According to Christianity what happened to man after death?

Answer 1

We come forth in either the first or second resurrection, are judged of the Lord and awarded our eternal estates according to our faithfulness and works during mortality.

Answer 2

Happened is past tense. Are you asking what HAPPENED to Adam (man -- first man) after death or are you asking what HAPPENS to man (in general) after death? The Bible is the basis of Christian thought. The Bible says that man is a three part being: Body, Soul and Spirit (though some maintain that the soul and spirit are the same thing). In other words there is the inner you and the outer you. The Bible says that death is the separation of the outer you from the inner you. That is, your body dies but you keep on living. The Bible says that it is appointed to man to die, and after that the judgment. The Bible says that no man can pass the judgment. If we cannot endure seeing our lives in every detail laid out on a movie screen, we get a taste of how awful judgment will be. The Bible says that that is why Jesus died, to save us from the sentence of our misdeeds. However, the Bible says that judgment starts with Christians -- in these days the Church is mere form and no power, although some mistake hoopla for power and others mistake intolerant doctrinal correctness for
holiness. According to the Bible we have all departed from God's will. The Bible says that Jesus is the only door to salvation. Since Christians are a disgrace generally, the purifying fires will be put to all those who name the name of Jesus as Savior. This is the judgment that will come to those who claim to be Christians. When it is over, only true blue believers will be standing, and from my experience, these kind of people are the sweetest people on earth. Meanwhile we live in an existential, hedonistic world with a modicum of right and wrong wired into us all the while we deny it and pretend it is not there. For saying there is no right and wrong, we sure get judgmental when some predator kills a helpless person, don't we? Sure, deep down we know right and wrong. We just ingore it.

Answer 3

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)

Answer 4

The Bible said you have to wait in your graveyard until Jesus comes for Judgement Day. Then those deserving ones will go with Him to heaven and those not deserving ones will go
to hell. The world will then end in fire.

Of course there are many theories on this. Dr. Ian Stevenson of University of Virginia discovered reincarnation.

Dr. Melvin Morse says there is near-death experiences.

Make your choice.

Answer 5

If you believe in God and live according to His word you will go to heaven when Jesus comes again

Answer 6

Answer 7

Nothing happened.
We become non-existent.
We exist no where.
Jesus taught about a resurrection (a re-making) but that is for the future ....right now we simply 'sleep'.

Answer 8

Some sort of judgement to decide how you spend the rest of eternity.

Answer 9

1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
