In the bible it says Jesus went to hell for 3 days preaching to the lost souls so they had a chance to get to heaven too

The dead do not come back and visit us.  They may be feeling spirits, but it's not their departed relatives.  It is demonic and is meant to lure you into false teaching.  Don't believe it.\n\nLuke 16:19-31 tells it well.  When Jesus used parables, He did not use names for the people in the story.  This is a true account and not a parable.  The man wanted to come back and couldn't.  If people could come back, they would only be declaring the Gospel I believe.

The only proof I know of is that Jesus was resurrected. I would say that's as close to afterlife as you can get. So read the bible and there you may find your answer. :)

I suppose you mean Lazarus, who was raised from the dead by Jesus. Interestingly, the Bible makes no mention of him dying a second time, although it is clearly understood that he did. However, there were several other Bible characters who were raised from the dead as well.

Absolutly not! It pains me to think of people going to hell. Even some people who have gotten on my last nerve, I don't revel in the final destiny if they are not saved. It pains me to no end.\n\nWe recently had a friend of the family pass away, and I do not know if she was saved or not.

NO. hellfire is an indoctrination that was put there by the church if you read in the bible the price that sin pays is death so he would have eventually dies and not have been resurected to heaven again. go research the ransom sacrifice on the web will help you to understand more

There was this guy who had just died and went to hell. When he got there he was greated by the devil and told he had to find a job in hell because he could live  for free, So the devil gave the man a tour. The first one was a job where he had to burn people and take off there skin, and the other one was a girl giving head. He told the devil he wanted that job. So the devil told the girl you can go now. He was the one who had to give head instead of the girl giving him head.

Jesus Christ is spoken of as “the first to be resurrected from the dead.” (Acts 26:23) This means that he was the first to be resurrected of those who would not have to die again. Also, he was the first to be raised as a spirit person. (1 Peter 3:18) But the Bible tells us that there would be others, saying: “Each one in his own rank: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who belong to the Christ during his presence.” (1 Corinthians 15:20-23) So in the resurrection some would be raised up before certain others.\n\n “Those who belong to the Christ” are the 144,000 faithful disciples chosen to rule with him in the Kingdom. Of their heavenly resurrection, the Bible says: “Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will, rule as kings with him for the thousand years.”\n\nThe very expression “first resurrection” shows that another one will follow. This is the resurrection to life on the paradise earth of both righteous and unrighteous persons. This will occur after Armageddon. It will be a “better resurrection” than that of the boys resurrected by Elijah and Elisha and of others once resurrected on earth. Why? Because if those resurrected after Armageddon choose to serve God they will never need to die again.—Hebrews 11:35.\n\nEarthly Resurrection.\nWhile Jesus was hanging on a stake, one of the evildoers alongside him, observing that Jesus was not deserving of punishment, requested: “Jesus, remember me when you get into your kingdom.” Jesus replied: “Truly I tell you today, You will be with me in Paradise.  \n\nThis would require a resurrection for the evildoer. This man was not a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. He had been engaged in wrongdoing, lawbreaking meriting the death penalty. (Lu 23:40, 41) Therefore, he could not hope to be one of those receiving the first resurrection. Additionally, he died 40 days before Jesus ascended into heaven and hence before Pentecost, which was 10 days after that ascension, when God through Jesus anointed the first members of those who will receive the heavenly resurrection.\n\nThe evildoer, Jesus said, would be in Paradise. The word means “a park or pleasure ground.” The Septuagint rendered the Hebrew word for “garden” (gan), as at Genesis 2:8, by the Greek word pa·ra′dei·sos. The paradise in which the evildoer will be would not be “the paradise of God” promised to “him that conquers,” at Revelation 2:7, for the evildoer was not a conqueror of the world with Jesus Christ. (Joh 16:33) The evildoer would therefore not be in the heavenly Kingdom as a member of it (Lu 22:28-30) but would be a subject of the Kingdom when those of “the first resurrection” would, as kings of God and Christ, sit on thrones, ruling with Christ for a thousand years.—Re 20:4, 6.

WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT DEATH\n\nJesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors. Lazarus was not being reborn as another human. He was at rest in death, as though in a deep sleep without dreams. Other scriptures also compare death to sleep. For example, when the disciple Stephen was stoned to death, the Bible says that he “fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60) Similarly, the apostle Paul wrote about some in his day who had “fallen asleep” in death.—1 Corinthians 15:6.\n\nLEARNING FROM THE RESURRECTION ACCOUNTS\n\nThe Bible teaches that the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” They are not alive and have no conscious existence anywhere. The account of Lazarus confirms this. Upon returning to life, did Lazarus thrill people with descriptions of heaven? Or did he terrify them with horrible tales about a burning hell? No. The Bible contains no such words from Lazarus. During the four days that he was dead, he had been “conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Lazarus had simply been sleeping in death.—John 11:11.\nThe account of Lazarus also teaches us that the resurrection is a reality, not a mere myth. Jesus raised Lazarus in front of a crowd of eyewitnesses. Even the religious leaders, who hated Jesus, did not deny this miracle. \n\nThink about this too: If Lazarus had been in heaven for those four days, would he not have said something about it?— And if he had been in heaven, would Jesus have made him come back to earth from that wonderful place?— Of course not!\n\nYet, many people say that we have a soul, and they say that the soul lives on after the body dies. They say that Lazarus’ soul was alive somewhere. But the Bible does not say that. It says that God made the first man Adam “a living soul.” Adam was a soul. The Bible also says that when Adam sinned, he died. He became a “dead soul,” and he returned to the dust from which he had been made. The Bible also says that all Adam’s offspring inherited sin and death too.\n\nThe Scriptural teaching of the resurrection, however, is not compatible with the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. If an immortal soul survived death, no one would need to be resurrected, or brought back to life. Indeed, Martha expressed no thought about an immortal soul that was living on elsewhere after death. She did not believe that Lazarus had already gone to some spirit realm to continue his existence. On the contrary, she showed her faith in God’s purpose to reverse the effects of death. She said: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:23, 24) Likewise, Lazarus himself related no experiences of some afterlife. There was nothing to report.\n\nClearly, according to the Bible, the soul dies and the remedy for death is the resurrection.

First of all, you do not have and immortal soul, if you did, then why had no one gone to Heaven before Jesus came to the Earth, 4000 years had came & gone since Adam & Eve, millions of people had died, what did Jesus say to a man of the Pharisees, Nic·o·de'mus was his name, a ruler of the Jews.\n\nJohn 3:13\nMoreover, no man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man.\n\nJesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead.

You enjoy the best sleep ever, until Jesus resurrects you, sometime in the future.

No, this is not true.  What about Christ or mother Theresa, do you think they are in hell?  What about Saint John the babtist? Or the apostles?  Whoever told you this was wrong.  You go to hell by your own choices.

Excellent question, for those who hold that Jesus preached in hell, moreover how can Jesus be so much more loving than the God of the Old Testament when he is going to damn most of mankind to eternal punishment for not liking him and that was never the case before? If that's love....

This is a pretty difficult question to answer.  \n\nAt death the body and soul are separated.  Those who will spend eternity in Hell seem to go to a type of waiting area.  Those who will spend eternity go to a similar waiting area - called Abraham's bosom at times - also called paradise.\n\nUpon the return of Jesus we will be given a body once again (the final resurrection) and the Sheep will spend eternity with God and the goats will spend eternity in Hell.

Catholics believe that after Jesus died on the cross, he descended into Sheol, the place of the dead where all souls were separated from God. While there He freed the holy souls who awaited their savior in Abraham's bosom. The damned stayed behind.\n\nWhether or not Adam and Eve were in the group of the just or the damned, I'm not sure. But I always hope that people are reconciled to God.
