Question

In case your wondering I personally don't belive in "life" after "death"...

Answer 1

Life after death. The word death is in reference to your earthly body the body of now. That is the body that dies. Life afterward proceeds a new body in heaven .

Answer 2

Death is only for the physical body that we know , the one we see every day , the life after death is related to the spirit or our souls which by the way is the accumulation of every thing you can't touch, that is all the laughter , the pains the joy , the knowledge you have accumulated all the experiences is the essence which will it self build into the spirit or your soul , this soul will eventually return into another person or baby to begin with , how do I know ? there were experiments of young children just at their beginning of being able to speak words , and they knew of places which they never yet had a chance to learn from any source , but they remember it from their past life , You see in a new baby the soul that entered would remember the past life , but the baby having a brain like a sponge to receive new knowledge and estimuli from his new saroundings, that as he grows , memories from his soul become overshadowed with all the new information he is receiving as he grows older. So death is a essential part of life, just like birth , only it hurts the surviver for losing the loved one

Answer 3

It's called life after death because believers maintain that all humans have an eternal soul that can not be extinguished by the death of the body and after the mortal body has died, the soul can now be judged by God or whatever spiritual agent and live a new life in heaven, Nirvana etc.... free of the mortal coil.

Answer 4

I believe in life after death, "whats goes around comes around" We have been here before at one time or another, and I believe we have had more than one life, what is heaven and hell,? life on earth is hell, there is violence, death, starvation, poverty, so much sin,wars, the list goes on...As far as heaven, I dont think we actually go up to heaven, but our souls go to a better place,I also think we wrote our own destiny, and we will know the life as we live it on judgement day, and we will understand everything...

Answer 5

Because they couldn't call it pizza... already taken. Really, words are just symbols. In order to communicate the abstract concept, there has to be a code or symbol to which we can associate the idea.

That said, just because "death" connotes permanence to you, it may not to someone else. This doesn't change the nature of the abstract idea that the word symbolizes... only the implications of the idea on a personal belief system.

You could just as easily ask why is marriage commonly referred to as wedded bliss.

Answer 6

yeah i absolutely believe in life after death. it's called death because we as humans have this obsession with naming everything, quantifying and qualifying all aspects of existence, classifying items and experiences, etc... we have to call it SOMETHING because we obviously don't know WHAT it is. maybe people have had NDE'S, sure, but no one that has crossed over and stayed has ever been able to tell us what death is really like. so basically, it comes from the fact that we have minds that are relatively unable to accept or understand so little about what we witness. so we call it death. it is actually a birth. imagine when a woman is pregnant, and we on the outside of the womb can see visible, viable LIFE inside her, and we can touch it and love it and wait for it and be excited about it.... the fetus, though, lives in a dark and cramped world knowing nothing about what it will soon be born in to. this analogy really helped me when my dad died last month. yes, we are left to grieve; that's a whole different subject. we call what my dad experienced 'death', as we know it. but he was born to a world he never could have imagined, with so many waiting for him and cheering at his arrival. lose someone that close to you and try not to believe, that's all i'm saying. and please, please, please, whatever you do, don't believe whoever that is that wants you to think you will have eternity to feel guilty for your beliefs in hell. someone fed that information to them, and hell is a concept born out of fear and distrust, and is meant to maintain these levels of fear and distrust. how else would they keep all their followers if everyone opened their eyes one day and said "oh my god, there IS no hell! this is great! i don't have to spend the rest of my life fearing it!" what a free feeling...
believe what you want to believe, but know that believing includes a healthy amount of skepticism. i know my dad and i can't speak to each other anymore, but i also know he's never far.

Answer 7

I totally believe in life after death! I actually think that i was either a dear or a horse in my past life. it is crazy i know, but that is how i feel.
and i believe that we call it death, because the one body form dies off, but the soul and spirit and all that happy stuff, goes into another body that is forming. Like they say that one person dies and another is born. well, kinda like that.
but again, this is what i believe and i can only base it on my opionoins. but again, this is what i believe.

Answer 8

I don't believe in life after death because once you are deceased you're obviuosly no longer living. However i do believe that there is EXISTENCE afer death. Say maybe existence of your soul but you are not having another life, it's more like you're in spirt world

Wayne, I went to extreme college in the Seventies and that i had a spectacular Agnostic instructor who refused to flow to any non secular suitable assemblies and asked to be allowed to furnish a study corridor for people who chosen to no longer attend them. He became very vibrant and that i found out very plenty from him at that factor. I felt like he had an exciting attitude and allowed me to question him and questioned me in the approach so as that i might initiate thinking overtly approximately my ideals. I attended 5 diverse colleges around our state and had somewhat some great instructors who did the comparable form of thinking. i got here upon it quite enlightening even nonetheless I later desperate to grow to be a Christian. Being open-minded and thinking would not recommend which you undertake someones perspectives. It ability which you're open sufficient to hearken to and think of roughly what others say without judging them for those strategies. i'm grateful to have been uncovered to this at that factor. I even have self assurance that a guy or woman can call me slender-minded without being so them-self. i'm quite slender-minded at circumstances. Have a great night and a spectacular week. thank you, Eds .
