Soul Sleep?

 I talked to these people handing out tracts downtown in Montpellier, and they told me when I asked them that people do not go to heaven when they die but they stay dead until the resurrection.  They said that people like the apostles were allowed into heaven because they had to build the kingdom up there, but everyone else was out of luck.  They didn't ever mention the parable Jesus told about the two people in heaven and hell, what Paul said about being away from the body and present with the Lord, and what Jesus said about the soul not being able to be killed.  It just bugs me a lot.

Now, I should probably do my homework.
