Does death end ones life?

I really didn't know where my subject would go so maybe the moderator will forward it elsewhere since this is my second post. But before I go announcing my talent or gifts given to me by God over the past 5 or 6 years since then. I would like to ask first does death ends ones life or do we continue alive and active for God? My strong be leaf is that after we pass from this existence to the alternate world (The world of the spirits) we continue active and working for God or Evil. It is my deep commitment that in some marvellous ways our souls thirsting to make it to heaven continue our quest in some fashion to win favour or points we indirectly try to lean on a hope that helping a living soul God sees with love the devotion of the dearly departed an in this fashion wins this so called points. I talked to my parish priest and he says we can only win these points while we are in this sinning world after everything is lost. What is your knowledge in this area? Thanks TA:angel2:

the bible does provide an answer to this question


Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.

Psalm 115:17 The dead themselves do not praise Jah, Nor do any going down into silence.

Psalm 146:4 His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; In that day his thoughts do perish.

John 11:11 He said these things, and after this he said to them: “Laz′a·rus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.”


The bibles clear answer is that death is a type of sleep... our fleshly body disintegrates and our consciousness comes to an end. That is what God told Adam would happen to him after he sinned

Genesis 3:19
In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.”

in the New Testament's (wiki/ Johannine literature) there are references to eternal life commencing in the earthly life of the believer- (wiki/Eternal_life_(Christianity)

Death ends the physical body in this world and annihilates your consciousness in this dimension as well. it does not end your life since the essence of your life stems from the soul. Death is not the Télos but the merely the transition of continuity of the human essence

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the laws of thermodynamics state that energy cannot be created or destroyed? I suppose then it may be possible that, although we die, we still remain a part of the Universe - just in different changing forces.

Who knows....

Funny that you asked for knowledge not belief. Our knowledge is that who you are is a physical process going on in your brain. Much medical examination and study has been done on this. We can see the affects of brain damage such as Alzheimer's and strokes. To a lot of people this demonstrates that the you now can change through changes to the brain. At the time of death the brain stops and eventually decomposes. Logically this would lead you to believe that anything meaningful that was you has stopped existing. Perhaps not a lovely thought, yet it is a very comfortable thought once you come to grips with it.

There are too many possibilities in an afterlife, either through religion or logic, for me to think death as the end. If one believes in future time travel technologies well then they should of already concluded that eventually giving other's an afterlife, who have ever lived and are worth it, as a reality. Afterall, it would be a top goal or product, something that will not be ignored. Or, how about a million years hence including AI and robots that pluck mirror/shadow images out of space reverse engineering the remnants of all who ever lived.. like we are about to do with a T REX. Or, perhaps godlike million year advanced alien civilizations have recorded the information about every person up to the last nanosecond of their last dying breath... and then off in the tunnel you go, well, unless you discust them. Or, then, of coarse, we have the religions of the world...So, na, thinking otherwise is too boring...

when someone dies, we have proof of exactly what happens to them. We have demonstrable evidence that their body rots and returns to dirt.

What we have absolutely NO evidence for is that these human bodies have a separate part to them which continues living. There is no way to demonstrate that it is true and therefore no evidence to support such a conclusion....its pure speculation, opinion and 'blind hope' imo.

Do you place in emphasis on a particular claim regarding that afterlife as more valid?
I myself have come to no conclusion whatsoever. Despite my so-called intellectual approach to god I have no theory or answer to what happens when one dies.
People who are not affiliated to a strict religious dogma like myself have no conclusion to what happens after death or if anything happens at all. Baffles me how another person can live like this

No, actually I don't. Becouse as far as I know there could be more than one way for it to become a possibility. And, who would I be to discard others ways, thus possibly discarding my own faight in the process...

It seems to perplex theists and atheists alike that one believes in a god or spiritual entity yet is not certain as to what occurs post-death. Somehow it is intertwined in common thought that believe in god is a belief in divine judgement and an afterlife.
