I once heard that when you die....?

Question

- and your soul leaves the body ... it is the most painful thing in the world. This kind of makes sense if you think about it ...


has anyone ever heard this ? and do you think its true?

Answer 1

I think that dying is one of the most peaceful experiences that you'll have.

Answer 2

Never heard that before. I guess it depends on how you die...if you have been hurt or have a painful disease, then I am sure that you are going to be already feeling pain. I do know that most people, after dying, seem to have a peaceful look on their faces. Could that be that maybe the actual dying moments is not so painful? Let's hope so. Bottom line is try not to think of such things, the only reality is what is going on in this very moment.....why not embrace it and enjoy it always?

Answer 3

No. The bible plainly teaches that we don't have a soul, we are a soul. When we die, we are conscious of nothing...

Ecclesiastes 9:5 & 10: "For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.10 10 All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She′ol, the place to which you are going. ( She'ol is the common grave of dead mankind)

Ecclesiastes 3:19 & 20: "For 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. 20 All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust,"

Ezekiel 18: 20a: "The soul that is sinning—it itself will die."

Romans 3:23; "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"

As you can tell, there is more to this story, like what hope we really do have, why only a small number of individuals go to heaven, and what God's purpose for the earth and mankind really is...but let me leave you with this last thought...

Psalm 115:16; "As regards the heavens, to Jehovah the heavens belong,
But the earth he has given to the sons of men."

Answer 4

You once heard wrong! When the soul leaves the body it's the most painless thing in the world, what is painful is if at the same time the beans that you ate before dying play games with your bowels and you start bombarding everyone around you...that's the only pain you'll feel. The motto is : "Don't eat beans the day you are scheduled to die."

Answer 5

Please read Ecclesaistes 12:6 and 7--6--"or ever the silver cord be loosed, (you die), or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern,
7--then shall the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it"

There is NO PAIN at death unless you are in a horrible accident and of course you will suffer, BUT Spiritually NO.

Answer 6

My question is who told you this? How can someone relay such a message when they are dead, they can't speak.

I do belive in ghosts and spirts but I do not think they would have a memory of that. I think your body actually goes into like a commatos and it doesn't think or feel at that moment. Until it is decided if you go to heaven or hell.

Hell is supose to be everlasting pain and suffering. I don't think it would be physical though, I think it would be mental like having nightmares every second.

Heaven is supose to be everlasting happiness and I believe that happiness is individual.

so no I don't think when your soul leaves it would be painful.

Answer 7

NO THAT'S NOT TRUE AT ALL WHO SAYS THAT!!!! i'll definitely disagree with that thing, okay we can say death is such a painful thing ON the one we love because were leaving them...but you know death can be the most comfortable experience when were gone, because we cannot feel any suffer any more unless you're looking for a revenge you know ghost of you. you know we can even never know what comes to us when we die...i don't think of dying first, because i want to enjoy the rest of my life...c'mon don't think of those things...because enjoy the lyf to the fullest

Answer 8

It isn't the soul that leaves the body, since the bible says the soul that is sinning , it will die. Indicating the soul and body are the same.
Now the spirit that gives the body life..........It goes back to God when we die. It belongs to him and goes home.

Answer 9

Nope. When you die your synapses stop firing, so there cannot be pain. Pain is just the Brain telling the body that something is very wrong. If the Brain isn't working and the body isn't working, then no pain.

Answer 10

Never heard anything like that before. I can't imagine why it would be painful since the soul is not physical.

Answer 11

Yes. I've also heard that if you are a sinner it takes a long time for it to leave, sometimes upto several hours. If the person is a good person, who is going to heaven, It takes less than a second for the soul to leave.
