Compare this to: Ecclesiastes 9:5:
The living are conscious that death will come to them, but the dead are not conscious of anything, and they no longer have a reward, because there is no memory of them.
How can people go anywhere after death? If they did, then wouldn't it be some kind of joke that Jesus is going to return and put us into new bodies? THen what do we have physical brains for? Where does the bible support reincarnation? Getting new bodies are a recreation of our bodies, not an incarnation. And bout ghosts...If you go to heaven or hell, how are they here on Earth? Couldn't they just be frigment of our imagination that demons have puppeteered into reality?

You also need to read Matthew 27:51-53 which says after Christ died, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom and the earth did quake and the rocks rent: And the graves were opened and many b9odies of the saints which slept arose and came out of the graves , after his resurrection and went into the holy city AND APPEARED UNTO MANY.

A great reason why man should really live in accordance with the laws of life. First he should enjoy his life with all the others that wanted to live their lives enjoyably. We are all born to be happy and we create our own sorrows by our choosing or not choosing to do what is good to be blessed.
Though I believe in the after life for the reason that I do not think we are just born so then we should only die; I still would carry on to what Ecclesiastes has taught as it may save us all from the process of continuing rebirth because of our ignorance. When your physical body decays, you become part of the earth that sustains and nourishes the ground for the growing trees of life. Your memory may no longer be there but the reward is there as you become part of a continuing cycle of life.

I don't believe in ghosts. I believe that in this Bible passage its basically saying that when you die you are in an unconscious state, like in a deep sleep, you have no concept of time or where you are. I After a busy life of "living" its like sleeping. After a hard day at work, you would not want to rest? I believe that when Jesus returns, we will regain knowledge of ourselvs, we will have our reward, and will regain our memory. The bible does not support reincarnation. Ghosts and demons are not the same thing, demons are real they are mentioned in the Bible.

In my vicinity tons of men and women stroll and motorbike. It's even ranked as one of the walkable places within the US. My speculation is due to the fact that parking is so dangerous in which I are living each person might as a substitute stroll than seeking to uncover a parking spot for half-hour. People that are living within the seashore towns have a tendency to stroll and motorbike extra. I have long past to different neighborhoods and surprised to look no person at the streets. Some ingredients of Los Angeles appear like a grost the town.

If you are saved by Jesus Christ when you die you get to go to heaven with him. Those who are not saved die and are conscious of nothing. When Jesus comes back, he will rise the dead from there tombs, and the dead from the sea, and they will be judged. Good works cannot save you, only believing in the Son and having faith that he died for you.
Your body is only temporary, God gave men free will to make there own decisions. You can deciede to be saved by Jesus or not the info is available. Ghosts and spirits are tricks satan the devil uses to entice you. The devil will trick you into believing the ghosts are real. He will make them appear as angels of light, and they will decieve you. God allows the devil to have some power. God basically uses it as a test to see if in fact you are faithful in the Lord Jesus Christ. To never forsake the Lord no matter what happens to you.

Read about the conversation between the rich man and Abraham. The rich man was in torment, where the beggar was in Abraham's bosom. This shows that the soul and spirit survive after death, to one day be united to a new body.

I think you're taking Ecc. out of context, I believe the whole book speaks of earthly matters, not spiritual things as much.
As far as all those others, good questions, but not really all that important in the grand scheme of things, I guess you can ask Jesus when you get to Heaven.

If you are interesting to fly away, will be a bird or insect depanding on your habit. If you are easy to be angry, will be a snake or dragon. If you like to sleep, will be a shell, clam etc.
