What happnes to you when you die?

Answer 1

Once you pass on, your shell, or body, does many changes. If you are cremated, you body and organs become gases and ashes. These gases are around you everyday. People breath them in and out. That is one way for you to live on. If you are buried, your body goes through deterioration. The the plants that are above you live off the nourishment of your body and your life will continue that way as well. But after you expire, and I don't mean die, expire, you will be in the thoughts of many people you have touch in one way or another. These people will never let you die. Just because your body died, "You" didn't. Life is eternal, you will never die as long as someone can remember you.

Answer 2

What happens to me when I die? It all depends on what religion I have faith in.

For instance, some parts of Buddhism believes in reincarnation where the spirit is reborn as another being. Eventually, the cycle ends when we have reached Nirvana.

The Christian perspective has the individual going to a place like Heaven if only he or she believes in God and Jesus Christ. In ancient times, some believed that we go to another land called the Underworld, and live a life of misery if we did not live an upright life.

These days, some are agnostic, and do not believe in anything at all. There are also those that believe one ceases to exist after death. There are few that are accepting of other religions and have combined one or more beliefs to call their own. When you die, you may no longer exist as your former self.

As the old saying goes, "the only constant thing in life is change" and the change can be for the better. When I die, it may be the opposite of living, or it may even better than living. This is a path that we all must seem to take, and we may not return because it seems to be a one-way ticket.

Answer 3

I used to work as an orderly in a nursing home. One of my duties was to pick up people who "expired" and put them back into their bed for the Doctors and Nurses to examine. Only the Doctor could proclaim the person was actually dead.

It was kinda freaky the first time I got called to an expiration. I was half way down the hall before I realized what they had announced over the P.A. I began to wonder how I would react. Man! This was someone I had known for months.

Well, I walked into the room and there he was lying on the floor with several nurses fussing over him. When I picked him up the first thought that came to my mind was that there was absolutely no muscle tone, no resistance when I picked him up. I placed him in the bed and positioned him for examination and went back to work.

I remember thinking, "he's not there". The man I knew was absent from that body. I thought about it all day long. This routine happened many times while I worked there and all the people I picked up I knew. I had the same reaction every time. I picked up an empty shell.

With this evidence I could surmise that we just cease to exist and return to dust. But my conviction is that the soul (the personality of the person I knew) is eternal. But that is a discussion for another day. You can get all kinds of opinions about the pros and cons of that subject with another question.

Cheers mate,

Answer 5

WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT DEATH

Jesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors. Lazarus was not being reborn as another human. He was at rest in death, as though in a deep sleep without dreams. Other scriptures also compare death to sleep. For example, when the disciple Stephen was stoned to death, the Bible says that he “fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60) Similarly, the apostle Paul wrote about some in his day who had “fallen asleep” in death.—1 Corinthians 15:6.


The Bible teaches that the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” They are not alive and have no conscious existence anywhere. The account of Lazarus confirms this. Upon returning to life, did Lazarus thrill people with descriptions of heaven? Or did he terrify them with horrible tales about a burning hell? No. The Bible contains no such words from Lazarus. During the four days that he was dead, he had been “conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Lazarus had simply been sleeping in death.—John 11:11.
The account of Lazarus also teaches us that the resurrection is a reality, not a mere myth. Jesus raised Lazarus in front of a crowd of eyewitnesses. Even the religious leaders, who hated Jesus, did not deny this miracle.

Think about this too: If Lazarus had been in heaven for those four days, would he not have said something about it?— And if he had been in heaven, would Jesus have made him come back to earth from that wonderful place?— Of course not!

Yet, many people say that we have a soul, and they say that the soul lives on after the body dies. They say that Lazarus’ soul was alive somewhere. But the Bible does not say that. It says that God made the first man Adam “a living soul.” Gen. 2:7, Adam was a soul. The Bible also says that when Adam sinned, he died. He became a “dead soul,” and he returned to the dust from which he had been made. The Bible also says that all Adam’s offspring inherited sin and death too.

The Scriptural teaching of the resurrection, however, is not compatible with the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. If an immortal soul survived death, no one would need to be resurrected, or brought back to life. Indeed, Martha expressed no thought about an immortal soul that was living on elsewhere after death. She did not believe that Lazarus had already gone to some spirit realm to continue his existence. On the contrary, she showed her faith in God’s purpose to reverse the effects of death. She said: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:23, 24) Likewise, Lazarus himself related no experiences of some afterlife. There was nothing to report.

Clearly, according to the Bible, the soul dies and the remedy for death is the resurrection.

Answer 6

You will be judged by Jesus Christ according to how you lived your life here on earth.

According to how you treated other people: the sick, the lonely, the poor, the hungry and according to how you used your time that God gave you, according to how you used the money and the talents that God gave you.

Did you use what you were entrusted with to help and heal the world and to bring comfort and peace, or did you use what you were entrusted with to gain wealth, power, fame, and pleasure for yourself?

Did you honor God with your life?

Answer 8

I think its obvious what happens to your physical body when you die...but the question is what happens to your soul when you die?...Although the answer is basically unattainable, I think Mitch Albom has one of the most interesting answers for that...read his book "The Five People You Meet in Heaven."
