What's with this waiting place? Sounds like the purgatory doctrine which is totally unbiblical.

Hear, O Israel! Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is one!

Please remember that I reminded everyone to consider the story of the rich man and poor man in the Bible. The rich man, because of his life lived not including God, found himself in the waiting place for Hell. The poor man, went to the waiting place for Heaven. The rich man begged Abraham to let him go back and warn his still alive brother not to continue living as he was so he would avoid finding himself where the rich man was. Of course, Abraham told him the dead weren't allowed to speak to those still alive in the flesh....which, as I also pointed out, that discounts all those fortune tellers that claim to speak to the dead ~!

So, no -- not everyone goes to God at their death. Only the righteous go there.

Why would their soul go back to God if they are not living for God?

Do we have an immortal soul? I don't believe we do.   First we must understand what a soul is. When the bible speaks of souls it is simply talking about creatures. It can be people and it can be animals as the souls that went into the ark.

  The soul is the whole person. It is not just a part of the person. The soul can die as it says in Genesis.  "The soul that sins shall die." The soul can die so it is not immortal.

What happens when you die. The life goes back to God who gave it. Or as it says, "The spirit goes back to God who gave it." When it talks of spirit it is talking about our life from God. When we die we lose that life. We arn't ourselves that life.

So when that life leaves our body we are dead. The only thing that can change that is by life coming back into our bodies. Then we become a living soul again just as Adam became a living soul when God breathed life into him.

So untill Jesus comes back on resurrection day we will remain dead in the grave. Saying that our souls leave our bodies at death and go to heaven or hell is an oxymoron. Our body is our soul. God will raise it up again and make it new when Jesus returns.

When we die we stay dead untill then. Everyone will take part in a resurrection. Some to the resurrection to life and some to the resurrection to judgement. Untill then, nothing.

But just as when we sleep at night there is no awareness of time. So it will seem that upon death we will be back to life right then. It will be like we never died. We will seemingly be raised at the moment of death even though thousands of years may have passed.

Hear, O Israel! Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is one!

In Christ, George...
