I can only speak now from a Judaic/ Christian paradigm. Though I realize others hold varying religious beliefs, for example:
Reincarnation and such.

That said, this is quite a hot, and highly disputed topic, even among those who hold scripture as true.

Where I have 'landed' thus far....all basically boils down to what timing will be necessary, for each individual person's resurrection. Since I hold true ALL will be eventually raised.

Now, to muddy ( or clean up) the waters a lil more....Personally, I just think it is as simple as this: Is the person alive or dead, BEFORE they physically die?

Did they, as Jesus warned about...die "in their sins?"

He also quoted referencing how Abraham, Isaac, Jacob's God...is a God of the Living, not God of the dead.
That's pretty radical, considering He Himself had not yet been raised from His own experience of death, as " firstborn from the dead."

To simplify....I suppose it will come down to what "death" actually means....even scripturally.

Who does God see as "dead" even though still moving around in a physical body, on earth? Who does God see as "alive" in this same regard?

And how does a ( to coin a popular show) walking dead one....cross that barrier to become ALIVE? In His sight?

He is the God of the living, Jesus confirmed that, according to the scriptures.

So, I suppose it is just this, as far as where anyone goes upon their physical death...alive to God ( in Christ ) ....or not.

If yes, alive, nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ. Not even death, scripture states. Not current anything, even.

So this, I think, is why the Apostle Paul spoke of different times pertaining to
" resurrections."

All will be raised. Every knee will bow and every tongue acclaim ( that's a happy word in Greek, not a say it mad hating your guts God before you send me to the make believe endless torment Satan made up place so many preachers bought into)
ACCLAIM that Jesus Christ is Lord...to the glory of God the Father.

There will come the time of judgement...before the One who is seated on a great white throne. The Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

He alone is Worthy to sit in "that" place when even all the rest of the dead, not previously raised, will be.
He alone, Who created all, and knows all the facts of each of our lives and circumstances...innate or learned, is Worthy to set it ALL right.

This is what biblical justice truly means. To set things RIGHT.

God is Love. And as a good Father, He will correct those who need it, are dead in their sins yet, at the Great White Throne judgement time, He is raising everybody who has not yet been raised in the 1st and 2nd resurrection, because
He is a good Father. His will be done on earth. He disciplines every son ( daughter) He receives.

He is the Savior of all men, especially those who believe. 1 Timothy 4:10

Flesh dies.

Interesting to me is how it appears the belief from last two posters is that,...
Flesh is all we are.

Is that what you believe?

About hell

It is in Hebrew and Greek

Grave.

When we die, our physical body dies.

Understand that first.

You are also God-breathed, a spirit.

He purposed you with His breath.

You are more than you yet, realize.

Well many people have told me to " go to hell!" so... who knows?

Kidding aside, nobody knows because no dead people have ever come back to tell the living folks what the deal is.

People can speculate all they want, but no one knows.

I suppose there are many who believe the testimony given in the scriptures ( Bible) --that there is One who not only physically suffered and died, but was also raised out of death, a Victorious Savior, for all mankind. The second Adam. The first brought sin and death to all mankind from him.

This One God sent though, His Son, brings life to all. Conquered death.

He is risen.

Merry Christmas. :)

Agree. I might call that ' energy' the spirit God breathed into you. You are breathing his given breath.

Scripture says the life of the flesh is in the blood.

And blood/ours dies.

His blood shed, was for the Life of the world. His blood and body.....given so we will all remember,...and someday understand what He did, when He laid down, gave up, His Life, that sacrifice, to identify wholly with our death experience
..and then to take it by it's chains and break it ...
In His Resurrection . For all mankind.

Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. - John Baptist
