Is it possible to assure where our soul will go after our death?
more_vert

I'm a disciple of Jesus Christ.  Jesus came to earth, preached the Good News, completed His mission and returned to heaven.  Before leaving, He said He would come again.  During His ministry while He walked the earth, before He was crucified, He told His disciples "If you die in your sins, where I am you can not come."  So if I want to assure where my soul goes after death it's simple.  Don't die in my sins!

I don't think we can assume but we can assure if we will be following the God's command to us, repent our sins and be like Jesus Christ. If we do what it takes and start now, then God will see it. We still have chances, that is the bible is trying to tell us. We just need to follow God's rule and do not attempt to sin again. However, since we are only human, we are prone to making mistakes. Once we make a mistakes we just need to ask forgiveness from God. Pray to him to save our souls because we want to go to heaven. If you are a sinner and you are not doing anything about it, then you can assume where your souls is going, but that is not what God want us to think. He wants us to be with him and he want us to receive his gift to us and that is eternal life.

Yes, it is determinable by an individual where his/her soul is going to abode after death. This is very much possible through the activities one engaged in while sojourning on earth. There is no difficulty in ascertaining where one is going to spend eternity because one can easily judge his/her self from sum of all the good or bad one has done.

Meanwhile, it could be a vague affair if one is not self conscious where he/she is going to in life after death. These group of persons could be correctly adjudged as suffering from spiritual ignorance. They are those that obstinately refuse to pay attention to the yearnings of their souls. And there is nothing that can save them on the judgment day, not even their conscious ignorance. And they are going to fall under the category of those that did wrong, which are going to be thrown into the lake of hell fire.

As for those that are good doers such as those that are clean at heart and harm nobody, are those that are going to dwell eternally in heaven.

It's very easy to figure out where one's soul is going to after death because you can tell when you are doing good or bad with the help of your inner compass.

This question has been asked morethan a million tines. Christianity and Islam, the two major religions have without any doubt assured humans of life after death, which will begin with God's verdict on individual souls, also referred to as judgment day. Hence, all souls will be sentenced to either heaven or hell depending on their earthly deeds. It is only right we choose heaven or hell to as the destination of afterlife.

However, not all humans are Christians or Muslims who believe in heaven or hell. This is when uncertainty comes to play as many other minor religions have different narratives on life after death. Vikings for instance believes in Valhalla, an un-earthly heaven like place, where warriors will be brought in by valkaries to live amongst gods for eternity.

Science can not be left out on this topic, it qualifies as system of belief in someway. I think the religion of science is called Scientology. Even without mentioning Scientology, science has made believers out of every other religion with over half of the world using it's instruments. But unfortunately, science is yet to give any solid answer on the subject of life after death.

The closest science has achieved to explaining life after death lies with people who have experienced, N.D.E (Near death experience). These are people who actually died for some short periods of time but was awaken. Most of them shared similar stories when they returned to life. Some claimed to have crossover to a place with unlimited space and time. Others like Anita Moorjani, a cancer patient who slipped into a coma in 2006 said her's was a beautiful place, so incredible it took away all her pain. She experienced herself above her body giving her 360-degrees peripheral view of the entire area. She said she also got united with her late father on the other who told her to return as it wasn't quiet her time to be there.

Be it heaven or hell, Valhalla or a magical place of unlimited time and space, whatever you may believe, the after life surely does exist. I guess someday everyone will find out which belief has it right on afterlife.

No we're not assured where our hearts will go but they normally say that it usually goes to 'pagatory' a place where all the dead souls rest as they await for the second coming of Jesus. No one knows whether this pagatory really exists or not because no one has gone there and come back to prove to us that in real sense it exists. Its just a matter of believing and having Faith. As a Christian its good to be hopefully that after death we will be resurrected.
Actually, lots of things are indicated in the Bible and are said or believed that  one day they'll come to pass. Generally, when we die our souls are placed somewhere by the Angles to rest.The moment you die, your soul paves way because you body is clay and will soon perish. It's just a matter of being  patient as we await the second coming of Jesus.

As a Christian I will answer in the affirmative that each soul knows where it will be going because the bible let us know that only the righteous will inherit the kingdom of God and of course the righteous are those that have repented of their sin and have stopped sinning and have declared that Jesus Christ is our lord and personal saviour.

Sinners will find themselves in hell where gnashing of teeth and suffering is found and the righteous will live a glorious life in heaven.So our deeds on earth will show us to our place when we die.Inheriting the kingdom of God is simple, we all need to refrain from sin,obey all God's words, principles and commandments. He said even though we are imperfect but he will makes us perfect in him so that we can make heaven.

