Death was not part of God's purpose. According to Genesis 2: 15-17 we were created to live on earth forever in a perfect environment. So death was never meant to be.

Genesis chapter 3 is mankind's history, which explains the choice that was made by Adam and Eve and Romans 5: 12 explains how death has spread like a disease.

2'000 years ago Jehovah God sent his precious Son to redeem the human race from the curse of sin and death and to undo the damage caused by Satan. Read John 3: 16 ; 1 John 3: 8.

When Jesus was on earth he taught us how to pray to his Father Jehovah in these words in Matthew 6: 9, 10. "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified, let your kingdom come. let your will take place as in heaven also on earth".

Jesus is telling us that to make his Father's name be known, to pray for His kingdom, (which is the government that will undo all the harm that millenniums of human rule have done" and it reminds us that God's will is not what we are living today.

God's will is explained in Psalms 37: 29 in these words. " The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it". Which is the possibility that was given to Adam and Eve.

Romans 5: 12 shows where and when death became our reality in Romans 5: 12 in these words. " Just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin. ( the word sin means ( miss the goal ) and so death spread to all men". God's goal was that we live forever on earth.

1 Corinthians 15: 26 reads: " And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing" Which means that there is going to be a time when people will no longer die due to Adamic death .

An essential part of bringing death to nothing involves bringing the dead back to life through the resurrection mentioned in John 5: 28.

1 Corinthians 15: 54-57 promise that death will be swallowed up forever.

So to answer your question, which is " What does the Bible say about whether we go to heaven after we die." ?

Well ! When Adam and Eve decided to no longer live up to God's requirements, here is what he said to them in Genesis 3: 19. " In the sweat of your forehead you will eat bread ( food ) until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and dust you will return " . which is confirmed in Genesis 2: 7 that we were created from the dust from the ground.

The resurrection promise is part of God's purpose to bring back all those in the memorial tombs confirmed in John 5: 28,29 and death that was not part of God's purpose will be brought to nothing, which is what the Bible teaches.

The Trinity is reflected in worship through the recognition and invocation of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as distinct yet unified persons of the Godhead. This is often expressed in prayers, hymns, and liturgies that address each person, emphasizing their roles in creation, redemption, and sanctification. Additionally, the communal aspect of worship mirrors the relational nature of the Trinity, where believers come together as a reflection of the unity within the Godhead. Ultimately, Trinitarian worship fosters a deeper understanding of God's nature and invites participants into a relationship with each person of the Trinity.

Jesus said it himself in the Bible that "I and my father are one" so whatever God possess He possess.

Jesus was invested by the Holy Spirit by turning His soul in the direction of God. When you consider Jesus, you can say this is God, you can say He is the image of God, you can say the Holy Spirit is reflected in Him, and you can say He is a son of man, the child of Mary and Joseph.

Demons, good and bad spirits don't exist if God doesn't exist. God exists.

God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings and spirits. Spirits are separate elements. Human beings can make their own choices using their sixth sense. Freewill enables human beings to live any kind of life but if they hurt anyone they have to face the consequences. The same is the case with the spirits. Freewill enables them to possess any person and dominate them but if they force and hurt the person then they have to face the consequences. Humans’ lives depend on the character and intelligence of the possessed spirits. If the chosen spirits are good, their life will be good. Your activities, talks and thoughts determine what kind of spirits you will have for your life.

God is a mystery even to the spirits therefore certain spirits have become atheists. Among these atheists certain spirits have become evil. Among these evil, certain spirits took themselves the leadership and call themselves Satan. Demon is a kind of spirit.

God never bothers whether people believe in him or not. God's direct intervention in individuals' affairs is very rare. God doesn't watch each and every human being at the same time and cannot live with each and everyone to guide them. These works are done by the spirits. God had created different kinds of spirits for various purposes. He had made the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits, not for human beings. God is a mystery even to the spirits. Spirits are not eternal beings but their lifetime is long. Spirits are separate elements. A human being during his/her lifetime is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, instincts, interests and everything. Further there will be always some spirits with you on behalf of your parents, friends, relatives and Gods you believe. Only these spirits make you remember them in a certain situations. All of these spirits are your consciousnesses and memories. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. A mind is a group/formation of many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. A mind is just like a computer's mind. After the computer is completely destroyed you will not get its mind. The same is the case with the human beings. A brain is a device used by the spirits to control the body and mind. (A senior spirit or a chief can control other spirits) A human being doesn't have a spiritual body. Soul is an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. A body's functionality is based on the auto mechanism. After death all spirits which accompanied a person quit and go to different places searching new bodies. No one lives after death in any form. All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.

