GothamCities:
Oh, that was part of your questions. I forgot to answer it. My apologies.

The question will require a broad biblical exposition but I'll make a summarized presentation with biblical references where necessary. The Bible didn't give any explicit information about it but we can draw a lot of inferences and insights from different biblical contexts.

1. Judging from the the Parable of Jesus about the rich man and Lazarus, we can deduce that SOME dead souls are already in heaven while SOME are already in hell. I used the word 'SOME' because there are other Biblical references to some others who are not yet in heaven or hell.

2. There's another Scripture in the book of Revelation that tells us where some of the dead were retrieved from for the final judgement of God.

Revelation 20:13:

"The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done."

This Scripture gives us another insight about where the souls of the dead are kept. Some are in the place of the dead were there is just total silence until the day of judgement.

From the Parable of Jesus, we can deduce that some people can so do wickedly that they're immediately transported to hell at death. Some people can so live righteously also that they're immediately transported to heaven at death, while some actually remain in the place of silence until the judgement day.

Let's look at another Scripture:

Revelation 6:9-10: "When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, 'How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?'"

From this Scripture, you'll see that there's another place called THE ALTAR where those souls who were martyred for their service to God are kept. These ones are not in silence, and are going to give their voice calling for judgement on the wicked bloodletters at the end of time. The Bible didn't tell us what they're currently doing under THE ALTAR but we can deduce that they're not in a place of silence.

So, I think we can understand from the scriptures shared above that the dead are not in any particular single place presently. Those who died without hearing of Christ and those who died having giving their lives to Christ are most probably in a place of silence presently. Those who died as martyrs for Christ are under an altar prepared for them of God. Those who died in serious wickedness are most probably in hell. Those who served God remarkably are most probably now in heaven.

I used the word 'most probably' because they're my personal deductions from what I could read in the Scriptures. My reader can choose to either believe them or not. I am not talking as an absolute authority on the matter.

Great explanation

Free2Fly:
Do you know for sure if God really exists

Yes I do

My whole being is a proof, that I was not created by mistake, but by a God, the father of all creation

Michael547:
Is there a difference between hell and Hades? If yes, explain.

From what I know, Hell Fire is the place where sinners and enemies of God are currently punished in spirit form after they dropped the flesh, and waiting for their lot on the last day.

While Hades, is the abode of the dead...

I stand to be corrected

GothamCities:
No, salvation isn't still open to those who have died. We're talking about those who died before Jesus died and resurrected.

For those who died without ever hearing of Jesus after Jesus had completed the work of salvation, such as our forefathers, this is what the scriptures say:

Romans 2:12-15:

"All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them."

God will judge those people such as our forefathers who have not heard the Gospel, neither know the law of Moses before they died according to their conscience. The conscience is the law of God written in the heart of every man.

This is my question bro.

You know that without Jesus Christ, no one can enter heaven. And since judgement of God will happen at the last day.

Now where is there soul waiting? In Hell fire or in Hades?

Righthussle:
They're waiting for you.

Not yet my time in Jesus name.

I don't know about you

Please what happened to souls that died without knowing or seeing Jesus.

Are they in hell, heaven or still in Hades?

Many people have the same mindset today... Not knowing that chasing all these without having God is like chasing the wind.

🚨- NEW!!

Wout Weghorst BLAMES Ten Hag for his underwhelming stint at Manchester United.

He believes his lack of goals came down to the system employed by his then-manager and he was used as a foil to get the best out of others on the pitch.

Oga. Learn.

You pay this fees when you enter into a new house as a new tenant.

Rent

Agency

Agreement

Caution/Damages fee.

All 3 money you pay goes to the landlord, except the agency Fee which goes to the agents that worked to secure the house for you.

So if you need your caution fee, call the landlord, not agent...

Chrizoby:
Is the agent that's in custody of the caution fee or the landlord?Agent is only entitled with agency or facilitator fee

Don't mind the mugu. Asif he paid the money to the agent

Yes, He Does.

Ultimately money ritual is selling your soul to the Devil.

And you will end up in hell fire along with the Devil.
