Christian doctrine teaches that when a person dies, their soul either goes to heaven or hell. It has its roots in ancient Greek philosophers such as Plato mixed with Hellenistic culture and then blended with ancient Judaism. Is it pagan or is it Christian? We want to explore that subject today. For hundreds of years, the Church taught that the soul of man would have to be alive in order to go to a place called Purgatory.

The Bible tells us that when God created Adam, he did not give him a soul. When God breathes into Adam, he became a living soul. He became a person. Adam's body, made out of the dust of the ground was there, but it was dead. So, what is your spirit? The spirit or the breath of life is that which God breathed into a person at conception.

We have been taught for so long that as soon as a person dies, their soul goes immediately. If they're an unbeliever goes immediately to hell, or if they're a Christian, their souls go immediately to heaven.

The pagan concept that has come into Christian doctrine is that your soul also is a spirit. And it has given rise to a lot of these modern-day prophets and prophets that go to heaven, sometimes weekly. An angel leading them around from mansion to mansion and taking them up on a big hill.
