What do you think really happens when you die?

Question

I have been really wondering a lot lately about what happends when you die. Some people think you go to heaven or hell. Others think its just over and thats it, nothing else. Others believe in reincarnation. Some believe in a lot of different things. What do you think happends to you when you die?

Answer 1

You stop living. There is no afterlife. All life is no different in this respect. Sparrows, fleas, cats, elephants. Even philodendron, bacteria, and seaweed.

Your body becomes nothing more than a bag of biochemical goo and bones. But those chemicals will revert to the place from whence they came.

Answer 2

When you were born your spirit was lit and awakened. During your life if you followed the true teachings of Jesus or the other masters of life like Buddha, you learned to brighten your light. Loving thy neighbor, following the Golden rule(that is surprisingly found in religions all over the world), helping those who need help and keeping a charitable heart, all increase the light(aura) of your soul.
When you die your soul will join the Holy Spirit (collective Spirit)
It is dependent upon you whether you add significantly or scantily to the collective.

Answer 3

Can only tell you what Jesus said:

Jesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors. Lazarus was not being reborn as another human. He was at rest in death, as though in a deep sleep without dreams. Other scriptures also compare death to sleep. For example, when the disciple Stephen was stoned to death, the Bible says that he “fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60) Similarly, the apostle Paul wrote about some in his day who had “fallen asleep” in death.


The Bible teaches that the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” They are not alive and have no conscious existence anywhere. The account of Lazarus confirms this. Upon returning to life, did Lazarus thrill people with descriptions of heaven? Or did he terrify them with horrible tales about a burning hell? No. The Bible contains no such words from Lazarus. During the four days that he was dead, he had been “conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Lazarus had simply been sleeping in death. John 11:11.
The account of Lazarus also teaches us that the resurrection is a reality, not a mere myth. Jesus raised Lazarus in front of a crowd of eyewitnesses. Even the religious leaders, who hated Jesus, did not deny this miracle.

Think about this too: If Lazarus had been in heaven for those four days, would he not have said something about it? And if he had been in heaven, would Jesus have made him come back to earth from that wonderful place? Of course not!

Yet, many people say that we have a soul, and they say that the soul lives on after the body dies. They say that Lazarus’ soul was alive somewhere. But the Bible does not say that. It says that God made the first man Adam “a living soul.” Gen. 2:7, Adam was a soul. The Bible also says that when Adam sinned, he died. He became a “dead soul,” and he returned to the dust from which he had been made. The Bible also says that all Adam’s offspring inherited sin and death too.

The Scriptural teaching of the resurrection, however, is not compatible with the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. If an immortal soul survived death, no one would need to be resurrected, or brought back to life. Indeed, Martha expressed no thought about an immortal soul that was living on elsewhere after death. She did not believe that Lazarus had already gone to some spirit realm to continue his existence. On the contrary, she showed her faith in God’s purpose to reverse the effects of death. She said: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:23, 24) Likewise, Lazarus himself related no experiences of some afterlife. There was nothing to report.

Clearly, according to the Bible, the soul dies and the remedy for death is the resurrection. You enjoy the best sleep ever, until Jesus resurrects you, sometime in the future.

Answer 4

Good question, reincarnation of energy makes the most sense as a possible afterlife. I certainly do not believe in a creator who has made an eternal soul lottery, leaving no evidence of the right religion, pointing all evidence against against organized religion, and sending all those who choose the wrong religion to eternal suffering.... Most probably we just cease to exist.

Answer 5

I've explained this a lot lately. Jesus parable explains well. The soul which is what we are is grown like a fruit when ripe falls of the tree death,physical. The Holly spirit enters Christians as a councilor/guide when a person excepts Christ. The spirit entwines itself in our soul. He becomes a part of us but is a separate entity if you will. a good guy. At death or separation from flesh, weeds are gathered and placed in hell, hades, death, fallen angels are placed in abyss or bottomless pit, Their is another place called sea of life were people rest in state of slumber. At final judgment souls arise from these places for judgment , death and hades are are thrown into Lake of Fire magnifying pain. Books are open and souls judged those found wanting to everlasting damnation, those that are saved to everlasting paradise. Fallen Angels and infirm spirits to Lake of Fire..

Answer 6

The Right to Enter Paradise

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)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

Answer 7

You go to sleep and wait for Jesus to come and wake you. Some people will be waken up and some of them will sleep forever. So all you people out there that like to insult God or Jesus, start thinking if you want to be awaken in a blessed and loving world or you want to stay sleeping in complete darkness for the rest of your eternity.

Answer 8

The best empirical evidence I've seen suggests reincarnation, for some people at least.

Answer 9

Your body is in a deep slumber. Your soul is either in heaven or hell. Upon the time of the Great White Throne Judgment... your body will join your soul for the last time. Where will your soul be waiting?

Answer 10

YOUR SOUL IS YOU

Souls created, souls born, souls resurrected to salvation.

Gen.2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

JESUS LETS US SEE [ and him Acts 2:27-31 ];

Luke 8:50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. 52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
Heb.9:27; It is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgement.
1Cor.15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But
every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's
at his coming. 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy
that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Acts17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in
righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. 24:15 Resurrection of just and the unjust.
John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: John for I
came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Spirit of God is life of soul, spirit belongs to God, all else can be dust to dust.
