  • 5-12-2017 My bible says when you die, you're dead. But some of us won't die.
  • If you have Jesus in your heart you will be alive in Heaven with Jesus.
    • Rick Myres
      There is firm evidence in my heart that He does. If Jesus did not exist you would not be alive to say what you did.
  • In the Bible it says man is appointed to die once. Without Jesus comes the second death.
  • The Bible states in Ecclesiastes 9:5 "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all". It is as if one has fallen asleep.
    • Rick Myres
      Amen LizzyP
  • You go to be judged, then prison or Paradise based on your choices in this life. After that is the Millennium and then your eternal destination.
  • Your lifeless body gets buried in the ground or burned to ashes.

      Hello, my little Linda of lusciousness. How are you today ?
    • Linda Joy
      I'm well today! Thank you! How are you?
    • beaker95
      Yes, just about this side of okay, thanks for asking. I have finished work till Monday, so I am beavering away on my computer or watching some garbage on the TV for three days. I would like to get my man-boobs out and point them at the Sun, but because this is England, the clouds are blocking the Sun and I am unable to.
  • If your a believer in Jesus then your soul goes immediately to the future event known as the Rapture because the Judgement follows immediately after the Tribulation - and it's written that, for those born again, after this is the Judgement. It is also written that those who have fallen asleep in the Lord will not be proceeded by those taken in the Rapture event. The believers are reunited with their bodies - which slept in the ground as the soul was transported to the time of reintegration - and are transfigured to the likeness of Christ since our own forms are as filthy rags by comparison. Those who refused Christ in life will have their souls taken to Hell to await the Judgement day - when they'll have the chance to say why they deserve entrance into Heaven without Jesus. They will not be immediately transported to that future Judgement but will have to suffer in Hell while they wait for their court date. They will be aware of the passage of time as they wait and will be able to feel the decomposition of their rotting bodies in their graves as well as the flames the soul itself will be in. The Judgement will begin by God making every knee bow and every tongue confess that Jesus IS LORD to the glory of God the Father. No one at the Judgement will be found worthy of entry into Heaven without Jesus. Hell will then be thrown into the Lake of Fire and so will those who belong there. Satan will be bound alone in a bottomless pit for the next Millenium while the Earth will get the chance to be ruled as it was ment to have been. After the 1,000 years are over Satan is loosed to make one last attempt to deceive those who lived during the reign of Christ. This last rebellion will end evil forever and result in this Earth being destroyed by fire and being replaced with a New Earth that has never seen evil at all. Then Heaven will come to this New Earth where we will live with our Lord forever.

      I can't believe I skipped right over the judgment
    • beaker95
      I like skipping, but not as much as I like hopping.
  • you go to either heaven or hell
    • Nick culloden
      According to the Bible what happens to man when he dies is clearly stated at Psalm 146:4 (margin): ?His breath goes out, he goes back to his ground, in that day his thoughts do perish.?
  • I will pass from death into life with Jesus Christ in the presence of The Father.
  • Life exits the body, the rest is a mystery.
  • I regroup with my fellow Marines in Hell and we take over.
  • According to the Bible and my religious beliefs as a Seventh Day Adventist, you get judged by your deeds. Hebrews 9:27 "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" Now, if you are on the right path with God, you will sleep in the grave until the resurrection. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) Besides that, if you think you will go to Heaven immediately, it is possible and done by what the Bible proclaims.

      Quote: The Bible has numerous unwise contradictions." But not one so-called contradiction have you mentioned.

  • Turtles. It's turtles. ... All the way down.
  • My body or my ashes will be returned to Mother Earth and become part of her ecosystem.

