Do You Believe in Life After Death?
Our elders often tell us when we were kids about after life. That there is a different dimention that we go to the moment we die physically. They said that our souls will either go to heaven or hell. The kingdom of heaven is meant for good souls who have done good deeds and followed God's commands when they were still living. While the tortorous fire of hell is for the sinners who have done horrible things on earth. That's why we've always tried to live our lives according to God's will. It was inculcated in our minds to follow the right path believing that it's a sure ticket to heaven.
Others have argued about the concept of life after death. Some people believe that when you die, that's simply the end of it. You're gone not just physcially but in all aspects. It means that you are done with your mission or purpose here on earth. Death may come too abrupt or expected, but it's inevitable. All of us die in the end and it just a matter of who dies first. But for them, there is no such thing as after life. Death is death. No other dimensions or whatsoever.
It has been a topic of debate composed of several arguments by different people. Sometimes it can get confusing. Do we have to believe what's on the Bible or should we consider the points of the people who questions the probability of life after death? Both have convincing words that can make you believe in them. But which is true? That I cannot tell. But instead of arguing whether life after death is true or not, why don't we focus on living our life to the fullest? We only have one chance of living and I think we should try to make it remarkable and worthwhile.
Your life is a borrowed one. There is a purpose of your existence eventhough you feel worthless sometimes (which is definitely NOT true). Each one of us became a part of this world for a reason beyond our knowledge. I believe there is a gret plan for everything. So, whether you believe in heaven and hell, it is important to always do good deeds to the people around you. You cannot expect people to be kind towards you if you are rude to them. You reap what you sow, according to the rule of karma.
How about you? Do you believe in life after death? Why and why not?
Let me hear your thoughts below!
There must be, I am believing that to make going to die easier
Thank you for sharing your thoughts @brittandjosie :)
Im not sure. But I believe in Life. ANd i believe that it has to be lived with genuine love for life and not with the fear of transgression of what comes after death. YOLO <3
Absolutely right! :)
I believe in life after death because I believe in the Bible and the promises of God that have been fulfilled and continues to be realized. What's the point of all these suffering and pain if it all go for nothing? There is hope in knowing that there is a better life after death. Yes, you only live once but how about those who suffer all the time, the sick and the dying? Is that what is life all about?
Yes, according to my faith I believe in life after death. I was born into a Christian home and was defnutely fed the same story of heaven and hell, but that's not what I hold on to anymore. I got to a stage of enlightenment where I just want to be good, whether there's heaven or hell, because in doing good I find fulfillment and that alone is enough for me and I have a conviction that there's GOD out there.
hm, I dont believe in life after death...but I do believe in ghosts! Not sure how to account for those conflicting thoughts though. lol.
You are definitely right. Instead of arguing or doing something crazy, why not focus on doing something good which will make your life memorable and interesting. At the end, its your own benefit. Thanks for sharing, I'm really interested with something like this thoughts. :)
