Yes. But not as most people understand it. The Bible clearly gives us the condition of the dead. Simple non-existence. Read Ecclesiastes 9:5,11 and you'll see that is true. There is no punishment by eternal fire. The Apostle Paul tells us at Romans 6:8 that "he who has died has been acquitted of his sins." But there is life after death in that we have the promise Jesus made at John 5:28,29 of resurrection to life on a paradise earth. That is why the Psalms say that the meek shall inherit the EARTH.

Life is life as we live it today. After we die we simply go to the state of sleep. We know nothing. For all that have died the next state we will ever possibly know is when we are somewhat awoken to be judged by our savior... Everyone that has ever breathed life will be judged at this time for his life and his works...if we abundantly loved our Lord and lived his law as he left us, we will be arisen and given a new spiritual body to live with him in heaven...

In a word YES
Let me explain.
When people die they go to a memorial tomb or grave...even if they are cremated what goes back to Jehovah is "your memory". Jehovah remembers to resurrect you.
For most of mankind there will be a resurrection to life. When they are resurrected they will be taught to worship God. They are each one given a perfect body. After a time goes by they will be judged. The ones that obey will get life everlasting. The ones that disobey will go to sleep in death and never wake again.
The others of mankind, a little group have a heavenly hope. God gives them the desire to rule with Jesus in heaven.
Once Jesus was in his kingdom they would be resurrected in the twinkling of an eye. They will put on a spiritual body.

Yes, the Bible speaks of a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous. That will be here on earth in Pardise condtions after he has his day of wrath and destorys the wicked. Isn't that a wonderful, loving God?! He cares for people! He is so loving and wants us all to have life. As it says in the Bible, “The wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.”—Romans 6:23 That was his original purpose before Adam and Eve sinned. If Jehovah destorys you during his day of wrath though, you have no hope of the resurrection because you have died by his judgement.

i don't think any state can be claimed to be 'life' if it does not have the capacity to exist.
there might be some oneness beyond physical life but "life" is not a word you can sensibly expect to use to describe it,
there is no biology or society or even thoughts beyond death redefine what you belive to encompass those criterion and you will have a working concept whatever it be.

NO!!!!!!!!!! Read your bible it clearly says "FOR THE LIVING KNOW THAT THEY SHALL DIE AND THE DEAD KNOW NOTHINNG". Jesus is not a liar. Dead is DEAD!!!! So if you see aint sadie walking around the grave at night guess what...someone is playing you for a fool and that someone is satan using spoke and mirrors to deceive you. Using his clan of demons to impersonate loved ones. When you go into the ground you go back to dust! but if you died and were a christian when Jesus returns he is going to resurrect you and take you to heaven and some of us will be alive when he returns so we will never have tasted the sting of death. Amen!

Even death is not death, it is just shifting from this mingled physical/ spiritual to spiritual world.

people who believe in reincarnation think so in that you could come back as a rock or a dog. I am a Christian so I believe Jesus is my Lord and so I believe in afterlife in heaven. Each religion has its own belief so you can check them out and make your own decision