The followers of Christ were/are called Christians. Christians say that Christ (Jesus) is their God. They also say that Christ (Jesus) was/is the son of God, the supreme being.

There's a number of things to consider when dealing with this question, so we'll take it 1 layer at a time.

First, 'hell' comes from the Greek and Hebrew words 'Sheol' and 'Hades', both which refer to the common grave (or pit) of mankind (and even animals). When people go there, they return "to the dust" a.k.a. break down to the bare elements they were created from and cease to exist. (Ecclesiastes 3:19-20) During this breakdown process, the person knows/feels nothing; completely unconscious. (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6 & 10) The idea that hell is a fiery place run by the Devil is a doctrine drummed up by clergy (who were inspired by pagan religions) who wanted to keep their parishioners in fear. It is not a Bible teaching. Those that die righteous and go there, as well as those that die without knowledge of Jehovah and His principles (a.k.a. "the unrighteous"), will be brought back to life in the future. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28-29)

Second, why a person doesn't believe in Jehovah God plays a factor in the grand scheme of things. For example, if a person doesn't believe because they weren't raised with the knowledge of Him is different than someone who used to believe, but then due to whatever reason they changed their minds. However, in any case, the opportunity to learn about Him and acquire real knowledge is there for everyone. The scriptures indicate that the good news about God's kingdom will be preached throughout the world before Destruction occurs. (Matthew 24:14) It's also stated that during our times that "the true knowledge" would be "abundant", available for any to attain. (Daniel 12:4) In addition, Jehovah God draws those that are honestly looking for the truth about His existence to Him. (John 6:44)

So to answer your question, everyone who dies (except those few that were chosen to go to Heaven as shown in Revelation 14:1-4) goes to hell a.k.a. the grave. Those that sided with Jehovah, along with those that didn't know about Him (a.k.a. didn't believe in Him) will be brought back to life to get the opportunity.

(New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)

The validity of a denominational ordination in a non-denominational church largely depends on the beliefs and policies of that specific church. Many non-denominational churches recognize the authority of ordained ministers regardless of their denominational background, while others may have stricter requirements for ordination. Ultimately, it's important to communicate with the non-denominational church in question to understand their stance on ordination and leadership.

Whatever they say there is no afterlife. Reincarnation is not at all possible. No one lives after death in any form. There are spirits but they are separate elements.

God never bothers whether people believe in him or not. God's direct intervention in individuals' affairs is very rare. God doesn't watch each and every human being at the same time and cannot live with each and everyone to guide them. These works are done by the spirits.

All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.

There is no hell or heaven for human beings. They are only for spirits. I guess that the heaven is just the sky and hell is the prison for spirits. Good spirits are free to go anywhere in the sky but bad spirits are put in prison for certain years. I guess that certain evil spirits are destroyed completely. Spirits' lifetime is limited. If what they (spirits) have said is true, they live approximately for 400 to 500 years. This is close to the Indian Hindu's belief that a human being has seven births. That means Hindus believe in reincarnation but I don't.

I was believing in reincarnation for many years but after I have started to hear the spirits’ voices inside my head in the year 1983 (age 32) and after observing their conversations for years and after knowing the fundamental things about computers, I have come to a conclusion that all human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games and there is no reincarnation.

For a reincarnation to occur, all spirits which lived with a body must possess another person together. Then only he/she can feel the same person who died. But this is not happening because the spirits never stay together to haunt or possess another. They go searching new bodies. Rarely there might have been certain cases but I think they have changed after some time. I mean, they (humans) didn't able to remember anything after certain age. Spirits during their life time live with many bodies (one after another). Their memories sometimes affect the person. This is natural. This is not enough to believe that there is rebirth. No one returns after death. All human beings’ lives end with their own bodies.

There is always a common fate which is always applicable to all creatures including human beings. That is, human beings are like other creatures except that they have an additional sense (sixth sense). This sense had changed only the living conditions of the human beings but not the fate. The fate is almost same to all creatures including human beings.

