what do you think happens after death?

Answer 1

You move into the spirit world, usually after approx 4-5 days. You do have the option to return, or stay in the spirit.

Answer 2

I don't know and I am okay with it. I think its one of those adventures we get when the time comes. I don't believe in the Heaven and Hell concepts and pretty much everything about religions sounds like it was made up by humans to me. I do know this much, we break down into our constituent molecules of carbon and nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen which then can be recycled or incorporated into other life forms. In this sense at least reincarnation is true. Energy is neither created nor destroyed by transformed. Also, our genetic code lives on in any offspring we have and in the memories of those we knew. If it turns out there is nothing after this life we won't be aware of it to be upset about and if there is its a bonus.

Answer 3

Typically a coroner will examine your body and possibly sanction an autopsy. From there on your remains will either be prepared for burial or cremated along with the remains of about a half dozen other people in the same furnace, the ash of all of these bodies being divided between the families.

There follows a short service where people gather and talk about you, then your belongings are divided between your family and the government takes a healthy cut of any money you gave away.

All of this being completely irrelevant to you because, of course, you are dead, and no longer exist in any material or autonomous sense.

Answer 4

I don't know why so many people are obssessed about what's going to happen after death, we should be more concerned about how and what we are doing while we are alive. A little compassion and a lot of love will go a long way!

Answer 5

After the death of this body you go on in a different dimension. You choose if you want to return or not. Personally I won't choose to return next time round, this world's in too much trouble to bother coming back again.

Answer 6

After you've left your body, gone down the tunnel (documented) you meet up with all those wanting to see you, your spirit feels calm and peaceful. For a while you can "watch" your loved ones and help if they are receptive. then you retreat further into your peaceful existence, however should those you left really need you you can still help, people call the help things like inspiration and inner strength. Sometimes you can be called back at a seance or by a medium, but I don't think they are necessary

Answer 7

Simple question with an easy answer for all but the fearful and insecure.

Cognitive thought, memory, sight, etc., cannot exist without functioning neurons, without a living brain.

So death is simply the end of one's personal existence. The rest of the universe will keep going along, for trillions of years.

Answer 8

There is no soul sleep of the righteous. Only the damned sleep in their graves. Those that have died in Christ now reside in heaven.

The spiritual bodies of the righteous will result from the joining of their heavenly natures with their resurrected bodies at the second coming of Christ at the final judgment.

Those that are damned will awake from their sleep to be judged and join Satan in their separation from God in Hell.

How do I know where I will end up?

If you adopt a Calvinist approach to the Scriptures, the answer is quite satisfying. God's elect were chosen before the world began, and the elect will be gathered by God. The elect will not be able to resist God's grace.

In short, the whole notion of John 3:16 only applies to those God has foreordained to be saved. This means that Christ did not come to save everyone, only the elect chosen by God on whom he decided to have mercy. The five principles of Calvinism are easily remembered by the acronym, TULIP: Total depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, Perseverance of the saints.

So how does one know if he or she is one of the elect? We don't! Instead we are urged to keep God's commandments, live righteous lives seeking to please God, and pray continuously that His mercy falls upon us as one of His elect.

Some may say that a Calvinistic theology is unfair. But the counter to this is that God will have mercy on whom He will have mercy. That is His right as the Creator of everything. "Shall the pot say to the potter, why have you made me thus?"

Answer 9

Whatever is going to happen after death cannot be appropriately anticipated by anybody.It is an experience, nobody can escape.

Answer 10

If you are a child of God, you go to heaven. If you are not a child of God, you go to hell. And since hell was not created for mankind. Men are intruders into hell. Hell was prepard for the devil and his angels. Luke 16:19 tells us about a rich man that died and went to hell. It is a place of torment and fire.
I John tells us how we can escape this place. And if God is drawing you John 6:44) I wouldn't put if off. Hebrews 9:27 says "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" After we die we do not become ghosts and linger on earth as some say.
