What do you think happens after you die ?

[Ella2001]

I’m waiting on “you’ll be dead and that’s that“ 🤣
but genuinely curious as to what everyone else thinks happens , I know it’ll be like before you were born , you won’t know but what if after life/recantation is a thing ? I’ve come to terms with the fact tomorrow isn’t promised but what if there’s afterlife and we get born into a horrible abusive family ? In that case I think I’d rather just be nothing ? What you all think ? Love to read these threads thought I’d make one myself 😆

I will become dust in the wind.

Really interesting answers , death doesn’t scare me cause I feel like you just won’t know you are but it’s the way you die that scares me . Will it be painful? Like being aware that you’re dying and being aware of it scares me , all I can hope is that I die an old lady in her sleep! But I feel like you’d have to be really lucky .

Just in case everyone, I've read in buddhism books to go towards the dim blue lights to be reborn in the human realm, and go towards mansions for a more privileged life

Or is it the bright blue lights better check

I watched two parents die horrible deaths. Modern medicine only prolonged their agony. Neither process of death was peaceful.
So I hope death itself is a peaceful end and that there is simply nothing, and all that remains are memories living on with those left behind. It's why it's important for me to achieve, or at least be remembered as a good person.

Fortunately, my parents, while they could be difficult at times, did achieve, and were pretty unforgettable in their characters. My own children, now grown often say 'granny would have approved' or ask 'what would gramps have done?' That's quite nice I think.

I don’t believe anything supernatural or spiritual happens after you die, I think that’s just it, the end. I’d like to come back as a friendly ghost if I could.

I get curious though about the logistics of meeting up with loved ones when you die. What happens if you’ve been married more than once, do you get both (or more) partners back even if they don’t like each other? What happens if you loved someone but they fell out of love with you do you still get to reunite with that loved one? I wonder who’s in charge of sorting all this out, it makes me think of diplomatic table placements at a wedding. Do you have to stay with these people (even if you love them) all the time, like a never ending Christmas visit?

I’m sorry to hear that. My mum passed away this year and it was very peaceful, she went in her sleep and I’m grateful for that.

Nothing happens

But what's the point of actually being alive if you die and there's just more with the people you've already been on earth with? It makes no sense to me.

I don't really care.

I believe once we die that is an end to us in all ways , bodily , spiritually . Our life is over .

I think anything else is dreamed up by those hoping to keep us near and denial that we've gone .

“…people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,”
Hebrews 9: 27

That’s what happens.

The Bible teaches that humans are a triune being -comprising body, soul and spirit.

When our bodies die our soul and spirit continue to exist either with the Lord Jesus Christ, first waiting in a peaceful state until the day each person receives a new physical body to enjoy glorious, joyful eternal life or else cut off from Him in suffering and torment in Hades while awaiting the judgement day.

At His Second Coming Jesus will return to the earth and those who belong to Him will be resurrected physically into immortal bodies like His immortal body when He rose from the dead on the third day.

A thousand years after His return the rest of the dead will also be physically resurrected to face their judgement. The Lord Jesus Christ will be the Judge.

“Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Revelation 20:11-15

The fate of those who belong to the Lord Jesus Christ (those who have put their faith in Him) is gloriously wonderful
“ And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:4

There is a permanent and irrevocable separation between those who are God’s children and those whom He does not know, the ones who have rejected His offer of salvation.

All the shit that I have to deal with stops. I can't wait.

You'll realise that this is all a dream.

I believe that I will go to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and be with Him for eternity.

Doing what though? Eternity is a long time just to be hanging about with Jesus.

I think there is nothing but we all will know nothing about it - the same as before you were born.

I think it's like a character in a video game. When it gets killed it's gone. There's nothing there. Nothing. Switched off.

Like turning off a light and the bulb blows. It's gone. Dead. You can't reboot the bulb.

I am sick with envy of anyone who believes they will be reunited with loved ones in some heavenly plain because it must give great comfort after bereavement.

The closest thing you will ever get to death without dying is general anaesthetic.
I'm not scared of dying .
What l am scared of is a painful death .
Also it's the mental pain l feel now for my daughters and Grandchildren.. we are so close.
I have actually paid for and sorted my funeral.. so it's one less worry for them.
I'm a Spiritualist so my religion helps me enormously.

I’m in the you’ll be dead and that’s that camp.

That’s your choice.

And if nothing changes you will get what you have chosen 👉🏻 eternity without God.

No one is forced to be with Him.

I pray you will come to faith in Jesus in time 🙏🏻

Ha yes I always wondered about remarriage. My mum and dad divorced 20 years ago. She remarried and is widowed. My dad would happily spend eternity with her but she doesn't feel the same!

I had a near death experience when I had dental gas in the 70s.

I had something close to that perception when I had an OBE. It was more that things in this world don't really matter there

To some extent it hasn’t all been revealed- but we will be fully, physically alive, enjoying perfect peace and fulfillment, in the actual, literal presence of God, with all of those who belong to Him, right back through all the ages, without any pain, tears, suffering, or sadness.

There’s only been glimpses of how wonderful and glorious it’s going to be.

I’m a Christian, so what the Bible says about resurrection:

Look, I will tell you a mystery! We will not all die,but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For this perishable body must put on imperishability, and this mortal body must put on immortality. 54 When this perishable body puts on imperishability and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will be fulfilled:
“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”

(From 1 Corinthians 15)
