What happens to your spirit and soul when you die?

Question

People say "Died and gone to heaven, but how accurate is that?" When the bible says that we have to wait for Judgement day. I know that the physical body is dead, but what happens to the soul and spirit...what is the difference between the two?

Answer 1

I think the question is.
Is there a soul after u die??????

Did anyone saw a soul or is there any evidence that a soul exists after a person dies.

Answer 2

It depends upon how you lived your life on Earth. If you were saved, you go to a place called Paradise. If not, you await judgment in a place called Torments. After the Rapture, Tribulation, Armageddon and the Second Coming/Millennial Kingdom, you go to either Heaven or Hell.

Answer 3

When you die your soul goes before God and is judged accourding to the Law, if you disobeyed His law then they go to hell, if not then you go to heaven, but sense no one has ever obeyed the Law fully, who can go to heaven? no one, unless some one takes their place in judgement, only one person has ever done this, because only one person was without sin, that one person is Jesus Christ, He died on the cross and rose from the grave on the third day, so if you accept His gift of sacrfice then you will go to heaven and will await the day that God makes the earth new and you then get a new body and live in the kingdom of God for ever and ever, Amen!

Answer 4

Our time and Gods time is totally different.....It says in the Bible that we sleep until Judgement....It also says that it is appointed for a man first to die and then comes the Judgement. So i think that everything stays in tact with our flesh until then.....

Answer 5

Jesus talked of the wedding between the two, though he didn't use those words. You must have a seamless garment and the energy ( oil in lamps ) to do it. So you have to be pure to be the bride (soul is feminine) of Christ (masculine). It might help to read Jesus' parables about it to get clues

Answer 6

Soul: the person or animal, or the life of that person or animal.

Genesis 2:7: "And Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul"

Genesis 1:20: "And God went on to say: “Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls and let flying creatures fly over the earth upon the face of the expanse of the heavens"

Spirit:Definition: The Hebrew word ru′ach and the Greek pneu′ma, which are often translated “spirit,” have a number of meanings. All of them refer to that which is invisible to human sight and which gives evidence of force in motion. The Hebrew and Greek words are used with reference to (1) wind, (2) the active life-force in earthly creatures, (3) the impelling force that issues from a person’s figurative heart and that causes him to say and do things in a certain way, ...

Is there a spirit part of man that survives the death of the body?

Ezek. 18:4: “The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.” (RS, NE, KJ, and Dy all render the Hebrew word ne′phesh in this verse as “soul,” thus saying that it is the soul that dies. Some translations that render ne′phesh as “soul” in other passages use the expression “the man” or “the one” in this verse. So, the ne′phesh, the soul, is the person, not an immaterial part of him that survives when his body dies.) (See the main heading “Soul” for further details.)

Ps. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.” (The Hebrew word here translated “spirit” is a derivative of ru′ach. Some translators render it “breath.” When that ru′ach, or active life-force, leaves the body, the person’s thoughts perish; they do not continue in another realm.)

Eccl. 3:19-21: “There is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit, so that there is no superiority of the man over the beast, for everything is vanity. All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust. Who is there knowing the spirit of the sons of mankind, whether it is ascending upward; and the spirit of the beast, whether it is descending downward to the earth?” (Because of the inheritance of sin and death from Adam, humans all die and return to the dust, as animals do. But does each human have a spirit that goes on living as an intelligent personality after it ceases to function in the body? No; verse 19 answers that humans and beasts “all have but one spirit.” Based merely on human observation, no one can authoritatively answer the question raised in verse 21 regarding the spirit. But God’s Word answers that there is nothing that humans have as a result of birth that gives them superiority over beasts when they die. However, because of God’s merciful provision through Christ, the prospect of living forever has been opened up to humans who exercise faith, but not to animals. For many of mankind, that will be made possible by resurrection, when active life-force from God will invigorate them again.)

Luke 23:46: “Jesus called with a loud voice and said: ‘Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit [Greek, pneu′ma′].’ When he had said this, he expired.” (Notice that Jesus expired. When his spirit went out he was not on his way to heaven. Not until the third day from this was Jesus resurrected from the dead. Then, as Acts 1:3, 9 shows, it was 40 more days before he ascended to heaven. So, what is the meaning of what Jesus said at the time of his death? He was saying that he knew that, when he died, his future life prospects rested entirely with God. For further comments regarding the ‘spirit that returns to God,’

Answer 7

Assuming you're open to other interpretations besides the strictly Christian: Your consciousness and sentience dies with your body. Your essence goes into other things around you; your memory, as previously said, remains with people that know you, as do whatever changes you've made in the world while alive.

Answer 8

The Bible says the dead are merely "sleeping" awaiting the judgment day.

Answer 9

Nothing. Souls and spirits are not real.

Answer 10

you become a memory for those that knew you. it's up to you to determine if those memories are positive or negative. the rest is all fantasy.
