Bible Question: Where do people go directly after they die? i don't really have a specific scripture or passage to direct this question towards, however, i've heard many different theories that are believed to be true: some people believe that there is a waiting place that people go to after they die and wait there until judgment day. others believe that you just enter a state of rest after you die. others believe that you go straight to heaven. i would just like to know if there is any Biblical backup for any of these theories. thanks for the help. |
Bible Answer: Jesus told the man on the cross he would be with Him that day. (Luke 23:43) Paul tells us that being absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. (2Cor 5:6-8) Paul also states that when Jesus returns he will bring those that have passed on with Him. (1Thes 4:13-17) |
