What is rewarded at death?
To rephrase the question what really goes to Heaven or Hell,  is it the body,Soul, Spirit or all of  the above mentioned?

Only few Christains know and understand  the answer to this very delicate and  puzzling question.  The true answer to this question can be found only in the Bible.
Most of the confusion over this issue is as a result of people not understanding what a Bible refers to as a Soul or Spirit.
In the Bible a spirit can refer or mean 3 different things.
*A living being:God is a spirit, Angels,Demons & Satan are
spirits Heb12:9,Heb 1:7, Leviticus 20:27

*It can also be used to refer to the breath of life in Man or
animals. James 2:26,Job 33:4,Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto
God who gave it.

*It can also be used to refer to a persons will, capacity,
countenance,reasoning, mind,intellect,zeal,thoughts,visions or dreams.Gen6:3,Genesis 41:8, Exdous 31:3,Exdous 35:31.
Isaiah 40:13 ...'Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or
being his counsellor has taught him?'
Romans 11:34 ...'For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or
who has been his counsellor?'

Also the Soul in the Bible refers to 3 different things.

* A living person or animal.genesis12:15,genesis 46:18

* Life force or life of a person
Genesis 35:18

* Faculty or reasoning or intellect of a person,mind,thoughts.
songs of Solomon 1:7,3:1, Isaiah 26:8&9.

At death the spirit goes back to God who gave it  while the  body turns back to dust.

All through the Bible no where is the Soul or Spirit  described as an independent element that can exist on it's own without the body and neither does the Soul or Spirit has Immortality.

Man is nothing more but clay or dust powered by the spirit of God. Life is what makes us a Soul.

Now we have understood what a spirit or soul is we will now look at what the Bible says is rewarded at death.

Evidence of what goes to Heaven or Hell.

*Ressurection:Paul taught the early Christains that the only hope of reward for those who died in Christ is the ressurection.
This raises a valid argument if the  just can only rewarded by their ressurection from the Dead which means neither their spirit or soul is rewarded at death as wrongly taught.Paul also gave more insight on this issue by explaining that when Christ will come the Dead in Christ will be raised with their corruptible  mortal bodies transformed  to immortal  bodies and  then they will be taken to Heaven. Job 14:12-15
1Cor15:51-53, 1thess4:15-end.
2 Timothy 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

The unjust will also be ressurected  but will not experience any changes in their body or nature they will still be raised with the corruptible body which they had before they died they will be judged and cast into the lake of fire which the Bible calls the second death.
Revelation  2:11  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.   Revelation  20:6  Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

*Lazarus and his ressurection: when Jesus arrived at the house of his dead friend Lazarus we are told that a conversation ensued between Jesus and Mary who acknowledged that her brother was going to be ressurected on the last day. this implies that Mary understood that it was her brother's ressurected body that will  be rewarded by God and not his soul or spirit.
John  11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.  11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.  11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

* Torment in Hell: Jesus taught  the people that in Hell their will be great torment pain and gnashing  of teeth this implies that the unjust body is what goes to Hell as Jesus also informed us that  spirits don't have flesh and bones or teeth. Matthew 25:30, Luke 24:39.

*Death and ressurection of Jesus:
It was Jesus's transformed body that ascended to Heaven and not his spirit or soul. Acts 1:9-11.
Note also that  Jesus told Mary not to touch him for he had not ascended to Heaven. (he did not go to Heaven until 40days after his ressurection)this implies that Jesus soul or spirit did not go to Heaven or Hell as wrongly taught in Churches but  he was at rest in the grave as all the Dead are till the end of the 3 days. John20:17,Luke 19:9.

*Body(Eyes and hands)in Hell:
Jesus taught the people that it was better for one to go to Heaven without hands or eyes than to be cast to Hell with both hands or eyes, this gives evidence to the fact that the body is what is punished in Hell and not the Spirit or soul, Matthew 18:19

*Transfiguration:The transfiguration  of Jesus on Mount  Olives  is given to us as an example of how the mortal bodies of those who are in Christ will be transformed before they are taken to Heaven.
Matthew 17:2, Mark 16:9

* Soul and body in Hell.
Jesus taught his disciples and the people that  God will punish/destory the body and soul (life/breathe) of the wicked in Hell.
Matthew 17:2, Mark9.