We are not allowed to know what happens when we die unless we are to believe those people who claim to have experienced Near Death Experiences or what we read in the Bible. I am not a particularly religious person but I don't believe it is the end when we die  and I have this notion that we could be accountable for our actions, judged on how we have lived and treated others when we are on this earth. I'm not perfect and I haven't always been kind but I like to think I did my best so if there is a place we go to after death I hope it will be a good place,

I read quite a lot on reincarnation and I am of the opinion that at least some of us are sent back to an earthly life until we have learned certain lessons.  Perhaps those people whose lives have been cut short through no fault of their own or maybe those who need to correct serious mistakes while they were here the first time.  But it's just a notion because none of us know for certain what will happen after we die.

The decision to what is right and wrong is giving to men while the onimus of judgement is supreme to God. It might be possible to ascertain tthat someone is going to heaven or hell. Though, I doubt if anybody will wish his/her deceased family hell, but since heaven and hell are both real, they will surely be filled with inhabitants on judgement day. However, it is possible to presumed that a person will make heaven judging from his/her doings or deon earth. Some person actually lived a selfless life of humanity and in fear of God. They don't act unless it us right commanded by God. People look upon them for advice and guidance to the right paths. And on the contrary, some person will also be known to have clinged the free tickets of hell since they wouldn't or didn't see or think about anything beyond evils doing on health

Well, I'm of the opinion that talking about where one's soul would go when death comes is something that actually concerns only Christians or Muslims much more than other religions in the world. Since it's only Christians that believe in the existence of heaven and hell fire as the last destination of man's souls when the person dies leaving the earth behind as it's written in the scriptures that once death takes place, judgement follows immediately which determines what happens to the soul and where it's sent to either hell fire or into heaven.


But for the non believers, they don't get bothered by where their soul ends up. In fact, they only believe that everything ends here on earth and possibly don't believe the soul even existed.
It's only Christians that works on being righteous to prepare themselves for heaven.

There are two places that the soul could go after death, and that is heaven or hell. Where one goes depends on how he or she lived his or her life while here on Earth, also one's believe in the existence of after life plays an important role. We experience more of what we believe but are limited due to unbelieve.

It is possible to choose our souls destination by following God's words. If we try to live a Godly and repent of sin when we have done it then we will go to heaven when we die but if we die in our sins we will have to go through punishment until we are restored into a right relationship with God which is known as Christian Universalism.

I cannot say if where we can go after death. Since I was a young kid, it was been doctrined that we can go either in heaven or hell. It can be determined if we are in the purgatory.

As a language model created by OpenAI, I don't have personal beliefs or opinions. However, the question of what happens to the soul after death is a matter of belief and faith for many people. Different cultures, religions, and philosophical beliefs have various interpretations of the afterlife and what happens to the soul 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 the soul simply ceases to exist after death. Ultimately, the question of what happens to the soul after death is something that is not scientifically proven and remains a mystery. Different beliefs and interpretations exist, and it is up to each individual to determine their own beliefs based on their experiences, values, and cultural or religious background.

No, it is not possible to assure where our soul will go after our death. This is because our ultimate destination after death is determined by a variety of factors, including our beliefs and actions during our lifetime. Therefore, no one can guarantee what will happen to our soul after death.

Pray to him to save our souls because we want to go to heaven. If you are a sinner and you are not doing anything about it, then you can assume where your souls is going, but that is not what God want us to think. He wants us to be with him and he want us to receive his gift to us and that is eternal life.

Assurances regarding the fate of the soul after death are primarily based on individual religious or spiritual beliefs. These beliefs can vary significantly, and they often provide assurance to adherents based on the teachings and doctrines of their respective faiths. Here are some examples:

1. **Christianity:** Many Christian denominations provide assurance that the soul goes to Heaven after death if the individual has accepted Jesus Christ as their savior and lived in accordance with Christian teachings. Assurance is often based on faith in God's promise of salvation.

2. **Islam:** In Islam, the assurance of the soul's fate after death is based on one's faith and good deeds. If a person has sincerely followed the teachings of Islam and lived a righteous life, they can have assurance that they will be rewarded with a place in Heaven.

3. **Hinduism:** Hindu beliefs in karma and reincarnation offer a sense of assurance. The soul's fate is determined by one's actions and karma, and the assurance comes from the belief that one's actions in this life will influence the quality of their next life.

4. **Buddhism:** Buddhists seek assurance through the practice of the Eightfold Path and the pursuit of Nirvana. The assurance is found in the belief that by following these teachings, one can ultimately break free from the cycle of rebirth and suffering.

5. **Atheism and Agnosticism:** From a secular perspective, there may be no assurance of an afterlife, as these worldviews often do not include belief in a soul or an afterlife. Assurance is found in the appreciation of the finite nature of life and the focus on making the most of the present existence.

It's important to recognize that beliefs about the fate of the soul after death are deeply personal and often tied to one's faith, upbringing, and personal experiences. Different religious and philosophical traditions offer various assurances, but these assurances are a matter of faith and individual conviction. What provides assurance to one person may not hold the same meaning for another.
