What is there after death? Life. Being born again. Reincarnation. A new body, new adventures, new experiences, new opportunities for your soul to learn and evolve toward perfection.

When you die that is the end. But most people believe we have an afterlife where something called our soul lives on. That is the basis of religion. There are many theories on afterlife. Some say the existence of ghosts is a proof. Some say when we die our consciousness lives on in the form of energy. Some scientists are still trying to find out what really happens to us after we die. The answer may not come now or soon but people who cant wait turn to religion which claims to have all the knowledge:::the heaven, hell and limbo theory. But dont worry, we will all know the answer after we die and it's not a long wait.

This question certainly has preoccupied man's mind since the beginning. Rightly so. Death affects each individual in some way. It is natural to ask about death and what happens to us. Here are some scriptures that helps me understand what happens to us when we die:
Ecclesiastes 9:5: "The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all."
Here, the writer penned the truth about living people: We know we will die. Do notice what the congregator says about the dead at the end of verse nine: "...they are conscious of nothing at all." Verse ten buttresses the point made in verse 9 by reading: " All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol [or "the grave,"], the place to which you are going."
Due to time, I will mention just one more scripture. (This is my favorite.)
Ezekiel 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. (King James Version.)
The Bible is clear that when we die "we are conscious of nothing at all." And we are a "soul" that will die.Therefore, we must wait for the hope of the resurrection when all loved ones will will be well and alive again.

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.

I was clinically dead three times. I was in a coma. I was hit by a drunk driver.. it took me three years to recover from that accident. I had faced death's icy grip and yes I experienced life after death. I am an eyewitness as are many others.
Go to any emergency room at any hospital and talk with the doctors that see death everyday. Let them tell you their stories. I bet you will find them interesting.

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.

Life. Only the physical body dies by consciousness goes on. Check your local library for books on near death experiences for some clues.
