What happens when you die?
Dear sodaheads,This is something i have been thinking about lately. Is heaven a manmade philosophy? Is the truth nothing happens? I am tired of people quoting me the bible when i ask questions like this. That does not answer anything for me, Black isrealites, the Klu Klux Klan and other hate groups also quote the bible. I want to hear words coming from you not a book. Tell me what you think and why.
Love Alwayz

People quote the Bible sometimes because that's how and what they know. Sometimes it's because they have no other answer. I will tell you that for me it is because it is what I KNOW to be true. How do you know? First, because I gave my life to the Lord. But that doesn't help you, does it?
I know the same way you know the wind is there. You cannot see it but you know it's there since you can feel it. You see the results of the wind. The leaves move in the trees. Sometimes when it's strong, the results are too. Things get destroyed. But you know what it is. Prove that! You can prove the results but you cannot prove the wind exists by seeing it.
I can prove the results of what happens in my life. I cannot see the action, just the results. And I know that heaven is where I am headed. That does not mean that everyone ends up there. That question is not accurate. The club is somewhat exclusive in that you choose now where you are going to be after death. If you do not give your life to the Lord, you will not be in heaven. Period. Only through Jesus can you be in heaven. I have seen heaven. I know it exists and that I will reside there some day. -

We had a very very close friend pass away about a year and a half ago! And it was a difficult thing, but as he was laying there close to death he was mumbling something to the effect that the light was very bright and his wife asked him is it time to go and he said yes. Now he was a wonderful man of God and I fully believe that someday my husband, myself, his wife and him will all be together sitting around Praising God together like we did when he was here!! Have Faith! -

Physics tells us that energy never really stops being energy, that it merely changes form. So whatever Energy that makes Liz, Liz...or Me, me, continues on.
Personally, I believe that Earth is simply one more stop in the Continuum. I believe we were as a group before getting here....we are now individuals (which is one of the reasons we ARE here) and we will continue as individuals from here on. What's waiting? To quote a movie: Something wonderful. -

When you die, your body decomposes and your remains return to the earth.
You spirit which is energy rises and joins all the other risen sprits. (In science energy and not be created nor destroyed supporting my theory.)
I call it heaven. Jesus called it heaven and I believe in Jesus and God. People in America have the right to believe in whatever they want or believe in nothing at all. That is your choice. However, if you choose wrong in life as in any game of chance, you have to face the consequences. That could be condemnation to hell as I believe or nothing at all. The choice is yours to make. Choose wisely. Your future depends on your choices. -

Answered I just don't know
What would you like to happen? If absolutely nothing happens, would you live you life differently? Does the thought of death scare you? I tend to believe in an afterlife, but I am not sure what that means or what kind of life it will be. The human spirit seems way to complicated to be just a "one ended stick".

Our bodies go in the ground until Resurrection Day. Our spirits await that day in the spirit world. In the spirit world, there is a division between those who have lived faithful to God, and those who haven't. If one has not had a chance to believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, he/she will be presented with the opportunity. God knows our minds and our deeds in life. If one freely and sincerely accepts Christ as his/her Savior, then his/her sins will be forgiven. One will have the opportunity to accept the ordinances of salvation, beginning with baptism, done by proxy for him/her in the temples of the Lord by the living. After the resurrection, there will be a final judgment, where each person goes to his/her final residence, whether some part of heaven or the lake of fire. It's really all in our hands, but God sets the rules. -

When my third wife died from a congenital heart disease (long after her doctors predicted), she appeared to her sister 200 miles away. Her sister said that she was tall and straight (In mortal life she had been short and hunchbacked due to scoliosis). They talked. I do not now remember the content of what was said. When I heard it, I felt jealous, because I did not have that experience. But the night before her funeral, I had an experience that was even better for me. I felt a tingling all over my body and the knowledge that she was very happy where she is. The experience was so strong that I was practically giddy at the funeral. I must have seemed very strange.

(1 Peter 3:18-20)
If those who died before the Flood had the gospel preached unto them in the spirit world, then even moreso in this world so many of whom have never heard the gospel will also benefit in the spirit world, since God is not willing that any should perish. -
