Answer 1

I have asked this queston to? its a good one. what if life is a dream. Its a good or a bad dream but still a dream. Some people remember there dreams and some dont. But when we do its deja vu or a really good idea or something. Its a tripp because when we die in our dreams most people wake up before it happens so when we die we live and wake up! just thinking?

Answer 2

This book Scientifically reinforces what I have believed (known) for decades... The Soul/Spirit resides in our Mind which is not the same as the Physical Brain. I have had OBE's (Out of Body Experiences) all my life which is proof that the Mind does not need the Body or Brain to exist...yet, The Body and Brain do need the Mind to exist. I have also been visited by the Spirits of Loved ones who have crossed over. The Book: The Afterlife Experiments : Breakthrough Scientific Evidence of Life After Death Gary E. R.

Answer 3

Another 1 of the many questions raised when considering the contradictory concept of an immortal soul (which is not presented in the Bible). We do not exist until conception. After birth, we live on our own (independent of our mother's system/umbilical cord), and in time we die. At death all of our bodily functions and associated sensations/capacities cease. Period.
Perhaps if we live in a manner pleasing to God, he will decide to resurrect us.
Everything else really is fairy tail.

Answer 4

According to Hindu religion Aaman (Individual Soul)
lives for Ever-Eternal-only body is destructible--"Aatman nityam"=Soul is eternal---Na Boothvaa-=there was never a time in the past that Aatman was not there--na Bhuyaha=it is living today also---na Bhavitha vaa=there will never be a time that in the next zillions of years that Aatman will not be there"Saasvathoyam"=It is Eternal.
"Vasaamsi Jeernaani Yadha Vihaya=just as you change your worn out ,old clothes with a new one ,aathman(Soul) changes the body when it is worn out and old.

Answer 5

Jerimiah (3) tells us that "God knew you before you were born" ... In Luke, Elizabeth tells Mary "The Lord is with you" when John (in the womb of Elizabeth) jumps for joy.

The Garden of Eden tells of a paradise where people without knowledge of good an evil hang out with all their needs fulfilled. They have 'eternity' but no knowledge or wisdom. We don't know how long they stayed in that paradise ... it could be days, weeks, years, milliums, or more. Once they eat of the fruit of knowledge ... they're giving up eternity to gain knowledge and convert this to wisdom. It is my personal belief (non-authoritative) that we all ate the fruit of knowledge to get born here on earth ... and that's how God knew us before we were born as told in Jerimiah.

Jesus comes along and makes the path for us to return to God to spend eternity with Him and our wisdom we've been blessed to receive in this life. TBTG we get it all in the end.

Answer 6

No, how could we be with being born . Our purpose is too severe God and then when we die we will live with him forever but those who go to hell with die when God has the last battle with Satin

Answer 7

Eternal life has neither divided beginning nor dead end.

Pure religion arrived undefiled and remained unspotted.

"Scriptures" were written "aforetime" for y(our) "learning",
to learn what "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice" means.
Seek & find reveals it meaneth I will have grace, not law.

Where no law, there no transgression.
When no law, no sin & death IMPuted.
Where & when no law, there & then no dead end.
When ended properly, as written, then none perish.
Mean-while, "all perish" by the using of ordinances.

So the end to endure unto of the God shew written,
which God notably declared from the beginning is:

The GRACE(ONLY) of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 8

We existed before we were born. We are here to learn. Consider this "school." We can't progress in our eternal existence without coming here.

Answer 9

By definition eternal is without beginning or end, so if it truly is eternal one would have to exist prior to birth.

Answer 10

We wanted to be like our heavenly father so we came to earth to get a body and be obedient to be able to return to live with our Heavenly Father again like we once did.
