I am not asking about the whole burial, decomp, etc process ...as I've learned enough about this in one of my classes.
I am just curious as to others beliefs.
Thanks,
Justin

i believe that there is life after death. in fact death is the death of body only but the real soul always lives in an other world. the soul is transferred from one mortal world to immortal world either in heaven or hell depending upon his or her activities in this world.

I believe in life after death. I know we'll be the same people we are now, and that everyone will be resurrected. I also believe we had a life before we came here.
Heaven isn't just a bunch of chubby cherubs sittting around playing the harp. There will be a purpose in the next life, and there will be personalities.
Your body might be in the ground, but your spirit lives on. This life is a very small slice of eternity.
I've thought about it, and even if I were wrong, and there was nothing after this, how would trying to live a good life now hurt me? On the other hand, if you believe there's nothing more than this, you'll be in trouble at the Judgement Day.
No, thank you. Really good question.

After our death,our body and spirit will be separated, the body will be in the grave and our spirit will go in a place which is called the spirit world,the spirit world is divided into two the spirit paradise where all who is in there shall be in a state of peace and rest and the spirit prison where the people who are in it needs to do something,all the people who are in the spirit world will wait for the Lord's second coming,the ressurection, the judgment, I'm a mormon and if you want to ask more question and to know more about this you can IM me,kath_lds27@yahoo.com,or if you want you can approach the missionaries of our church the young men who wears white polos with the neckties and their tags or they can be sister missionaries...

Well Shyguy, nobody really knows the answer to that question. People can be on here and try and answer it, but nobody really "knows" it's just what people believe, like small children believing in Santa Clause. Personally, I believe once we die we are dead and nothing else happens. You don't believe in unicorns, pixy dust, toothfairy, etc. All those characters that have been put into books and such, so why would you believe in all the other stuff? We just have to live our lives the best way we know how, and when we die, we'll see what happens.

In John 11:11-14 Jesus compares Death to a sleep, in 1Thess.4:15-16 Jesus will return for those who are ready, in John 5:28-28 there are two resurrections of Life and Death, in Gen. 2:7 God created mankind out of the dust of the ground and He BECAME a Living soul, a soul IS NOT something God poked into Him and breathed into Him the breath [or spirit Job 27:3] of life, find out more free bible studies www.amazingfacts.org OR www.itiswritten.com talk to me also wgr88@yahoo.com God bless

We are eternal beings as souls. What dies is the body and on death the soul is given another body as its abode.
Just like a body can not live without a soul, in the same way a soul can not live without a body.
But our bodies can be of different forms and species, the soul in it is always pure and divine.
What we need to know about ourselves is our divine form, and not the physical body form, which is perishable and not worth as much consideration as we are giving it.

The Right to Enter Paradise
Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

I believe what the Bible says:
"Man came to be a living soul." --Genesis 1:7b
“'The first man Adam BECAME a living soul.'" -- 1 Co. 15:45
"The soul that is sinning---It itself will die." --Ezekiel 18:4
"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." --Ecc 9:10
"There is no more remembrance of the wise one than of the stupid one to time indefinite." --Ecc 2:16
Is There Life After Death?
- Do You Have an Immortal Spirit?
- - What Is the Spirit?
- - "To Dust You Will Return"
- - The Spirit "Returns to the True God"

Immediately after death the eternal destiny of each separated soul is decided by the just judgment of God.

In my faith, death comes in 1000th of a second. There is life after death. For those who have accepted Christ as their personal Saviour, you will go to Heaven. You will be given a new physical body and live in a physical dimension called New Jerusalem. If not, you will be cast into Shoal, which is not yet Hell, but you will be totally isolated from God and His love forever. After the judgment, the unholy trinity will be cast into Hell--(The bottomless pit) first. Then those who have rejected Christ will follow. I'm not asking acceptance or not by Y!A because faith or a lack of it is a personal and individual matter. Either you believe or don't believe.
