An afterlife question?

Question

Do you think it's kind of arrogant for some people to claim to know exactly what happens to people after their Earthly lives end? Because I sort of do---and I don't care if it's a fundie saying that they definitely know it's either Heaven or scorching Hellfire, a die-hard atheist saying that you definitely just rot away and cease to exist forever, someone else saying that it's definitely reincarnation, or whatever else there is.

How can anyone claim to have this sort of knowledge...and have it with the precision and accuracy that some say they do?

Answer 1

yes there is a after life. i have been able to see things since i was a kid. thinks that would make your but pucker. you get a choice after life to move on, go back or wonder. most of the time the person doesnt hang out at the cemetary unless they are really tied down to the body. most of the time people that have passed can talk to you in you dreams because that is when your at rest and mostly not distracted. O dont mess with ouija board the demons love it.

Answer 2

There is no proof of any kind that there is another life after death.

No religion is not proof at all. If there is life after death for humans then there has to be for all living things as well. I mean all even the blde of grass.

It is only religion that claims after life. Religion is a creation of man to control man through fear. Yes they all use fear to teach. I sure do not think that is needed now that many are reasonably educated and should be able to figure out a few things for tem selves.

I died a while back for just a little while and there was no great happening attached to it. just nothing. Yes it is true. My heart stopped and caused me to have an accident that must have started the heart again. Strange I know but that is what the doctors sid. I was brused from head to foot. Remember absolutely nothing.

I do not belive there is anything after death for us. It is for the living to remeber us to keep us alive in a way.

Answer 3

Not one living person can have that knowledge and that is a fact. Although, there are some who have had a tiny little peek of the afterlife. I happen to be one of those people and I have been a born again Christian ever since. I was in a coma for 5 weeks and believe what you will, God is real and so is Jesus. I'm not saying for you to believe although I sure wish you would. God loves you and that's a fact. God isn't causing you to do anything nor is He causing you not to do anything. What you do is your decision and yours only. He gave you that power over your life. What you do with it is completely your doing. In the end you will not be able to say that anyone or anything had caused you to do what you did. It's all you and you alone. This is why you will answer for what you do. If you receive His forgiveness, you will go in with a clean slate because you accepted Him as your personal Savior. He is the Messiah. He is God Almighty.

Answer 4

I believe you can have this kind of knowledge by what the Scriptures tell us. It is written "It is appointed for man to die, after that the judgment." We were created to glorify God. Period. I believe that we are living a test and we are either going to pass or fail. The Word has been provided so that you can know with precision and accuracy if you have faith and trust. However, you have a freewill to believe or not believe. God does not force himself on anybody. The ball is in your court. I'd rather believe that God is who He says He while I am living, and find out it wasn't true after I die, rather than reject Him while I am living and find out after death that it was true. I encourage you to seek and find while you still can. The worst part of Hell is that you are forever separated from God. This is the true torment.

Answer 5

Arrogance is a demand: "I want it thus!"

Knowledge is (born of) a release: "I know nothing...please teach me."

Arrogance cannot see clearly because it is too busy looking at itself, and ignoring anything that does not fit in with its "understanding".

Knowledge makes no claims, only stretches forever beneath our insistence to have it our own way; knowledge never tries to convince anyone of anything, because it knows everyone has and is, the same.

We do not "have" knowledge as much as we seek it, and the more we get out of our own way, the more we find.

Answer 6

"It has been estimated that in the last 50,000 years about 106 billion humans were born. Of the 100 billion people born before the six billion living today, every one of them has died and not one has returned to confirm for us beyond a reasonable doubt that there is life after death. "
Michael Shermer

Answer 7

Because some people believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. The Bible teaches us these things because:

John 17:3; "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."

All the answers are in the Bible. If one truly wants to know and one truly wants to please God, accurate knowledge can be gained.

Answer 8

We know because we have the recorded testimony of someone with authority. He provided it by dying and coming back to life.

Answer 9

let me explain to you from someone that God showed him the truth.

at first, you are muslim (not believing yet) but just muslim who surrounder to God, you still have some doubts and questions regarding your faith.

Second, comes Mu'min (believer), at this stage God put it in ur heart, i know it's weird to believe what i am saying, but God put in ur heart secure and believe, no more doubts .

third, Mowken (believing for sure), this is like someone who went to Hell and paradise and came back to earth again. at this stage, God show this believer things that others don't know.

Answer 10

You only need the first sentence. "God" says that no man can know what is after-death. Anyone who claims to know is lying.
