This is kind of a difficult question for me to ask, since I don't fully get it myself, but I'm hoping that some of you will be able to help me out here. Please provide Bible verses if possible. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.OK. So we as Christians believe that if we are saved because of Jesus' cleansing blood, we will go to heaven when we die. I have no doubt about this whatsoever. None. I'm in with Jesus, and I know where I'm inevitably bound! This is not a problem for me at all. My issue is another thing concerning the subject of life after death entirely.I've recently been reading up on a number of different Christian denominations' takes on what happens to the Soul upon death. Some say that it is like a short sleep, the blink of an eye, and we wake up on judgement day to meet our Lord in the air. Others say that right when we die, our Soul travels to it's destination (as some near death experiences will carry on about), either to heaven or to hell. Still a third opinion (which I found to be utterly HORRIFYING!!!) stated that we don't have immortal souls at all, and that when Jesus comes back, our bodies will be raised up, rigged to be all holy and immortal, and live in a heaven made on earth! Yet another opinion (I believe this is the Catholic take) states that we go to Purgatory for final cleansing, then Heaven.OK, so, I've got eyebrows raised on some of these. But if you have Bible evidence to answer this... which is the right one? I don't like the idea of death being a deep sleep where I have to wait for judgement day. If that's true, than my soul might be claustrophobicly stuck in my body, dormant and alone until God-knows-when, literally!If I just go straight to heaven when I die, than what will happen when as the Bible says "heaven and earth will fade" (Matt. 24:35). Where will I go when Heaven fades? I guess God will make "a new Heaven and a new Earth," like it says in Revelations 21:1.But seriously, though... what the heck?If the third opinion is true (which I know it isn't), and we actually don't have immortal souls... that what the heck did Jesus die for on the Cross? What did he die to redeem, our perishable flesh? "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God," as it says in 1 Cor. 15:50.On the subject of the fourth opinion (Purgatory), I may not be Catholic, but I have great respect for my Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ. I love you all! Look, while the subject of Purgatory is an interesting one, I must politely say that the idea is quite simply nowhere in the Bible. It isn't even implied... not even indirectly. I'm not saying that I definitely know it isn't out there, but I'm about 98% certain that it's just gonna be Heaven and Hell, nothing else. We don't really have room in Christianity for works based Salvation like Purgatory...OK, but seriously though... what actually happens to our Souls when we die as Christians? Do we just go straight to heaven? Do we wait dormant in our bodies/dust/nothingness until judgement day (SCARY Claustrophobic!!!)? Do we just rise again when Jesus returns, not really having possessed immortal souls at all (definitely not this one, right)? Or do we go to Purgatory for final purification (not likely in the least bit)?Does something else happen instead that I missed? What will happen to me when I die... exactly?
