First, I really appreciate your work and find your words very interesting.

My Christian studies teacher, I am in high school, told me that he used to be one of your students back in college.

Now he assigns your Q&As as homework and has us summarize your answers and write a reflection on it.

While doing this assignment, I came across number 257, knowing that you are dead.

I found this a very interesting read, but I had some questions about it.

In your response, you mentioned that souls are separated from the body until the final resurrection.

Does that mean that our soul would stay on earth for a bit until we eventually joined God in heaven,

or would we float around in space or another realm like a lobby until we eventually go to heaven?

How long is the period between death and being resurrected?

I've heard the theory that one of our days, 24 H.Rs, is a lot different than God's days. Like how he created the world

in seven days, one day for God can be many, many years, while a day for us can be 24 hours.

So would God leave us as a lost soul for a long period of time before letting us into heaven?

Or would it be really quick? I know some people who believe that ghosts

are real. If the soul hangs out around on earth temporarily until they go to heaven, would that make

the soul a ghost? And would our souls be able to see our own bodies from a sort of third person

perspective? And I think that as a kid, I always feared going to hell

because it's always a dark place away from God. But now I'm no longer afraid of hell or death

because I've accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. However, I'm afraid of that lost period

between death and being transported to heaven.

It may seem like a stupid fear, but I don't want to float around as a soul for years waiting for the arrival.

Thanks a lot.

I know I asked a bunch of questions, but I was just really curious.
