what happens when you die?

Question

do you go on as something else,where do you go , who do you get there, what is it like- does it just finish-
I want a straight answers- what does you heart tell you, what have you read, have you experienced it

Answer 1

Are you talking about Heaven, Hell, Purgatory or reincarnation? I think you are so I'll try and answer your question. If I remember correctly, when you die your soul goes to purgatory. You will remain in purgatory until someone prays for you (In church the priest may say "Pray for the souls in purgatory" or something similar.). After this, your soul moves to Heaven if you didn't die without confessing a moral sin. A moral is is a big sin such as murder or adultery. If you have committed a moral sin and had a true confession before you died, then you may go to Heaven. If you died and didn't confess it, you'll go to Hell. I don't believe in reincarnation. Once you die, your soul is eternally in Heaven or Hell.

If you are talking about what happens to your body, not your soul, that is a different story. Once dead, your body will continue to function in some aspects for several days. Your finger nails will continue to grow as well as your hair on your head and facial features. I'm not so sure about digestion and if you ate or drank a large amount before dieing what happens. You may just let out the urine. I'm not sure about #2, though.

Good luck in not dieing soon!

Answer 2

No one knows from the perspective of the dead person.

Living people see a dead lifeless decaying rotting corpse.

That is all any of us really know for sure.

That is the way it always has been.

That is the way it always will be.

Sorry.

However, there is lots of senseless, ridiculous, absurd, speculation to accompany that. The relevancy of the last time I ate or had sex I will contemplate as a ghost. I have no nervous system but I will still remember. I will exist for what reason or purpose? Can my hands create as a ghost? What hands? Everyone knows that ALL animals and plants have souls. Perhaps I will be reincarnated as a cockroach or a famous blues musician. Why would I care if my past life was unknown to me? If millions of new people are born on Earth each year, where are all the "old souls" coming from if the planet's population was smaller in the past? Perhaps I will reach Nirvana and wink out into the Nil. If I cease to exist then who cares? I won't experience it anyway. All that I have learned would be for nothing. A joke. Maybe I will be in a tent on some desert oasis with a harem of beautiful women who want to serve my every beck and call while I partake of other pleasures? I get this reward because I slammed an airplane of screaming scared women into the World Trade Center Twin Towers for Allah. Perhaps I will reach the Pearly Gates of Heaven or burn and scream in "The Lake of Everlasting Hell Fire and Damnation" because I was sent there by a just and loving God.

Answer 3

I believe heaven and hell is right here. If you avoid sins and lead a guilt free life it is heavenly and if you have commited sins then your conscience haunts you and you are living through hell. Believing the Karma theory is a better way of stopping oneself from doing sinful things instead of doing them and then confessing later. God is just and commiting a sin gives the person instant guilt and he or she has to live with it whether the world discovers it or not. It then becomes a vicious cycle for the person and you ultimately reap what you sow in this lifetime itself. Sinners aren't very happy people. As to what comes after death, noone can tell you that. Each person has to find that out on their own.

Answer 4

We know the body decays unless it is preserved. We know some people who have been brain-dead or near death have had inexplicable experiences. (Some people try to explain them by assuming they follow the brain's path to death, but they have even less evidence for their position than the near-death people.)

There is a conference this weekend in France reviewing the current state of near-death experiences.

Our ideas of reincarnation and heaven and hell seem to have some basis in the varieties of near-death experiences.

There are a lot of articles and some books on the subject.

Answer 5

I am speaking from a Christians view. Your soul either goes to heaven or hell. If you know the Lord as your personal savior and have lived for Him, you will go to Heaven, if not Hell. Your body is just a vessel to hold your soul and it will go back to the earth from where it came. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

When you die there are many theories that i have in my mind.. First is that i think that when you die then your body is gone though the soul remains on the person and then the soul in transferred to another body though that is the same soul.... next i think that would happen is that the person is judged how he has behaved in his lifetime and is send to either hell or heven... Next is that nothing happens at all...

Answer 7

Unfortunately or fortunately depending who you ask, I'm not dead yet. My heart just kept going boom-boom when I asked it. Do you think it was maybe telling me that the afterlife is a set of drums?

Answer 8

My beliefs are:

a) You just lay in the ground and rot (gross, yes, but probably how things work)...or if you're remains are ashes, you remain wherever they were sprinkled.

b) I kinda sorta almost maybe believe in reincarnation lol. I just find it hard to wrap my head around that you are just dead. Where do your mind and spirit go?

Answer 9

Well according to my religion there is no hell only heaven your spirit can choose either to begin life a new or let it stay in peace in heaven forever

Answer 10

Well, everyone will have to give account as to what they did while on this earth. So you'll have to confess God, give account as to what you did. And then either one of two things will be said to you:

1.) Well done my good an faithful servant. (Heaven)
2.) Depart from me you worker of inequity, for I never knew you. (Hell)
