I'm just curious of what you all think about what happens after death. Nothing? Your soul departs your body and goes somewhere? Your soul is reincarnated in another human body? What do you think?
Good question. I'm sure we all have our ideas.I'm just curious of what you all think about what happens after death. Nothing? Your soul departs your body and goes somewhere? Your soul is reincarnated in another human body? What do you think?
You/your soul dies, only when/if God resurrects you, will you live again...even Job recognized that fact and placed his hope in the resurrection...Job 14...I'm just curious of what you all think about what happens after death. Nothing? Your soul departs your body and goes somewhere? Your soul is reincarnated in another human body? What do you think?
I consider it to be much like sleep. One feature of it is that there is no awareness of time. From the moment you fall asleep to when you awake you have no awareness of how much time has elapsed without the aid of time keeper. The body eventually will get absorbed into the elements it's composed of -- "from dust thou are, unto dust you shall return". I consider the "soul" being the mind which is imo related to sleep. In death, so it's said, there is no more remembrance. Where it is is a mystery. I tend to think it's in the "mind of God". Waiting to be placed into a new created "body".I'm just curious of what you all think about what happens after death. Nothing? Your soul departs your body and goes somewhere? Your soul is reincarnated in another human body? What do you think?

I read somewhere that when Jesus appeared to some women after his resurrection they didn't know who he was until he "revealed" himself to them. Perhaps, everyone will only see the ones they loved as they remembered them best. Or how they wish to remember them. Doesn't make much sense to be resurrected into a body that was crippled or deformed.I think of it as a “fade to black.”
I was exposed to the Episcopalian version of organized religion growing up. Somewhere during catechism class I left and never returned. I have heard people say that they will see their relatives who have pre-deceased them when they also pass. I have often wondered how they will recognize those relatives.
Let’s use someone’s grandmother as an example; you knew her at the latter stages of her earthly life. Will she present herself as that older woman? She had many stages of her life and many people that she interacted with when she was alive. How will all the people that knew her recognize her?
Those are the only two options?Nothing happens. If you've ever been under anesthesia for an operation, when the operation may have lasted a couple of hrs, but you don't remember a thing, that's what death is like. As if those hrs were a minute, after going unconscious with nurses and docs all around you, hanging over you, you wake up with just a couple of people nearby disconnecting and wheeling you away. Except, in death, you never regain consciousness. Never come out from under. No dreaming. No nothing. That's death. Unimaginable. Not even a thought of darkness. Or, you go to heaven, strum a harp on a cloud, meet again all your past relatives and loved ones in charming replete and graze in the nourishing grass of God and Christ your savior. Jews, Muslims, et al need not apply.
I suppose those are all options which people of different beliefs could espouse. But each person participating in this discussion can only give their own opinion of what happens.Those are the only two options?
What about 72 virgins?
Or reincarnation as a sea-slug?
Or perhaps just a re-birth in one of the many multi-verses we're unaware of?
Not to mention having some serious one-on-one time with Satan?

Hilarious song!!!The worms go in
the worms go out
the worms play pinochle on your snout
Nothing happens, absolutely nothing. Dead means the end, bye bye nothing more to experience.I'm just curious of what you all think about what happens after death. Nothing? Your soul departs your body and goes somewhere? Your soul is reincarnated in another human body? What do you think?
Yea, I noted that also but I just chose to ignore it. It didn’t deserve a response imho.To be fair he added this part:
after I'd quoted him, but before I'd posted my part.
There is no soul, at least no eternal soul. Some sort of judgment, death for non-believers, eternal life for those who have put their faith in Christ.
So this non-existent god and his non-existent son would be so petty to deny "heaven" (which also does not exist) based on them not believing in christ? So the most peaceful/kind/most generous/life saving/saint like figure that lives in a country would be denied based on some doctrine? Sounds totally nonsense.There is no soul, at least no eternal soul. Some sort of judgment, death for non-believers, eternal life for those who have put their faith in Christ.
Likely true but BORING!Nothing happens. If you've ever been under anesthesia for an operation, when the operation may have lasted a couple of hrs, but you don't remember a thing, that's what death is like.

I think Biblically conditionalism (eternal existence is conditional on faith in Christ) is the most accurate. Complete death death and destruction, unless one takes the free gift of immortality offered freely.Hmmm.... so your human body will live eternally?
