afterlife/death?

Question

after one dies, what happens. I've heard people say that an angel takes you away to heaven and others say that the only light you see is your vision failing and then death. Meaning that there is nothing more. Is that true?? Because if it is then why did the god say that there would be heaven and hell and life everlasting. And that if in heaven there are treasures. In your own opinion please tell me what you think happens after you die. Thanx.

If possible could you please try to prove your point and tell me why you think this is what happens.

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

A difficult question to answer since you can't tell when you're dead. The bible isn't that specific about it but here is a commentary:

1. Upon death, the soul or spirit of the believer goes immediately to be with God.

2. The Bible also says the believer goes to be with Christ in the presence of the Lord.

3. Believers are alive and conscious in this state.

4. Though it is not their final reward, it is a place of rest, waiting, activity, and holiness.

5. Paul, who was caught up in the presence of the Lord, says that he heard inexpressible things that a person is not allowed to communicate.

6. Although believers have a natural curiosity about the intermediate state, Scripture focuses on the time when Christ returns. At that time He will raise and judge the dead, and then set up His everlasting kingdom.

Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7).

Answer 3

When a servant of God dies he/she is at rest/peace (asleep) until Christ returns.

You are then resurrected and changed into a spiritual body to live with Christ forever.

When a non-servant dies-He/she is in the place of torment, total darkness, loneliness so strong you cry out in pain.

You know there is a God and a Savior but you are alone,

You know you were alive but remember only that you rejected God.

You burn with loneliness, and suffer and cry...

You are in torment...

You are in the prison called Hell...

When these are resurrected (taken to court for judgment) they will be destroyed in the everlasting fire that was created for Satan and His Angels.

To complicated to give verses and go into detail here as there are so many.

Answer 4

My logic is this: 1) What created the big bang? If A created the big bang, then what created A? If B created A, then, what created B? There won't be an end to my question, unless we believe God created the universe.2) If God exists, as God's children, we are also spirits that will never die, b/c God is a spirit and He never dies. 3) We will either have eternal lives in heaven with Jesus, or in hell with Satan.

Answer 5

Different belief systems all say different things, but the fact is that NO ONE REALLY KNOWS. All Christians have is an empty promise, while other religions just "recycle" you. I don't know, and though I'm curious I have too little time on this planet to waste it speculating. I have no doubt that I will die eventually, and I'll know when I get there.

Answer 6

It's truly unfortunate you are so confused over this matter. When we die, our spirits leave the body and go to a spirit world; Paradise for the righteous and a spirit prison for the unrighteous.

There, we wait for the resurrection of body and spirit and then the final judgment by Christ. Only then will we be assigned a heavenly glory or one that has no glory.

Answer 7

When you die thats it, just like before you were born.

Edit:

Ok evidence... no-one, and I mean no-one, has ever seen or heard mind without matter, the mind is the product of the brain. When you die your brain decays, hell even before you die your brain and mind deteriorate, and er thats it.

Answer 8

I believe, that at that point, we are whisked away to kneel before God so we can please Him for eternity. Many of my brothers and sisters in Christ feel the same way.

Answer 9

i belive that an angel comes and takes you to heaven and god said that one day their will be heaven on earth.

Answer 10

well I pretty much can guarantee that there are no ghosts on Y/A so get ready for a lot of rhetoric...
