what will happen after death?

Answer 1

Decay.

More slowly if you're embalmed.

Answer 2

before one can answer where do we go we must first decide WHAT IS GONE!

if you think the body is the sum total of you then that's sad for you and your answer is : you go up the chimney at the crematorium.There is an old cultural habit of thinking of people as primarily something material, as flesh and blood. As long as this idea holds, there's no answer. The flesh and blood do, of course, go up the chimney at the crematorium. But they aren't YOU.

What is gone is NOT AN OBJECT IT IS A PATTERN. admittedly the object part of the pattern is physically reduced to ashes and is gone but there is something else that consitutes us and that something is not fully gone becasue it is a part of everything it becomes part of the sum total of everything that has gone before it becomes part of our ongoing humanity.

that pattern is still here it cannot die it is eternal - it is a ghost within us it it is a spirit as much a part of reality as the living are, and this pattern is looking for a new material body, these patterns are transposed over and integrated into new lives and new bodies as they come.

"although the names keep changing and the bodies keep changing, the larger pattern that holds us all together goes on and on"

Answer 3

Here's what happens when you die -- you sit in a box and get eaten by worms. I promise you that when you die, nothing cool happens.
— Howard Stern

Beyond the grave they will find nothing but death. But we shall keep the secret, and for their happiness we shall allure them with the reward of heaven and eternity.
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky; (1821-1881)

Answer 4

I'm still wondering what will happen before death at this stage, we've all got some living to do.

Answer 5

Nothing. There's no reason to think that some immaterial part of us will survive the death of our bodies. So, like all living things, we obey the law of nature: Everything living dies, and everything dead rots.

When you can accept this, when you can look at this fact and not turn away in favor of wishful thinking, then you are all grown up.

Answer 6

Ah... The unanswerable question.

Regardless of what happens, it will probably not be exactly what anyone expects.

P.S. Too bad that there are no Internet Service Providers in Heaven, yet.

Answer 7

no one really knows but we all have theory's and hopes. i liked to hope theres place we will see all are loved ones again. but reality is that it will be something we wont even know about. like turning off a light bulb. have you ever heard the saying : the eyes are the door way to your soul.

meaning the soul is the brain.
the brain decays when we die the end. just like a light bulb being switched off.

Answer 8

The souls of believers at their death are made perfect in holiness do immediately pass into glory and their bodies, being still united with Christ, do rest in their graves until the resurrection.

The souls of non-believers at their death are thrown down into hell fire to be punished eternally for their sins that they committed.

Answer 9

Nothing, it's a nice long dirt nap followed by your being the buffet for a whole slew of underground friends. Unless you are cremated of course.

Answer 10

I will tell you when I die... I will actually know at that time... Till then, whatever I say will be imagination or so, 'cause it cannot be tested...

Can you test this statement? " I died as a sufferer and was reborn as a milliner!" Or " I died as a milliner and am now born as a popper"

Answer 11

I've made arrangements to be cremated, so the Christians may rest assured there will be something with fire after my demise.
