Bible Question: Does a person go straight to heaven after death? |
Bible Answer: It is widely believed that we have an immortal soul, that we continue to live and exist in a different place or realm. But this is not true. The Bible shows that when we die, we do not exist and that we are not conscious of anything anymore. Please get your Bible and kindly read the verses below:1. Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10- At death, we will lose everything, including our knowledge, consciousness, feelings, etc...2. Ecclesiastes 3:18-20- When we die, our situation is exactly similar to that of dead animals.3. Psalms 146:4- At death, our thoughts perish.4. Ezekiel 18:4,20- The soul is not immortal- it could die.5. Genesis 2:7- We humans are the living soul....When we die, the soul dies too. 6. John 5:28-29- Our hope is a future resurrection, not immortality of the soul. |
