If u belive that jesus died for your sins then he grants you everlasting life with him in heven
I find it disturbing that we do not know. I find it disturbing that each culture teaches a religion of its own, and usually more than one, but each as if it is the only answer. This is illogical. It is illogical that Catholics think they are the only ones going to heaven. It is illogical that Baptists think the same ... and you better be the "right kind" of Baptist to boot. Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses use the same book and yet have different ideas. Christianity comes from Judaism, and yet when Jesus said to do things different from the Jews, Catholics copied many of the same failings. It is exhausting. I feel like we are being tricked. How can the Old Testament say things so sternly and that we are so evil, and then Jesus comes and says he can get us forgiven if we believe. If we believe? How can we believe when it's all so confusing and illogical? Just give us the straight, short truth without a huge book that makes women particularly feel worthless, and therefore assume that men wrote it from a cultural view that is not actually true. It should all be true and straightforward and explain instead of telling stories without explanation. Do you know a donkey spoke to a man in the Bible? Spoke out loud to him. That's what it says.
God gave you the brains to type. So it should be easy for him to make a donkey talk.
But we do know, we have observed it countless times throughout history. We observe it every day. We lose consciousness, the organs ans systems throughout our body stop functioning, and our bodies start to decompose. If we didn't know this is what happens when you die, we wouldn't be able to recognize that someone was dead.
The reason religious explanations are contradictory is because they are nonsense fairly tales that people use to delude themselves into believing something illogical that is completely contradictory to what we can clearly observe.
Your body rots and there is nothing. Death is the end, forever and ever, I hope.
Infinite nothingness. Contradictory, but the idea is kind of beautiful.
When I die, I want to be gone.
Religion came about as a very flawed and primitive response to unknowns. People are afraid of even thinking of being nothing.
Nothing, not blackness, nothing. People desperately want to believe that their personality and who they are is some living thing that can go somewhere else or be something else. It's not. We die and our identity dies with us. It's the result of an overly complex human thought process, not a mystical being.
I think you just sleep for a long time and they you eventually wake up a choose you family and go back to earth to complete your spiritual mission, to experience, etc. You get reborn after a eternal sleep
You can't be sure unless you actually die(I myself believe that we can be reborn in another life)
a) Nobody knows. Nobody can know.
b) I think that my conscience will die with me. Everything we know about the brain and the mind seems to point that way. My body will decompose, obviously.
There's a bit more Atheists than I expected. (Just an observation, not trying to say something.)
It depends upon:
1. How righteous you were
2. The quantity and severity of your sins
3. Any absolvation you seeked / received
4. other factors
Result: Paradise or Hell.
Nothing is ever destroyed. We know electrical impulses stop. The mind is our thoughts and who we are. We may not be corporieal and exist in a new relm.
