What do you think will happen after we die?

Question

I don't want the bible point of view. I want YOUR opinions & point of views

Answer 1

I don't think we die. I think we wake up in another reality and take it from there.

Answer 2

I would love to see an answer from Mainworry that did not include 20 references to the bible.

My honest belief? When I die, my body is going to be lowered into the ground in a secure box, and over time my body and the box are going to disintegrate, where all of the lovely creatures of the earth will feast upon my remains.

As for life after death, or the idea that my soul will be reincarnated, I honestly don't know. I don't believe there is a heaven or a hell (unless earth can be thought of as a form of hell.) I can't imagine what it is like to not exist, so in a way I hope that I am able to live in another lifeform after I die. There is really no way to know for sure until I die, and lets hope that's not for a long long time!

Answer 3

I love your question. I hope my answer will give you HOPE.
Of course this is only a point of view, because I'm not dead yet, and can't tell you what its like. But there are many hints that can give you an idea.
Already imagine how you feel aware of yourself. Who is that looking out at the world through your eyes. And when you are looking around you, and sensing, and feeling, smelling, hearing all that is. Don't you wonder how is it so. Why is it so. The fact you wonder at all. Think of how perfectly you have been made and how perfectly everything works ... as long as you take good care of the machine.
Well body parts, are mechanical in a way. If you were missing an eye, or an arm or a leg, you can still function, that is continue to be aware of being. So what matters, is this awareness of being. "I think, therefor I am" so to speak, so to think. There are many hints at this in the bible, but as the bible is off limits, I'll try to evade the context, but with great difficulty, because the key is there.
Anyway, this spark of self awareness is what makes us living things. And think of what keeps us alive. We need air to breathe, food/fuel to recycle through our fleshy vehicle, for maintenance and growth. And all this, controlled by this gizmo inside our skull
we call a brain. We even have the capacity to make another one of us, if need be. As time has gone by, it seems we've been around for millions of years, we seem to get smarter and today can replace more and more of our broken down parts. We can even soon clone ourselves. But the one thing we can't do, is resurrect our dead.
We can create life, with new babies. But we can't re-create life. This is because living and dying is part of the cycle of nature. So as the body dies, what do you think would remain, if anything does at all. It must be this sense of being that each one of us feels. How can you figure this to be so. What makes you different from the person who left his hand print deep inside a cave wall 30,000 years ago, or the people who built the pyramids (some people say it was the Egyptians around 4500BC, or some think they were already around when the Egyptians come across them. Matter of fact there are pyramids in other places too) to name a few. The point is, somewhere back then, people just like you and me existed (I know that.. you will say), but these people, had the same feelings of awareness as you feel right now. And they also began to wonder what happens next (after I die). And somewhere in this total consciousness of ourselves, they decided to leave us a marker , saying "hi, out there, anybody listening?". "Look! I was here". So, if you are sure that there is nothing left after we die, except oblivion, this would seem so pointless. But the fact that we have come to be aware of one another, and the passage of time in between. I am led to think, well, here I am (just as you are), I have seen you, all you before me, and I have seen you die, and you have seen me die, but I still am here ... and if you can hear me, that must mean that I am not dead, but still living. Could this mean that I am immortal? Who am I, if I am not YOU?

Answer 4

seriuously, ive always thought we just stay here and but like in another dimension or something. Not a big fan of the whole heaven and hell thing, no evidence and no substance outside the bible so no truth behind it. my theory is just an opinon but then again it kinda sounds better than either heaven and hell. I think we as humans are too complex too just die and not exist when we pass away. hope that helps.

Answer 5

I know that after we die those that have been doing the way of the Lord will ascend in heaven while those that have been doing contrary will end up in the flames of fire for eternity and the reason why I know is cause the Bible told me so.

Answer 6

"Dead as a door nail"
"Pushing daises"

We will live on in the memories of those whom we have impacted - both positively and negatively.

For those of you who believe in an afterlife, I'm sure that concept gives you great comfort. I'm not sure that you accept that we who do not, have equal comfort with our thoughts.

Also, I don't understand the concept that the believers may be eligible for "heaven" while the non believers will go to "hell". Do you really think that believers have a monopoly on morality. Cannot atheists and agnostics live just as moral a life? And, under your beliefs, wouldn't god "rewarded" the non believers for having lived a "just" life?

Answer 7

DEATH AND HELL

Psa.23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the SHADOW of death, I will fear no evil: for
Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.

Flesh death of the body is a SHADOW of death, a silhouette or likeness of the second death.

Heb.9:27 And as it is appointed unto men ONCE to die, but after this the judgment:

If you are already dead why then after this the judgment?

Matt.10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather
fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Fear (revere) God Who can destroy both soul and spiritual body, that is second death.

I Cor.15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and
there is a spiritual body.

There is a flesh body and a spiritual body.

II Cor.5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: II Cor.5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) II Cor.5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Absent from the flesh body, present with the Lord.

Ecc.12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Ecc.12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God Who gave it.

The spiritual body and soul return to God.

I Cor.15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall
have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory.

The second death is what Christ paid the price for. Until the mortal puts on immortality he is still considered dead or liable to die the second death.

Ezek.18:4 Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

All souls are God’s. The verdict for sin is the second death.

Heb.2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

God through flesh death paid the price for the second death. Satan already sentenced to the second death has been defeated. Satan can’t say we deserve the same verdict.

Rev.2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that
overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

Those who overcome Satan become immortal, the first resurrection.

Rev.20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

The rest of the dead, that is mortal souls, missed the first resurrection, that is immortality, until the thousand years are finished.

Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

A thousand years, a time of teaching by those who had part in the first resurrection.

Rev.20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from Whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Rev.20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

The dead, that is mortal souls.

Rev.20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Rev.20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Don’t read over that. Death, that is Satan, and hell, that is separation from God, were cast into the lake fire, the second death.

Rev.20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

The second death.

Answer 8

you go to a place where you reborn as you really are, not just flesh and bone, but more complete....

and i think that the guy who wrote all those bible passages does not know how to read, you said no bible point of view!! so that can mean the he does not think for himself he let a book to think for him.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Geez Jen, who is this Mainworry, we die and guess what the earth keeps spinning, politics stay dirty, the rich get richer, Paris Hilton gets old but still smiles, and life goes on. Enjoy life for one morning you may wake up dead.

Answer 11

I nearly drowned when I was 10. I saw the tunnel and beautiful music was playing. Somehow I floated to the surface, I was still alive.
I don't think you go anywhere. When your dead your dead.
I think the experience I had was a common experience, common to humankind. - not a religious one.
