@billenh thank you very much same to you

@leafclash Scripture says that to be away from the body is to be with Christ. (2nd Cor. 5) Once we die if God has called us out of our wretchedness we will be with Him in a temporary Heaven until New Heaven and New Earth (Rev 21:1) That we all we enter into as the Body. The same goes with Hell. Once we die and go through judgement those who lived in a life of unrepentant sin go to hell. Hope this helps

@MrCharrrles

Yeah I've heard stories like that too.

It's interesting, I guess we can never fully know.

The scriptures goes "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me'

But yeah, thanks :)

[MrCharrrles]

@leafclash Ive heard some testimonies of people that have died and they all claimed to have walked through the valley of the shadow of death which is part of hell and then were lifted up by Jesus. I think those who don't have a relationship with Jesus continue through the valley and end up in hell.

@DontFriendInviteMe

Yeah, whether there are people in heaven or hell yet is something I don't fully understand.

People have said that when people who have accepted Jesus die, they are with God, but not yet in heaven, and people who have not accepted Jesus, would be in a place just without God, or 'hades'?

I think maybe the Body of Christ will enter heaven together, and those destined to Hell will go to Hell all at the same time, as in, after the 2nd coming/rapture.

Could you shed some light?
