What happens after death? Is there a life after death? If yes, do we remember the past? Is there previous birt

Answer 1

We're buried in the ground to feed the worms and thats about it really.

Answer 2

Yes, there is a life after death. Only the essence of what we've learnt remains. That is why we see some people who have abilities at a very young age. This is brought from previous lifetimes.

Answer 3

As a Buddhist we believe that after the physical body dies, your mind goes through a thing which we call the "bardo" before you take rebirth or attain enlightenment, depending on how your karma is and how you've trained your mind, etc. It's a confusing thing and depending on the condition of your mind at the time (angry, upset, grasping and attachments, etc.) depends on how you'll "journey" it and what kind of rebirth you'll take.

We believe that there are deva realms (like gods and goddesses but are not omnipotent), hell realms, animal rebirths... and so on, which you take rebirth in or not according, again, to your mental state at death and your karmic imprints.

Some people successfully remember a past life/lives, usually when they're very young, then lose the memories as they age in the present life, since as we grow the mind gets more and more imprints on it from this life... some people also can cultivate enough altruism and wisdom to see what we call "emptiness" (not nihilistic nothingness) in this life and can see past and future lives and how many more lives you'll live before you become a buddha ("awakened one").

We don't believe in linear time outside of this samsaric use of it, so you can take rebirth in another time, another universe, etc.

Hope this helps

Answer 5

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)

Yes. The Thessalonian Christians were apparently very concerned about their Christian loved ones who had died. They expressed their concern to the apostle Paul. So, in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, Paul deals with the "dead in Christ" and assures the Thessalonian Christians that there will indeed be a reunion. And yes, believers will recognize their loved ones in the eternal state.
We are told in 2 Samuel 12:23 that David knew he would be reunited with his deceased son in heaven. He had no doubt about recognizing him. As well when Moses and Elijah (who had long passed from earthly life) appeared to Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration (Mat 17:1-8), they were recognized by all who were present. Furthermore, in Jesus' story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31, the rich man, Lazarus, and Abraham were all recognized by each other in the intermediate state.

Answer 6

everyone is going to exist after death the question is where will people exist. some will be in a state of total separation from god in pain and torment and complete darkness and weeping for their sins and not having the savior Jesus Christ. or an eternity in paradise, there has been speculation on this because of a couple verses in scriptures but i tend to lean towards the fact that will be not have any rememberance of any painful experiences while in hell you will have all memories of painful experiences that burn like fire, and thus what I believe to be the symbolic meaning of lake of fire. We will really never know until we get to heaven, whether we do or not I dont really care, it is eternity in heaven.

Answer 7

Yes, of course there is life after death. Can the Creator of the heavens and the earth and everything that one can see and not see, have not the ability to give life to the old bones that exists in the graves? Of course He does... Can you remember, that you nothing, He created you from sperm drop and brought you into a being. Praise be to one who created us, and will created us again.

Answer 8

Nothing. That's why its called death.

Don't you understand that your conception of self is based on your consciousness which arises from your body?

Answer 10

i don't see why there needs to be another life, or why anybody would WANT to live for eternity, i get tired enough as it is, why would I want to do it again and again and again until time disintegrates?
