Is there a mortal life after death?

Answer 1

--Absolutely, it comes throught the arrangement of earthly resurrection.

(John 5:20-21) . . .. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom he wants to.....25 “Most truly I say to YOU, The hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who have given heed will live.....28 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life

--MEMORIAL TOMBS--contain those who have gone no where(not to heaven) , but are indeed in God's memory --MORE IMPORTANTLY --than relatives memory for they have no power to bring them back to life as their former personality--WITH THE PROSPECT of living forever in the paradised earth!

--OF GREAT INTEREST IS: that when Jesus was on earth, he demonstrated that mortal life DEFINETLY exists after death--
by resurrecting individuals back to life as mortals.
--SCENARIO LAZARUS his friend had died and Jesus was going to bring him back to life, ---WHAT FROM?---his totally non-living state! Please note the dialogue:

(John 11:1-2) 11 Now there was a certain man sick, Laz´a·rus of Beth´a·ny, of the village of Mary and of Martha her sister. 2 It was, in fact, the Mary that greased the Lord with perfumed oil and wiped his feet dry with her hair, whose brother Laz´a·rus was sick. .......11 He said these things, and after this he said to them: “Laz´a·rus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.” 12 Therefore the disciples said to him: “Lord, if he has gone to rest, he will get well.” 13 Jesus had spoken, however, about his death. But they imagined he was speaking about taking rest in sleep. 14 At that time, therefore, Jesus said to them outspokenly: “Laz´a·rus has died, .-------

---INDEED THAT IS WHAT HE DID! If you read the rest of the chapt , you would see that Lazarus was totally dead, He as a dead SOUL --- WENT NO WHERE but into the tomb, from where Jesus brought once again enlivend as a living SOUL(being, breather)

--WHEN ON EARTH, Jesus never performed any type of heavenly resurrection on ANYONE. Thus showing the promised hope behind resurrecting was primarily intended for humans here on earth!

--Moses, the biographer of Job brought this amazing fact to mind:

(Job 14:1-3) 14 “Man, born of woman, Is short-lived and glutted with agitation.  2 Like a blossom he has come forth and is cut off, And he runs away like the shadow and does not keep existing. ..."

--IN THE PRESENT earthly scene we are agitated , but note please what Job had as a comfort for the future--OUR TIME!---

 7 For there exists hope for even a tree.
If it gets cut down, it will even sprout again,
And its own twig will not cease to be.
 8 If its root grows old in the earth
And in the dust its stump dies,
 9 At the scent of water it will sprout
And it will certainly produce a bough like a new plant.
10 But an able-bodied man dies and lies vanquished;
And an earthling man expires, and where is he?
11 Waters do disappear from a sea,
And a river itself drains off and dries up.
12 Man also has to lie down and does not get up.
Until heaven is no more they will not wake up,
Nor will they be aroused from their sleep.
13 O that in She´ol(common grave) you would conceal me,
That you would keep me secret until your anger turns back,
That you would set a time limit for me and remember me!
14 If an able-bodied man dies can he live again?
All the days of my compulsory service I shall wait,
Until my relief comes.(In the form of resurrecting to earth--my comment)
15 You will call, and I myself shall answer you.
For the work of your hands you will have a yearning."

--ABRAHAMS full understanding of the earthly resurrection was demonstrated by his being ready to kill his son , Isaac as a sacrifice to God(this was not to be carried out , but stood as a symbolic drama).

------PLEASE NOTE HIS ATTITUDE:

(Hebrews 11:17-19) 17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, as good as offered up Isaac, and the man that had gladly received the promises attempted to offer up [his] only-begotten [son], 18 although it had been said to him: “What will be called ‘your seed’ will be through Isaac.” 19 But he reckoned that God was able to raise him up even from the dead; and from there he did receive him also in an illustrative way."

--RASIED BACK WHERE ?----Back to the earth to have children that would be in the lineage to Christ as the foretold!promised seed!

