Answer 2

The Condition of the Dead

All the practices mentioned above are based on belief in the immortality of the soul, that is, that part of a person continues living after his physical body dies. Is that what the Bible teaches? “The living are conscious that they will die,” it says, “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. Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun. All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol, the place to which you are going.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10) Sheol is simply the Hebrew word for the common grave of mankind.

Regarding death’s effect on a person’s consciousness, the inspired psalmist wrote: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.”—Psalm 146:4.

The Bible’s statements are authoritative and reasonable. What do you think? Would a loving father make his children suffer because of sinful tendencies that are a part of their nature? (Genesis 8:21) Of course not. So why would our heavenly Father do anything similar? When some in ancient Israel adopted the pagan ritual of burning their children in sacrifice to false gods, Jehovah condemned such a hateful practice, defining it as ‘a thing that he had not commanded and that had not come up into his heart.’—Jeremiah 7:31.

Man’s sins result in death, not torment in an afterlife. “The wages sin pays is death,” according to the Scriptures, and “he who has died has been acquitted from his sin.”—Romans 5:12; 6:7, 23.

The dead are not suffering. Rather, it is as though they were in a deep sleep, without consciousness—pleasurable or otherwise. There can be no question about it, then, that all the efforts people make to help the dead run contrary to Bible teachings.

What Hope for the Dead?

That is not to say that your dead loved ones will remain unconscious forever. On the contrary, their prospects are bright.

Before bringing his dear friend Lazarus back to life, Jesus said that he was going to “awaken him from sleep.” (John 11:11) On another occasion he explained that “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” (John 5:28, 29) The resurrected will already have been acquitted of their previous sins and will thus not have to suffer for what they did while they were alive before. They will have the opportunity to learn to enjoy life under perfect conditions. What a prospect!

If that prospect appeals to you, do not hesitate to verify the trustworthiness of these promises. Jehovah’s Witnesses will be delighted to help you.

HAVE YOU WONDERED?

▪ Are the dead conscious?—Psalm 146:4; Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10.

▪ Would God allow the dead to suffer in a burning hell?—Jeremiah 7:31.

▪ Is there hope for the dead?—John 5:28, 29.

Answer 3

congratulations! youve joined a cast of millions asking this question. if you ask the question you must assume a something else after the body you used dies and rots. otherwise, you wouldnt bother asking the question. thats good, because you agree with a basic tenent of science that states that energy cannot be destroyed however it can be transformed (same energy different appearance different application) now we have a problem. you are not only energy that cannot be destroyed, you are also a self aware form of energy (i.e. your question) unique among all of creation. (introduce me to a cow that asks why do i give milk) being unique means responsibility, doing the right thing , turning the cheek, helping your neighbor, affecting life for the good.its your job. make a descent stab at it and you will have your answer.

Chemical reactions in the brain-end. no more.

no more.

you wont even see blackness. you won't even dream. your brain and body will cease to function as it does when people die now a days.

we dont have 'souls' and i mean actual ghostly figures inside of us that float into a magical cloud city or go down into a fire lake that is rule by a little red man with horns and a trident.

sounds very 1500's by the way.

Answer 8

Truly, we do not know. Anyone can believe or have faith in an afterlife, heaven or hell, paradise by whatever name, but, in truth, no one can really know whether or not any sort of eternal life follows physical death, since no one who was brain dead has ever returned to describe the situation. Near-death experiences can not be recognized as legitimate because the one claiming to have knowledge of the beyond was not, in fact, actually deceased. Your question, honestly, is unanswerable...

Answer 9

Just as our physical bodies return to the earth decompose, and become other living things (bacteria and worms eat our flesh, through decomposition we become dirt and nutrients that plants absorb), our spirits leave the body and become either a new spiritual energy, or dispurse and combine with other partial energies to become new spiritual energies. Hence, "old souls" and "new souls".
