In your opinion, where do we go when we die?

Question

people are made of of three items:

1. Body
2. Spirit - Breath of Life
3. Makes a Soul

just like a Box.

1. Wood
2. Nails
3. makes a Box

What happens when you take the nails out of the wood? The Box disappears.

Same as when the spirit leaves the body, the soul disappears. the Soul is you. the Spirit, or Breath of life, goes back to the life giver - God of Heaven, sorry, that is not you that goes right away :( just the breath of life. the body goes back to where it came from, the dirt of earth, well most of it. Some bones just don´t disappear, they tend to stick around for a while.

I am telling you what i Believe, not forcing you to believe the way i do. its just my opinion :)

OK, now,
When Jesus comes again, he will bring the Breath of Life with him to reintroduce to all the bodies that are laying around, underground, in the oceans, or where ever they may be. when the Breath of Live is reintroduced, ( like the Nails back in to the Wood ) the Soul ( Box ) reappears :) and you are Whole again :)

I asked a preacher a similar question once, and this is how it was explained to me. It sounded better then any other explanation i have ever heard. well, i asked a lot of preachers a question like this, and this answer is the one i liked the best and is the one i give out when i am asked :)

I would like to know what other people think, that is why I am asking.

I do not mean to offend any one.

Answer 1

oopss..! your right..! that's what the bible teaches us..There's no immortal life after death but there is a resurrection of dead of a righteous and unrighteous people when jesus control us under the kingdom of his father. Do you heard it from one of the Jehovah's witness??If so, just continue to get knowledge taught by them, all of them will answer you through bible..CONTINUE THE GOOD WORK in searching an ACCURATE knowledge...Good day!!

Answer 2

I would first say that none of us can really know what happens after we die, until we die.

I characterize it thusly. My eternal soul is like a drop of water and like all drops of water it will eventually find it's way back to the ocean. A transformation of sorts because the drop of water is still a drop of water, but is also now definable as a part of the ocean and connected to all of the other drops of water.

Okay, before you atheists start, I know that a drop of water is also made up of millions of little molecules and in itself is an ocean, but what I describe is a symbol or a parable in order understand a spiritual concept that can't be described any other way.....much like the bible is a collection of parables. The atheists attack any parable as just a bunch of fairytales and bedtime stories, but consider that all the great religious texts (not just christian) are in the form or parables or symbols. This is because the concepts they are explaining must be told this way. This allows them to be understood though the ages. A parable story means the same to someone in the year 101 as it does to someone in the year 101,000 and it's not the specifics of the story that matter, it's the spiritual concept that matters.

What has stood the test of time? The great spiritual texts (which describe the great moral and spiritual truths), or the scientific texts (like the earth is flat and the sun revolves around the earth...or maybe that letting out blood will heal a sick person)?

Answer 3

I did a very in depth study with my best friend who was dying of cancer at the age of 38. She had a great mind but a very sick body and had a very great interest in what she could expect to happen to her. She was a born again Christian and knew that God would take care of her, she just wanted to know how. We worked for several months looking up every reference to death and dying and her consensus was that we sleep until the great awakening. I was like most Christians and thought we shot straight up to heaven. Not really if you sort out all of the things that are said. So , now that she has been sleeping since 1990, I'm praying she soon awakens so I can tell her all that's been going on while she's had her power nap. I just can't wait to see her.

Answer 4

The question of what happens after death can be confusing. The Bible is not explicitly clear on when a person will reach their final eternal destiny. The Bible tells us that after the moment of death, a person is taken to Heaven or Hell based on whether he or she had received Christ as his or her Savior. For believers, after death is to be "away from the body and at home with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:23). For unbelievers, after death means everlasting punishment in Hell (Luke 16:22-23).

This is where it can get confusing as to what happens after death. Revelation 20:11-15 describes all those in Hell being cast into the lake of fire. Revelation chapters 21-22 describe a New Heaven and New Earth. Therefore, it seems that until the final resurrection, after death a person resides in a “temporary” Heaven and Hell. A person's eternal destiny will not change, but the precise "location" of a person's eternal destiny will change. At some point after death, believers will be sent to the New Heavens and New Earth (Revelation 21:1). At some point after death, unbelievers will be thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15). These are the final, eternal destinations of all people - based entirely on whether a person had trusted Jesus Christ alone for the salvation of their sins.

Answer 5

I have to "hope" for a better place. I believe that is what "faith" is. However, I do not believe in a savior other than God. We do not understand what God is. Our creator, ....but I can't help but be confused as to the savior concept. God said in the old testament...that his words do not change...he gives his commandments and none of them say something about a savior to come...and in Hosea 13:4 he says he is the only savior and there is no one but him. So it makes no sense that it all changes in the new testament. So I hope their is a loving and fair God that will have something better in the afterlife. Not just a kingdom for people who believe in Jesus and some burning torture for those who don't. I personally believe a fair and loving God would not do that. I would hope that a fair God would judge what is really inside peoples heart. And I agree with your last line "I am telling you what I believe, not forcing you to believe the way I do. Its just my opinion."

Answer 6

3 parts to heaven outer court where there is eternal separation from God for those with no belief ... inner court where there is believers but they never quite went the extra mile to move with God across the Jordon...last is the most holy of hollies where those who finish the race and accomplish the will of God!

Spirit is the heart or God within
Soul is our mind
Body is this vessel that only lasts for a season until death do us part....

I really don't believe that dead bodies and dried bones will be
made whole again ,but I do believe in a twinkling of an eye we will be changed in Christs image.....

Second coming no I belueve that already happened but a coming where the sons of God dwell in his presents for eternity yes..It is all spiritual and I believe these dimensions exist here on earth and around it ..Maybe there will be plans for the universe ...

But this life as we know it will go on forever just like the earth.... Somewhere in there fits a restoration but not sure exactly what that would be or when it might take place!

Answer 7

Yours is a typically arrogant anthropocentric christian or religious viewpoint, where somehow a human life, and only those that belive in god, and only those that belive in YOUR god, can have an afterlife. When all other creatures are in fact imeasurabley more innocent, your infantile wishes display an arrogance, ignorance and denial that can only be accomodated by a your religion.

When ALL animals die, the same thing happens to them as when you buried your last pet.. Get over it..!

Answer 8

I believe in parallel universe. Does that answer your question?

To tell you the truth, I don't know where will a person go when he dies. Who knows where so? But I believe in one thing, that natural death is one good feeling, it's like your burden has been relieved, resolved. If that was euphoric in essence, then I don't care where I would I be next.

Answer 9

We go to either Heaven or Hell. Our souls are transported to see an old white dude with a beard who has the key to heaven. He opens a big book of all our past life and sins and counts the little red checkmarks (that represent our sins, such as kicking pets or having naughty pre-maritial sex). He then has a special math formula and if we have too many red marks, a trapdoor opens up underneath us and we go to Hell.

Answer 10

Well I do know where I am going to Heaven to be with
Jesus when I die
my soul and spirit will depart from this body
