Paradise is a place of blessing, where followers of Christ go after death. That is, their spirit, which never dies. Their body goes directly to the grave until resurrection day. The word paradise is usually used as a synonym for “heaven” (Revelation 2:7).
When Jesus was dying on the cross and one of the thieves being crucified with Him asked Him for mercy, Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). Jesus knew that His death was imminent and that He would soon be in heaven with His Father. Therefore, Jesus used “paradise” as a synonym for “heaven.”
There has always been a separation of believers and unbelievers after death (Luke 16:19-31). The righteous have always gone to paradise; the unbelievers have always been separated from God, because of their sins. Sin cannot enter into heaven, or it wouldn't be heaven. Jesus remedied that when He died on the cross (John 3:16), so that all have a chance to be saved, and their sins forgiven.
For right now, both paradise and hell are “temporary holding places” until the day when Jesus Christ comes back to judge the world, based on whether or not individuals have believed in Him. The first resurrection is of believers who will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ to receive rewards based on meritorious service to Him...not theirs sins, as they have already been forgiven upon their confession of faith. The second resurrection will be that of unbelievers who will stand before the Great White Throne Judgment of God. At that point, all will be sent to their eternal destination—the ones who died in sin, which separates them from God, (Revelation 20:11-15), and the righteous to a new heaven and a new earth (Revelation 21—22).
If you've not received Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, it is not too late to do that. He is just a prayer away and rejects no one who comes to Him in truth.

We're learning about this in school. There are only four general beliefs:
Natural continuation
Magical continuation
Magical discontinuation
Natural discontinuation
NC can be proven true. All the rest are miserable fails.
