Bible Question: Death? When you die will you go striaght to heaven, or will you wait for the rapture and go with the "dead souls in christ"??? |
Bible Answer: (2 Corinthians 5:8) We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. The theif on the cross next to Jesus, just before he was to die, was told by Jesus - Assuredly, I say to you, TODAY you will be with Me in Paradise. (Luke 23:43) And the theif had no time to get baptized, but that's a point for a different question... Lastly, in Luke 16:19-31, Jesus recounts the story of the rich man and Lazarus. Because Jesus used the poor beggar's name - Lazarus, we know this is NOT a parable. Upon the death of the rich man and Lazarus the beggar, each man went directly to their eternal destination. I hope this helps, and don't allow those who promote "soul sleep" to steal your hope and joy! Abounding in His grace, XRing |
