What becomes of man after death. Wonder who can answer this question?

Answer 1

After death, man decomposes. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's really all there is to it.

Answer 2

Man has two parts in him, one the Soul which is not clearly defined by anyone. The other part is the physical body. This two things are bound together during this life. Death means these two are separated, the body is destroyed. The soul is taken into another world which has different dimensions. It cant be explained by Human knowledge. To understand this, we can relate our everyday sleep to death. When we fall asleep, we enter into a different world. Our soul and body are still present. When we wake up we know that we have slept for 5 hours only after seeing the sun or the clock. The same thing will happen to our soul. But one day our soul will wake up and we will be made accountable for our actions. Based our actions we will be given judgement. To justify this we have a theory. Till now time is not defined scientifically. We can measure time and know that time will always go forward. There are few theories that time is going forward like how our universe is expanding. Time is a dimension for all measurements. Scientists say when everything move with the speed of light, then time dimension will not be there. After death this time dimension will not exist for us. We will lay silent in the grave (physically cant be explained becos the dimensions are different) until the judgement day.

Answer 3

To any human being these can happen: -

Till the body is buried;
(1) Some will cry with tears; some without tears
(2) Prayers and incenses will drive the soul away from the scene with choked ears and noses.
When the body reaches the final resting place the departure will further be delayed with all type of manmade ceremonies.
After the body is buried the worms will feast on it. Perhaps for some this was the only useful sacrifice they had ever made; but remain unknown ever to them
Finally life after death! I will answer but I put a question to you. What was man before his birth? He will be that after his death too! A simple naught.

Answer 4

This is the moksha or freedom from the ignorance of life.
Nobody believes that everything is over with our death. This is the secret of immortality. This drives us on , in spite of knowing that this body will decay and die with time. This is the way we pave the way for the new born.
Our all great sages had said that , based on our actions of the past life , we come back again to this beautiful Earth to complete our unfulfilled tasks.
This is the reason why our next generations are always better than us , as they are having the past knowledge to surge ahead in the future.
This is evolution and progress of the mankind , which the other creatures are unable to do on the earth. This way , through this recycling of our knowledge and experience we are turning from simple human beings to super human beings.

Answer 5

if by a man, you mean a body, then the body dies and turns to worm food/compost/ashes.

if you don't mean a body, then you probably mean a consciousness.
If that is the case, then we might draw your attention to the laws of conservation of matter, and the laws of conservation of energy.
They state that matter/energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.

On the matter of life after death, I would like to offer that there is a law of conservation of consciousness which acts much the same way as the laws of matter and energy.
Consciousness cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed. (Can you IMAGINE being dead? of course not! there's no reality to the idea of the death of consciousness..it is unimaginable).
What happens at death is that consciousness undergoes a transformation....not an elimination. This transformation depends on many factors...just like energy, there are numerous transformations which may occur...and those transformations are dependent on the context of the situation.

Answer 6

man becomes spirit and eternal, when we sleep and often dream, our spirit so to speak is leaving our body and going on an adventure, that's why some dreams seem so real, when we pass away, we leave our body and become spirit, it has been measured that when we die our physical body loses weight at the exact moment of death leading us to believe that this must be the weight of the human spirit, there was a movie titled after this, go to heaven, roam the earth, what ever your belief may determine your fate, it would be a shame to think we just cease as Christians think, the father, the son, and the holy ghost exist, spirit lives on, may be reborn, reincarnation, YESTERDAYS CHILDREN is a true movie of an example of life after death

Answer 7

Bhagavad-gita-2.12 & 13
Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be. As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.

Those who are seers of the truth have concluded that of the nonexistent [the material body] there is no endurance and of the eternal [the soul] there is no change. This they have concluded by studying the nature of both. That which pervades the entire body you should know to be indestructible. No one is able to destroy that imperishable soul. Bhagavad-gita-2.16 & 17
An excerpt from the purport by Purport by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON,
(International Society for Krishna Consciousness).
There is no endurance of the changing body. That the body is changing every moment by the actions and reactions of the different cells is admitted by modern medical science; and thus growth and old age are taking place in the body. But the spirit soul exists permanently, remaining the same despite all changes of the body and the mind. That is the difference between matter and spirit. By nature, the body is ever changing, and the soul is eternal. This conclusion is established by all classes of seers of the truth, both impersonalist and personalist. In the Vishnu Purana (2.12.38) it is stated that Vishnu and His abodes all have self-illuminated spiritual existence (jyotimsii vishnur bhuvanani vishnuh). The words existent and nonexistent refer only to spirit and matter. That is the version of all seers of truth.

Lord Krishna gives further information in chapter two, verses 22 to 25,
As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones. The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind. This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same. It is said that the soul is invisible, inconceivable and immutable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for the body.

Answer 8

The body goes to the grave and is no more The spirit, the inner being, the soul goes to Heaven or Hell. Upon the last day, Jesus will return and reunite the body and soul together. The Christian's body will now be perfect, no health problems, no old age, We'll be 100% perfect in mind, body, and spirit We'll be in better shape than we can imagine and live forever in a perfect, beautiful place. The UN-believer will face an eternal life of torment in Hell. .

Answer 9

Just as our bodies wears and changes clothes, same way the soul inside the body discards the present body and embraces other body.

So the man(soul) always has a body as it's abode. The God does the allottment of the bodies that we will wear.

The best body is that of a human being, because it is in this body that we can strive to achieve our aim.

Answer 10

There is no soul sleep of the righteous. The bible clearly says:
2Co 5:8 Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. (ESV Translation)

Only the damned sleep in their graves.
1Co 15:51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

Those that have died in Christ now reside in heaven. Since Christ, the second person of the Godhead, has always existed, the elect of God have been known to Him before Christ actually walked the earth. So anyone who has died since the world began exists in heaven or in the grave as described above.

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.
2Th 1:9 They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

Answer 11

God can answer definitively.
All else have to assume what they know is true.

After death, from what I read and know...
1) the body decays
2) the soul, immortal, faces judgement
3) based upon judgement, the soul spends eternity in Heaven or Hell (with a possible side trip to Purgutory before Heaven)
