When you die your spirit goes searching for a new resting place for the next 30 seconds, if it doesn't find a suitable place within that time, you are reincarnated back to earth within one year in form of either tissue paper, condom, weed depending. Your new form is chosen at random. .

And he (i.e. man) presents for Us an example (i.e. attempting to establish the finality of death) and forgets his [own] creation. He says, “Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?” Say, “He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing.” [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator. (Quran, 36:78-81)

On another occasion, the Quran very clearly says that the disbelievers have no sound basis for their denial of life after death. It is based on pure conjecture:

And they say, “There is not but our worldly life; we die and live (i.e. some people die and others live, replacing them) and nothing destroys us except time.” And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming. And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, their argument is only that they say, “Bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful.” Say, “God causes you to live, then causes you to die; then He will assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt,” but most of the people do not know. (Quran, 45:24-26)

And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment Hebrews 9:27

In clear terms, we as humans are expected to die once after which we will be judged. Our works and life on Earth finally ends with death just as how they thought us MR NIGER D in integrated science in primary school where D stands for Death. The results of our life and works would be tested, weighed and determined by God's judgment. We do NOT RETURN to die a second death except permitted by God which is rare

ADEWUMIMichael:
Within the Christian faith, there is a significant amount of confusion regarding what happens after death.



Some hold that after death, everyone “sleeps” until the final judgment, after which everyone will be sent to heaven or hell.



Others believe that at the moment of death, people are instantly judged and sent to their eternal destinations.



Still others claim that when people die, their souls/spirits are sent to a “temporary” heaven or hell, to await the final resurrection, the final judgment, and then the finality of their eternal destination.




So, what exactly does the Bible say happens after death?

We are all animals. For some reasons, religious folks worry about what happens after death but care less about what happens to other animals when they enjoy fried chicken and beef suya.

This is what i have to say to all regardless of your believes or unbelieves we are still here talking about what happens after death everybody bring his or her own opinion based on what they believe there are lot of unresolved questions in this world only those who have died know what happens but wait what if there is no consciousness in them to even know the state they are haha. how do we know lol somethings are better left unexplained thats why God told Adam and eve not to eat of the fruit because they won't be able to handle what comes after and that is why we go through this stage of uncertainty maybe if he had taken more bites from the fruit the thing for Balance but the dose is not complete grin haha. that is why i even laugh when some people say there is No God how the heck will you know just because a human being sat anf thought of it and it made sense to him doesnt mean he is right it doesn't also mean its wrong but you can not be sure that is why i always say God or no God i appreciate the fact that there are holy books to guide you that's one of the important of them to help you restrain all this curiosity that can make you go mad even if there is no God I'll still appreciate those who made it and it actually defines what i see in my society today so that's a point for me. if truly God doesn't exist then how will a group of individuals who i will consider not so intelligent at that time as the science say got to create things that matches at different time intervals haha The only thing that can question the bible authenticity is when its proved that aliens exist Note i said Bible not God
me ma get question will rapture actually happen also are we actually going to heaven abi God will make the earth a new earth (Jerusalem ) in which we will dwell in with him(go and read revelations to understand ) tongue

dhardline:
While discussing with a couple of roman catholics I've come to realise that the teaching of purgatory is more or less a part of their doctrine and alot of them sure believe in it stating scriptures in 1st corinthians 3: 15 and also 2 Maccabees 39-46(note that maccabees is included in some conventional bibles with the name apocrypha but is part of the catholic bible)
While i have tried to explain to the few I have met about the dangers in the belief of purgatory as it allows a man to be permissive while continuing to allow certain sins hoping to be cleansed in purgatory instead of crying out to God in all sincererity to deliver him/her which can be perfectly done thru justification.

Some do have rethinks while some are harder to convince cause the solution seems too easy to be true.well i have come accross in the apocrypha which as you all know is part of the Roman catholic bible and saw something that you all must see too.
After seeing this i realised why alot of catholics rarely read the bible and have full knowledge of the things in it cause there are alot of things they do not want you to know so as for you to believe whatever you are told.

Now lets look at the book of 2 Esdras chapter 7 from verse 75 -101(be aware that some apocrypha do not contain this verses as they have been knowingly removed)
Now see the state of ones soul when they are dead and then decide if purgatory is still real or not.
75I answered and said, “If I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, show this also to your servant: whether after death, as soon as everyone of us yields up the soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when you will renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?”

76He answered me and said, “I will show you that also, but do not include yourself with those who have shown scorn, or number yourself among those who are tormented. 77For you have a treasure of works stored up with the Most High, but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78Now concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone out from the Most High that a person shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79If it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, who have despised his law and hated those who fear God-80such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, always grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance so that they may live. 83The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will cross over into torments. 87The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High in whose presence they sinned while they were alive, and in whose presence they are to be judged in the last times.

