WHAT HAPPENS AfTER DEATH?

Question

DO we just die or is heaven and hell something we all have to experience.Or is it just a concept that religion gives us only to provide an answer to the most crucial but unanswered question ever?

Answer 1

I think you just answered your own question. I think there is nothing, but you're right, religion is easier to conceptualize than nothing.

Answer 2

Obviously....u become lifeless . Human mind is so restless that it will seek future at the cost of present . Never learns from past . lol . Heaven is when you live your life completely . At the end of every day you are contended and look forward to the new beginning with the next day. Hell is living a meaningless and worthless life .So, you dont actually have to wait for death to know about heaven & hell .
Honestly , this question scares me also . What will happen to me , where will i go , cant this life be permanat nad then i just say to myself......lemme not waste any more time in scaring myself . And then i spend more time with my dear & near ones.
Life/death/heaven/hell etc. are all man-made concepts . We are a part of a big circle, world . We have a beginning and a end .But the circle goes on . We do come back but with a new life, a new beginning (but not as the same old 'we') to keep this circle rocking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Calling it an afterlife rather than the limiting concept of Heaven and Hell opens discussion. Even science is examining the question of continuity of life.

There is generally considered to be 7 spheres interpenetrating and progressing from the earth life. It is about energy. The spirit energy that we have refined will take us (like the cream rising to the top of the milk) to the sphere we are fitted to occupy (this is usually 3 by the most spiritually aware earth can accomplish).

The first is an animal level at which there is nothing beyond intuition. On the second is darkness (fog) and little light and spiritual awareness (those that are criminal, etc. arrive here).

The 4th and beyond are accomplished as we continue to grow and progress in spiritual learning. Lessons of growth continue after death (in the afterlife) As below, so above. No one is 'stuck' without recourse to progress.

Answer 4

Each religion has it's own belief about what happens next. If you're a strongly religious person, your answer might be found from your church leader, etc. For the more secular like me who were never disciplined toward one religion or the other, I imagine death as the lights going out and that's the last thing you know. If you've ever had surgery where they have to put you out for a short while, you look back and recall that one second you remembered looking up at the faces of medical staff and the next you were waking in a recovery room. But you never remembered going to sleep or going 'out'. That's death to me and they your buried or cremated, but none of that will you know.

Answer 5

Actually when people die; they're asleep in the grave. Death is called a sleep (Matt.9:24; John 11:11; 1Cor.15:51; 1Thess.5:10).
The spirit goes back to God that gave it!(Eccles.12:7; Psalm 146:4)

The Bible describes three hells.

SHEOL OR HADES, THE FIRST HELL
The first term in Greek and Hebrew means the grave. It's the grave where the dead await the resurrection.
GENESIS 37:35---I SHALL GO DOWN INTO THE GRAVE.
PROVERBS 15:11--HELL & DESTRUCTION ARE BEFORE THE LORD.
ECCLES.9:10---NO WORK...OR KNOWLEDGE...IN THE GRAVE,
MATT.11:23---WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HADES
1COR.15:55---O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY

GEHENNA, THE SECOND HELL
The second term in New Testament means the place of fiery destruction of the wicked.
MATT.5:22--...BE IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE
MATT.10:28--TO DESTROY BOTH BODY AND SOUL IN HELL

TARTAROO, THE THIRD HELL
This third term is only used once and refers to the place of restraint where the demon spirits were placed following the rebellion against God.
2PETER 2:4---BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL.

THE THREE HEAVENS
There's 3 heavens.

First Heaven = This is also called the firmament or expanse of heaven. It is the heaven where the birds fly and where the clouds give rain. (Gen.1:26; 2:20; 8:2 & 1Kings 18:45)

Second Heaven = This refers to outerspace where the sun, moon and stars can be found. (Gen.22:17 & Exodus 32:13 & Joshua 10:13)

Third Heaven = The Apostle Paul tells us that the heaven of God's abode is the "third heaven." In the Old Testament this is often designated by the phrase "the heaven of heavens." (Joshua 2:11 & Psalms 11:4 & 2Corinthians 12:2 equated with v.4 = paradise)

THERE ARE TWO KINGDOMS: ONE ON EARTH AND THE OTHER ONE COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN.

The 1st Kingdom of Heaven =
DAN.7:27 = "AND THE KINGDOM AND DOMINION, AND THE GREATNESS OF THE KINGDOM UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, WHOSE KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, AND ALL DOMINION SHALL SERVE AND OBEY HIM."
REV.5:10 = "AND HAST MADE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS: AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH."

The 2nd kingdom of Heaven =
AFTER 1,000 YEARS = A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH-HOLY CITY COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN = REV.21:1-4; ISAIAH 65:17-25; 66:1,22 AND ETC.

SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO---
ISAIAH 66:21; ZECH.14:9-11 = "BUILD HOUSES, PLANT VINEYARDS, EAT VINEYARDS"
ISAIAH 66:23; ZECH.14:16-19 = "WORSHIP FROM ONE NEW MOON TO ANOTHER AS ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER"
JESUS WILL BE GIVING CITIES TO THE SAINTS INWHICH THEY WILL BE TEACHING OTHERS THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE = MATT.25:14-23; EZEKIEL 36:10,33; LUKE 13:26; ISAIAH 61:4
WE WON'T MARRY OR BE GIVEN UNTO MARRIAGE = MATT.22:30
BOYS AND GIRLS WILL BE PLAYING IN THE STREETS = ZECHARIAH 8:4-5,8
MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH = PSALM 37:9-11; MATT.5:5; REV.5:10

Answer 6

My belief is that there is life after death:Spritually the body gets buried but your spirit lives forever and your soul goes to either hell or heaven, depending on the life that you lead whilst still alive.But when the Lord comes back the death shall rise....

Answer 7

In Christianity you go to Heaven, In HInduism you have 7 lives and then you u go 2 heaven no one ever tells me what happens either.Tell me if you find out.

Answer 8

THEY SAY THERE'S A PURGATORY. IT'S REALLY AN ABSTRACT CONCEPT.


IN ORDER TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION ACCURATELY ONE MUST DIE.... AND THEN.... HMMM, SEND EMAILS FROM HEAVEN???


ACTUALLY NO ONE REALLY KNOWS, THEY HAVE THESE LEFE AFTER DEATH ENCOUNTERS BUT THERE'S NO CONCRETE EVIDENCE.


THE CHURCH SAYS THAT THERE IS HEAVEN, HELL AND PURGATORY. WILL YOU STILL BELIEVE THAT?


I'M NOT REALLY SURE. MEDICINE DESCRIBES DEATH AS THE STOPPING OF THE BEATING OF THE HEART AND NO BRAIN WAVES.... THEY CAN HAVE AnSWERS TO YOUR QUESTION BUT IT WOULD ONLY BE THEORETICAL IN NATURE.

Answer 9

No one really knows. Some religions say that you get reincarnated, some says you go to either heaven or hell. But a friend of mine told me that she heard from her friend who is a kind of paranormal, that when you die, it's just like waking up from a dream and going into a new life.. I dunno, I'm not dead yet..

Answer 10

there is no death. This was a big message Jesus taught that a lot of people miss. He came back to show people - hey look, there's a gigger plan going on, and you live on. heaven is closeness to God. hell is separation from God.

Answer 11

If you are a follower of Christ you can spend eternal bliss in Heaven, if you had the oppurtunity to accept Jesus as your savior and you turned him down then you will spend forever in Hell, and I can guarantee you it is not a nice place.
