What do you think happens to your soul when you die?

Answer 1

Your soul is of course set free...where you exactly go I am not sure and not one person alive can answer this question because they have never been there. Reincarnation...hmmm...I want to say yes, but, I am also unsure exactly. I did an essay for my college course on Death, Dying and the Afterlife, I read many books and read things by credited people that I was astounded by. It was not til after my report that I had realized the person that passed was sending messages if you will. I had a great loss and let me mention that I did not know of these things at that time I was working on my college essay. After reading the books I did, I have come to a conclusion which is this: This place we call earth is merely a place all are repenting for past and current sins. After all....doesn't the bible say no matter what everyone will be forgiven before entering. Everyone has to make the best of the life here that has been given to each. Life is once so live it to the fullest. I do know that each person who has lost a special someone will see them when it is their time. I know I will. That is what I believe.

Answer 2

I'm not so sure of an actual soul more as I believe that your body is made up of energy just like everything else existing on this planet. If we weren't made up of energy we wouldn't be able to be imprinted on something like a photograph or have our voices recorded. I believe that life and energy is ever expanding as well as the universe and that when you die, theoretically it would make all the sense in the world that your energy would disperse and be reincarnated... reincarnated into a blade of grass or a deer or even another human...energy lives forever so in a sense we are all related and all "part of" infinite life and energy.
that's what i believe, in short
If you think of an afterlife...just think...what makes us so special??? what about animals? The dinosaurs once ruled the world..and do we really think we're soooo special that there isn't other life on other planets...what happens to that life?

Answer 3

Before answering this question I found it helpful to ask a different, but related question: what happened to your soul before you came to life?

If you don't know what happened to your soul before you came to life, there is a good chance you won't know what happens to it when you die.

If you think, as I do, what happened to your soul before your life does not impact your life in any way, then your life experience should not have any impact to your soul after you die. Simply speaking, your soul will not carry your identity when you die. If it goes any where, it will restart from zero.

The Soul According to the Bible:

The Hebrew word translated “soul” is ne´phesh, and it occurs 754 times in the Hebrew Scriptures. What does ne´phesh mean? According to The Dictionary of Bible and Religion, it “usually refers to the entire living being, to the whole individual.” This is borne out by the Bible’s description of the soul at Genesis 2:7: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.” Note that the first man “came to be” a soul. That is to say, Adam did not have a soul; he was a soul, just as someone who becomes a doctor is a doctor. The word “soul,” then, here describes the whole person.

The word translated “soul” (psy·khe´) appears more than a hundred times in the Christian Greek Scriptures. Like ne´phesh this word often refers to the whole person. For example, consider the following statements: “My soul is troubled.” “Fear began to fall upon every soul.” (Acts 2:43) “Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities.” “Speak consolingly to the depressed souls.” “A few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water.” Clearly, psy·khe´, like ne´phesh, refers to the whole person. According to scholar Nigel Turner, this word “signifies what is characteristically human, the self, the material body having God’s rûah [spirit] breathed into it, The emphasis is on the whole self.”

In the Bible the word “soul” applies not only to humans but also to animals. For example, in describing the creation of sea creatures, Genesis 1:20 says that God commanded: “Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls.” And on the next creative day, God said: “Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds, domestic animal and moving animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind.”.

The word “soul” as used in the Bible refers to a person or an animal or to the life that a person or an animal enjoys. The Bible’s definition of the soul is simple, consistent, and unencumbered by the complicated philosophies and superstitions of men. That being the case, the urgent question that must be asked is, According to the Bible, what happens to the soul at death?

The Dead Are Unconscious:

The condition of the dead is made clear at Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, where we read: “The dead know nothing, There is no pursuit, no plan, no knowledge or intelligence, within the grave.” (Moffatt) Death, therefore, is a state of nonexistence. The psalmist wrote that when a person dies, “he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.” (Psalm 146:4) The dead are unconscious, inactive.

When pronouncing sentence upon Adam, God stated: “Dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:19) Before God formed him from the dust of the ground and gave him life, Adam did not exist. When he died, he returned to that state. His punishment was death, not a transfer to another realm. What, then, happened to his soul? Since in the Bible the word “soul” often simply refers to a person, when we say that Adam died, we are saying that the soul named Adam died. This might sound unusual to a person who believes in the immortality of the soul. However, the Bible states: “The soul that is sinning, it itself will die.” (Ezekiel 18:4) speaks of “a deceased soul” (a “corpse,” The Jerusalem Bible). And Nazirites were told not to come near “any dead soul” (“a dead body,”

Answer 5

I just think when you die, it feels like before your soul inhabited you before you were born. And you don't remember being anything before you were born ...so that's what happens again when you die. Sort of like nothing. Nothing happens, you're just done. Lights Out. Game Over.
