what happens when we die?

Question

plz tell me what you think happens when you die

Answer 1

We still go to heaven, see you there - GBU

Answer 2

Well either something or nothing. Depends on if you subscribe to religion.

If everyone believed that nothing happened it would get pretty chaotic with everyone doing what ever they pleased with no repercussions in an afterlife.

So do we behave to maintain an orderly society or because there really is something. WHO KNOWS?

The play it safe way is plan on something and if you lived your life right that you'll be rewarded. If not and you simply no longer exist in any form-it's not like you are sitting around saying 'darn I don't exist" lol. The more religious folks here will have there take I'm sure that's just my thoughts from my earthly prospective.

Three simple rules:

1 Do your best

2 Do what you believe in your heart is right.

3. Treat others as you wish to be treated.

You may never really know -but you really can't go wrong trying the above

Answer 3

For organic death, the unbelievers have the answer. [decay]
Your spirit is released. Then the judgment.

Just as it is destined that each person dies only once and after that comes judgment, so also Christ died only once as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again but not to deal with our sins again. This time he will bring salvation to all those who are eagerly waiting for him.
Hebrews 9:27,28

The body is the "world-consciousness," the soul is the "self-consciousness," and the spirit is the "God-consciousness." There are five organs in the body which afford man the five senses. This physical body enables man to communicate with the physical world. This is why it is called the "world- consciousness." The soul comprises that part in man known as the intellect, which makes man's existence possible. The part of love generates affections toward other human beings or objects. Affections originate from the senses. All these are parts of man himself; they form the personality of man. Hence, they are called the "self-consciousness." The spirit is the part with which man communicates with God. With this part man worships God, serves Him, and understands his relationship with God. Hence, it is called "God-consciousness." Just as God dwells in the spirit, the self dwells in the soul, and the senses dwell in the body.

The soul is the meeting point; here the spirit and the body join. Man communicates with God's Spirit and the spiritual realm through the spirit and receives and expresses power and life in the spiritual realm through this spirit. He communicates with the outside world of senses through the body; the world and the body interact with one another. The soul lies in between these two worlds and belongs to these two worlds. On the one hand, it communicates with the spiritual realm through the spirit, and on the other hand, it communicates with the physical world through the body. The soul has the power of self-determination; it can make decisions concerning the things related to it in the environment and can choose or reject them. It is impossible for the spirit to control the body directly; it requires a medium. This medium is the soul, which was produced when the spirit touched the body. The soul is in between the spirit and the body; it binds the spirit and the body together as one. The spirit can rule over the body through the soul and subject it under God's power. The body can also induce the spirit through the soul to love the world.

Among the three elements of man, the spirit is joined to God and is the highest. The body is in contact with the material world and is the lowest. In between the two is the soul. It takes as its nature the nature of the other two. As such it becomes the linkage of the other two parts. Through the soul the two parts can fellowship with each other and can work together. The function of the soul is to maintain the spirit and the body in their proper order so that they will not lose their proper relationship with one another. In this way, the body, which is the lowest, will submit to the spirit, and the spirit, which is the highest, will be able to control the body through the soul. The soul is indeed the chief element in man. The soul looks to the spirit for the supply which the latter has received from the Holy Spirit and communicates to the body what it has received so that the body may partake of the perfection of the Holy Spirit and become a spiritual body.

Man's spirit is the noblest part of man; it dwells in man's innermost part. The body is the lowest and remains outside. The soul dwells between the spirit and the body and is the medium of the two. The body is the outer shell of the soul, while the soul is the outer shell of the spirit. When the spirit tries to control the body, it has to do so with the help of the intermediary soul. Before man fell, it was the spirit (through the soul) that controlled the whole being. When the spirit wanted to do something, it communicated to the soul, and the soul activated the body to follow the order of the spirit. This is what it means for the soul to be the medium.

The soul is potentially the strongest part because both the spirit and the body are incorporated into it, take it as their personality, and are affected by it. But in the beginning, man had not sinned, and the power of the soul was fully under the control of the spirit. Hence, the power of the soul was the power of the spirit. The spirit could not drive the body by itself; it had to do so through the soul. We can see this from Luke 1:46-47: "My soul magnifies [present tense] the Lord, and my spirit has exulted [perfect tense] in God my Savior." Here we see the change in tense according to the original language, which indicates that the spirit must first exult before the soul can magnify the Lord. The spirit first communicates the exultation to the soul, then the soul expresses this exultation through the organs of the body.

In conclusion, the soul is the seat of personality; man's will, intellect, and emotion all lie in the soul. The spirit is the part with which man communicates with the spiritual realm. The body is the part with which man communicates with the physical realm. The soul is in the middle of these two parts. It exercises its judgment to determine if the spiritual realm is to rule or if the physical realm is to rule. Sometimes the soul rules through its intellect and senses; when that happens, the psychological world rules. Unless the soul yields its rule to the spirit, the spirit cannot rule. Hence, the soul has to authorize the spirit to rule before the latter can rule over the soul and the whole body. The reason for this is that the soul is the origin of man's personality.

