How could be people there swearing they know what´s to happen after death?

Answer 1

Always read your questions twice before you post them.

Answer 2

I disagree that believing in the afterlife is pessimistic. I was by my mother's side when she was dieing, my grandfathers side when he was dieing and I used to work as a CNA in a nursing home. I have witnessed well over a hundered deaths...and in the majority of them all I was either told by the dieing or you could see in their facial expressions and their eyes that there is something there. You see their eyes light up, you see their eyes focus on the afterlife...a place we can not see. I have heard them greet their deceased loved ones, reach out their hands to someone approaching them. I have listened to them speak of the great light and the beauty. If you could ever truly experience death on a regular basis as I did, there would be no way for you to deny that there is nothing. An unfortunately I have also witnessed a few people go that you could see the terror in their face, the fear...and I can only wonder if they went the worng way. You can't tell me that this is just something that dieing people do. When my mother was dieing, due to her morphine and brain surgery, mentally she wasn't all there. So she did alot of weird things that I would argue with her weren't right...when she started recieving hospice care in my home, the first thing the nurse told me is, "Don't argue with her that what she see's isn't truly there, her spirit is already preparing, and she may truly be seeing all of the people she is talking to." Enough said.

Answer 3

All animals have a natural instinct for survival, But humans also have knowledge of inevitable death. This is the curse of an enlarged brain.
Very often people wil claim to know what happens after death to gain power (i.e. attract followers). Others are so desperate to know, that they create an experience for themselves.
I do not believe that we are meant to know. Not to say, that something doesn't happen - just we are not meant to know as it is beyond human comprehension.

Answer 4

It's to make themselves more sure of what they believe. If they're convinced, they will swear to it, and argue, and no-one can really refute them. That's faith, the leap of faith, into areas of thought where you no longer need proof.

I'm with Robert Frost though- well, fortunately, not with him actually on the other side, but with his sentiment: "The cold wind blows from town to town but leaves no clue as to what will be-
there may be little or much beyond the grave, but the strong are saying nothing until they see."

What a poet, he's still the man.

Answer 5

Well quite a few people in the world, or maybe a lot, as i dont know of the true statistics, have had NDE. Which means: Near Death Exprience's.
There have momemtarily come out of their body, and have entered, differant realms of spiritual excistance.
Some have even been blessed with actually, seeing angels, saints etc..

Answer 6

huh - How could there be people swearing they know what's going to happen after death?

Who really knows? You only find out once you're there - and then it might be too late to do anything else.

Answer 7

I think if you stare strait at the sun for a day or two you might catch a glimpse. Or may bee just a glimpse of blindness. Religion has been part of humanity science its dawn, and I do not think it is going any were any time soon. And for all that do not be live in life after death, you are just as true of believers in a theory about death as any hard hitting christian,mus slim or Hindi cultist. We all be live in somethin, and that is our fundamental bond as humans.
-I think, I just saw Elvis!- gotta go!

Answer 8

Nobody knows the more swearing the greater the fear of death and the greater the desire to control other peoples lives.

Answer 9

Some people are just born optimists. Or are they? Personally I think that the belief in life after death is extremely pessimistic.

Answer 10

probably wishfull thinking, brainwashing, or a combo of the 2. i know theres something after death, or the shedding if our physical being. i found out about 4 years ago and it had nothing to do with religion or the bible. what it is, or how it happens i dont know, but it does happen.

Answer 11

To be straight forward, a person has to die and find out. In college, my academic adviser (Dr. Jack Boozer of Emory University) was once a VA Hospital Chaplain. He interviewed hundreds of vets who had at one time been clinically diagnosed as dead and a few moments later they were revived. Many of these "life after death" people had experienced such things as "seeing a tunnel," or "seeing a light" or "seeing loved ones who died before them." I know that I want to make sure that when my time comes to die that I will be ready. So, I believe in The first Letter written to The Church in Corinth by Paul. In chapter 15, Paul gives us hope for life after death: "Death has been swallowed up in victory. 'Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?' The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." If you want this assurance of a wonderful life after death, read Paul's letter to Romans, chapter 10, verse 9: "If you confess with you mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, then you shall be saved." Also, check out John 14 and all of I Corinthians 15.
