i've thought about it.  I guess we don't know.  Maybe we wake up when we die.  But then to we go to "heaven" or do we wake up in our real life.  If this is all a dream, then have our "past lives" if we really have had past lives, other dreams as well?

Wow...i contemplate this question ALL the time.  I'm scared to think that after we die...that is the end.  So I guess for sanity's sake I try to convince myself there is more.  I don't know...this question always gets to me.

No, we don't. We end up in Hell or Heaven. I just pray that you know where you're going when death arrives... hehe.. sorry if i'm scaring you! Jesus can give you life after death.. and that is in Heaven.

Well, Mark, there's no uniform perspective on the afterlife among Christians.  I'll give you my perspective, which is that of an evangelical, non-denominational Christian.  I believe that 2 Corinthians 5:8 tells us the souls of believers will go to Heaven immediately after death and we will retain consciousness at all times.  An unrighteous person who has not accepted Jesus Christ goes immediately to a place Jesus called "torments" after death (Luke 16:23).  The unrighteous dead also retain full consciousness.  At the Rapture of the Church, the bodies of the righteous will be resurrected and reunited with their souls, which are in Heaven (1 Thes. 4:13-16).  Upon being resurrected, these bodies will be made immortal.  These immortal beings will co-rule with Jesus as kings and judges (although some will serve as priests or teachers), over those who survive the 7-year Tribulation and their future children (Rev. 6-19).  Jesus will hold an absolute monarchy, however.  There will be no kings higher than He.\n\nThe souls of the unrighteous remain in "torments" for 1,000 years after Jesus Christ's return to earth; at that time, their bodies are also resurrected, reunited with their souls and they are judged by Jesus according to the works they have done.  This is known as the "Great White Throne Judgement."  Since no one can be justified without faith, all are thrown into the "Lake of Fire," which I believe destroys the person forever; other Christians believe the punishment goes on forever, but I disagree with this.  (See Rev. 20:11-15).\n\nI am very involved with God; I view my relationship with God to be intensely personal and I feel as if He's more than a Master to me -- I feel He's my friend, too; I read the Bible daily, pray many times in a day (spontaneously, not at a set time), and evangelize to non-believers when I get the chance.  I attend Church at least once per week; twice if I'm in need.  I occasionally serve on the telephone prayer line for my Church, which has two nationally televised tv shows per week.  I have a secular job, although I have been praying for a new job with a Christian mission or other type of employer.\n\nI hope this helps.  Let me know if you need more information, I wasn't sure how detailed you wanted me to get.

We'll still exist.  We just won't be in any fit state to notice.  I know that when I die the rest of the world, along with my corpse, will continue to exist and function.  But my consciousness will no longer exist, because there will be no blood or oxygen getting to my brain to allow it to do so.

Are you seriously expecting that there are people here in Yahoo Answers (or here on Planet Earth for that matter) who KNOW what happens after death? No one knows what happens after you die. People who pretend to know are either charlatans or fools.

This is a very important question because understanding what happens to us at death determines how we live our lives.\n\nThe bible teaches us that when we die we cease to exsist. Gen 3:19 says that we came from dust and we return to dust when we die.  Ecclesiastes 9:10 says that there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol (the grave) the place to which we are all going.  Ecclesiastes 9:5 tells us that the dead are conscious of nothing at all.  Ezekiel 18:4 tells us that the soul that is sinning dies.\n\nSo there is no life after death.  Heaven is not the destination of all good people and Hell is not the destination for all bad people and unbelievers don't pass on to eternal death.\n\nHell is simply the grave, a state of non-exsistence.  It is also called Hades and Sheol.  Did you know that the bible speaks of Jesus as being in hell? Read Acts 2:22-28\n\nOur hope is found in the Sacrifice Jesus made in our behalf.  He gave his perfect life in exchange for the perfect life that Adam lost. Jesus will apply his sacrifice in our behalf in the future.  He will also bring about Armageddon to cleanse the earth of all who refuse to obey God and Jesus will destroy all other Governments.  As King of God's Kingdom he will be able to restore the earth to the paradise that Adam lost. \n\n1 Corinthians 15:20-28 says, "However, now Christ has been raised up from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep [in death]. For since death is through a man, resurrection of the dead is also through a man. For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive. But each one in his own rank: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who belong to the Christ during his presence. Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. For he must rule as king until [God] has put all enemies under his feet. As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing. For [God] “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him. But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone. \n\nAlso read Revelation 21:3-4, Psalm 37:29, 37\n\nI hope this helps.

