Bible Question: what happens to the soul of unsaved people at the time of death? |
Bible Answer: Hi: The same thing happens to the soul of the righteous as happens to the unrighteous according to this passage from scripture. The difference in what happens to them occurs when they are resurrected in their own time. Eccl 9:1 All this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hate one does not know. Everything that confronts them 2 is vanity, since the same fate comes to all, to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to those who sacrifice and those who do not sacrifice. As are the good, so are the sinners; those who swear are like those who shun an oath. 3 This is an evil in all that happens under the sun, that the same fate comes to everyone. Moreover, the hearts of all are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead. We all go to the dead.ie where the other dead are. We remain so till we are brought back to life in thte resurrection. Resurrection means brought back to life. The first resurrection has not yet occured, therefore no one except Christ has ever been brought back to everlasting life. We wait for His return. Sincerely Henry and Emmy |
