I'm So Curious To Know What Happens After Death. (Image) by Brahamimo(op): 10:06am On Jul 27, 2025
Why can't God allow any of the dead one to return to life and explain to us what happens after death?
It's really very strange to me why the none of the dead ones has done this.
In the early 2000s, some overzealous christians came out and made a tape claiming that they resurrected from death after three days because God gave them a second chance to return to the world and warn sinners to desist from sin. These people even went as far as saying that God told them that the coming of Christ was imminent and that the world was coming to an end in the new millennium in the year 2000. A claim that never came to pass. I was only five years then and I still remember how my neighbors sold almost all their properties ahead of the coming of Christ.

You would have to experience it to find out...

Wouldn't you?

Why the rush?

Christ already answered your first paragraph in the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. God's path is centred on faith and not on what your sensory input feeds you.

Even if one of them comes, many will not believe him..or her👀. It could be easily relegated as delusion or some men-tah dis-order. It's the inherent ability of one to look above everything into what's truly real that God is looking for.

I used to be a skeptic, dwelling solely on things empiricism and rationalism could provide me! Occasionally, I got things that both couldn't account for; this slowly led me to Christ. Now I can't deny the spiritual reality I have tasted of; the things I have seen, heard and felt!

It's truly God's mercy not anything else that saves!

There's been no witnesses for this, otherwise you will have to wait until you die to know 🙂.

Man is the form through which God experiences his creation. We are Gods experiencing the physical world. What we call death is just God leaving the body that was made from dust. It becomes one with the source and the body is buried for it to become like dust... because that is what was used to make it in the first place. It is like somebody taking off his cloths. So, there is really nothing like death, it is an illusion.
God's spirit returns to the source waiting for another opportunity to return to earth or moving on to experience other dimensions.
We are all the image and likeness of God. We are not a drop in the ocean, we are the ocean in one drop.
If jesus actually existed, he is no different from us. Well, but he belongs to the realm of mythology.

The Body Dies, the Spirit Returns to God
“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”
— Ecclesiastes 12:7

Solomon teaches that at death, the body returns to the dust, and the spirit returns to God, indicating that our life essence goes back to its Source. This doesn’t necessarily mean immediate judgment or reward but a return to God's domain and control.

Death Is Often Described as Sleep (Rest)
“Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.”
— Daniel 12:2

“Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.”
— John 11:11

Death is repeatedly likened to sleep—a state of unconscious rest until resurrection.

The Dead Will Hear the Voice of Christ
“The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

Christ Preached to Spirits in Prison
“By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient...”
— 1 Peter 3:19–20

The Gospel Was Preached to the Dead
“For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.”
— 1 Peter 4:6

Where Does the Spirit Go?
The spirit returns to God. The righteous may experience rest or even conscious fellowship with God in Paradise (Luke 23:43, Heb. 12:23), while the full bodily resurrection and final judgment await the second coming of Christ (1 Thess. 4:16–17).

What I believe is that whatever happens to elephants, lions, monkeys and all the other animals when they die, is precisely what happens to humans after death. The general belief about life after death is just mere superstition and wishful thinking, and that is why there are so many versions of what happens after death!

If you need an answer to that question, you must return to knowledge of what ancient people said about that because they already answered that question before the age of religions.

What did ancient people say?

The ancients said that life itself is a CYCLE i.e life exists like an unending natural re-creating process that recycles itself just like old bottles gets recycled to manufacture new bottles.

And be informed that you can NEVER find the answer in any religion because religions are corrupted version of what the ancients said. Religion, no matter what the name is like a BIG joke.

For more information, and to begin your quest for the answer, see death doesn't exist, life has no end, there's no end

Stop spreading false hold and misleading people. Or better still stop commenting of topics you know nothing about.

The bible actually tells us what happens after death in the story of the rich man and the beggar, Lazarus. Read the story below:

(Luke 16:19-31 KJV) 19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Jehovah's witness was founded in about 1870's, and you want me to believe that non of the Christians that believed your so called Jesus was a real Christian until Jehovah's witness was founded?

The answer is probably why you're hated by other so called body of so called Christ.

The name "Jehovah's Witnesses" is what God kept for thousands of years away from false religionist so they continue to pick different group names just to gather people but after the International Bible Students Association met the requirements of pure worship in the year 1931 God revealed that name to them! Isaiah 65:15

False religionists are carrying the Bible but don't understand what Jesus taught because if they go preaching from house to house knocking on people's door uninvited which Jesus commanded how can they be mean or unempathetic towards those they must talk to? Mark 12:29-31

Wow! Well that's the more reason why i became one of Jehovah's Witnesses!
Jesus said his true disciples will be hated by all religionists {John 15:18} because they are no part of the world empire of false religion! John 17:14-16

Jesus never agree that he's worshiping the same God with religionists who refused to have the same line of thought with him so don't expect anything less from his real followers! Matthew 10:24-25 smiley
