Does dying mean going to hell?

Answer 1

This depends on your life here on earth. All persons face two choices in this life. God has provided for mankind a Savior. This Savior's name is Jesus Christ. God even wrote a book about the Savior, but it was not until the New Testament Gospels were written that it became known that this Savior was God's own Son, Jesus Christ.

Persons who believe what God has written about His Son and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, when they die they will go to heaven and live an eternity with God and His Son.

But those persons who do not believe what God has written about His Son and do not accept Him as their Savior, when they die they will go to Hell/Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15).

The choice is yours.

Catholic AnswerDying means that you can no longer change your mind, your life, or your decision. With every single decision that you make in this life, you are either choosing to live in heaven (by choosing God and His Will for you) or choosing hell (by rejecting God and choosing your own will). At the instant of your death, all pretense is stripped away and you are naked before God - and you KNOW that you have loved Him your whole life or have died still rejecting Him. The later - dying rejecting Him, in other words, dying in sin, means that you are already in hell, death has just made that decision permanent for eternity.

Answer 2

Yes you do have to die,but if Jesus comes back you don't have to die. He will take you with to Heaven. You're spirit is eternal though so you you won't be exactly dead, sort of "half-dead".