Christians regard Jesus as their Savior because they believe he is the Son of God who sacrificed himself for humanity's sins through his death on the cross and subsequent resurrection. This act of atonement is seen as a means of reconciling believers with God, offering forgiveness and eternal life. Additionally, Jesus' teachings and example provide a model for how to live a life aligned with God's will. Through faith in him, Christians find hope and salvation.

Where and what is "hell" according to the Bible? The Bible defines hell as the place where the dead goes, which is the grave, the world of the dead.

The Hebrew she'ohl' and its Greek equivalent hai'des, refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind.

The concept of going to the grave or "hell" is confirmed by God when Adam and Eve turned their back on His requirements.

Here is what He told Adam and Eve in Genesis 3: 19 "In the sweat of your forehead you will eat bread ( food ) until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return."

God's provision is in our resurrection whivh literally means " a standing up again" confirmed in John 5: 28,29 in these words. "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice ( Jesus' voice ) and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgement". Which means that there are people who practice vile things, due to their lack of knowedge.

So to answer your question hell according to the Bible is the common grave for the dead, with the possibility to stand up again.

Genesis 2: 7 reads "And Jehovah God went on to form the man out of dust from the ground. So God is capable of taking the same dust that we have become and form us into what we were according to his memory.

By the way the root of the word "human" is dust

The fall of Rome created a power vacuum in Europe, leading to political instability and the fragmentation of authority, which paved the way for the rise of feudalism as local lords sought to establish control over land and protect their communities. During this tumultuous period, Christianity emerged as a unifying force, providing stability and moral guidance amid the chaos. The Church played a crucial role in legitimizing feudal authority and offered a sense of continuity from the Roman Empire, which helped foster its growth. Thus, the decline of centralized Roman power facilitated both the emergence of feudal structures and the expansion of Christianity's influence in Europe.

Story of the Year, an American rock band, incorporates themes of struggle, redemption, and personal reflection in their music, which can resonate with Christian listeners. However, their songs often explore a wide range of human experiences and emotions rather than explicitly promoting Christian themes. The band's approach allows for diverse interpretations, making their music appealing to a broader audience while still being relatable to those with Christian beliefs. Ultimately, whether their story is viewed as Christian depends on individual perspectives and interpretations of their lyrics.

There is no hell or heaven for human beings. They are only for spirits. I guess that the heaven is just the sky and hell is the prison for spirits.

In the 1880s, the South saw the emergence of several new industries, particularly in textiles, tobacco, and steel production. The rise of the cotton mill industry marked a significant shift, as Southern states began to industrialize by establishing textile factories that capitalized on the region's abundant cotton supply. Additionally, the tobacco industry expanded with the introduction of mechanized production methods, while the steel industry began to take root, particularly in Alabama and other states rich in natural resources. This industrial growth contributed to a gradual economic transformation in the post-Civil War South.

Trinity knows Neo is The One because she experiences a profound connection with him, reinforced by a prophecy that states The One would be able to manipulate the Matrix. Her belief is solidified when she sees Neo perform extraordinary feats, particularly when he begins to exhibit abilities that transcend the limitations of the Matrix. Additionally, Trinity's love for Neo deepens her conviction, as she recognizes the significance of their bond in the larger battle against the machines.

Ellen G. White emphasized the significance of baptism as a symbol of a believer's commitment to Christ. While she acknowledged the practice of baptizing in running water, she did not specify it as a strict requirement. Instead, her writings focused on the importance of the baptismal experience itself, highlighting the need for sincere repentance and faith, regardless of the water's source. Overall, her teachings encouraged the practice of baptism to reflect genuine spiritual transformation.

If Jesus' story was true then this is my answer. Jesus was a human being. A human being chooses his life. He too had chosen his life. The life he had chosen had caused some troubles after certain period. His words were turned against him. Further if there had been some sin, he has to pay for it. These are all the consequences.

Nobody can escape from their sins. Every human being must face the consequences of their actions. That's natural law. God cannot watch each and every human being at the same time. That's why He had created the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. His death was predetermined by the spirits. There is no doubt in it but why it was determined so is the question. You search, you will get some reason. I guess He had paid for his own sins but good deeds are always remembered that's why He is respected and worshiped even now. I think that there is difference between ancient and present day spirits. The ancient spirits must have had strict principles or laws in judging the matters.

