If The Dead Are Already In Heaven Or Hell, Why The Resurrection? by Ukutsgp(m): 3:50pm On Nov 14, 2013
Some People claim to see vision of heaven and hell in which they see some pastors who had dead in hell. The shocking thing is that they dnt often see pastors in heaven but only in hell. This prompted me to ask the question that if those who are dead have been taken to heaven or hell what is the purpose of the ressurection? Ur comment pls.

Good question bro.

The institutionalized church and its gurus have made a complete nonsense of the resurrection by placing people in hell and heaven after they die , which means the resurrection from death is really a farce and a convenient formality.

do u believe that Abraham, Joseph, Jeremiah, peter, paul, John and even Mary are in heaven as the catholic claimed as well as those who travel to heaven and hell as someone strolling from his or her bedroom to parlour and so on? Dnt u think it negate the teaching of 1 corinthian 15?

Physical resurrection is only for Jesus Christ and not you and I. You have to know the earth is here to stay forever, meanwhile more generations will keep coming, Women will keep giving birth to Children. Nobody will resurrect from their graves like Jesus did..

"One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever." (Ecclesiastes 1:4).

John 11 vs 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: Jesus is the resurrection, the resurrection God wants from you is spiritual ressurrection, believe in Christ although you were dead, you will be resurrected.

Besides that, All spirits goto God when they die, and i dont think God is in hell, do you think God is in hell?

"Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." (Ecclesiastes 12:7).

then after that, you know after death is judgment right?

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" (Hebrews 9:27).

where is the judgment place? It is on earth, after death you will come back on earth to be judged.

"And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there." (Ecclesiastes 3:16).

And when you overcome, when you live a righteous life, you shall go no more out.

"Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. " (Revelation 3:12).

It is as simple as that, after death nobody goes to hell or whatever.

Daniel 12:2.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt

Yes .

They are not in heaven and nobody is in hell.

All the dead are waiting till resurrection at the second coming of Jesus.

Ignore the lies of religion.

1 corinthians 15:13-20.
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is christ not risen:
14. And if christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that he raised up christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16. For if the dead rise not, then is not christ raised:
17. And if christ be not raised, your faith is vain, ye are yet in your sins.
18. Then they also which are fallen asleep in christ are perished.
19. If in this life only we have hope in christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20. But now is christ risen from the dead and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

It is not mentioned in any of the other gospels or epistles, if it was such a huge event I am sure it would have been corroborated all over the new testament.

The general feel is that it is bogus.
