The word "angel" has been mistranslated in some English versions.

Strong's

H4397 mal'ak mal-awk'
from an unused root meaning to despatch as a deputy;

a messenger; specifically, of God, i.e. an angel (also a prophet, priest or teacher).

So, not all messengers are celestial. But some are.

It takes some real studying to be able to tell the difference.

The Catholics have their own version of the Bible that they believe supports many of their strange beliefs. I suggest you get yourself a non-Catholic version, something a bit more accurate.

I see, you are an exact type of person, by statement above.

I prefer to state, I believe God exists.

I'm sorry for your loss.

The answer to your question lies within what your beliefs are.
As for me, i believe our body is left here to pay tribute to mother earth.
The soul goes to where God has a place prepared for us.
A part of our loved one, perhaps the best part, remains with us in our memories and in our heart.
Sometimes we find comfort in knowing our loved one is no longer suffering.

CLV John 11:24 Martha is saying to Him, "I am aware that he will be rising in the resurrection in the last day."
25 Jesus said to her, "I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who is believing in Me, even if he should be dying, shall be living.
26 And everyone who is living and believing in Me, should by no means be dying for the eon. Are you believing this?"

barzakh for sure

Some people are going straight to hell

Agree .

lol.... where the dead who has died go.

The dead stay wrong.
Those who have died in different ways goes different places.
The wrong stay dead not knowing Our GOD.
Those that die there bodies go many places it depends on what ,how, and why they died.If they lived a good life an did as god asked as it was in the old way in the Bible.There bodies stay on earth the soul liftes up from the death form of the bodies and turns into Spirit.The ghost part within the internal part stay on the under-world,under ourland here on Earth.Since we gain four soul's every B-day from birth ad the churches won't tell you that.
If you did not follow GOD plan and you have died YOU GO TO US.
DON'T ASK LITTLE ONE ,STAY WITH GOD's PLAN IN THE BIBLE ,LOL....

At first when we die, our soul goes to Paradise or Gehenna which is a destination of the wicked. On resurrection day all the dead become re-formed, with their bodies. The good go to Heaven and the bad go to Hell and suffer forever. It's in the regular Bible. When Jesus told the thief Today you will be with me in Paradise, He did NOT mean heaven. Heaven comes on the final judgement day. It's all in the Bible...not the Edition of the Catholic Church which has added books. Not taught in Hindu or other religions.

Birth is mechanism one takes 9 month to fully develop then Born in to this world Death is also Mechanism, generally Human takes from hour to hour and half to realise they are no more.
as per Yoga out body is made up of Five vital air which keeps functions of body alive and keep up the time zone..
1) saman 2) udan 3) vyan 4)apan 5) pran vayu time of death first goes samanvayu
your body temp start to drop then goes the Prana vayu. Vyan take time from 8 to 14 days to leave body once Vyan goes out body start to deteriorate.Apan locked the whole system down so nothing can return or enter back is last one to leave

In normal death they leave very close proximity to each other so person get declared as dead.

in unseen circumstance body may just go in come becuase pran has left others are still in trying to work out the system back..

once you die you may enter in the bigger circle of life.

like Ist law of thermodynamic is energy exist from one form to another it never ceased to be exist,it can not be distroyed it just turn from one form to another.
hence we have periodic table evolution of one atom hydrogen to heavy mass ploutonium...you may not exist as body or name you do exist in some other form which has no form.

As there is no "hell" in the Scriptures, that would be impossible.

All souls go to sheol.

CLV Ezk. 18:4 Behold, all souls, they are Mine! as The soul of the father even as the soul of the son, they are Mine! The soul that is sinning, it shall die.

The soul is NOT immortal. Souls die.

i dont know if is it true or a superstitious belief. or a scientific belief that ones we died our souls go to heaven if we did good while we live in this earth but if we did bad we our souls goes to hell..

hallo

I don't recall reading about the internet in the Scriptures,yet the internet exists.Just because something is not mentioned in Scripture does not mean it is not real.The concept of hell as portrayed in Dante's Inferno may not be a Biblical concept.In earlier times in England I believe hell was a pit where potatoes were stored in the ground during winter.

This has to be one of the stupidest rebuttals for "hell" I have ever seen. The sad part is, I have seen it before.

I do not say that "hell" is not real. No one living can know that. But I do say it is not a Scriptural concept. There is no ancient term for "hell." Not one that describes how it is used today.

If there is no ancient term for "hell" then it stands to reason that the word "hell" is a substitute for something else.

However, no one will ever discover what that "something else" is as long as he/she indulges in stupid theologies.



So many Catholics had trouble with the concept that Dante's divine comedy is nothing more than a fictitious tale. It would be tantamount to reading a comic book.

Anyone truly interested in what the Scriptures say about death needs to stay away from such literature.

Just be practitioner of Quan Yin meditation, u will get answer what u ask, it's don't need to believe in God but u need to be vegan n practice meditation for 2 hours everyday. If u truly diligent to practice meditation inshaAllah u will also can traveling to d God kingdom when u live as human here. Good luck!

You are correct there is no hell in the Scriptures.To the best of my knowledge there are no English words in Scripture as Scripture predates the English language.You acknowledge that the concept of hell exists and this concept is mentioned on numerous occasions throughout Scripture.In my opinion the lake of fire is the closest in meaning to the general concept of hell.I would be interested to hear your definition of the concept of hell.My statement was not a rebuttal for "hell" but a rejection of your statement that because there is no "hell" in the Bible then it is impossible to go there following death.Your statement is based on the assumption that everything in the Bible is true and that your interpretation of Scripture is correct.It is obvious that there are many people here who do not agree with you.
Your statement that anyone truly interested in the Scriptures say about death needs to stay away from such literature is in my opinion indicative of a very closed mindset.It is often beneficial to look at alternatives in order to crystallise one's own thoughts on a subject. I don't know why you point the finger at Catholics over Dante.He was using poetic license and it was a comedy not unlike present day comics.Other people renamed it The Divine Comedy.

Of course, the word "hell" is not in the Scriptures. It's an English term. English didn't exist until about 1000 years after Jesus was here.

Here is the point that no one has addressed. There is no Ancient Hebrew term for "hell." The Ancient Greek term "Gehenna" was not used as "hell" in the OT, even though it did exist.

This is from the Jewish Encyclopedia...

SHEOL ():

By: Emil G. Hirsch

Position and Form.
Hebrew word of uncertain etymology (see Sheol, Critical View), a synonym of "bor" (pit), "abaddon" and "shaḥat" (pit or destruction), and perhaps also of "tehom" (abyss).

—Biblical Data:
It connotes the place where those that had died were believed to be congregated.


There is no Ancient term in Hebrew or Greek in the Bible that can be translated as "hell."

You can believe in a "hell" if you like, but there is no Biblical verification for that belief.
