The Afterlife

by the acts you do. A lot of people misunderstand the word of God, I believe it is best not to believe what others say unless they can show you where they got their info. So you need to read for yourself. I learned that hadies is just the judgement plate where you go to be judged for your acts on earth. That after you die you are in limbo on earth until God calls for his people. Read the book of Revelation's. But be careful, it is symbolic in allot of ways. Research it not just in the bible but on-line and at the library and NEVER listen to someone who wants to tell you only one verse and give you what they think it means. The bible explains it self if you read it and allot of it's history has even been proven. Like for example, research on line about Noah's ark. Did you know that it has been found? The tribe that lives at the base of the mountain forbid it to be removed because it goes against their own religion. I do believe there is a higher power and there are many scriptures in the bible saying one day all our tears will be wiped away and there will be no more suffering. Please, just a little each day, just read for yourself. The book of genesis is the most boring but it even speaks of dinosaurs in it. You just have to get past all of the this man was the father of who was the father of who was the father stuff. Good luck...God bless READ King James version of the bible, it is the closest to the original you can get.

Not all naturally occurring phenomenon can or should be interpreted as signs or omens. Foxes are opportunistic scavengers with little fear of humankind. See them in nature are even in your urban neighbourhood is not uncommon.

If however fox is a totem animal of yours, then his appearance may be a interpreted as:

Cunning, Camouflage, Quick-wittedness, Agility or if found in your tea cup reading as deception. For additional information check out the related link below.

Most certainly. The belief in Heaven and Hell are both doctrines of the Catholic Faith which means they are so fundamental to the Catholic belief that to deny them is to deny the Faith. Catholics believe that the soul only has two ultimate destinies, either to spend eternity in Heaven with God, or to spend eternity in Hell without Him. The Catholic concept of Heaven consists in the Beatific Vision, this means that the soul will be able to contemplate God, to "see" Him, to its full ability and hence, the soul will be rapt in the mysteries and love it will find there. The Catholic concept of Hell is a place of absence where the soul will ever be in torment since it can never be united to its Creator, God. Catholics believe as well in the resurrection of the body and thus Heaven and Hell are physical places as well to accommodate the physical form. To this end, the body will either be glorified in Heaven or twisted and tortured in Hell by fire and cold.

Catholics also believe in Limbo and Purgatory. Purgatory is an intermediate stage used to purify souls that will go to Heaven but which yet have some temporal restitution they must make in justice. Purgatory will cease to exist at the end of the world since all souls will then either be in Heaven or Hell.

Limbo is for those souls who die without reaching the age of reason and who have not received baptism. Since they have Original Sin on their souls they cannot enter heaven, but since they have no personal sin either, they are not to suffer Hell. Thus they are placed in Limbo, a state of natural happiness.

JESUS CHRIST is the only guide to afterlife...the only way one can gain the wisdom of afterlife is through him.

They were called embalming Preists. They wore a mask of Anubis (the god of mummification) and read spells from the book of the dead.

They wash the dead corpse. Wrap it into special cloth. Then, perform special praying on him/her in the mosque where asking Allah (God in English and same God worshiped by Jews and Christians) to forgive him/her and dwell him/her in His paradise. They bury him/her under ground and cover him/her by dust.

The Egyptians were firm believers in immortality. Thus, the Egyptian rulers prepared elaborate tombs, laden with life's necessities and luxuries, hoping to secure eternal happiness in an afterlife.

Gold jewelry, clothing, furniture, wine, food, pottery, ivory boxes, and even little slabs for grinding eye paint were all carefully placed in Egyptian tombs. It was believed that these items could be used in a life beyond the grave. In earlier times, slaves were killed and buried along with their masters, to serve them after death.

I can give you the fact about the after life. If you have accepted Jesus Christ into your heart you will go to Heaven. If you haven't you will go to hell forever. The Bible clearly states this in several places.

Most of them are scared to death; which may be an indication of the state of their faith. Solomon is quite clear that 'the day of a man's death is better than the day of his birth,' although the exact meaning of this passage in Ecclesiastes is debated. It should be noted that the human definitions of 'Christian,' and even the terms 'life' and 'death' here differ from God's definitions, and will impact an objective answer to this question.

Afterlife and Moksha are the two options we have after we finish one chapter of the book called life. We are living and the body will die. The name will finish its journey. But the one who was alive has two options. The first option is an afterlife. The body dies but the mind and ego ME comes back in a new life, in a new body to settle the deeds that are unsettled. But the second opportunity, which is the ultimate goal of life, is to attain Moskha, Nirvana, Enlightenment, Liberation, Salvation, whatever you call it. When we realize we are not the body that dies, we are not even the mind and ego ME, then we realize we are the Divine Soul, and we are liberated and united with the Divine. That is Moksha. Therefore, the difference is either we come back in an afterlife or we attain Moksha.

The Egyptians believed you would go on a journey in a boat after you died to go live with the gods. People would be mummified so they don't rot on their journey and their grave filled with food so they wouldn't starve on their journey. If you were a Pharaoh or a queen, your grave would be filled with food and gems and jewels. If you were a very horrible person in life, you would cease to exist, or you would go to the true realm of the dead, where the dead walks upside down and one ray of sunlight would be wonderful for the ruler of it. There were also a lot of other places you would go in death based on your choices.

Differ From what?

Anyways in a nutshell the Islamic beliefs about life on earth are simple human are here to believe in God and do good. we should be thankful for whatever comes our way as God is the one who sent it our way whether to test us, punish us or reward us. for we don't know what's good and what's bad on the long run.

And the in the after life. after we die we are judged while we are in our graves. the bad are punished and the good are rewarded with the lack of punishment. after that in the day of kyama. we are all judged by God. good people go to Heaven and bad people go to Hell. (Good and bad are determined by how you obeyed God during your life). God is real so

Good question.. I'm going to give you some think and study questions: What is "heaven" and what is the "kingdom" as in the teachings of Yeshua? My personal perception is that there is a difference between the pearly gates place and the kingdom that Yeshua taught about. Do a Bible Study on it, check out crosswalk.com for that. If you check out the teachings of Yeshua (Jesus is a Greek name, if you were hanging out with the Jewish Rabbi that was the historical basis for Christianity and said "Hey Jesus, wassup?", he'd have kept walking.) he speaks of the "kingdom" in present tense. I think that's important. Also if you do a study of Judaism and how it changed during the Babylonian exile you'll find that the meaning of several key concepts changed, "heaven" was just one of them.

Confucianism does not have an afterlife. It focuses on life on Earth.

No one knows as no one has come back from the dead that has been blind to say what has happened after death.

//I have heard a blind man declare that in a NDE (near death experience) he had sight. For the first time he was able to actually see, once he recovered his sight was gone again. It was only during the time he spent in the 'afterlife' that he had vision.//

"Memory"

Emperor Qin believed in an afterlife and therefore was logically quite invested in the eventual situation of his spirit. He also decided to pursue a longer material life by consuming copious amounts of minerals, including mercury. This had rather the opposite effect. The combination of dying from mercury poisoning and his ever -deteriorating, unstable mentality made him quite desperate for any opportunity of a rewarding afterlife.

It depens on the religion in question.

In Judaism, you may be looking for the word "tikkun." The soul has achieved its tikkun (rectification).

In Hinduism, this is called "moksha".

In Buddhism, this is called "nirvana".

We all leave something behind when we depart this life. The smell of an old jacket still in the room, cigar smoke that has impregnated the walls of the room. Time will eventually cause all of these reminding smells to go. Though I have to admit that something else may remind us of that person, a chair they sat in. Most are fancies of the mind.
