Was there any spirit before birth? Seems unlikely. So, it seems unlikely that anything continues after death.

A persons spirit Dwells in his/her soul, and when a person dies, the soul and spirit separates from the body, and is escorted to heaven by at least two angels, if they are saved, and they go straight to hell if they are not. The reason they are escorted, or carried, is because they have go through the principalities of the air, and would be hindered, by Satan's angels.

No there isn't......Here's why..... "When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?' " (Revelation 6:9-11).

To understand this scripture we must remember the context. John was witnessing a vision while he was "in the spirit" (Revelation 4:2). Under inspiration he was seeing future events symbolized. The fifth seal is figurative of the future great tribulation, a time of world turmoil preceding Christ's return. In this vision John sees under the altar the martyred believers who sacrificed their lives for their faith in God. These souls symbolically cry out, "Avenge our blood!" This can be compared to Abel's blood symbolically "crying out" to God from the ground (Genesis 4:10). Though neither souls nor blood can actually speak, these phrases figuratively demonstrate that a God of justice will not forget the evil deeds of mankind perpetrated against His righteous followers.

This verse does not describe living souls that have gone to heaven. The Bible confirms that "no one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven" (John 3:13). Even righteous King David, a man after God's own heart (Acts 13:22), was described by Peter as being "dead and buried" (Acts 2:29), not alive in heaven or some other state or location.
Just as Job spoke of his future "change," Paul spoke of a change when he referred to both the resurrection of the dead and the state of those who remain alive at the time of the resurrection at the return of Christ. A marvelous transformation must occur before we can receive the gift of eternal life. The dead in Christ will be resurrected to an "incorruptible" existence, and those in Christ who are still alive will be changed from a mortal, physical existence to an incorruptible state.

Paul's description of this astounding event. "Behold, I tell you a mystery," he wrote: "We shall not all sleep [die], but we shall all be changed-in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:51-52).

Those who have died are unconscious, as if they are sleeping, awaiting their time to be called out of the grave and resurrected to a new life. The period from the last moment of consciousness until they are awakened in the resurrection will seem as if no time had passed at all, just as if they were waking from sleep.

Paul shows clearly that this resurrection will occur when Jesus Christ returns to earth: "But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep [died], lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord" (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17).


In both passages Paul distinguishes between two groups-the dead and those who are still alive when Jesus returns-both of which will be in this resurrection. Although "it is appointed for men to die once" (Hebrews 9:27), some will remain alive when Jesus returns. What will happen to the faithful followers of Jesus Christ alive at that time?

At His return, these people's physical lives will end because they will be miraculously and instantaneously changed to incorruptible spirit, inheriting the gift of eternal life.

If you are a Catholic there is. You have consumed the life of Jesus who you live through after death.

no, there is nothing after death

" For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten"

These questions have no answers.

Beyond personal belief, you have to die to get that answer. I don't want to die any time soon, so I can wait.
