If the word 'death' is taken to mean 'the end of life', then how can one speak of 'life after death'? Linguistically, it poses a huge problem...
Am I alone in thinking this?

Not at all. There is a definite linguistic problem, but I don't know if it's actually possible or not. As an agnostic, I would say... you don't know until you die.
Perhaps.... a reality after death?

It's only the end of your material body, if you don't know a religious meaning to life after death then put this in to account, the body must work with energy of unknown scientific origin, when you die what happens to all that energy? It has to go somewhere, so this is life after death, after all the energy is released from your body it has to go somewhere, it can't just dissipate, it's a form of consciousness outside the body. And from a religious point of view we can say that that energy returns back to the one who created it in the first place. This is life after death.

The level you speak of is "death of the body" You are the life of the body,you lived before you had this body and you will live after it is gone. You are a being of light,spirit,unconditional love, you have unity with God within your own heart in unconditional love,go there & see for your self.I have spoken the truth. Love whistle britches.

I agree thoroughly with you. you may't be professional-existence and professional-warfare mutually. And at the same time as i do not comprehend if there is any such ingredient as "sound reasoning" once you talk about someones existence, i imagine that there must be some very solid emotions about why someone believes they way that they do. Now at the same time as i'm not inevitably adversarial to warfare, i have self belief that this one has gone too far and too lengthy. that's now not a "in simple terms" warfare. Had Bush not invaded Iraq, i ought to nonetheless help what he's doing. in spite of the indisputable fact that, he were given remote from the job reachable and keen to do something else with undesirable intelligence and lies. i have self belief contained in the inability of existence penalty and that i position self belief in a lady's good to settle on. i'm not a huge proponent of abortion, yet i have self belief that it ought to nicely be a legal decision. i wager i position self belief in abortion commonly even if that's performed early contained in the being pregnant. i have self belief contained in the inability of existence penalty because at the same time as it isn't a deterrent, the guy who committed the crime will be punished. The family contributors of the sufferer ought to have some small pride in understanding that the guy who took the existence of their loved one has been punished, in spite of the indisputable fact that if it became extra humane than the homicide he committed.

Life after the death each of us experience makes perfect sense to me.
There could be another life or form or life after the life we're living right now.

It means physical death. Everyone will live forever, but it depends on how you lived your life. If you accept Jesus as your saviour and get saved, you will spend eternity in heaven. If you never accept Jesus as your saviour you'll go to hell, no matter how good of a person you were. You have to be saved to get into heaven.

no your not alone, this very reason is why i use "passed on" instead of death, to refer to the ending of this lifetime on earth
ps: i thinks its very important to realize that our language is not something fixed, it evolves and changes as we do
words like death and illigitamate , just to name a few, are words that you can remove from your vocabulary, or atleast remove their usage that has been common, just keep in mind that others may still use them in the old context.
