Let us not forget the Omnipresence of God. God’s timeline is past, present, future all at once. Apostle Paul states “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord” When we die. Our timeline ceases. It is an instantaneous movement to the resurrection of the souls. Humans are limited to how WE define time in a linear motion. We often forget God is beyond that.

When Jesus talks about a parable. He says listen to this parable. The Rich man and Lazarus. Jesus made no statement that I could find that it was a parable.

Thats definitely something to think about. We’ll find out when our day comes. We just have to make sure we die in Lord - Rev. 14:13

AD,

I would tend to agree with you on this, but the other side of the argument points to verses like Luke 23:43. Of course then you have the question, if you die do you go outside of time?

So just because the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man is in fact a parable, it somehow lacks credence and is only a theory? I believe that is an accurate description of what happens after a person dies. They go to torment or paradise to await the Judgment.

Where does it say in the Bible that one goes directly to heaven or hell when they die?

Only the Angels, Jesus, and God are in Heaven right now.

In the second half of Matthew 25, Jesus talks about the Judgment.

Souls are sent to heaven or hell on Judgment Day.
