I'm asking this to understand what Christians believe, I'm going to a funeral shortly, a very close relative died and whilst she wasn't particularly religious her daughter is, and the funeral service is in a Church.
My understanding of Christian beliefs is that everyone is judged when Jesus returns, and then go to wherever their lives determine is due to them. If that is the case, what happens upon death, where are the "souls" in the meantime.
Secondly, what about all the people who died before Jesus came, are they in Heaven/ Hell/ wherever already?
I'm sure I recall say other such occasions the priest of vicar saying the deceased were with God, and we'll meet again soon, but isn't that contrary to the Bibles teaching?