Probably his statement that he was a God and King to heaven might have created a conflict among spirits and ended in that way. It seems the incidents that happened in his last moments of his life on earth explains indirectly the issue which he had with God and spirits. Human beings cannot know what is happening among spirits. Jesus was a human being. He didn't know this. In this case, King Herod was in a state of God and the people were in the state of the spirits.

God never bothers who believe Him. God cannot watch each and every human being at the same time. That's why He had created the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits. Spirits are separate elements. A human being is not a single spirit. A human being during his/her life time is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. A human being is just a robot made of flesh, bones, tissues etc., and a toy of the spirits for their games.

As of October 2023, the current Bishop of the Archdiocese of Omaha, Nebraska, is Bishop James D. Conley. He was appointed to the position in 2012 and has been serving the archdiocese since then. Bishop Conley is known for his pastoral leadership and commitment to the Catholic community in the region.

The term "perverted" is subjective and can vary based on individual beliefs and cultural contexts. If you're referring to specific behaviors or interpretations of Christian teachings, it's essential to consider the diverse perspectives within Christianity itself. Many Christians advocate for love, compassion, and morality, while others may have different views on certain practices. It's crucial to approach such questions with sensitivity and an understanding of the complexities of faith and personal beliefs.

Christian Doppler, an Austrian physicist, is best known for his work on the Doppler effect, which describes the change in frequency or wavelength of sound or electromagnetic waves in relation to an observer moving relative to the source of the waves. This principle explains phenomena such as the changing pitch of a passing siren and has applications in various fields, including astronomy and radar technology. Doppler's insights into wave behavior have significantly influenced our understanding of sound and electromagnetic radiation.

In Austria, the term for "advent wreath" is "Adventskranz." This traditional decoration is commonly used during the Advent season, featuring evergreen branches and four candles, one for each Sunday of Advent. The term is the same in standard German, which is the official language of Austria.

Various Christian groups do not believe in the Trinity, including Unitarians, Jehovah's Witnesses, and some Oneness Pentecostals. Unitarians reject the concept of God as a Trinity, emphasizing the oneness of God. Jehovah's Witnesses view Jesus as a separate being created by God, not as part of a triune deity. Oneness Pentecostals believe in the oneness of God and reject the traditional understanding of the Trinity, viewing the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as different manifestations of one God rather than distinct persons.

Christians believe that the promise of a new David refers to the Messiah, who is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. This belief is rooted in the Old Testament prophecies, particularly in passages like 2 Samuel 7:12-16, which speak of a future king from David's lineage who will establish an everlasting kingdom. Jesus is seen as this new David, bringing spiritual salvation and establishing God's reign. Through his life, death, and resurrection, Christians believe he fulfills this promise by offering redemption and eternal life to humanity.

A: A group of Christians who wore large crosses on their clothing were known as Crusaders. During the medieval Crusades (from the late 11th century onwards), European Christian warriors marked themselves by sewing large red crosses onto their garments. This distinctive symbol showed their religious mission to reclaim the Holy Land and visibly identified them as soldiers fighting for Christ.

When Jehovah God created mankind, it was with the intent that they keep living forever, filling the Earth with perfect people. This is part of the original mandates that Jehovah gave to Adam to Eve. (Genesis 1:28) The only way that Adam (as well as Eve) would die is if they ate from the Tree of Knowledge. (Genesis 2:17) Both of them ended up eating it, so they became imperfect and eventually died. They had children after they became imperfect, so all of them would be imperfect as well. This is how sin & death spread to everyone. (Romans 5:12 & 14)

However, since such circumstances were unfair to all of us, Jehovah had His son Jesus give his perfect life in exchange for the life that Adam lost. Whoever exercises faith (by means of works/actions as well as word of mouth) in that sacrifice he made, one will be able to gain everlasting life. (John 3:16; Romans 5:18; James 2:17) All of those that gain this everlasting life will be able to live forever on Earth in the coming future (Psalm 37:11 & 29), in a world devoid of everything that makes life miserable now, including death. (Revelation 21:4)
