Do You Believe In Life After Death?

Question

If so how or why?? and dont answer just because of your religion please.

Answer 1

I told my son as my mom told me,
There is life after death and you will find me again. We will know each other and have an unconditional and familliar love that cannot be broken as we have had an ongoing connection that is sacred. If you should take your life, you will be fed to the world of others who have done the same. It takes courage to excell through the circle of life to be an angel. Be strong and stay where you are, God will take care of you.

Answer 2

No. Look in any dictionary. Death is the end of life, not the transmigration of it. The only times there have been resurrections (& will be one more) are for specific purposes. Resurrection is not a continuation of life as some other creature, it is the recreating of the individual, complete with personality ... Death is simply absense of life, not transmigration, or reincarnation in any form. One 'falls asleep in death', which is the way Jesus described Lazarus' condition when he had died ... "resting...sleep". He was physically dead, but in the sense that he was alive in Jehovah's memory, he was just 'sleeping'.

Answer 3

There is no death! It is but an illusion as we are mired in our corporeal existence. Death is only a step in going back. What people have not realized, or lack the capacity understand is that we are away from our home here. This is not our TRUE existence. Death is but walking through a doorway back to the Spirit World.
The spirits have said and it has been known for years and documented. I may not be able to provide a 100% NON-religious reference for this, but will tag some links to E-books below.
For me personally, I have seen it and experienced it with my own eyes, the mediumship between our corporeal existence here and the Spirit World, and even though life on Earth is fraught with suffering and heavy decisions, you need not fear death.

It is difficult to answer your question if not answered from the perspective of my religion/scriptures.

If you want to know whether anyone can answer this from experience then it is different - frankly I don't think you will be getting many answers or at least many genuine answers.

There are some not very well publicised incidents around near-death experiences, out of body experiences and also some where people who claim to have re-incarnated - I cannot vouch for any of these as I have no experience of these and I also tend to be a little skeptical about such reports.

The Hindu scripture Bhagavad-Gita teaches that we are not these material bodies, we are instead eternal spirit souls who are neither created nor destroyed. The material universe we experience/inhabit was created by God due to the soul's desire to try and enjoy separately from Him. Although we don't know whether this was a rebellious need for separation or just as in children who simply grow up and want to experience life independently from their parents.

The reason I tend to believe in life after death is that I believe there is a God since I don't think all that we have just came about by chance - it is like expecting a roll-royce car to assemble itself from some stuff in a junk-yard.

Believing in God I also tend to think that God would not simply give us one opportunity to get things right or suffer eternally or lose the chance of salvation. This is why I believe in reincarnation as explained in the Hindu scriptures. The Bhagavad-Gita teaches that the soul simply moves onto another body as a person changes clothes. The Bhagavad-Gita also explains the laws behind re-incarnation and also how to free oneself from the cycle of re-incarnation and go back to our original spiritual world with God.

I also find the reincarnation explained in the Hindu scriptures more believable than various other re-incarnation ideas I have come across - there are some pretty fanciful/wild onesout there.

Answer 5

Nope.
The childish notion that there is a "better" place after we die is the single greatest reason why leaders of nations play russian roulette with the lives of thier countrymen.
If we all realized that we have ONE life and ONE life alone, we might, just might, make this place we call earth a place worth living in. But the idiotic notion that there is a better place prevents most people from giving a damn about the world around them. Hence the mess.
Religion has a LOT to answer for!

Answer 6

People that say no to this question don't know what they are saying. Yes their is life after death. Their is also Hell after death. It doesn't matter whether we believe it or not. Its fact we can't escape from it. The question we need to ask is, 'Where am I going when I die, Heaven or Hell?' and 'How do I get to heaven?' Now that is simple. Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ turn away from your sin and you will be rewarded with heaven as a bonus to forgiveness, acceptance, peace, joy... the list goes on.

Answer 7

I think that SOMETHING has to happen. I mean, everyone has a concience, and thats you. Your personality probably lives on with OTHER people and so, in a manner of speaking, yeah. You do "live" after death. I think that its kind of like a dreamless sleep, or re-encarnation(I can't spell, rag if you wish) without a memory of a past life. Hey, you might even "meet" an outcome of your life in your next life!! Oks, I'm done now...

Answer 8

I'm not answering your question, because I don't really think it matters if there is life after death, but I was just going to say that I like your picture, it reminds me of 1983, in a good way.

Answer 9

Yes I believe in life after death. I believe this because it is evidenced in nature. An apple falls from a tree, it withers and rots, yet from the seeds of the dead apple a new tree grows and once again a new life cycle begins.

Answer 10

I'm not a religious person, but i would like to think there is something out there for us when we die.
Seems sad to think we die an that's it all over.
Lets hope if there is life after death its better than the life we have now.
