If you believe that the real life is after death and forever, then, why we are in this world?

Question

If there is the other life and it is forever, why we have to live in this world first, for a while. Why we are not in the heaven or hell directly.

Answer 1

There are no definite answers just personal beliefs,every faith believes in life after death,I can't ever remember anyone shoving the idea into me as a child it's just an inner feeling that our time on earth is just part of a journey.Faith is just faith (whatever your religion) it does not require analysis or proof .People usually find some kind of inner realisation of this when they lose someone they love,when I lost my sister,I got home from the hospital sat down on the sofa and just out of the blue I had this feeling of calm and happiness flood through me,I think that she was trying to tell me that she was safe and happy.I'd never felt anything like it before ,but it convinced me that there is life after death.

Answer 2

Yes, after we die we live forever. However, eternal life begins right now. You can build things such as relationships, friendships, and love that will last forever in THIS life. This life is only the beginning, kind of a preview of what the next life will be like, but without the suffering. Also you can find heaven on earth, you just have to look for it. There you will find real life, true life, today, and you don't have to wait until you die.

We voluntarily came back to this world , at birth this is forgotten till our return to heaven . I know this sounds very crazy and perhaps it is , but I have reason for thinking this and I'll explain . I once read a book which I highly recommend to those interested in this subject , the name of the book is called " Embraced by the light " by Bettie Eadie . It tells what is billed as her true life after death experience ( she was clinically dead for 48 minutes and came back) . Unlike some other books on the subject , this lady is able to fully describe going to heaven , meeting god and her loved ones in detail . As I read the book it was very interesting and became extremely so after about a fourth of the way through for me . It became more interesting for me when she mentioned the date and time of her experience . On the exact date and on the exact time she claimed her experience happened I was involved in an experience of my own at this same time also . Keep in mind this is reading the book 25 years later for me . At the same instant in time , I was involved in a car - train accident which very nearly claimed my life . Imagine my surprise when the time and date which of course I recognized was the same as my own experience . Though I don't claim to have died and came back , I did experience a feeling as if I was a third party to the situation I was in and seemed to be looking down on the scene from just above as the doctors feverishly worked on me . This is why I give some credence to this idea that may be laughable to some as some kind of joke , but for me it was astounding to say the least . True story for me on this one !

Life is just a millisecond compared to time, and we are just specs of dust compared to the whole universe. When we die, our bodies rot in the ground, but our spirits live on to see the world evolve. But when the universe collapses on our earth...

Well, no one knows.

But to answer your question, we live here because there is no room in heaven for all the generations, once all in the generation die, that generation move on to a new heaven.

I hope I answerd your question.

Answer 5

Because most of us failed so miserably during the first earth age(when we were in spiritual bodies and two thirds of us followed satan instead of God),that God decided that rather than destroy two thirds of His children (who failed) that each of us would be born of woman- in the flesh,and in "innocence" (with no prior recollection of our first habitation) to go through this Earth age and once again be tested to see who would be a repeat offender .Those who follow satan a second time risk the second death (the death of the soul). Those who overcome go into the eternity with God. Read of the death of the soul- Matt. 10:28

Answer 6

this life is also real,,, just as our lifes after this life will be real, whatever they are,,,,,, its like going to school, that is real and what you should focus on,,,, even though later you most likely will be going into the workforce (not staying in school forever),,,,,,,, perhaps the experience we go to after this life will also not be forever,,,,,,

Answer 7

Heaven and hell aren't places. They're experiences. We actually choose which we live in right now here on earth.

Answer 8

I'm not sure if I believe in what you are saying, but if it is true, I believe that we are here now to learn how to live better lives in the future; to teach us morals and how to live life to the fullest.

Answer 9

Nothing lasts forever - There is no such thing as permanent... Therefor, even death itself is momentary.

Answer 10

Life is just part of the journey
