Most common questions about death follow as: When you die do you go in front of a judge and hope you pass with a ticket? When I die will I go to heaven or hell? Is there a hell? What is hell? Is there a heaven? What is heaven? What do you do after you die? Is there a such thing as purgatory? Is there a such thing as ghost? I have came across all these questions in my life, and I have to say they can all be answered with one word...yes...they are all wrong.

The truth is state firmly and clearly in the Bible. John 11:12-14 (New King James Version)12 Then His disciples said, "Lord, if he sleeps he will get well." 13 However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead. Well that solves the question about what happens when you die, the Bible simply says you are like sleeping. Then later in the chapter there is talk of resurection, this is the next thing that happens when you die. 23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." 24 Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day." So obviously when is the resurrection? The last day; what is that? John 6:38-40 "38For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." So he is coming again? Matthew 24:27For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Now we see that there is more to this whole dilemma: ceasing to exist until Jesus comes a 2nd time, where he will resurrect us. Then we can conclude there is no such thing as purgatory since everything that dies is gone until Jesus comes. Wait a minute...I have heard stories of ghost or I have even seen one. No you haven't remember in the Bible where King Saul consulted to a witch which therefore brought fore Samuel to speak too. Well Saul realized that he was talking to demons. So all Christians agree that ghost like appearances are demonic manifestations. Deceiving and seeking whom they may devourer.

Wait what about judgment? Here we go, hold on for another turn of pages in the Bible. In the last days there will be a cleansing of the sanctuary, this predicted
