The Bible clearly teaches that when we die we are not aware of anything. Eccl.9:5 -"For the living are conscious that they will die but as for the dead they are conscious of nothing at all".
In the account of the death of Jesus' friend Lazarus,Jesus compared death to a sleep .(John11:11-14). I really don't know how to word my question, but as a Christian, I like to think that I will be able to actually see my family in Heaven again...What is an afterlife if you are 'asleep' and know of nothing? Also, I have heard some Catholics believe that when you die you know everyone as your brother and sister, but not as your 'mom', 'husband', etc. You don't remember them. That scares me, too! What do you guys think?
