Answer 2

Hello Obie: Ah the big one......at the appointed time of physical departure, when the allotted number of breaths a soul has been given in this life has been exhausted, soon thereafter a judgement call is made by the Angel of Death. Various names have been given to that entity, but you need not worry about that. The call is based upon the karmas that soul performed in his or her life, specifically the number of good/virtuous deeds credited - comparable to the number of bad/noble deeds. The good stuff requires a reward and as you would probably imagine, the bad stuff requires a punishment. The key to rightly understanding this situation is that both the accumulated good deeds, just like the bad ones force the soul to have to take another birth inorder to be able to get the reward. Thus taking rebirth in another form, which is a large part of the judgement call made at the time of what we call death, is further imprisonment. If the real goal of human birth is to find the way out of the prison house of earthly life, a soul condemmed to having to take on another birth and be subjected to more karmic actions & reactions is torturous. Granted a rich & healthy life is relatively good, as opposed to the other side of that spectrum. However, as said, it does not alter the fact that time here on earth, being subjected to the horrors of the world, is harsh punishment anyway you look at it, particularly if one desires to be released from the prisonhouse, not just transfered to a so called better one. In the end, there is no death. Yes the physical body does die, but the spirit is eternal. It therefore continues going round & round & round on the wheel of life until conditions are ripe for the "blessed soul" to find the True path to reunion with it's Creator. As the old ***** spiritual song lyric goes, " free at last - thank God Almighty - I'm free at last !Good Luck!

Answer 3

When we "die" we simply cease to exist in a certain form ... yet those pieces of us continue to "live" on in how we influenced and affected the world around us.

Over time our footprints will become faded by the tides ... but if we lead such a life that others are compelled to follow us, in whole or part, then their footprints will replenish our own and we will live on through them ... and all whom they lead.

=====

If I have a glass of water ... and I drop an ice cube into it ... over time the cube will diminish and eventually fade away, blending with the water originally present.

The cube is "gone" ... but it is still there ... there is more water now, and the temperature of that water is cooler than it would have been if I had never added the cube ... and always will be cooler (for all eternity) than if I had not added the cube. Yes the temperature will rise ... but there will always be at least some infinitesimally small variance remaining from the introduction of the cube.

Answer 4

The Bible says when a person dies, he ceases to exist. Death is the opposite of life. The dead do not see or hear or think. Not even one part of us survives the death of the body. We do not possess an immortal soul or spirit.

After Solomon observed that the living know that they will die, he wrote: “As for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.” He then enlarged on that basic truth by saying that the dead can neither love nor hate and that “there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in [the grave].” (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10) Similarly, Psalm 146:4 says that when a man dies, “his thoughts do perish.” We are mortal and do not survive the death of our body. The life we enjoy is like the flame of a candle. When the flame is put out, it does not go anywhere. It is simply gone.

Answer 5

I have no proof but I am inclined to believe in reincarnation.
Not only is it a common theme throughout many of the world's
religions,from ancient times to the present day,but there are
documented cases of people remembering past lives while under
hypnosis. However,it's also possible they were false or genetic
memories so I can't say I'm 100% certain. Still,reincarnation is
easier for me to accept than the traditional Christian belief about
eternity in Heaven or Hell.

Answer 7

When we die, we find ourselves in a peaceful and painless state, and we experience a panoramic life review; whereby we get to clearly see how our actions and nonactions affected those around us. If we have tried to live by The Golden Rule and served others, we can ascend to a spiritual plane in The Light.

If, on the other hand, we have not lived a spiritual life and do not strive to amend karmic debts, we will not be able to ascend into The Light to a spiritual place (to at least the Mid Realms of Spirit - where the many Cities of Light, often reported by Near Death Experiencers, are located). As a consequence of our own retrogression through misdeeds, we are forced to stay in the Lower Realms of Spirit and be surrounded by people who are just as spiritually indifferent as ourselves.

We are all measured by The Light Of The God Force (which is nonliving, infinite and governed by Universal Law which cannot be changed one iota) by our application of The Golden Rule, and by our ability to love genuinely and deeply.

The Light is not biased toward any religious affiliation. The god, goddess, or gods you worshipped in life is meaningless to The Light. Only your love and character is what matters. That is why Near Death Experiencers are of every faith and philosophy. The vast majority of them do not see the Judeo-Christian god. But many are comforted to see the god, goddess, or gods they worshipped in life - so an image of that is projected to them by others in The Light in order to help them adjust.

Answer 8

Everybody has different beliefs. And since what we expect to happen in life usually happens, I think it is the same in death. If you believe there will be nothing after death, then there wont be. If you believe you will come back to life on earth, you will. If you think you will become a spirit, you will. We all have God within, which makes us creators, therefore, we can create our own experiences as we do in life.

Answer 10

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.

Answer 11

its a scary thought that overcomes me sometimes- you're going to go to Heaven. I can tell that you're a good person. But, start believing in God! All good people don't go straight to Heaven. They might go to Pergatory. It's a place where you make up for you're sins. If you start believing in God now, He can forgive your sins. No, it isn't over. While you are in Heaven, you may come down to Earth sometimes as a spirit. There are spirits down here for good reasons, don't get scared. Good Luck!
