Could the death state be similar to our pre-birth state?

Question

Afterall, who remembers how he was before coming into this world? Would leaving it, be any different?
If souls are immortal like the Bible claims, that means they don't just form at birth, right? They were always present. But I don't remember anything about my soul before birth. If I can't feel my soul before birth? Why would I feel it after death?

Answer 1

Yes, complete non being.

Answer 2

I would say no since you are alive in the womb. I've never heard of anyone who remembers what life was like in the womb, nor have I ever heard of anyone remembering anything before 3 or 4 years out of the womb.

Can you feel your soul now?

Your soul was created by God, therefore it had a beginning. It once was not. Your body will die, but the soul will continue to exist in an incorruptible (immortal) body. God is perfect and complete existence; and through Jesus Christ, He offers each of us to share in that Existence for all eternity. Just as you can't force someone to love you, God in no way coerces us to love Him or that love wouldn't be real. We seek after the people and things we love. Seek the Lord Jesus while He may be found! He's seeking after you to give you Life in the fullest! You can turn to Him anytime or any place since He's never far from you.

Answer 3

well since no one knows a thing about the soul after death, that's a hard question to answer (probably impossible). But maybe when we are born, and our soul enters our body, we lose all conscious knowledge from previous lives or what have you. All that knowledge is stored in your soul and is not meant to be leaked out into your new life. When you die, your soul goes back to its knowledgeable state along with its new experiences and lessons from the life it had just lived and adds it to all the previous lives. I think if we knew about our time before this life, it would take away from what we are learning now. I know people that had problems they couldn't explain, fears and such. It wasn't until they went to a therapists who regressed them back to past lives did they discover why they had those fears. Unconscious leaks like that hinder our current life, its like getting the yellow and black mixed together in a watercolor set, it screws stuff up.

Answer 4

First thing first NO WHERE does The Holy Bible say our soul is immortal that is not true, in Gen. 2:7 it is written God created mankind and breathed into Him the breath of Life also in the bible [Job 27:3] spirit is called breath, and man BECAME a living soul God DID NOT poke a soul into him he rather BECAME a soul, in 1 Thes.4:15-18 those asleep in death raise to meet Jesus when He returns, Eccl.12:7 The body returns to dust and the spirit returns to God The bible does not say the soul returns to God, but the Spirit or breath. in John 5:28-29 there are only TWO resurrections, one of the saved one of the lost no more. and Jesus who Himself is God [see Heb.1:5-9, 13:8, John 1. John 8:58 where He calls Himself THE I AM of Exodus 3 Jesus IS GOD] said Himself in John 20:17 that HE Himself had not gone yet to heaven, find out more about what God's Word really says free bible lessons www.amazingfacts.org God bless

think of you're jogging on a protracted highway from A to B the place B is your destiny (what's written for you). This highway has many streets. some streets carry approximately solid issues and others carry approximately undesirable issues. once you're making Du'a Allah could make you enter a form of small streets and have what you needed for. once you're finished you will proceed back on the long highway to point out B. ingredient B is your destiny. particularly Du'a ought to come genuine yet your destiny to point out B is inevitable. Your destiny is written yet what's in between is between you and Allah and his mercy and his kindness. destiny substitute into already desperate earlier something existed, merely such as you making that dua substitute into already desperate. so whether or not your dua substitute into responded substitute into additionally desperate earlier time existed

Answer 6

In the bible,it states that we are asleep & will be awakened by Christ when He comes back to claim His own.
My belief is that while we are asleep,we will dream according to where our heart is until Christ comes back.
I think this is why He tells us to think on whatsoever things are true,lovely & of good report.Not to have hatred or anger in our hearts or think about bad things.
I also believe it will be our soul that rises ,not our bodies.In His word,it states that we will have spiritual bodies,be raised incorruptable,for when we were alive we were in corruptable bodies.

The Arguments relating to a Similiar Dissimilar next Birth:

1) In supporting the view that the jiva takes birth in the next life in the same kind as it is in this life, it is argued "Wheat grows from wheat, maize from maize, mango from mango. Thus the effect is created in accordance with the cause". But this kind of belief is not logically sensible, because an arrow can be made out of a horn: and if it is sown after being smeared with particular oil, grass also grows therefrom. In the shastra called 'Yoni Praabhrit' it is said that from the combination of many diverse substances snakes lions, gold, pearls can be created. In practical life we find that scorpions take birth from scorpions, as well as from cowdung.

2) The theory is that the effect is created only in accordance with the seed. Now according to this principle also jiva can take a different kind of birth in the next life. It happens in this manner; In samsar, the seed of the next life is karma, and these karmas, are created in strange forms due to the strangeness of the causes such as Mithyatva (false faith) and 'avirati' (lack of refrainment) etc. Then the sprouts of next life that arise from these strange karmas also remain different in 'Gati' (human existence, beastly existence etc.,); Jati' (from 'one-sense' life to 'five- sense' life), strength, wealth, appearance etc., what wonder is there in this? By inference; the worldly births of the Jiva are varied in the form of inhabitants in hell, beasts, etc. Because this is the effect of strange karmas. The different effects of karmas is like the worldly differences that arise from agriculture or trade etc., as occupations. The implication is that in the world, the birth is not accidental; but is the fruit of previous karmas. The rule is therefore as is the karma; so is the kind of birth. Karmas of the similar kind produce the similar kind of birth; and dissimilar ones produce dissimilar kind of birth.

3) The ripening of karmas is strange because it is in the form of modification of pudgals i.e. (effect in the form of inanimate substances). For this, similar illustration is of the cloud etc., and opposite illustration is of the sky. For the creation of clouds strange causes happen hence there is strangeness in clouds. Whereas for the sky there are no strange causes, hence there is no strangeness in the sky. As regards karma special strangeness happens on account of many sorts of Avarans (veils). If the cause is strange, the effect must be strange. This is quite logical.
