What happens to us when we die?

Comments

People may argue that after death comes judgement or something like that.. People may say its either you go to heaven or hell as if they have been to either heaven or hell before.

Some will say one will just cease to exist.but the honest truth is :Nobody knows what will happen when we die.This is one question that is beyond the human domain of understanding.. And we will keep looking for answers, gasping into the darkness of our ignorance until we leave this world.

From my knowledge i believe that when we die, it's only our bodies that die, but our souls ascend to heaven.

Answer 1

From religious perspective, both Islam and Christianity, when a person dies, they remain in the earth and await resurrection for judgment day. Judgment day is the day when God decides to bring the world to an end and awake everyone who has ever walked the surface of the earth to account for all their earth deeds which will be used to decide if they make heaven or hell. So, your answer drawing from religion n will be heaven or hell, that's where we go after death.

However, not everybody is religious or even believe in God to begin with. Hence, it's likely that there are several other theories which some people might believe is the final destination for after life. The Vikings for instance believe in what they call Valhalla, a heaven like place where Gods and men will live forever drinking ales and engaging in regular combat.
Science shouldn't be left out of this topics as it has made believers out of almost everyone through our daily use of science based technologies. Although science is yet to answer the question of life after death with real facts, several unproven scientific theories have been spoken off. The most widely spoke about is the far fetched theory on parallel worlds. Through this theory, It is believed that when we die, our souls begin a new journey of life in a world that is almost like ours, but possibly works in an opposite manner. This theory got it's basis through people who have had N.D.E, near death experience. Theses are people who died for a short period of time but were immediately brought back to life. Almost all of them shared the same experience as they claim to have been in world quiet similar to ours, but different in some other ways. Some said it was like a magical world where they felt no pain and had certain abilities as opposed to life in the real world. People who also woke uo from comas have also claim to have had such emotional and experiences too.
Be I heaven or hell, Valhalla or a parallel universe, no one knows for sure what happens after death. We can only assume through our different faiths, beliefs, and sense of personal reasoning and understand. I guess we all will find out eventually.

Answer 2

When we die, our bodies decompose. Our skin and muscles break down and are replaced by bacteria and other organisms. Our bones dissolve and are replaced by minerals and other substances. Our organs and tissues are destroyed and replaced by new cells. Our DNA is broken down and recycled.

Answer 3

Well,I will be answering this from the Biblical point of view. As a Christian the Bible says after death comes judgement to enable one know where one will be after death. The bible talked about heaven for the righteous and hell for the sinners though other groups like the Catholics believed in purgatory which I don't know how true that is but what I'm sure is real is heaven and hell.

So when once one dies the spirit which is the soul leaves immediately to stand before the judgement throne to be judged while the body which was like the house is buried and it remains there to rot away.

So it behoves on us to repent and only do what is right so that we will be able to get to heaven and enjoyed the beautiful place God has kept for us.

Death is actually inevitable by every being. Meaning, no matter how rich, poor, short and tall you're. Death will come knocking sooner or later and after death. Another very long journey begins. Meanwhile, the explanation to what happens after death depends on religion injunction you belong  and certainly determines the comprehension. After the angel of death takes our life, as it is explained and detail in Islam; the reminant will undergoes some Islamic process before burial. It is therefore, explained that during those process even the deceased is always present and calling names people won't hear or see him/her. Then after burial. Two angels will appear before the dead to ask very important questions like;who is your God, your prophet, your book you believe in and many more. Thus, the response tto each questions determines the weight of punishment. It is from this point that some dead begins to enjoy their grave while reverse is the case for some. The time in the grave will continue like that till the judgement day, when all soul shall wake and stand before God to accounts for all deedf

Answer 5

There are two major opinions about this question,  the people who practices religions like Islam and Christianity believe there is life after death which is the existence with activities that involve questioning and answering  before judgement day while those who believe that there is nothing like religion believes that after death nothing else, this is to an extent that some people believes that when they die they should not be buried but be deposited in the hospital for medical students to use for their practical analysis.
In an Islamic perspective,  it is believed that we are all on errands in this earth and once our assignment is over we return to give account,  so when someone dies as  a  Muslim , the body is buried almost immediately according to Islamic ruling,  then the angels takes over with interrogation and the dead rise again to give full details of every activities he or she engaged on while on earth using the hand as Biro,  the saliva as ink and the rapped cloth as paper. The account giving will determine if the final abode is hell or heaven.

Answer 6

Nobody really knows what happens when we die. There's no record of anyone who has died, seen the after life and is back again to tell the story. If you are a believer, you'll be familiar with what your scripture says about life after death. It talks about heaven and earth.

Relatively, all religions tells you to be good so that you can go to heaven. If you are totally bad and unrepentant, you are likely to go to hell according to the scriptures. Still, we don't write our fate and we cannot say for sure.
Only when we die actually can we really find out the truth about it. Unfortunately, after death, we cannot come back to tell the living what it really is. Although some folks claim to have experienced what it means to die and be back.

Answer 7

When we die, we drop the physical body, the soul emergies as dark or clean or stained depending on the activities of the person during his or her life here on Earth. The law of attraction takes effect in lifting a pure soul upwards towards paradise or a dark soul downward towards hell. There is no hiding under the physical body after death, the soul stands as he or she is.

Answer 10

In my side as Christian if we dies we goes to hades or seoul, the dwelling place of the dead there we will wait for the judgement day of Christ. Hebrews 9:27 says that "And in as much as it is reserved for men to die once, and after this comes judgement", so until Christ has not yet come all people are destined to die but if Christ return there are still living remains on earth and will be caught up together with the dead that has been resurrected. Now in the part of the dead there are two types of resurrection, first resurrection will happens to those who have faith in Christ according to 1st Thessalonians 4:14,16. They will participate reigning together with Christ for about 1000 years, then 1000 years after the second resurrection happens to those who doesn't have faith in Christ or didn't accept Christ in their life as God and Savior, they are the one who will be  judge for the lake of fire. For those who avail the first resurrection Revelation 20:6 says "Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priest of God and Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years" the second death stated means the death in the lake of fire or hell...

Answer 11

The scientific understanding of what happens to the body after death is that all physical and biological processes cease. The heart stops beating, blood circulation stops, and all brain activity ceases. The body begins to undergo decomposition as microorganisms break down organic matter. However, what happens to a person's consciousness, soul, or spirit after death is a matter of belief and is not scientifically proven. Different cultures, religions, and philosophical beliefs have various interpretations of the afterlife and what happens to the consciousness after death. Some believe in an afterlife in a specific place, such as heaven or hell, while others believe in reincarnation or the idea that consciousness simply ceases to exist after death. It is important to note that the question of what happens to a person's consciousness after death is not a matter that can be scientifically proven and remains a matter of personal belief. Different beliefs exist, and it is up to each individual to determine their own beliefs based on their experiences, values, and cultural or religious background.
