Bible Question: Can spirits in Heaven see spirts in hell? Can spirits in hell see spirits in Heaven? Or When you die and go to Heaven will you see those in hell. Can those in hell see those in Heaven? |
Bible Answer: The only passage that might remotely address this is the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man. However, I am not certain that this parable can or ought to be used for this purpose.
