In this episode of Scripture in Black and White, Anthony Walker and Bobby Harrington dive deep into the topic of what happens when we die, drawing from biblical teachings to provide a detailed explanation. They start by introducing the concept of Sheol from the Old Testament, a vague realm of the dead, and compare it with Hades from the New Testament, a more defined place of torment for those who die without faith. The conversation also touches on the biblical term 'Abraham's bosom,' which represents a place of paradise for the righteous.

Bobby shares personal anecdotes to illustrate the importance of understanding biblical teachings about life after death. He recounts an emotionally charged family moment involving a discussion about the afterlife and stresses the significance of adhering to scripture rather than providing false hope. The duo underscores the need to live a life in alignment with biblical teachings to ensure a place in paradise.

The episode then goes into the nature of paradise, drawing parallels between waiting for the final judgment and being in a temporary place of comfort or torment. Bobby shares an analogy about jail and prison to explain how people await judgment in either a place of comfort (paradise) or torment (Hades). He refers to various scriptures to support his points, such as 2 Peter 2:4 and Jude 1:6, which describe the fate of those who die without faith.

There is also a discussion on Jesus' teachings and actions after his death, referring to passages like Luke
