Do you believe in life after death ?

Answer 1

I didn't used to but then this happened to me.

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Answer 2

Sure, people have medically died and come back to life through various procedures. CPR often brings back someone from the dead.


Considering we are all machines, death is a poorly defined word. I would not consider anyone to be dead until they are beyond repair.


Spiritual life after biological death is not likely at all. Having a Ghost in command of your body is similar to an analogy of having a little person sitting in a chair within your head ;p.

Medically speaking there are many parts of the brain which have been shown to produce consciousness. We are all machines, when we cease to function we cease to experience. The idea of life after biological death is like wondering if a car engine has a spiritual afterlife after it is beyond repair.

Bring on the thumbs down. I know that rational thinking can be difficult when you really want to believe in something faith based.

Answer 3

We go into another state of being where there isn't any time or space. There we stay until this reality needs a spirit to fill a body. When we merge with the new body our old spirit recalls knowledge it learned in the past life. That is why some people have special talents at a very young age. We keep coming back and learning and growing until we go to the next level of being.

Answer 4

Of course not. I think life on earth is Hell, so I do not
need to go on after my death. Sure I want to become
an old man, but I want to die in PEACE...

The End is the End — I hope.

But now one can really tell. I think as normal human
You always pay too much taxes, eat bad food,
drink bad wine and live Your life in small homes...
That' s no life for a human. And so — a normal guy like me —
is lucky to leave this earth in time. End of story.

The great Woody Allen compared life with
a concentration camp.... That' s all...

Answer 5

USA/Christian background - "I felt like all along I had been a Muslim"

have always been aware of the existence of God. I have always felt that He was there. Sometimes that feeling was distant, and often times I ignored it. But I could never deny this knowledge. Because of this, throughout my life, I have been searching for the truth of His Plan.

I have attented many churches. I listened, I prayed, I talked to people from all different faiths. But it seemed that there was always something that didn't feel right, it felt confusing, like there was something missing. I've heard many people in the past say to me, "Well, I believe in God, but I don't belong to any religion. They all seem wrong to me." This was my feeling exactly, however, I didn't want to just let it go at that and just accept it. I knew that if God exists then He wouldn't just leave us with no direction, or even a warped version of the truth. There had to be a plan, a "true religion." I just had to find it.

The various Christian churches is where I concentrated my search, simply because that is what I grew up with, and there seemed to be some truths in some of their teachings. However, there were so many different views, so many conflicting teachings on basic things like how to pray, who to pray to or through, who was going to be "saved", and who wasn't, and what a person had to do to get "saved." It seemed so convoluted. I felt I was near giving up. I had just come from yet another church whose views on God, and the purpose of our existence, left me so completely frustrated because I knew what they were teaching wasn't true.

One day, I had wandered in the bookstore and I went over to the religious section. As I stood there gazing over the vast array of mostly Christian books, a thought occured to me to see if they had anything on Islam. I knew virtually nothing about Islam, and when I picked up the first book it was solely out of curiosity. But I became excited with what I was reading. One of the first things that struck me was the statement 'There is no god but Allah,' He has no associates, and all prayers and worship are directed to Him alone. This seemed so simple, so powerful, so direct, and made so much sense. So from there I started reading everything I could about Islam.

Everything I read made so much sense to me. It was as if suddenly all the pieces of this puzzle were fitting perfectly, and a clear picture was emerging. I was so excited my heart would race any time I read anything about Islam. Then, when I read the Qur'an, I felt like I was truly blessed to be able to read this. I knew that this had come directly from Allah through His Messenger (SAW). This was it, the truth. I felt like all along I had been a Muslim but I just didn't know it until now. Now as I start my life as a Muslim, I have a sense of peace and security knowing that what I am learning is the pure truth and will take me closer to Allah. May Allah keep guiding me. Ameen
And after the death everybody have to reborn by the GOD those who have done sins will go into the hell and who have good deeds will go into a jinnah(heaven) surly.

Answer 6

The soul lives forever as it is part of God. So when the physical body dies the soul continues on. So their is no real death only a transition from one phase to another.

Answer 7

As to my Religion, YES I do believe. (I am a Catholic)

The study of Eschatology explains what will happen to us after we die. It is not factual really (of course) but you can see the relevance of dying and resurrection in that. As Jesus died and has been resurrected, we too will also be resurrected to be with Him in the eternal now condition of HEAVEN.

Answer 8

Yes I do. Our bodies are just a house for our spirit and our soul. All of our emotions and feelings don't just go away. We are made of energy and that energy continues on after our bodies give out. I definitely believe that our souls & our spirits continue on after we die.

Answer 9

According to the Bible, when we die, we sleep until the end of existance as we know it, then we are reawakened in new bodies to be judged. When we die, we separate from our bodies and until we are reconnected, we are not aware of anything. We are like batteries removed from a torch.

Answer 10

Nobody knows what happens after you die. But if you donate some money to me, I will see to it that you live forever in a happy place.
