What happens when we die?

Question

What do you believe happens when we die?? I was looking for some pictures of hypothermia when I came across this site. It said "gory" and against my better judgment I 'peeked'... Now I wish I hadn't.... (If you decide to 'peek' also.. don't say I didn't warn you.)

I do believe in Jesus, but seeing pictures of horrific deaths is really upsetting.. I can't help but wonder if those poor people suffered and if they're going to continue to suffer......~crying

Answer 1

Actually when people die; they're asleep in the grave. Death is called a sleep (Matt.9:24; John 11:11; 1Cor.15:51; 1Thess.5:10).
The spirit goes back to God that gave it!(Eccles.12:7; Psalm 146:4)




The Bible describes three hells.

SHEOL OR HADES, THE FIRST HELL
The first term in Greek and Hebrew means the grave. It's the grave where the dead await the resurrection.
GENESIS 37:35---I SHALL GO DOWN INTO THE GRAVE.
PROVERBS 15:11--HELL & DESTRUCTION ARE BEFORE THE LORD.
ECCLES.9:10---NO WORK...OR KNOWLEDGE...IN THE GRAVE,
MATT.11:23---WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HADES
1COR.15:55---O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY

GEHENNA, THE SECOND HELL
The second term in New Testament means the place of fiery destruction of the wicked.
MATT.5:22--...BE IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE
MATT.10:28--TO DESTROY BOTH BODY AND SOUL IN HELL

TARTAROO, THE THIRD HELL
This third term is only used once and refers to the place of restraint where the demon spirits were placed following the rebellion against God.
2PETER 2:4---BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL.

THE THREE HEAVENS
There's 3 heavens.

First Heaven = This is also called the firmament or expanse of heaven. It is the heaven where the birds fly and where the clouds give rain. (Gen.1:26; 2:20; 8:2 & 1Kings 18:45)

Second Heaven = This refers to outerspace where the sun, moon and stars can be found. (Gen.22:17 & Exodus 32:13 & Joshua 10:13)

Third Heaven = The Apostle Paul tells us that the heaven of God's abode is the "third heaven." In the Old Testament this is often designated by the phrase "the heaven of heavens." (Joshua 2:11 & Psalms 11:4 & 2Corinthians 12:2 equated with v.4 = paradise)

THERE ARE TWO KINGDOMS: ONE ON EARTH AND THE OTHER ONE COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN.

The 1st Kingdom of Heaven =
DAN.7:27 = "AND THE KINGDOM AND DOMINION, AND THE GREATNESS OF THE KINGDOM UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, WHOSE KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, AND ALL DOMINION SHALL SERVE AND OBEY HIM."
REV.5:10 = "AND HAST MADE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS: AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH."

The 2nd kingdom of Heaven =
AFTER 1,000 YEARS = A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH-HOLY CITY COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN = REV.21:1-4; ISAIAH 65:17-25; 66:1,22 AND ETC.

SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO---
ISAIAH 66:21; ZECH.14:9-11 = "BUILD HOUSES, PLANT VINEYARDS, EAT VINEYARDS"
ISAIAH 66:23; ZECH.14:16-19 = "WORSHIP FROM ONE NEW MOON TO ANOTHER AS ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER"
JESUS WILL BE GIVING CITIES TO THE SAINTS INWHICH THEY WILL BE TEACHING OTHERS THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE = MATT.25:14-23; EZEKIEL 36:10,33; LUKE 13:26; ISAIAH 61:4
WE WON'T MARRY OR BE GIVEN UNTO MARRIAGE = MATT.22:30
BOYS AND GIRLS WILL BE PLAYING IN THE STREETS = ZECHARIAH 8:4-5,8
MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH = PSALM 37:9-11; MATT.5:5; REV.5:10

Answer 2

In my opinion: We die, then go toward the light. We see those who have gone before us, even pets. Depending on how prepared you were for death, and how much prayer is being sent your way, you may go into a transition period, a time to accept your death, almost a counseling session. When you are ready you graduate into a beautiful realm where you continue to learn, you reunite with loved ones and eventually decide whether you will reincarnate or not. Everyone is in spirit form, souls, angels, Jesus, all the saints, etc., but we all know one another and recognize that we are all One. It's a beautiful thing, but most of us want to reincarnate so that our spiritual beings can once again experience a human existence. It is a great honor to be born into a body and not taken lightly.

Answer 3

Honestly, if you truly believe in Jesus and his Father, the Bible makes it quite clear on what happens when we die........

Ecc. 9: 5,6, 10 it says:

For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun. All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She′ol, the place to which you are going.

Sheol if you take the time out to investigate it's HEBREW meaning........ it means common grave of mankind. NOT HEAVEN or HELL!!!

Reason on the example about (Jesus' friend) Lazarus..........
Lazarus died, RIGHT? He was dead for 4 days....... Jesus, himself even mourned, cried, and was grieving over his friend ALL the time KNOWING he was going to resurrect him.
Now, when Lazarus was resurrected, did he say anything about going to heaven being with the angels and God and ALL THAT GOOD STUFF people like to say? Did he say He saw the LIGHT? Or did he mention going to HELL with all the FIRE and HEAT, and Satan? NO!!! He didn't!!

Now, open your mind.......... if that were to happen, like most people say it does...... Don't you think that those words would be recorded in the Bible about Lazarus seeing all those things when he died?? HONESTLY?? The Bible didn't mention it because it doesn't happen!!!

So, to conclude, when we die, we are in a deep sleep like someone on here mentioned earlier. And there will be in the future when God will resurrect us. John 5: 28, 29 says this: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."

Hope this information helps.

Sorry...... NO. The people you are concerned for..... They are NOT suffering. Whether they believed in God or not!!

Answer 4

Nothing happens. Our brains stop, die, and eventually decompose along with our bodies. With no senses (or brain, for that matter), we won't be able to see, hear, feel, smell, or taste anything after death. What happens after death? The same thing that happened before you were born. Nothingness. I don't believe in the supernatural, the afterlife, or some omnipotent deity controlling the universe like a Sims game. I chose logic instead of religion.

Answer 5

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

Rev 20:12And 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.
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.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Answer 6

If you are saved, meaning you accept Jesus into your heart and as your Lord and Savior, and repent of your sins, you go to Heaven. You don't actually die... you just leave your body and your soul ascends up. Seriously, read the Bible if you want to know more. It answers your questions. Heaven is the afterlife. This life is nothing compared to Heaven's "Glory" of which you speak. Ask Him into your heart if you haven't already.....your life will change, as promised by God. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm a young Christian, but strong in my faith. God Bless!

Answer 7

when a person dies the soul leaves the body and go to a place to wait for judgment day and then after being judged by the works the person had done in life , then God decides if that soul goes to heaven or to hell.

Answer 8

We will go to the world of spirits where there are two parts. Paradise and Prison. There we will await Christs second comming. After which we will all be ressurected. Then we will be judged according to our deeds done on earth. After that we will be assigned our final reward.

Answer 9

well I beleive when you die nothing happens. it's kind of like you're asleep. Your soul is the breath of life. when you die so does your soul. but I do believe thateventually everyone that dies gets resurected so your life isn't just a quick 70 or 80 years e-mail me if you want to know more

Answer 10

If we have committed our lives to Christ, we go to be with the Christian God in heaven.
