Answer 1

ask someone who is dead

Answer 2

There are many problems with the salvation-by works doctrine of reincarnation. First, there are many practical problems. For example:
1. We must ask, why does one get punished for something he or she cannot remember having done in a previous life?
2. If the purpose of karma is to rid humanity of its selfish desires, then why hasn't there been a noticeable improvement in human nature after all the millennia of reincarnations?
3. If reincarnation and the law of karma are so beneficial on a practical level, then how do advocates of this doctrine explain the immense and ever-worsening social and economic problems - including widespread poverty, starvation, disease, and horrible suffering - in India, where reincarnation has been systematically taught through out its history?
There are also many biblical problems with believing in reincarnation. For example, in 2 Corinthians 5:8 the apostle Paul states, "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." At death, the, the Christian immediately goes into the presence of the Lord, not into another body. In keeping with this. Luke 16:19-31 tells us that unbelievers at death go to a place of suffering, not into another body.
Further, Hebrews 9:27 assures us that "man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." Each human being LIVES ONCE as a mortal on earth, DIES ONCE, and then FACES JUDGMENT. He does not have a second chance by reincarnating into another body.

Answer 3

Most likely, your mother is speaking of Reincarnation, a popular Buddhist philosophy. The belief of Reincarnation is that when someone dies, they will reincarnate, or be born again, as another being, depending on how they behaved during their previous life, or their "Karma". For example, a ruthless murderer might reincarnate as a snail. So I suppose you would not know you were dead if you died.

One other viewpoint is the Christian perspective, in that when you die, your soul lays dorment until judgement day, on which all souls are either granted entrance into Heaven, or sentenced to eternity in Hell. In this case, you would probably know if you were dead.

Answer 4

I think that if you die of natural causes, then you can go peacefully, but if you are taken before your time, you may be somewhat unsure about where you are supposed to be. If you happen to be reincarnated (as you mother believes) that wouldn't be so bad at all, then maybe you could make up for the things you would have liked to have done different in this lifetime. In any case, as long as you try to do right and not intentionally harm anyone or anything, I don't think there is anything to worry about.

Answer 5

Lol not too sure it is really possible to know. I mean if you want to look at it from the point of view like on the 6th sense, maybe you don't know you are dead lol. But I'm catholic so I believe in eternal life waiting for me in heaven so... it basically just depends on what your beliefs are as to whether or not you believe you can be reincarnated and life a life again until you can be liberated from life on earth. For example, I believe it is the Hidus that believe they are reincarnated over and over any their next life depends on how they lived their previous life and until they can reach moksha which is liberation from samsaura which is the cycle of many lives, they will continue to grow old, die, and be reborn.

If there isn't something waiting for us after life, what is the point of life then?

Answer 6

Some of the Eastern religions include a belief in reincarnation (the idea that after you die you are born on Earth all over again), but the major monotheistic religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam) do not.

In the Christian worldview, this life is a one-way trip, and after death, we face God, and our ultimate choice in life -- for God and goodness, or against them -- is revealed as our personal final judgment.

Look up C.S. Lewis' little novel "The Great Divorce"; you may have heard of him, because he wrote the Narnia stories. In this book, which is a sort of fantasy tale for grown-ups, he rides with a bus-load of people traveling from Hell to Heaven. They meet people already there, glorious people who encourage them to stay, but some of the visitors can't stand it there and they run back.

Answer 7

Excuse me for being so blunt... but your mother is badly mistaken.

When you die, you will know nothing; and therefore, you are correct to believe that you won't know you are dead.

After death is just like before birth - do you remember anything at all from that time of your personal non-existence? And, don't buy that BS about your soul living on after you die.... There is no evidence to suggest that there even is such a thing as a soul - it's a complete fantasy.

Answer 8

its partialy true! some people that are NOT born again or baptized dont know they are dead till the resurrection. Others have OBE's all the time and know that they have spirits.
I stopped breathing one day and walked into the next room saw what looked like an angel and went back to lay down on my bed.
i didnt know ihad stopped breathing until tha ttime.
but this amount of time only lasts a little time after awhile all people recognize they are dead.

Answer 9

Check out Ecclesiastes 9:5.

Answer 10

When you die, you cease to have any awareness or existence as a self. You become, for all intents and purposes, a skin-bag full of bones and chemical goo. That's all. There's no reason to fear death, because it just means you stop suffering. There may, however, be reason to fear the dying process, because often there is pain, both for you and your loved ones.

Answer 11

When you die; you're dead. Nothing happens to you any more. Ever.

Remember before you were born? It's exactly like that. You don't exist.

This scares some people so much they make up stories about how it doesn't really happen. We call these stories 'religion'. Christianity is based around one of those stories.
