What Happen When We Die? What do you think?

Question

If you believe in non-existance after death, you believe in a contridiction.

If our earthly live takes place in the universe how can we not exist after we die? By definition the Universe is the totality of all things in existance. It has no shape, no center, no beginning nor end. It is describe in scientific terms as infinte and formless (sounds like something else I know).

For one to die and then go to a place of non-existance there would have to be "something" to experience non-existance, and report back to existance to say non-existance exist. For "something" to be in a place of "nothingness" contridicts itself, because that "something" denotes existance in a place of nothing.

There is only Allness. Science has confirmed that there isn't a such thing as a "nothingness." Because the Universe, being infinte, includes all things within it, There isn't one thing that exists then not exist. Infinity includes any or all total possibiities. "Nothing" is impossible

Answer 1

There are many Scriptures that help us to see what happens to us when we die.
Animals and people experience the same thing as stated at Ecclesiates 3:19,20--"For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again."
Psalm 146:4--"His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish."
Eccl 9:5--"For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten." (This means that people still living cannot help those who die,they cannot reward them and eventually the memory of those who die are forgotten. They are not forgotten by God though for he holds all those who die in his memory and soon all will be resurrected back to life. The fact that we do not dwell on those who die is helpful so that death is not something thought about constantly, for if that were to happen, who could stand the pain of losing loved ones? God helps us to cope with our sadness this way. )
Eccl 9:10--"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."(This also helps us to see that the dead feel neither pain nor pleasure)
Death is likened to being asleep. Psalm 13:3--"Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death."
Because of Jesus sacrificing his life for us, death is a temporary condition and those who are now sleeping in death will be brought back to life here on earth. Jesus himself will do this-- "I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. "Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out—"(John 5:25-29) NIV
I hope this helps you to see what the Bible teaches us regarding death.

Answer 2

Genesis 3:19; - for dust you are and to dust you will return
Eccelesiastes 9:5,10 - dead are conscious of nothing at all
Ps 146:4 - his spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground, in that day his thoughts do perish
John 11 - Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep
Ezekiel 18:4 - The soul (man, person - depending on which version you are reading) that is sinning, it itself will die.

Answer 3

What you are saying is true - not as the primary reason we will continue after this life, but because we first were created by God as body, mind and spirit.. When our bodies wear out our spirits continue.
Because of our rebellion against God we have to have reconciliation through Jesus in order to spend eternity with him, as we are unable to pay the price ourselves and will otherwise spend eternity with the liar who has deceived us.

Answer 4

Our bodies die, but the atoms that make up our bodies will exist forever. That does not mean our conscience will live on forever too.

Answer 5

you never know because no one dead has ever came back and told us whats on the other side but "I" definately believe that there's a god out there

Answer 6

I believe you either go to hell or heaven when you die. Heaven if your saved, and hell if you are not saved.
