When you die do you stay in heaven forever?

Answer 1

No. The Scripture tells us death is akin to sleeping without dreams. We are told we will be called to the Judgement process in the order which is given to each of us.

Ecclesiastes 3:19New King James Version (NKJV)

19 For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity.

1 Peter 4:4-6New King James Version (NKJV)

4 In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. 5 They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

AnswerNo, Christians will not always be in heaven when they die. When Christ returns the Millennium ["one thousand years"] will start and Christians will be on earth with Him for those 1,000 years. Aftyer that, the entire universe will de dissolved and then Christians will be in heaven forever.

2 Corinthians 5:

1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle [that is, our body] were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands,eternal in the heavens.

This also means that non-Christians will be in Hell forever:-

2Peter 3:7-13

7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation [that is, 'conduct'] and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

If you were a race-goer and had a 1-in-2 chance of winning you'd be mad not to take it.

Everybody on this earth has a 50/50 chance of going to heaven.

If you repent and accept Christ as Lord and Saviour you are guaranteed to go to heaven.

If you do nothing and do not repent and accept Christ as Lord and Saviour you are guaranteed to go to hell. That is absolutely guaranteed.

Therefore accept Christ and live.

John 8

v.24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

Answer 2

It depends on how many sins you make. check The Bible for more info

John 3:18 "Whoever believes in Him (Jesus) is not condemned but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son."

All you need is Faith to go to heaven after death, how many sins you have has NOTHING to do with it for ALL have sinned and fallen short of God's Glory. That is why the Father sent His Son to die & make us Holy so that we can stand before God in Heaven and be just as righteous as Jesus Himself. Glory to God!

//We can never be as righteous as Christ, but we are saved by Him. During His earthly ministry Jesus forgave and then said 'You are forgiven, go and sin no more.' We can not live sinful lives and expect a heavenly reward. Yes, only belief in Jesus Christ can one attain eternal life with Him, but you do have to strive to be a true follower by living by God's law, which happens to be the 10 commandments.

Answer 3

Absolutely immortally eternal whether in heaven or hell, no annihilation.

Answer:

It depends on the religious system you are involved with. In the Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Islam and Christianity) heaven and hell appear to be eternal states. Other religion's such as Buddhism have "heavenly states" that are temporary until the nonexistence of Nirvana is attained. The Norse believed in a temporary heaven of Valhalla which would end with Ragnarok for warriors and a shadowy semi-existence for those who did not die in battle. The ancient Greeks believed in a shadowy existence after death which ended with a slow evaporation of self.
