Do you believe in Life after Death.

[Gustov]

Unfortunately, I'm as cynical as the majority. I believe that when we die our time is up.

Although I have no belief in any religion, I often think to myself, something or someone must have created the world. Sure there's the big bang theory but some things in the universe are just so shockingly beautiful that it's hard to believe something/someone didn't make a contribution.

 

[Lysander]

The complete imbalance in this world, makes me believe that one day everything will be balanced.

The purpose of creation is balance. The Yugas are littered with examples of opposites, extremes, and the need for balance. Everything is about restoring balance and the never-ending cycle of the universe.

 

[Vita]

So what are they doing now? Just laying there? For thousands of years?

Yes. But it's how they're laying there. Some are resting peace as you would say, others are not.

Yet, the most worst of the worst people to ever live, may be saved on the day of reckoning. By one single good deed, they may have done.

All of them? All billion trillion dead people since the end of the world? You think they are all going to be resurrected?

Seriously?

Seriously. Every person Gods created will be resurrected. And they will be judged, all justice will be done. There will be no ifs or buts, on whether one soul goes heaven or hell.

It's hard to take in, I understand. But that's just my belief.

i dont know what to believe. certain experiences make me think about the 'soul' moving on and what certain civilizations mentioned above believe . but then the science/engineering part of me makes me think that that stuff is all totally ridiculous

pretty terrifying to think about in my opinion

So what are they doing now? Just laying there? For thousands of years?

It's thousands of years for us, but it may not be for those who have passed away. Our whole perception of time will change after we die (according to Islam). One such proof of this is that once human beings are raised and called to account for their deeds, when asked how long they were on earth they will be convinced it was a day/or part of a day. There are also other proofs in Islam, I remember reading a chapter in this book by an islamic scholar on the subject of time, very very fascinating.

 

[Yas786]

Yep definitely believe in life after death.

'God is Dead' - Friedrich Nietzsche

'Nietzsche is Dead' - God


made me smile...

 

[Parsifal]

Yes. I believe all humans have eternal life. I can't believe that God would ever annihilate a human being, even if they wanted him to. I believe that after this life you will be judged and punished or rewarded for your conduct during it.

 

[[TW]Fox]

Seriously. Every person Gods created will be resurrected. And they will be judged, all justice will be done. There will be no ifs or buts, on whether one soul goes heaven or hell.

Where are they going to put all these billions of trillions of people? I don't even think the O2 Arena will hold that many people.

None of this makes any sense at all.

What I don't get is that if I said I beleived that the space aliens created us as a science experiment and one day they will nuke our planet for the lulz everyone would think I was a nutter.

Yet billions of people beleive what you beleive

 

[MeEsH BaKkA]

I think more that there is no 'death' I have been in incidents which I won't go into but I can assure you my survival was very surprising both to me and other people and I honestly feel that you cannot 'die'.

I think your reality alters somehow, you leave a certain reality (Through death) and slip into another, the one you left when you 'died' they 'see' you as 'dead', the one you enter they see you as 'normal'. A bit of a crazy/mad/weird idea, but then so are gods and heaven/hell to me

Do you mean for example there could be a big accident (like a train crash) and everyone dies but you, but you did "die" as well just in your reality you survived? I can't explain it very well lol I think I know what you mean though, you never experience death?

where do you take your belief in hell and resurrection from.

 

[e36Adz]

This is what the Quran says on such topic:

036.077 Doth not man see that it is We Who created him from sperm? yet behold! he (stands forth) as an open adversary!

036.078 And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?"

036.079 Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well-versed in every kind of creation!-

036.080 "The same Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! ye kindle therewith (your own fires)!

036.081 "Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like thereof?" - Yes, indeed! for He is the Creator, the Knower!
- Quran chapter 36:77-81

Well, God can put them wherever he wants. Every person will go to their prophet. IE; Muslims to the Prophet Muhammed pbuh. Christians to Jesus. Jews to Moses. Sikhs to their Gurus. Atheists to Athiests. So there will be different groups.

It's difficult to understand, I don't blame you at all.

Billions of people do believe what I believe. Billions of Christians believe what other Christians believe, etc...

It's just one of those things Fox, you'll never understand it, if you haven't been brought up, or looked into it.

where do you take your belief in hell and resurrection from.

From my religion Islam and it's holy book the Qur'an. Also from Islamic scholars and Imams.

 

[[TW]Fox]

I just dont see how you can rationally look at the possibilities and come back thinking thats the one that will happen.

Is Jesus going to judge every Christian? If he has a 10 minute consultation surely it will take him millions of years to judge everyone?

And what happens after everyone is judged? Does the world end? Do people who die after go nowhere?

Why hasnt it happened yet? It's been thousands of years since Jesus was around?

According to modern day beliefs, I quote ''Estimates of "the total number of people who have ever lived" published in the first decade of the 21st century range approximately from 100 to 115 billion''

Just looking at the size of the universe compared to us here on earth blows the mind away, and that is what we can actually observe.

 

[Lysander]

Why are you thinking in human-invented temporal intervals?!

And what happens after everyone is judged? Does the world end? Do people who die after go nowhere?

We've already answered that question. They become one with God or reincarnated.

Why hasnt it happened yet?

It's happening all the time.

It's been thousands of years since Jesus was around?

In human form. You really need to think slightly outside the box.

We believe Jesus will return in due time. As we have been taught he died on the cross, Muslims do not believe that.

Only God will judge his creations, however, the prophets will try help them, and defend them so they do not go hell.

After everyone is judged, one by one. They will either enter heaven or hell. There are 7 doors for heaven, and 7 levels of hell. They will each enter one based on their actions.

The world will end. And no, we don't believe only Muslims will go heaven. Even Jews and Christians, and people of other religions will. This is entirely based on if they believe in God, and life after death. That's from a Muslims point of view.

This is all getting rather religious which is what Castiel was trying to avoid I think. However you're attempting to apply logic where none necessarily needs exist - if you take as a starting point an omnipresent and omnipotent deity then at what point does what we conceive as a logical impossibility or even merely a tricky problem become of much relevance? You're talking about something that by definition is supernatural and hence there's no guarantee they are bound by the same physical laws as the rest of us mortals.

 

[Glaucus]

And again where does your belief in 7 levels come from? where have you plucked that from.

 

[Yas786]

And again where does your belief in 7 levels come from? where have you plucked that from.

Again it comes from the teaching of our holy book, the holy Quran and our prophets teachings.

Yes its hard for you to grasp but like Christianity, we believe in what our holy book says. The Christians believe in what they do...why?? because of the teachings of the Bible and Jesus.
