When You Die You Don't Go To Heaven, Right?
I often here it said when a person dies they are in a "better place" or "with Jesus" or "with Grandma" or something like that. usually, a better place or Heaven, though. But this is not true, is it? Why do people say such things? It's a lie, is it not?
In the book of Revelation it is made clear that the Kingdom Of GOD is to be here on earth, and on Judgment Day is when you go to Heaven or Hell. And that Heaven is right here, when God makes things new again. Paradise on earth.
If God lives in a place called Heaven, that's well and fine. But even if you don't believe in the "KIngdom Of God On Earth" stuff (but that's what it says) and believe your spirit actually goes somewhere else, no one is there yet, right? Except Jesus and some other old school peoples :D
So why do we lie to each other and ourselves about death? We do not go to a better place, but into the ground waiting for the Second Coming when we will be judged. And who knows when that will be? We aren't going to be with Jesus or Grandma or our dead pets, am I right?
Is this not true? I am confused....I am just going by what The Book says, and not the word of Man, who might seek to deceive me

In death, the separation of the soul from the body, the human body decays and the soul goes to meet God to be judged. Each person receives their eternal retribution in their immortal soul at the very moment of death in a particular judgement that refers their life to Christ: Either entrance into Heaven, through a purification, or immediately - or immediate and everlasting damnation.
When Christ comes again to judge the living and the dead, all the dead will rise. Those who have done good will be reunited with their souls in Heaven with new glorified bodies. Those who have done evil, will be reunited with their souls in hell. This is Scriptural. The first part of my answer has been removed from many Bibles.

There is only ONE way to heaven and that is through the blood of Jesus Christ. If one has never repented of their sins, and accepted Jesus as their Savior, then, I believe what the Bible says about that....you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. For there will be NO sin in heaven. Only those who have been cleansed by the blood will enter in. There will be a new Heaven and Earth one day...that is true. I believe that when the child of God dies, he is ushered into the presence of God. Jesus said to the thief on the cross "today you will be with me in Paradise."...it was a result of the thief believing that Jesus was the Christ. Sadly there will be no pets in heaven as they were not created with souls. Our earthly body does not go to heaven or hell, but, the Spirit inside of us (or the soul) leaves the body at death, and then if your name is written in the Lambs Book Of Life, then your soul will be in heaven for all eternity. If not, then you will be in eternity without God. A terrible place to find yourself. Each of us will stand before God at the judgment, and will answer for what was done while in the body. EVERYONE will be there. No exceptions. There will be no excuses, no pleading, no whys. For those who have acepted Christ, we will have our reward accordng to what we have done for Him. For those who have not accepted Christ, their punishment will be.....well, we all know what that will be. But we will ALL stand before God and make an account of what we have done.
For those of us who have repented of our sins, and have been cleansed by the blood, God will remember our sins against us no more. They are as far from us as the East is from the West. Praise God!!!

loss of life: The Bible says that at dying a individual ceases to exist (which we can hint scientifically to the cancellation of all applications that remember on the innovations). The soul, it particularly is existence, dies. The ineffective are thoroughly subconscious and unaware of their atmosphere - Ezekiel 18:4, Ecclesiastes 9:5 Heaven and Hell - properly, once you think approximately that i'm not precisely able @ the 2nd 2 attain 4 a Bible and do a set of bringing up, i'm going to in trouble-free terms temporarily touch on that. Gimme a 2nd and that i'll come lower back to it, cuz I gotta lay some foundation. once you think approximately that the Bible tells us that at dying we thoroughly quit to exist, something that mentioned eternal torment for our souls in Hell could be a contradiction. Hell because it particularly is placed forth in the Bible is only a be conscious meaning the residing house of the ineffective, the uncomplicated grave of mankind. existence in Heaven is barely promised to a definite quantity of people. (look in the seventh and 14th chapters of Revelation). people who're to flow to Heaven have been chosen to rule alongside Jesus Christ in the time of the single thousand 3 hundred and sixty 5 days era whilst mankind would be gradually resurrected and restored to perfection. particular scriptures tutor us that the ineffective are to be resurrected, which exhibits that they could be snoozing as antagonistic to being tormented in hell or residing in heavenly bliss. - Daniel 12:2, John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15 long tale short, there is not any such ingredient as hell (in the experience that maximum ppl have confidence), very few absolutely everyone seems to be certainly going to heaven, and the desire held out to the final public of righteous people is existence on earth.

Actually, if you believe in god, your soul goes to heaven to wait until judgment day when you fight in god's army against satan. Depending on your strength of faith determines your strength in battle. Afterwards, you are rightly judged as to what level of heaven, or hell, you go to.