The soul is the master of a person because man's will is part of the soul. When the spirit controls the whole being, it is because the soul has yielded itself and has taken a lower position. If the soul rebels, the spirit will not have the power to control it. This is the meaning of "free will" in man. Man has the absolute right to make his own decisions. He is not a machine which turns according to God's will. He has his own faculty of deliberation. He can choose to obey God's will, and he can choose to oppose God's will and to follow the devil's will. According to God's arrangement, the spirit should be the highest part and should control the whole being. Yet the main part of man's personality, the will, is of the soul. Man's will (soul) has the power to choose to let the spirit rule, to let the body rule, or to let the self rule. Because the soul is so powerful, the Bible calls it "a living soul."

Answer 4

"But in eternity there is no past or future; there is simply one great present moment. Therefore, the events we experience in eternity are never anything we have to wait for, they are always what we are ready for, what we are spiritually prepared for. This passage says that God has been spiritually preparing us for something, the coming of the Lord for his own, the return of Christ for his church, for each individual believer. The Scriptures clearly teach that when a believer dies, he experiences immediately the coming of the Lord for his own. Paul describes that event in 1 Thessalonians 4:16: "the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God" xjv. With him will come all those who have been dead in Christ. Thus it will appear to those left alive on earth that the dead have been raised first when in actuality we are all raised together, "and so shall we ever be with the Lord." This experience awaits us immediately."

Answer 5

I go for reincarnation personally - to me it's logical that whatever created the universe did so with an finite number of atoms and stuff, and isn't likely to be messing around putting new ones in here and there! Think about it... Millions of years ago there were millions of dinosaurs composed of massive amounts of atoms. Now there are billions of humans composed of lesser amounts of atoms. You see, the basic amount of atoms remains the same...? Heaven? Is as illogical a concept as you can get, at least to my way of thinking...

Answer 6

"It is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment" (Hebrews 9:27)

"Truly, truly I say to you, he who hears My word (Jesus Christ speaking), and believes in Him who sent Me (God the Father), has eternal life, and DOES NOT COME INTO JUDGMENT, but has passed out of death into life" (John 5:24)

"Jesus said to her " I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies; and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25,26)

"And I saw a great white throne...and I saw the dead, the great and the small standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened which is the BOOK OF LIFE; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds...and if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20-14)
"And I saw a new heavens and a new earth...and He (God) shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall no longer be any death; and there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying or pain; the first things have passed away." (Revelation 21:1-4)

"And the Spirit and the bride say "COME !" and let the one who hears say "Come!", and let the one who is thirsty come, let the one who wishes take of the water of life freely" (Revelation 22:17)

Answer 7

I believe the answer to this question is most importantly spiritual rather than physical. According to the bible there are only 2 places that you go when you die - either to heaven or hell. I believe that I will be in heaven with Jesus when I die, because I am a Christian and I believe in Jesus as my Savior. Please read the following about how to become a Christian and by doing so, you can know without a doubt, where you will go when you die.

1. Believe that Jesus is God's Son, who came to earth as a baby (He was fully human, yet fully God), died on the cross for ours sins (shedding his blood), and rose again the third day. John 3:16 reads, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."

2. Believing all this about Jesus, confess that you have sinned (done wrong). Romans 3:23 reads, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 6:23 reads, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 10:9 reads, "If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

3. You might ask - saved from what? From eternal separation from God - which means that without Jesus as your personal Savior you will spend eternity in hell. We cannot save ourselves, no matter how good we are because we all sin. Jesus is the only way of salvation. John 14:6 reads, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

If you would like to have Jesus as your Savior today, sincerely pray a prayer like this one: "Dear God, I confess to You my sin and need for salvation. I turn away from my sin and place my faith in Jesus as my Savior and Lord. Amen."

You can know without a doubt where you will spend eternity as I do, by having a personal relationship with Jesus, starting today!

Answer 8

Our souls return to the collective consciousness. There parts of our soul return to the living with reincarnation. I don't believe in past lives as then everyone should remember all the lives they have had since the beginning (and we wouldn't have hundreds of Cleopatras and Mark Anthonys running around).

Blessed Be )O(

Answer 9

That sleestack is a creep that cant spell.Any ways that is the biggest mystery in the world but I believe that the day we die is our judgment day and I think that I will go to heaven.Thats just what I think.No one can realy give you a correct answer.

Answer 10

This is what I know to be true. We DON'T go to heaven OR hell because they don't exist. We are reborn after x amount of time, which could be immediately, or after you spend your 1000 years in Purgatory and extra 200 years as a ghost on earth. Or you could be sent to one of the many dimensions and planes of existence. You are to do what the God and the Goddess tell you to do. There is no satan or devil, the name is Lucipher. He's not 100% evil, because there's no pure entity.

Answer 11

Well, when I die, as a follower of Jesus the Christ, I intend to enter heaven. As for others, that depends on if they have made the same choice, or not. Jesus loves us ALL. Give Him a chance, you won't regret it. Merry Christmas.
