On 17th October 2021, Cheonji Ilbo (Cheonji Daily) published an article, in Korean, entitled, "(24 Wise Questions - 14) 'How do you believe that the spirits and souls of the deceased do not perish, but either go to heaven or hell?'” This is a translation of that report.

📰Korea JoongAng Daily published an article on December 17, 2011, which listed a series of questions posed by the late founder of the Samsung Group, Byung-chul Lee, one month before his death in 1987. Byung-chul Lee posed 24 questions on matters of religion and faith in writing to his acquaintance, who was a Catholic priest. 33 years had passed until these questions were published, and today the answers are finally being proclaimed to the public by Chairman Manhee Lee of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony. Now people throughout the world can finally find the truth they have been seeking. This paper seeks to answer the 24 wise questions posed by the late Byung-chul Lee.

(24 Wise Questions - 14) “How do you believe that the spirits and souls of the deceased do not perish, but either go to heaven or hell?"
(Chairman Manhee Lee) "Heaven will come to this earth and judgment will be made according to one's deeds"
Chairman Lee, Shincheonji Church of Jesus
There are times - while dreaming, semi-conscious or in vision - that a person’s spirit meets the spirit of a deceased parent, sibling, friend or well-known person. This proves that the spirits of the dead exist, just as my spirit is proven to exist in a dream.
It is not that the spirits of the deceased go looking for heaven; rather, it is God and heaven who come to this earth (see John 14:2~3, Rev 21:1~7). When that time comes, the living and the dead will be judged according to what they have done as recorded in the books of the Bible, and they will either go to heaven or hell (Rv 20:11-15). Ask a corpse - it will not be able to answer because it no longer has a spirit or soul within it.
