What will happen when we die?

Question

Will we become nothing, as if we never existed, or do you believe there is a life after death?

I believe there is an afterlife. God is real, and we all go somewhere when we die. Creation proves God's existence. Jesus came to die for our sins, and no matter how bad we are, if we believe that him dying on the cross was enough to pay for our sins, then we will be given eternal life. All we have to do to be saved is accept that our goodness could never be enough to get into heaven. So many people teach good works get us into heaven, but that leaves people feeling empty, worthless, and like they will never make it to heaven. So they don't care to think about their afterlife. They get stressed feeling hopeless. There are 2 ways, do or done. Do are those who think you have to do a whole list of things to get to heaven. Then there's the done list. Done= meaning Christ already did all the work so we don't have to. The Bible says eternal life (life in heaven) is a gift. If it's a gift, why would we have to work for it? Then it wouldn't ever be a gift. It'd be more of a reward. God is long-suffering always ready to forgive. All we have to do is believe Christ was good enough to pay for our sins, and all we have to do is believe that is enough. There is a difference in understanding, knowing he exists and believing in him. If there was a burning building and you were at the top, and the firefighters told you to jump out of the window and trust them they'd catch you, that's the same with Christ. You have to trust him. Once you do, there is nothing in this world that you could do to stop being his child. If you could, then it was never a gift. Your sins past, present and future were already all paid for. It's like a child and their parents. A child can get upset with their parents and tell them they don't want anything to do with them anymore, but they are still their parents. No matter what we do, we will never stop being our parents child! It's the same with God. He loves us am and wants everyone to be saved. It's so amazing not ever having to worry where I'll go when I die. If I am wrong what do I loose? Nothing. So that's why I believe in the afterlife. Proof is all around us, in every part of creation.

Since some some quantum physic experiment results differ whether they are observed by living being or not, I assume life is some kind of unknown energy or force like bosons. Every energy in our universe will be steady transformed.
Maybe we reincarnate, maybe not. However I think concept of heaven and hell is less credible than concept of reincarnation that at least could follow energy conservation law.

You already know my opinion on this question mias ellefia...

For sure you won't become a nothing, well even your dead body will be treated with respect, the ones who loves you will always visits you to pray and put flowers on youe grave (ofc after a veryyyyyy looooonnngg time 😌) but your soul will be in heaven which means you're still alive but not physically, there is no such thing as death except for our physical body but your soul will return to it's creator and what matter is your soul, your soul is you and who you are!

What is going to happen:

- many people will be happy to get a free meal at the final removal party

- a few people will pretend to be sad - for a few days

- some undertaker will rip off the ones that were close to us

- a few governmental tax employees will increase their nosiness

- some new grass will grow

The other things that may happen will go unnoticed by those who are left behind;

but I tell you so much: I'm going to have a lot of fun... and if I return every now and then, it will NOT be in a friendly way :D

I've often said that nothing at all happens, and we just fade away into oblivion, but even though that to me seems like the most logical answer to this riddle, the truth is that no one really knows. Those who are dead either can't, or choose not to, come back and tell us for some reason, and I have to admit that kind of worries me a bit. I don't want there to be an afterlife, or reincarnation. I just don't. One life has been more than enough for me!

lightbulb27 · Answer

may depend what you believe. life transformed to another life? even science says... nothing goes away, just changes form

I gotta wonder if any of the life around me are people from the past in some form. Life and consciousness really are amazing things to behold.. out of nothing, comes life... every day. I'd rather cherish life and be thankful to God than wonder about after, for this is all we know.

I suspect we just transform into something else. Existence appears to me to be a bunch of things that are constantly in the process of transformation. Even if you think about yourself from many, many years ago, that person no longer exists. She's transformed over time into who you are today. But my guess is that pretty much EVERYTHING in your life today is very different from what it was 10 years ago. The things you focus on have changed, your goals have changed, your interests have changed, etc. In that sense the current instantiation of "you" will likely die LONG before the biological entity that you refer to as "you" dies.

slatyb · Answer

There's no evidence for a life after death; no evidence that our consciousness anything but a phenomenon of the physical brain. We're like a computer program running in the memory of a fragile computer and there's no backup. When the computer crashes, the program is gone.

Nobody knows. They may believe that they know, but they don't.

Some believe in judgement - Heaven and Hell. They have all kinds of fantasies about what Heaven and Hell would be like. Some only believe in Heaven and a loving God. Some believe in reincarnation. Many people believe that we live on in one form or another. Some suspect that we just die.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to call a dead person to hear what death is like.

Dead friend “Hello this is John”
You “been awhile, miss having you here. Need to ask you what is the afterlife like?
Dead friend “I f—-ed up”

SotiCoto · Answer

The same thing that happens when you go to sleep. Except it is permanent.

It is a wonder people even need to ask this any more since literally everyone goes through non-REM sleep in their daily life. They should know what complete cessation of experience is like already.

Loner111 · Answer

I think about that from time to time... I envision dying myself, being buried in the dirt and then... I envision planet earth just continuing it's course for years and years... And me in the dirt and never again, ever coming back to what I am now...

It's really depressing...

LiamJHayden · Answer

I believe there is an afterlife. If I am wrong and we go to nothingness, I've lost nothing of value by believing. If I am correct, I gain everything. Betting current ultimately empty things for the infinite just seems logical to me.

RebelinSteel · Answer

Nothing, you are born you live, you die, worm food or ashes, that’s it, which is why we live life as much as we can

PositiveNote · Answer

There’s life after death. We are merely souls within human baddies, and the soul or spirit is not lost.

gorydetails · Answer

It’s impossible that we become nothing. We are literally made of stars. The universe is made of rules we can barely conceive of. Many things could be true but it’s just lights out, that’s it is the least plausible.

DrPepper12 · Answer

There is no life after death! That's a paleolithic story for scared humans who don't have the courage to put their childish invisible man away in the toy box where it belongs. Athiesm is the future.
