The majority of religions have a clear belief in the concept of life and existence after death; however, the detail of what happens and how it happens differs between every religion and it predominantly depends on the beliefs about the soul.…
When I die I think that I am going straight to heaven. I say this because of the death of Jesus. When he did Jesus went to hell and freed the ones that had died before and had trusted in him. Thus proving the point that we no longer had to stay in hell until the perfect sacrifice was made. Also when I die I believe that my earthly body will decompose but my spirit shall ask just as the spirits of those who died and believed with the only difference being that it will happen as soon as I die.…
The concepts of the afterlife held by philosophers are varied, due to the different forms to which people believe it takes. For example, there are disputes as to whether it is a physical or material world, in the form of body and/or soul, which raises both dualist and monist views.…
Death is inevitable. No matter how much an individual clings to life hoping and wishing to escape death, death always follows. Yet, in the presence of those who cling to life, there are individuals who accept that death is a part of life. Those individuals realize that from the moment of birth death is inevitable. In light of these two polar responses to death I find it important to try to understand the concept of “good death.” For the purpose of this short essay I will not dive into whether death is good. For now I will only explore the fluidity of “good death” by highlighting specific attitudes that have endured over the past 150 years and offer personal suggests for why I think these attitudes have persisted.…

“Is there life after death?” and “What will happen to me when I die?” There is life after death, but there are two different places that one can live their eternal life after death (Roman 6:23). Eternal life can be spent in Heaven or in the fire pits of Hell. God determines whether we live eternal life in Heaven or Hell; when he judges us based on our lives on earth (2 Corinthians 5:10).…
The Bible clearly teaches that there are only two very specific possibilities for eternity; Heaven, and Hell. There is only way to make it to Heaven, and that is to accept the gift that Jesus gave us by dying on the cross for our sins. (1 Peter 3:18) The Bible lists the two possibilities for eternity as being either eternal life, or eternal punishment. (Matthew 25:46)…

The Egyptians believed that there was life after death. Their burial was based on what religion they believed. Their religion was taught that when you died the gods became beneficent protectors and provided dead to pass through the netherworlds. They had a book that they went by to tell them how dangerous the afterlife was and what was needed to make it…
It is rational to accept the Buddhist view of an afterlife; it is both consistent and coherent. Physically, reincarnation and nirvana make sense due to the belief that energy cannot be created or destroyed. When a body dies, the energy that kept the body alive must go somewhere, therefore a transfer of the energy into new life is plausible. Though many say that laws of physics would need to be re-written if reincarnation were true, using science to explain the soul is impractical, if not impossible. The soul has been brought up in many aspects of…

No matter what religion someone believes in, if they believe in any religion at all, most people can agree on the fact that we are not going to live forever here on earth, we are going to die. No one knows when they are going to or how it will happen, but dying is a part of life, the end of a life. However, even though most of us can agree that we will all die, we do not all agree on what happens after the fact. Shintoism and Taoism (Daoism) have two interesting ways of looking at death and the afterlife.…
