Do you believe that the human soul lives on after death?

Question

Wsx2wsx2ws · Accepted Answer

No. Not according to what I read. Most people think its from the bible but that does not teach that either.
Genesis shows Adam BECAME a living soul. I did not receive one. - Gen 2:7*
After Adam sinned where did Adam go?
Before Adam sinned - "day you eat from it you will certainly die."
After Adam sinned - "until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. x For dust you are and to dust you will return.”
Is Adam the only one?
Psalm 104:29
When you hide your face, they are disturbed. If you take away their spirit, they die and return to the dust.
Ecclesiastes 3:20
All are going to the same place. They all come from the dust, and they all are returning to the dust.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going.
____
Life after death is a resurrection. If you still live on why would you be resurrected?
Isaiah 26:19
“Your dead will live. My corpses will rise up. Awake and shout joyfully, You residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of the morning, And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life."
Acts 24:15
"And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."
----
*Lastly the word for Soul in the bible means breather. So Adam became a living breather. We are told that the soul/life is in the blood at Genesis 9:4 and Leviticus 17:11

So I have no reason to believe in mysterious souls that come back to do what ever people think they do. Nor am I overly concerned about what will happen when I die. The time will pass instantly between my death and resurrection from my perspective.
And I am not worried about any loved one's who die as they are not in pain, nor tortured, they are simply unconscious/ sleeping till they are awakened.
“Lazʹa·rus our friend has fallen asleep, but I am traveling there to awaken him.” ... Then Jesus said to them plainly: “Lazʹa·rus has died" - John11:11-14

Nope, I died once, and there was nothing, like I didn't even know it had happened until long after in the hospital. It hurts like all hell coming back. Anyway, it's something I'd like to believe, if not for myself then the people I care about. That perhaps I just went to hell for that period of time, as hell is supposed to be the absence of god, and that's what I experienced, maybe other people, particularly other family members and friends, have had, or will have a different draw out of that hat.

It's something to hope for, but not something I can believe in. When your heart stops, everything stops, if you're lucky that isn't forever, if you don't come back, then it is.

I believe that human mind is like a very complex and a highly sophisticated computer.

When we die, our brain - our processor - dies as well and with that, our consciousness, our memories, everything we used to love and everything we used to be - perishes forever.

Our energy stays… Probably, that’s all.

menina · Accepted Answer

I believe that nothing happens when we die. Our body just stops working.
It's funny that I come across your question now because I was just thinking about a friend of mine who died last year. It's so weird to say that he passed away.

ohshee · Answer

We are made of water and atoms atoms broke down equals energy they say energy lives forever

I believe we have a soul is Spirit and our energy and that is who we truly are it's our guide is our teacher it warns us it can also communicate without communicating but if our body is our Temple it has to house something very special and I believe it does protect our soul or Spirit at our energy the whole planet is made of energy vibration everything vibrates vibration is energy I believe when we die our energy gathers our soul or spirit everything that we have done and said and experienced we take with us and I delivery probably going to another dimension I think a lot of us have been here before but yes I do believe that that we do if you understand energy it would totally Amaze you the things that we can do

Whatever2929292 · Answer

Yes I do I am very Christian. I think that when we die we go to heaven or we go to hell. But the soul keeps living.

Now I am pretty sure at some point and this is just what I think for now unless God changes my opinion and shows me something else that once people are dumped into the lake of fire they are gone... Just done for.

But that is a long time away.

There are so many versions from Christians on what happens after death it really gets frustrating. Whatever it is I just want to be right with God so I am into heaven and not thrown into hell I know that for sure

RolandCuthbert · Answer

It depends on what you are calling a "Soul". You mean awareness, consciousness. . .

You know that consciousness isn't just a religious belief, right?

There are plenty of real scientific theories on consciousness. And it has to be explained if science is ever to figure out the nature of reality.

Losalt · Answer

No.
I don't believe in souls.
To me the human mind, all the thoughts that we have is nothing more than just the dynamic physical pattern of electrical and chemical signals in our brain.
And if you could copy all the connections, the chemical states, the positions of everything in the brain, you'd have a exact copy that would be just as much you as you are in my view.
Of course, quantum mechanics indicates that actually making a exact copy probably is impossible...

PJH359 · Answer

My faith has changed over the years due to personal experiences and a lot of negative activity in the Christian churches. I used to believe wholeheartedly in eternal afterlife. Nowadays I’m just not too sure about anything related to the Bible/religion.

Blondoe · Answer

I don't believe there is such thing as a soul,

I do believe we are just animals who lost their instincts and needs because of progression and we are now lost in a playground that has no use to us.

Believing that we are something more is just another way to justify the fact that we got this far, when in reality its probably just the worst accident mother nature made.

When we die we are nothing more than a carcass, emptiness is what follows and this belief actually makes me wonder why people in really hard situations don't just take the easy way out more often.

Secretlyy · Answer

Based on my supernatural encounters; yes I do believe that our soul is who we truly are and our bodies are an outer shell. When we die; the soul will leave the physical world and depart from its body and move on to the next destination in the afterlife!

Anonymous · Answer

I know it does because someone close to me saw God while he was awake not on medications and not asleep while he was awake in hospital before treatment so you can’t blame hallucinations. And this guy wasn’t even religious but changed completely after this. Not only this but how do you explain the holy fire that appears at Jesus’s tomb every Orthodox Easter. YouTube it. Even events that are happening in the world now are in revelation. Countless miracles happen but they happen in the Orthodox faith which unfortunately not a lot of people know about but it’s the original Christian faith. Unchanged.

VV3ZZY · Answer

"Before & After" can only be experienced by having memories.
Without a working brain, we can't experience time. So in a way, we live for eternity, in the time we were alive. Nothing can change the fact that you once existed. It is eternal.

Jamesshinobi · Answer

i know it does. I've seen ghosts and so have 2 of my daughters. i remember past lives. i do not understand how time and space corrilate with life and death but i am certain that begining and end has nothing to do with any of it. "oh wow!" - Steve Jobs last words in this time and space.

Staximus · Answer

I don't know, I've seen and heard some crazy shit. It was either ghosts or energy of past lives trapped in the Earth's magnetic field. Never saw or heard anything like that even when I was on enough acid to fry 4 people. A few people including me saw ghosts or something at the 100 year old house I used to live in. As far as heaven or hell, I can't speculate on that because I'm not dead yet.

genericname85 · Answer

Well what do you think the "soul" is? Your character? Your personality? Well that's all "ego" psychologically speaking and that being a function of the brain, will be gone after you're dead and your brain stops working.

Vichara · Answer

From direct experience I know it does. I know it just as much as any physical fact in my surroundings like, “the tree is there”. There aren’t any religious beliefs or narratives I attach to this knowing, only the mystical experiences that have made it undeniable.

wolfunknown · Answer

I hope not Living forever as a body or soul is scary.  Would you work or persue a hobby if you knew you had forever. There is no point of eternal life it has no purpose.

Fa1con · Answer

I simply believe that the human experience doesn't cover everything that exists. Put more simply there must be more to the world than humans can see, measure, or imagine. If there is something beyond death we may all well experience it.

We don't have a soul... We are a soul. We have a body as a vehicle for it. We are the soul that inhabits the body.
