That is an interesting view. I believe that a soul reincarnates again and again until they are advanced enough that going back to earth is not necessary. When not on earth, souls spend time learning more about human life in groups with their spirit guides and people they have known in past lives. We all belong to a network of souls, so to speak and we learn from our mistakes.

I think a lot of people like to believe that there is life after death because of the fear of dying. If we believe that we are going somewhere else then the fear becomes less, hence believing that life really is eternal. I also think that this belief is a comfort to us when we lose loved ones as it reinforces the fact that some how they are still alive and watching over us. Personally I don't know what I believe and I guess I will not know until I die.

Is sleep similar to death? I would disagree with that unless the heart stops during sleep and rigimortis sets in. I disagree with the notion of eternal dreams but I do believe in the eternal nature of our souls.
I also believe in an eternal system of justice, justice will be done after death to all those who have broken God's law and have not enlisted an eternal and perfect Defense - Jesus.
I think most people hold to some concept of the soul, life after death and justice being done even in an after-death sense.

Well bubs, that question has actually been studied to death (heh heh pun intended). But seriously, in the 1880s leading scientists, philosphers, writers, politicians, and others got together and formed the British and American Societies for Psychical Research. Because of Darwin, they were disenchanted with religion, and wanted to see if they could find EVIDENCE of life after death.
The explorations were extremley exhaustive: they examined haunted houses, death bed visions, ghost sightings, and communications thru mediums. The final verdict: lots of damned good evidence!
After the leading members started dying off, around 1900, messages started coming thru mediums, saying that they were from these deceased former members of the BSPR and ASPR. Funny enough, these communications are considered the strongest evidence for life after death.
Want a good summary of this evidence? Try your local library for a very readable book called YOU CANNOT DIE! by Canadian professor Ian Currie. Currie died ... er, I mean moved on to the next world, a few years ago.
Faith is belief in the abscence of evidence. We no longer need faith, because we have plenty of evidence.

Which is more truthful, peoples feelings? Or God? People are fickle and get the feeling they need to kill, rape, steal, destroy, lie and hate. But only God remains constant and true.
There is a resurrection coming where every single person that ever lived a life will rise to be judged and it isnt gonna be pretty.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. -2 Corinthians 5:10

confident and it is call "Reincarnation" that's a non secular (like Hindu and Buddhism) and philosophical (Buddhism) perception that the spirit, after organic and organic go away, starts off a sparkling existence in a sparkling physique that is human form, animal or religious reckoning on the best and undesirable high quality of the previous existence's. For an occasion- there are a number of of of youngsters born prevalent , each and every 2d everywhere in the area and so so does animals.. some toddlers born in detrimental family individuals's and a few born in wealthy and a few in between, some born with disabilities and a few healthful.. some toddlers born and die at that occasion like they see the international for few seconds and a few are paralyses and ailment.. some born interior the international places the place they have the conflict and a few not.. and additionally, why do animals born.. as a replace of born as animals.. why can not those souls born as human beings?? all of them are the effects of what they have completed of their previous existence, do not you think of?? :)

When you die your body's cells have aged to a point where they cannot function any more. All the cells including the one that keep your electrical impulses firing which cause you to think and feel and walk and talk, die, your body slowly ceases to exist in the ever greater cycle of atoms and energies (the chemical/kinetic variety), to start "life" again as a plant or tree or form coal or oil or some sort of rock or mineral. That's what i feel i know.

No. According to the Bible at Psalm 146:4 "His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground, in that day his thoughts do perish." Also, at Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10 "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 in which you are going." (NWT)

I believe in heaven and hell and that the soul is eternal. I don't see how sleep can be compared to death. It would be lovely to make up our own ideas of what happens when we die, but Jesus himself has shown us the truth

Sleep is most certainly NOT similar to death. Sleep is a way for your brain and body to refresh themselves in order to work better. Death is when your body doesn't work any more AT ALL. You can dream while asleep because you are ALIVE, you can't dream when you're dead because you're DEAD.
No, I don't believe in life after death, or in your idea. Why? Because there is no proof of any kind for what you've proposed, or any other idea of life after death. None. Zero. Zip.
It may be what you feel, but there's no proof you're right, and no way to prove you're right, so why believe in it?