--FEASABILITY of the earthly resurrection:

*** it-2 p. 793 Resurrection ***

Resurrection During 1,000 Years. A very liberal estimate of the number of persons that have ever lived on earth is 20 billion (20,000,000,000). Many students of the subject calculate that not nearly so many have lived. Not all of these, as it has been shown in the foregoing discussion, will receive a resurrection, but even assuming that they did, there would be no problem as to living space and food for them. The land surface of the earth at present is about 148,000,000 sq km (57,000,000 sq mi), or about 14,800,000,000 ha (36,500,000,000 acres). Even allowing half of that to be set aside for other uses, there would be more than a third of a hectare (almost 1 acre) for each person. As to earth’s potential food production, a third of a hectare will actually provide much more than enough food for one person, especially when, as God has demonstrated in the case of the nation of Israel, there is abundance of food as a result of God’s blessing.—1Ki 4:20; Eze 34:27.

On the question of the earth’s food-producing power, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization maintains that, with only moderate improvements in agricultural methods, in even the developing areas the earth could easily feed up to nine times the population that scientists have estimated for the year 2000.—Land, Food and People, Rome, 1984, pp. 16, 17.

-----How would it be possible in 1,000 years to resurrect and educate the billions now in the grave?------

Nevertheless, an illustration reveals what a simple, practical thing Jehovah has in mind for mankind. Not to prophesy, but merely for the purpose of illustration, let us assume that those who compose the “great crowd” of righteous persons who “come out of the great tribulation” on this system of things alive (Re 7:9, 14) number 3,000,000 (about 1/1666 of earth’s present population). Then if, after allowing, say, 100 years spent in their training and in ‘subduing’ a portion of the earth (Ge 1:28), God purposes to bring back three percent of this number, this would mean that each newly arrived person would be looked after by 33 trained ones. Since a yearly increase of three percent, compounded, doubles the number about every 24 years, the entire 20 billion (20,000,000,000) could be resurrected before 300 years of Christ’s Thousand Year Reign had elapsed, giving ample time for training and judging the resurrected ones without disrupting harmony and order on earth. Thus God, with his almighty power and wisdom, is able to bring his purpose to a glorious conclusion fully within the framework of the laws and arrangements he has made for mankind from the beginning, with the added undeserved kindness of the resurrection.—Ro 11:33-36.

--ALL OF THE ABOVE and more are under the fulfillment of the EXTRAORDIANARY promise made by Jesus in the "Lords' Prayer"--"
.....thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven......."(Matthew 6:9,10)

--IS THAT not an exciting prospect to look forward too?

Answer 2

mortal life after death?!?
uhm.
i don't think so...
for me, a mortal body is temporal and when a person dies, the body ceases to live. ergo, it's dead!
however, there are possibilities of life after death. though that life might not refer to a mortal one.
besides, what would be the sense of dying if there would be a mortal life afterwards?
it's not yet the judgement day. and i don't think that the bible refers to the bodily ressurection of mankind.
peace! ^_^

Answer 3

What is difference between dying man and a dead man?
Soul !!!?
what is that ?

Dictionary says –“The immaterial part of a person; the actuating cause of an individual life”

So life is nothing but a journey of an immortal entity called Soul from birth to death in a body.

All such journeys of a soul is called life.

Answer 4

If you want.

All you have to do is get a brand new body when the old one wears out.

It's the body that's mortal, not you.

.

Answer 5

No. Your individuality only exists as long as your body manifests Consciousness in the particular way that your physical (including mental) structure dictates. When your body dies, your individuality dies and Consciousness returns to its source, which is an immortal 'life'.

Answer 6

Its a fantasy

Answer 7

i don't think so.
there is afterlife and after judgement day, you either go to heaven, the other end, or go where lost souls belong.

Answer 8

Unlikely, don't you think, as otherwise the world would be full of the living dead.................perhaps you're right !

Answer 9

Where would the venue be ???