This depends entirely on your system of belief.  We all wish we knew what happened when we die.  It is hard to believe that we will just be no more.  Mostly this is because that is the worst possible thing that could happen, to simply not exist.  Many people fantasize about elaborate afterlives because they are scared of this, or have been brought up to believe that.  It all depends on what your spirit now tells you.  The only way to find out is to die.  That is something that we all want to put off as long as possible, just in case.

I believe that I will have no afterlife.\n\nOr rather, I believe this: I cannot imagine a god so cruel as to condemn me to an eternally unchanging afterlife. Sure, I can imagine enlightenment that could last a long, long time--it would be interesting to explore the universe and unlock its mysteries, or to reincarnate over and over as different beings, up to a point--but I cannot imagine any existence for eternity without it becoming horrible.\n\nAnd thus, since I cannot believe in a god so cruel, I believe that either there will be no afterlife at all, or there will be no afterlife for the being that I consider to be "me." In other words, if what I become after my death can somehow find fulfillment in an eternal afterlife, then it won't be "me" and therefore not worth worrying about.\n\nI'm young--around 40--but don't see any reason to want an afterlife. I certainly want to not-die in this life, though. I find this life just fine, and would like to experience a lot more of it. I just don't want eternity.

Someday, like everyone else, your life on Earth will end and your physical body will die. But your spirit will not die. At the time of physical death, your spirit will go to the spirit world, where you will continue to learn and progress. After we are resurrected we will be judged and rewarded for the things we have done in this life. \nJesus Christ taught His Apostles that in His Father’s house are “many mansions” (John 14:2). Our loving Heavenly Father is anxious to reward all of His children according to their obedience to His commandments and their willingness to follow the Savior. \nThose who do these things and are worthy to return to the presence of God and Christ become “heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ” (Romans 8:17) of all that the Father has. They will return to live with Heavenly Father and with their families in His eternal glory. \nThose who choose not to follow our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will receive a reward according to what they have done in this life, but they will not enjoy the glory of living in the presence of God.

well their are two possible death and the bible says that after your first death you are judge based on if you accept or rejected Jesus and not living for him is rejecting him and then if you fail the judgment your soul is sent to hell which is a second death and you suffer for eternity but if you chose the right path then you get to spend the rest of eternity in a palace and there will only be joy

It is really funny how people have different ideas about what happens when we die. The Christendom, spiritualist, atheist and scientist all have their own idea or theory about what happens after we die.\n\nIt is hilarious because i believe in nothing more than us die, decaying, turning into dust and that's it.\n\n\nChristendom believe that, nobody will live forever and that's true. The body of the dead on goes into the grave. It decays. Their spirit immediately goes either in the presence of God or out, waiting the final resurrection. There will be a resurrection of all bodies in the end, a resurrection unto life or a resurrection unto damnation. And you are entitled to the the former if you have faith through Christ. This is funny cos i don't believe in DAMNATION.\n\nSpiritualist also think that, this earth is like a veil of illusion. The mortal mind obfuscates the spiritual truth, which is the love of God. And they think that when we die, the veil falls down, the filter is gone, and we're in that state of pure love which is God.\n\nThe atheist accepts the reality that when you die, that is the end. That is it. Therefore when they are living, life is all they can ever know. They can't know death. So we have to do our part now to make this a better life for ourselves and for the rest of humanity and all of the life on this planet.\n\nScientifically or what scientist say is that, when we die we decay and rot. NOthing more nothing less. And that is the simple part of it i believe and understand. \n\nOn the other hand, if you don't want to get decayed by fungus and bacteria, you could get mummified.

Not on this earth, no thank you.  However, because I have Jesus in my heart, once my body dies my soul will live forever in heaven.  Now that is something to look forward to.

If you don't believe in Life after Death then I would pick up the Bible. Especially if you are an atheist, how do you know what you don't believe if you haven't done your homework.

Life (as stated in the bible)...\n\ndoes not come immediately after death. It waits. Just like a man who is sound asleep. Life will come upon Christ's second coming...\n\nThat life will either be spent in heaven or in hell depending on man's deeds here.

Sure, why not?  Who is to say with any precision what happens after this life?  I have no personal rememberances of any past life, but then I don't recall what I did in June either.  \n\nMany claim that since the Bible does not endorse reincarnation directly, then reincarnation does not exist.  However, the Bible may imply it, indirectly, in three instances in the Gospels, (if I recall...LOL)  And with hundreds of millions of non-Christians, non-Muslims and non-Jewish people around the world, reincarnation is an accepted fact of life; to Hindus, to Buddhists.  \n\nAny one person answering this question, with a definite Yes, or a definite No, is just parroting what they have been told, since they cannot objectively document it.  \nIt wouldn't surprise me, if God utilized reincarnation.  \nTo say otherwise, is an example of me circumscribing God in my image.  I can't wait to see the end of this excellent movie called "Life".... or is there any end........?