88“Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour so that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought that was formed with them, so that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the ungodly wander and the punishment that awaits them. 94The third order, they see the witness that he who formed them bears concerning them, that throughout their life they kept the law with which they were entrusted. 95The fourth order, they understand the rest that they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory waiting for them in the last days. 96The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty that they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97The sixth order, when it is shown them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they press forward to see the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the previously mentioned are theare the ways of torment that those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter.”

100Then I answered and said, “Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?”

101He said to me, “They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations.”

Happy sunday people.Shalom
hmmm,i have never seen a Bible named Catholic Bible with my two eyes, but I have the good news Bible which Catholics read, I've read most of the deutrocanonical books because I found them interesting but I've not read the two books of Esdras,thanks for the verse, but it is still worth while to know the history behind those books because I'm yet to fully understand why King James refused to acknowledge the books, even the Bibles that have them placed them in a different section so obviously they are controversial,i do not know if the verse was omitted in the "Catholic Bible" but I don't think it is because of the purgatory doctrine but rather because it was taught across all churches that before the coming of Christ,all souls were kept in sheoul till Jesus died and opened the gates of the Holy City (Matt 27:52-53) the issue of not studying the scriptures but believing all that comes out from the mouth of the leaders of the church is not only peculiar in Catholic but other denominations in Christiandom, I met a fellow who claimed to be a Bible expert,I asked what were the course of events that followed the death of Christ and he could not answer,as for the purgatory Ish, I think the bone of contention is that it is almost impossible to be without sin and not every one will be privileged to seek forgiveness Immediately before death such as the case of sudden death e.g accidents, even the Bible says a righteous man sins up to 7times a day, I'm not fully convinced on its existence neither I'm I bothered only the dead know the truth,but I won't castigate it in case it's true, I think the living should be more interested in making heaven by keeping God's commands instead of bothering themselves with secrets meant to be revealed only to the dead,shalom

Comot with this stupid news Abeg
ADEWUMIMichael:
Research ongoing....


Atheist please stay away




(modified)


I'm back from church,






According to my research,






for the believer in Jesus Christ, the Bible tells us that after death believers’ souls/spirits are taken to heaven, because their sins are forgiven by having received Christ as Savior ( John 3:16 , 18 , 36 ).




For believers, death is to be “away from the body and at home with the Lord” ( 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 ; Philippians 1:23 ). However, passages such as 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 describe believers being resurrected and given glorified bodies.



If believers go to be with Christ immediately after death, what is the purpose of this resurrection? It seems that while the souls/spirits of believers go to be with Christ immediately after death, the physical body remains in the grave “sleeping.” At the resurrection of believers, the physical body is resurrected, glorified, and then reunited with the soul/spirit. This reunited and glorified body-soul-spirit will be the possession of believers for eternity in the new heavens and new earth ( Revelation 21-22 ).



Second, for those who do not receive Jesus Christ as Savior, death means everlasting punishment. However, similar to the destiny of believers, unbelievers also seem to be sent immediately to a temporary holding place, to await their final resurrection, judgment, and eternal destiny. Luke 16:22-23 describes a rich man being tormented immediately after death. Revelation 20:11-15 describes all the unbelieving dead being resurrected, judged at the great white throne, and then being cast into the lake of fire. Unbelievers, then, are not sent to hell (the lake of fire) immediately after death, but rather are in a temporary realm of judgment and condemnation. However, even though unbelievers are not instantly sent to the lake of fire, their immediate fate after death is not a pleasant one.



The rich man cried out, “I am in agony in this fire” ( Luke 16:24 ).




Therefore, after death, a person resides in a “temporary” heaven or hell. After this temporary realm, at the final resurrection, a person’s eternal destiny will not change. The precise “location” of that eternal destiny is what changes. Believers will ultimately be granted entrance into the new heavens and new earth ( Revelation 21:1 ).




Unbelievers will ultimately be sent to the lake of fire ( Revelation 20:11-15 ). These are the final, eternal destinations of all people—based entirely on whether or not they had trusted Jesus Christ alone for salvation ( Matthew 25:46 ; John 3:36 ).

This comes from one of Prophetic Revelations of Jane Lead (1624-1704) of England, which she received as a result of her humble and repeated queries to her Lord regarding the multitude of souls, including those of young children, who pass from this earthly life without any knowledge of Him.

Other Worlds have been prepared to receive each Soul after the Death of its Earthly Body — Our Destination justly depends on the state of our Souls at that time, how we have spent our Allotted time on Earth, and what is yet to be accomplished in us on the Other Side.

Which of these Worlds {Regions or Mansions} awaits them depends upon the state of each Soul at the closing of its window of earthly time. Each of these Worlds provides exactly what is necessary for the status of the Souls who come there, where each Soul's redemption progressively continues, as the Soul cooperates, until purgation is completed and passage onward is made for it, to return with ALL Souls who are to be brought back to their original Nativity.
