How long after you die does your soul hang around for?

Question

Is it true it's for three days and you can see what's going on.......

Answer 1

For as long as I can remember, it's been said funreal homes quietly 'reserve' a seat in the back for the deceased to watch his/her funreal service....before departing the living realm for the 'netherworld'.

I think that belief is far more widely shared than one really sees. Question is: how does the living know about something not fully (for obivious reason) experienced?

My take on it: I feel it is true. It explains the reverence we have during pre-burial of the recently deceased.

Answer 2

My own study of the Bible has convinced me that our souls or spirits go immediately into the presence of God when we die. The Apostle Paul wrote that those of us who are Christians "would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:8).

Although the Bible doesn't answer all our questions about life after death, it clearly tells us that we can look forward to heaven's joys when we die, if we know Christ. Shortly before His death and resurrection, Jesus told His disciples, "I am going there to prepare a place for you ... that you also may be where I am" (John 14:2-3). The Bible also says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23).

The most important truth I can tell you about heaven, however, is that we will be with God, and nothing evil or harmful will ever touch us again. In heaven, God "will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away" (Revelation 21:4). Why would anyone not want to go there?

All this is possible because Jesus Christ took upon Himself the death and judgment we deserve when He died on the cross for us. And by rising from the dead, He showed that He has conquered death and Hell and Satan forever. Is your faith and trust in Him for your salvation? If not, commit your life to Him today.

Answer 3

40 DAYS. THE ENERGY BODIES THAT OUR SOUL IS COMPOSED OF ARE FOUR. IT TAKES 10 DAYS EACH TO DISSOLVE AND THEN OUR CONSCIOUSNESS/BEING/SUPREME SELF GOES ON. IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THESE ENERGY COMPONENTS GOOGLE IT.IT IS VERY INTERESTING. IN 1995 A RESEARCH WAS CARRIED OUT AND IT WAS ESTABLISHED THAT THE BODY GOES 40 GRAMS LIGHTER AFTER THE PERSON DIES(10 GRAMS FOR EACH COMPONENT). A SOUL IS SOMETHING WE HAVE FOR THIS SPECIFIC INCARNATION AND PERSONA. WE DO NOT NEED IT FOR THE NEXT INCARNATION AS WE GET A DIFFERENT BODY WITH DIFFERENT PERSONA. WHAT GOES IN THE NEW BODY IS YOUR HIGHER SELF/SUPREME BEING/ENERGY ENTITY WITH THE NEW SOUL. YES IT IS TRUE THAT YOU CAN SEE WHAT HAPPENS FOR FEW DAYS COZ YOU STAY FOR A WHILE ON THE EARTH PLANE/REALM. BUT WHEN YOU START TO LOOSE YOUR SOUL COMPONENTS ONE BY ONE EVENTUALLY YOU BECOME WEAKER AND YOU MOVE ON A DIFFERENT REALM THAT HAS SIMILAR VIBRATIONS TO YOU.

Answer 4

By saying there's a soul in question, you're assuming that your mind, which no longer exists, somehow forms into an intangible object. Hence, the soul does not exist and therefore cannot "hang around" after you die.

Answer 5

I've heard the three days thing, on several occasions. My church doesn't teach that, but the first time I heard it was from a Buddhist. The second time was from a Rosicrucian (Max Heindel's group). Read this, from the Rosicrucians...look near the bottom of the page under "method":

Answer 6

You need to see how the Bible defines soul! The definition of the soul according to the scriptures voids your question.
