No--the dead are conscious of nothing at all. "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing_ "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest." _"(Ecclesiastes 9:5 &10)
The dead are only sleeping but God will remember them and resurrect them back to life. This will happen very soon for we are at the end of the last days

No. How could they? There is no sorrow, no suffering in heaven. If you were in heaven and could see or hear your child get hurt and suffering...how would you feel?

Thats not much of a heaven if you still feel pain and sorrow.

A lot of people use Hebrews chapter 12, verses 1 & 2, where there is a great cloud of witnesses, and they think that means that they are sitting in the heavenlies watching us and every move we make. But that is not so. The great cloud of witnesses are the great heroes of the faith of chapter 11. And because of the way they lived, we are to follow their example, but they can not look down from heaven and see what is going on in this earth, if they could it would make heaven hell, because they’d see so much heartache, even among their children and grandchildren, etc.
Now, the Bible teaches that there will come a time when we are like Christ. In Acts 15:18 it says, “known unto God are all His works...” And Christ is the 2nd member of the Trinity, and now in His heavenly body, He knows everything about everything, because He is God. That means He is Omniscient, knowing all things about all things. When we are raptured, then we get bodies and minds like His. That’s why David said in Psalms 17:15, “I shall be satisfied when I awaken with your likeness.” And when we see Jesus we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is, I John 3:2. So there’s an hour coming when we get these new bodies and new minds, and then we will be all knowing. And not until then. So nobody in the heavenlies now can see what’s going on.In Luke 15, whenever anyone is converted upon the earth, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over 1 sinner that repents, because the message is relayed to the angels, and the angels relay it throughout the heavenlies. So that if a mother’s son finds Christ, and one for whom she’s prayed for years, there is joy because the message has been related. It’s not because she knows everything, she won’t until she gets that body, the new glorified body of the resurrection. So, I hope that answers the question, because it is exactly what the Word of God teaches. And oh, Jesus is coming soon, and we’ll have that great mind in the near future.

YES... THEY DO

I know, my whole family has the spiritual blood in it's family, we have seen family come back, I have so much knowledge on this I am thinking of writing a book or two, I'll need some help since I am not that great of a writer.
I seen and felt, ghost on earth, Spirits and Angels from Heaven, and God's presences intervene to me in the moment of truth, and I felt what he said. I had an Anegel woman with the most beautiful voice speak to me, two years ago, and visit by either a Angel or a relitive four months ago. my brother saw my Grandfather, he came back two other times. I felt and knew it was my mother in law that came back to visit me three times after she died three months earlyer. heck my dog came back the first night I laid her in the ground. The spiritual world is so much alive, they can be with you in a second if you think about them, their spiritual Spirits, they sense what you think, and especially prayers. They are with you mmmmmore than you think. I know also a lady from work, her son died two years ago, and her husban about six months ago, they both at different times came back and said the same thing to her, that not to worry, it's good where they are. my spirituality is getting stronger, I see and feel more then ever. most all Spirits are very kind, but if you feel them it sometimes just feels funny, but they are very nice, lol my girlfriend got a back rub one night, she thought it was me that I came home from work, she turned around, no one there.I don't seek them, they usually come to give a message, or if I pray for protection, they're on thier way, so be ready.
May the good Spirits be with you!

What is “a living soul”? Genesis 2:7 Dust and breath, that is what we are dust and breath. Genesis 3:19 Dust you are and to dust you return. Let’s look at a controversial text. The book of Ecclesiastes chapter twelve and verse seven, dust to the ground, spirit to God who gave it. So one might ask what is the spirit if not what we commonly call a ghost? James it’s a little book right after Hebrews. read in chapter two verse twenty-six. This chapter is mostly talking about faith without deeds being dead, but here in verse twenty-six it states, “The body without the ‘spirit’ is dead.” Not much, we didn’t already know, but what is this spirit? The book of Job sheds some light on the fact in chapter 27 verse three; Job is talking to his friends about God. He states that as long as he has life in him the breath of God in his nostrils he will not…deny his integrity. It goes back to dust and breath again. So what does happen to a person when they die? Ezekiel 18:20 states that the soul that sins, it shall die. In first Timothy chapter six verses 15 and 16 Paul is talking to Timothy and says (read) God is the only one who is immortal. Let’s see if we can find out where the dead are. What is it like for those that have died? Does the Bible give us any indication? Ps 115:17 “The dead praise not the Lord neither any that go down into silence.” And again in Ecc 9:5, 6 & 10 “For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun.” “Whatsoever thy hand finds to do, do it with all thy might for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” God says the dead know not anything. In the gospels, John chapter 11, when it talks about Lazarus death, in verse eleven Jesus calls death sleep. How many of you, when you get a good nights sleep realize anything that goes on around you between the time you fall asleep and when you wake up? That is what it is like to be dead. Look up at the light. shut those off for one moment. Okay where did the light go? Where did it go? It doesn’t go anywhere. It takes two things to create light, the bulb and electricity. Without both things, there is no light. You can turn them back on now. When a person ceases to breathe the breath goes out of the body (take a deep breath and blow it out) and the body; it goes where we bury it to await the resurrection. Are we really sure that our loved ones are not in heaven now? Let’s close with reading a couple more texts. The first text is found in Acts 2 (read); Peter is talking to the crowd about Jesus resurrection. The part of the dialogue I want us to concentrate on begins in verse twenty-two and ends in the first part of verse 34. David, the King David, is dead and buried and has not ascended to heaven. When will we expect to see our loved ones again? First Thessalonians chapter four verses 15 though 18 answers this question for us. One minute a person is alive and what will seem to them as the next minute God will call them from their graves. And finally, Revelation chapter twenty one verses one through five, we go to heaven together with our loved ones when Christ comes again and there will be no more death or crying. Won’t that be a glorious day? I can hardly wait. Won’t you wait with me today?

no person rather is conscious all the Bible says approximately it, interior the hot testomony is that "we've a great cloud of witnesses" in Hebrews financial ruin 12 verse a million it talks approximately how we ought to continuously keep going and keep attempting to be extra appropriate some think of the witnesses are our kin in heaven, others think of its the angels, others think of its the two individually, i've got faith that God we could our kin in heaven see purely the happy stuff that occurs to us, with the aid of fact there is not any unhappiness there

I was writing a letter to my mom once, and when I said
something nice about my grandmother who had passed on.
It felt like a hand touched my hand.
We often talk to the spirits of our loved ones in our dreams.
Even the spirits of those still living on the Earth. Because we
travel astrally during sleep.

first of all i dont beleive our dead loved ones are in heaven since Rev 20 speaks of 2 resurrections one for the righteous and one for the wicked.whats the point in having 2 seperate resurrections if the good are in heaven and the evil are in hell? I dont beleive God would want us and our sorrows to be seen by our dead loved ones,it would only cause them pain and misery,where the love in that?

That is a very good question and the answers are as varied as there are people. Some say yes, some say no. If they can see us, there sure are some disappointed/disgusted parents watching, hu? We will know the answer one day. Pops

I really do think so. If you pray and you believe God can hear and see you, why not our love ones who past do the same. I have faith in God and I do really think that our loves ones can see and hear us.

Did you know that our loved ones going to heaven when they die is completely unscriptual?? That is no where in the bible. When people die they...well get your bible and look up Ecclesiates 9:5,6. That will explain where the dead are. Hope that helps.