*The words of David, Isaiah, Daniel and Job:
There is no doubt that this great men where inspired by God to write that the body of the just and unjust is what is rewarded after judgement. Job14:14,Daniel 12:12, Isaiah 26:19,John 11:11,Plasms 17:15 and plasms112:10
Job  21:30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth(from the grave)to the day of wrath.

*Parables of tares and Wheat:
The parable of tares and Wheat  teaches us that the body of the unjust(tares) would be cast into fire.
Matthew  13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.  13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

*Body of Moses.
When Moses died the Bible tells us that Satan came to claim the body of Moses but he was resisted by an Angel of God.
Jude 1:9
Secondly it was not the Spirit of Moses and Elijah that appeared before Jesus, but it was  the ressurected body of Moses, and Elijah who did not experience death that appeared to Jesus. Luke 20:37,Matthew 17:2.

*Paul's words and teachings.

1 Corinthians 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
Matthew 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,


1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.


In Conclusion.
The word of God is clear on this subject, it is the physical body of people, changed for the just and unchanged for the unjust  that is rewarded after judgement and not some imaginery spirit or soul.

Thank you.

So then, what does 'dry bones shall rise again' mean?

If you check the first and last pages of the holy Bible, one word appears familiar in the two pages and that's the SPIRIT OF GOD!

That means God is a spirit and only the spirit would be important to God.

1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that
we who are alive and remain until the coming of the
Lord will by no means precede those who are
asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel,
and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ
will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to
meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be
with the Lord.

Ecclesiastes 3:18-21 KJV
I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. [19] For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. [20] All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. [21] Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

Matthew 10:28 KJV
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.



The body journeys end on earth and return to the dust it came from....

The main function of the body is to house the spirit... The body doesnt transit with the spirit to the heavenly realm

The word spirit here you quoted means breathe or life force.

If the spirit is what goes to Heaven or Hell why do we have a resurrection?

Jesus was bodily resurrected before taken to Heaven, why?

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. Revelation 6:9

In the gospels Jesus says what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and his soul

Man is flesh, he has a soul that's accountable to God
Then the children of God receive a spirit, the Spirit of God and are Body, Soul and God's Spirit

Our souls return back to God, the ones redeemed are kept the rest like you said will return into their dead bodies and end up in the lake of fire but those evil souls won't be in heaven, or in peace they will be in hell.

This is why they say bible study is important in every Church


Firstly... There are 3 aspect to every Man.. The Body(Flesh), Soul and Spirit.... Firstly you need to understand that when God breathe into man he deposited his spirit into man...Gen 2:7

The body houses the Soul and the Spirit... The difference between your soul and spirit is that the soul is where everything is deposited and keep your thought,Ability to decide both wrong and right, but the Soul also contains Mans Spirit...

Your spirit is what you use to communicate with God and connects with Him... That is why the bible said God is spirit and He who worships must also do it in spirit.. God has no interest in Mans Flesh


Now the tricky part is the soul of man can be influenced by Both the Body and the spirit.. Because A mans Soul can only understand the captain which directs it...


The Body(flesh) is a sinful existence of man because its has been cursed since lucifer was cast down..

If a man is not well grounded in the Holy spirit of God the flesh which is influenced by the Evil spirit on earth can easily corrupt ones soul...

The Soul itself can not sustain and survive on its own.. Its either its influenced by the corruptible Flesh or its Influenced by the Incorruptible Spirit of God... But the Soul can never ever be empty or alone... It must have a master... That is why theres always a constant battle of our conscience in making both right and wrong decisions


Genesis 6:12 KJV
And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

Now understand this... Due to the Sinful Nature of the Flesh it cannot transit into heaven because Habakkuk 1:13 said


Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity


That eyes of the lord is so pure that it cannot behold any form of iniquity... The Flesh being Sinful cannot enter heaven or stand before the throne of judgement


Kindly read about Enoch the Prophet and about his transition into Heaven..

Once a Man die the Soul exit mans Body and prepare for judgement while the Body returns to the dust, the Soul goes to a place reserved for them while some roam around the earth till judgement day

Matthew 22:30 KJV
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Who cares what? The important questions like David asked should be "Who"?, "How?" What is the gain of knowing what if you don't know how?

Once you die thats all


Nothing like ascension, ressurection
Judgement and punishment
It's all bull crap
