.
I was baptized Roman Catholic, but was forced into Islam, then was basically a heathen (Occultist, Buddhist, "atheist"), and I have struggled a long time to really understand Christianity--I'm understanding it more and more as I pray about the Bible and am put through different fires.

Hope is a great thing to have for we are all hoping to be resurrected and go be and see God. It is all about having faith, and trusting in God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
