[QUOTE="SLW, post: 4807374, member: 77893"] There is really no "true" Christian answer to what happens to us after death (except that there is eternal life and a resurrection), so this is one subject it's OK to be agnostic about. However, the one traditional teaching that makes the most sense to me and seems to be the most consistent logically, traditionally, and scripturally, is that both at the final coming and perhaps even immediately after death, we all experience God's presence. He does not punish or "not allow" anyone "in". To the righteous and/or those that love God, his presence and light is a positive, joyful experience. To those who hate God, that light will be unbearable like fire, exposing sin, the realization they have sinned against and rejected God's love, etc. In this way, everyone will experience God and His love after death, but how that is experienced is determined by your relationship with God. It's not perfect and I'm not good at explaining it, but that's the closest to how I think. [/QUOTE]
