When someone dies their body stays here on earth, wether in a casket or ashes. Now there are only two places ones soul can go, heaven or hell. If u have made a personal committment with Jesus Christ then you will go to heaven, if you havent u will go to hell. People have no choice in regards to being in existance for eternity. People can choose to live eternally with Christ or eternally seperated from Christ in hell. Feel free to email me for more questions.

You go 6 feet underground. The bible says it best @(Ecclesiastes 9:5-6) 5 For the living are conscious that they will die; 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. 6 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.

The Bible declares that the dead are “conscious of nothing at all.” At death there is no torment in hellfire, no agonizing wait in Limbo, but simply a return to the dust. Therefore, God’s Word advises the living: “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, 10; Genesis 3:19) “Sheol” is an unfamiliar term to many. It is a Hebrew word of uncertain derivation. Many religions teach that the dead are still alive, but as the inspired Word of God shows, those in Sheol are dead, without consciousness. Sheol is the common grave of mankind.

DEATH IS THE OPPOSITE OF LIFE

Gen.3:19; From dust thou art and to dust thou shalt retutn.

Death opposite of life Psm.49:14; Eccl.3:19-21; 12:7; Psm.104:29,30; so Joseph had them carry his bones into the Promised Land to be buried, will he need them in the resurrection to be on the new earth? This is what Ezekiel said to the dry bones Eze.37:12-14; Joseph died 1698 B. C. Ezekiel was in Babylon 606 B. C.
Souls are born and souls are resurrected, Jesus gave us an example of that Acts 2:27-35; for him. 1Cor.15:22,-28; 51-53;
As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive, Rev.3:12; thousands are heavenly for the new heavens, and billions are earthly for the new earth.

The wages of sin is death.

Everyone who sins is worthy of death.

For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

Since we all have sinned we are deserving of death

Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, since he was not guilty of sin, we are saved.

Salvation isn't acquired through a simple acknowledgment of God's existence. Salvation comes through accepting Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. This isn't at all selfish, this is as a matter of fact the opposite of selfish, seeing as God doesn't restrict salvation, instead he has unlocked the door of salvation so that anyone who wishes to enter can, and anyone who doesn't won't.

I don't know, but I suspect I cease to exist.

However, I am having my brain suspended by alcor
www.alcor.org

so I have a rational chance at being alive again, without forcing myself to belief in the irrational

You go to sleep when you die. Your remains are usually buried, cremated or disposed of otherwise. You will be awakened at the first Resurrection for the dead in Christ. All others will be awakened at second Resurrection to be consumed in the lake of fire with their leader Satan.

It'll be tough for me to tell you since for one, I'll be dead...and two, wherever I tell them to put my body (supposing I have dictated this before my death) is where I hope to go, but again, I will not be able to verify that my wishes were carried out since I will be dead.
If you're still alive when I die, I suppose you'll be able to find out where I go (if you're still interested).

It does not matter to me whether or not heaven and hell exist. You seem to imply that one should pledge fealty to

Your question implies that believers will go to heaven and non believers will go to hell. To me that sounds like some reward and punishment system. Pledge your fealty to Jesus and earn your reward. Refuse to pledge, and the mafia boss is gonna put you on ice (I mean fire). So you are implying that I should believe to avoid punishment. What type of religious ideology is that? It sounds that one should become Christian out of SELFISH motivation rather than to find a path to enlightenment.

People ask what would convince me that there is a god. I'm not sure, but certainly open to any tangible evidence. I don't know what evidence would convince me because I believe (I don't know) it is impossible to prove the existence of god. I might believe perhaps if Jesus returned, turned some stones into bread and wine to feed thousands. What evidence would convince you that god does not exist? See? It's hard to answer that question!

Please don't quote me bible passages as evidence of god's existence. Remember, this is my standard of proof, not yours. However, if proof were provided that convinced me god exists, I would change absolutely nothing in my life or my behavior.

I ask you the counter question: If evidence were provided that convinced you god does not exist (evidence according to your standards of proof), what would you change in your life?

Would you stop evangelizing?

Would you start sinning more?

Would you stop helping those less fortunate than you?

Would you feel that life is meaningless?

People can commit good deeds and attempt to avoid causing harm to others without belief in god. I never claim that god is on the side of America when discussing politics. God does not take sides, does he?

SO...why do you believe in god? I like to live a purposeful life and certainly would not do something if there was no purpose or pleasure. So if god does not exist, what would be the point in believing? Turn that around and so assuming god exists, what's the point? How do you use that knowledge in your life? Do you use that knowledge to affect positive change in the world? Is it not possible to follow the Golden Rule, do good deeds, and affect positive change in the world without believing in god? Please don't quote John 3:16 that ONLY believers enter heaven as that sounds like belief is motivated in some selfish personal reward.

I have no vested interest in god's existence. I do not see existence of heaven or hell as a reward or punishment. If you believe in god because you want to enter the pearly gates or wish to avoid the fires of hell, that seems rather selfish. Isn't the whole purpose of religious belief so you can become a better person?

For all those thumbs down, I ask you to think about your personal motivation for believing in god.

Good works come without faith too. And those good works can be quite fruitful. But claiming that good works won't get me into heaven sounds like some of you believe that I have some motivation for performing these good works -- the hope of being rewarded with admission to heaven. Nothing could be further from the truth.That seems to be the faulty premise many Christians make about non-believers.

I don't do good works to get into heaven. I perform good works because it is the right thing to do. I have no expectation and have no desire of any reward for my good works. Why is this concept so difficult for many Christians to comprehend?
