This question goes to study what happens to the soul after the last breath of life on this physical Earth.

1. The first school of thought tells us that the soul goes to heaven or hell immediately depending on the choices made while on Earth citing Hebrews 9:27 "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"

2. Another school of thought tells us that the soul doesn't go to heaven or hell immediately, but all soul is resting either in Abraham's bosom or Hades pending the rapture of the saints. It is said that if souls were already in heaven or hell, why would they need to rise up to reign with Jesus, or why will the bad ones rise up to the great white throne Judgement?? This school of thought believes that no one is in the lake of fire or heaven yet.


3. This school of thought believes the dead is dead and gone forever... There's no heaven or lake of fire.



Which do you believe??

Is heaven for humans?? Or a description of what the new Earth will be after the removal of this present Earth?

Give scriptural references too if you have... Thanks

I believe the first. Many have attested to this and the instance of Lazarus and the rich man also supports this position.

Abraham was in a place provide by God temporally because Christ had not come to open the way to heaven for the righteous yet.

But now they are all in heaven, so no more need for that.

God bless.

Souls do not exist.
You die and saprophytes recycle your atoms back into the universe.

Anyone telling you souls exist do that based on what they believe and what they want to be the truth. They cannot provide any evidence

Nobody knows what happens in the after life.
Not even the Bible knows what happens.

On one verse, it says after death is judgement
On another verse, it says the dead will remain underground until the judgement day.


The bottom line is nobody knows.

There are so many contractions in the book and the sons of men will never see it

Hmmm

Hmm

It is believed that the soul of the departed remains wandering on Earth during the 40-day period, coming back home, visiting places the departed has lived in as well as their fresh grave.

The soul also completes the journey through the Aerial toll house finally leaving this world

Your soul don't go anywhere.
Once you die, you decompose like every other living things.

Mystery.
Only the dead can give the right answer.

Our souls just vanish into the thin air or so. We just stop existing. Just as we were before birth.

On the last day, God will call back all the vanished souls and shall judge us accordingly to our various deeds. So, chose your poison now before it's too late.

Paradise or the lake of fire where there shall be gnashing of teeth and torment day and night?

As for me, I am going to Paradise. Believe it or not.

To face judgement before God Almighty..

In Igbo land, when a person dies and was not properly mourned, they become a nuisance in the spirit realm.
They gallivant in the spirit realm and even cross over to the physical realm at intervals just because they weren't properly bid farewell.
In my place, such spirits even harm their relatives who partake in the proper mourning of other people's dead.

But those who were properly mourned just wait in a vast nothingness doing nothing, probably regretting why they took life so seriously and shortchanged themselves as they have then learnt that you truly only live once.

That is why people who have been privileged to have been at the verge of death and came back to life always tell a story of how they met a late relative or friend who either asked them to go back or pleaded with the grim reaper on their behalf.

So now you know, wouldn't you rather live right.
Uwa bu ofu mbia except you are lucky to reincarnate.

What is a soul?

do animals and plant have souls too?

Guy wake up, there is nothing like soul or whatever,

if you die, na final

Do us a favour, die holding your phone in your hands. Capture whatever is happening there in live video.

To hell or Abraham's bosom.

Soul? what exactly is that? I looked through a biology book but couldn't find a reference to souls. I looked through a mythology book however and found all kinds of information on souls. Are there any peer reviewed scholastic research papers published in any medical journals that I could learn more about this thing called souls? Where is this thing? how many does each person have? 1? 2? more? it varies?

What gene is it linked to in our DNA? What kind of cells is it made of or what exactly is it made of? can we see thing thing with an MRI machine or a powerful microscope? Who do you think would know more about this thing called souls: a witch doctor from the deepest jungles of Ogbomoso who has had no contact with civilization, or the entire science faculty from MIT?
Scientists study everything; why don't they study souls? Is it for the same reasons they don't study the powers of Deadpool or the magic of Harry Potter?

Which type of useless question is this? OP you wey ask the suppose to die so that you fit know the answer to that useless question wey you ask so.

The only way to truly find out would be to undertake a comprehensive neuro-regeneration and neuro-reanimation program in humans following the brain
death diagnosis, which would allow us in many ways to see through the looking glass.

But from Christianity perspective, and to save yourself from trying to break down our grammar above ; just live a good life in God and your soul will be at the right side of the Lord in the last days.

JESUS IS LORD!

Buhari soul will enter bottomless pit of doom

Where big dicked gay demons will visit him on a daily...


His supporters will meet the same fate too..

Stop over thinking these things.
When you die you die,
It's a state of non-existent...
It's just like sleeping but it's an everlasting sleep

Nothing to swear on a christain thread...

Wow... Lovely

Love me these christains

No heaven no hell.
All na figments of human imaginations.

Christianity and ridiculous concepts

The realm of the dead

Definitely no 2. If anyone would have understood this, the great apostle Paul would have. And he was clear about this in
1 Thes 4:16-17.
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
All those seeing visions of loved ones that died in heaven/hell needs revalidation. After the death comes judgement. Everyone (righteous or evil) sleeps (in death) but the righteous one's are woken at rapture. After which everyone stands before God in the great white throne judgement.
There is no controversy about this.

The soul keeps on living as there is no death in the first place but just a breakup between the body(NON LIVING) and the SOUL (LIVING) so life continues.

Though, the soul stays around once the body stops performing its duties and with time returns to heaven and wait to be reincarnated

Hang around the sky.

First step is to understand the make up of humans. We are completely physical beings made from the dust of the earth. Genesis 2:7
The Bible refers to a “soul”(Hebrew: nephesh) in the above Scripture as a living and breathing creature, not some metaphysical part of the human being that separates when death occurs.

Our first father, Adam was the first soul created and had the prospect of living forever in the garden of Eden so he was never meant to die if he had obeyed the simple instructions given to him by God. Genesis 2:16-17

But we all know what transpired, Adam sinned and became subject to death(Genesis 3:19) and since we are all his offspring, we also inherited sin and error from him(Psalm 51:5) and became subject to death so that death has not escaped any human since that time. Romans 5:12-14

Since human beings are the souls themselves i.e. physical, breathing creatures, needing food and water for sustenance etc, when humans die as a result of the Adamic sin, we return to the dust of the earth and become nonexistent(Psalm 146:4, Ecclesiastes 9:5-10) as if in a deep sleep that can only be reversed through resurrection(Isaiah 26:19, John 5:28-29, Acts 24:15) meaning that the human soul is not immortal but subject to destruction. Ezekiel 18:4