  • Am not part of a particular Religion. But when you die...haha...you don't die.... The physical body will die and you will move out, traveling in your Spiritual Body..... Karma has everything to do with what happens next.... A face to face with your Karma to understand what must be done to balance it out. Your length of stay in this area has to do with your karma..... And then you are back into another physical body to work off the Karma you have been face to face with..... ...after many lifetimes and Karma is in the present well...that's another story for another question.
  • You go to heaven but I'm pretty sure I won't make it there. Ha.
  • I have no religion, and the most logical idea is that death ends all life functions of all individuals forever. There is no convincing evidence that any form of life after death actually exists.
    • Cry me a River
      Winter, Spring, Winter, Spring. Winter, Spring..
    • bostjan the adequate 🥉
      Hi Golden Blue. That's not how seasons work. Spring goes into "summer," and then summer goes into "autumn." Those are the four seasons that start with winter. In tropical zones, there is no winter, only wet and dry seasons alternating. So maybe you meant to say "wet, dry, wet, dry, wet, dry," but I think that would perhaps be irrelevant to the answer upon which you commented.
  • Virtually everyone considers death to be an unpleasant subject. Most people do not wish to discuss their own death or even thinking about it. On the other hand, they are bombarded by television and movie scenes of people dying in every imaginable way and by stories and images of real deaths featured by the media. To most people, the death of strangers may appear to be a normal aspect of life. Still, when it comes to the death of a loved one or to our own death, there is nothing normal about it. This is because as humans, we have a deep-seated natural desire to live. We also possess a keen sense of time and a perception of eternity. King Solomon wrote that God has "planted eternity in men's hearts" Ecclesiates 3 v 11. Humans not only desire to live indefinitely but also have the potential to remain busy and productive forever. There seems to be no limit to a person’s capacity to learn. It has been said that nothing in nature compares with the human brain when it comes to complexity and resilience. Unlike animals, we have creative minds capable of reasoning and understanding abstract concepts. Scientists have barely scratched the surface when it comes to understanding the potential of the human brain. The Bible compares death to a deep sleep. Jesus, prior to resurrecting Lazarus explained “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.” And Jesus did just that! The Bible says that when he called, “the man [Lazarus] that had been dead came out” from the “memorial tomb”​—fully alive once again!​—John 11:11, 38-44. Man has a natural desire to live continuously. Where would you want to live forever? Would you be satisfied knowing that after death you would keep on living as part of an abstract universal life force, as some religions teach? Would you desire to continue your existence as a different person, with no memories of who you were before dying? Does it appeal to you to come back to life as an animal or a tree? Given the choice, would you really want to live in a world devoid of all human experience and earthly joys? Would you like to live on a paradise earth? No pain, sorrow, worries etc. Everyone united in peace and happiness? So there is no need to have a morbid fear of death, nor worry about eternity of torture in a fiery furnace, or a time of wandering around in a state of non existence. God has a limitless memory and he promises the resurrection of life back here on earth.
    • bostjan the adequate 🥉
      But we know that memories are not some indellible things made of spiritual energy. People forget things all of the time. That just doesn't jive with the worldview you are proposing.
  • This is a great question. What happens when we die? SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE that we live on in another form, while others feel that death is the end of everything. What do you believe? WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS “The dead know nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) When we die, we cease to exist. WHAT ELSE WE LEARN FROM THE BIBLE The first man, Adam, returned to the dust when he died. (Genesis 2:7; 3:19) Likewise, all others who die return to the dust.​—Ecclesiastes 3:19, 20. People who die are acquitted of, or pardoned for, their sins. (Romans 6:7) There is no further punishment for sin after a person dies. Can the dead live again? WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? Yes No Maybe WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS “There is going to be a resurrection.”​—Acts 24:15. WHAT ELSE CAN WE LEARN FROM THE BIBLE? The Bible often compares death to sleep. (John 11:11-14) God can awaken the dead, just as we can awaken a person from sleep.​—Job 14:13-15. The Bible records several resurrections, thus giving us a solid basis for believing that the dead will be raised up.​—1 Kings 17:17-24; Luke 7:11-17; John 11:39-44.

  • According to my religion which is based upon the holy Bible when a person dies they're dead they lay in the ground they rot and they have no consciousness whatsoever they have the hope of a resurrection at the time that God resurrects people
  • My religion is "none" so I'm betting on nothing happening.
  • The general consensus is that you'll go to heaven when you die - this belief is reflected in most of these comments. But John 3:13 states: " No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven— the Son of Man." This includes Noah, Moses, and even Adam and Eve. So it stands to reason that we, as mortals, will never go to heaven. A couple of Bible passages addresses this question: 1) 2 Peter 3:12 - "as you anticipate and hasten the coming of the day of God when the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will melt in the heat." and 2) Revelation 21:1 - "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more." If you go to the Book of Matthew Chapter 5, one can understand why understanding the Bible is so difficult, especially on this particular subject. Verse 3 states: "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven," while just two verses later we see in Verse 5: "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." This sounds like a contradiction - but it isn't. Although Verse 3 is grammatically correct for what it says, the way it's interpreted is wrong. If you'll look in a dictionary, you'll find that the word "of" means "from". This makes Verse 5 accurate and also supports the quote from Jesus when he said: "In my Father's house are many mansions...". The "kingdom" in this case pertains to one of those mansions - the kingdom that Jesus will rule on a rebuilt earth. So then, what happens in the meantime - after you die until the end of the earth? The answer to this question is "nothing". You go into a deep sleep until the time comes to rise again. It is said that man is the only creature that is affected by time - because he is the only one who measures it. When you die, time stops for the individual, and the transition between death and a new life is but a moment's pause for that person, even though thousands of years might have passed for the rest of us.
  • As a Bible student I can only talk to what the Bible says about this subject. Starting in Genesis 3:19 the penalty for Adam and Eve's disobedience was death. "In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” Where was Adam and Eve before they were created? The Bible says they were dust and that they returned to being dust after they died. Now Ecclesiastes 9:5 says "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten." KJV and verse 10 says "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest." KJV Now add that those verses to Ecclesiastes 3:20 "All are going to the same place. They all come from the dust, and they all are returning to the dust." NWT the KJV says "All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again." So as you can see these few scriptures' show the when you die you are dead and don't know anything at all. You might say that from the "Old Testament". Well did you you know that Jesus' made a reference that death was like being asleep? In John 11: 13-14 "Jesus, however, had spoken about his death. But they imagined he was speaking about taking rest in sleep.14 Then Jesus said to them plainly: “Lazʹa·rus has died," Now the Bible does speak of going to heaven after you die.
