Is there a life before death?!?

Yes I think there is.\n\nSomeone I know, actually believes that we are born when we die and we die when we are born and we are actually living on rewind.  If you add that in to the idea of reincarnation then the answer to your question is yes.

Hard to answer specifics when there aren't any - but life is ALWAYS worth living! No matter how bad things are, they always get better; even when things are SO bad that you can't imagine how they can possibly improve - they do. Trust me I know of what I speak.\nTry to think back to some incident earlier in your life that you thought was the end of the world - you got through it - and it doesn't seem half so dreadful now, does it? Whatever you are going through now - just persist and you WILL emerge the other side stronger, wiser and ready to face lifes other challenges.\nI wish you all the very best and hope you can bring yourself to believe what I say, even if you can't believe me now - trust me and you'll see I'm right! :o)

I beleive in reincarnation, therefore afterlife and before life are the same time, it's really just between lives.  I also beleive that you choose your own life(you want to learn from your life).  That  could be a major part of before life.

Only if you believe in time.\nAs a student of Zen buddism I have come to think of the here and now, this very instant, as eternity.\nThere is no future and past. Where do these things exist?\nOnly eternity exists in this very instant.

WoW! Interesting and deep questions...\nI would get on my knees and pray, but not just on my last day; praying everyday is a good thing.\nI would accept it being my last day, because what ever is God's will is fine...and I do believe there is a better life after this earthly, physical life. As for fearing death, I'm pretty sure I would, but again, there is something greater to look forward to, and God says that this life is nothing compared to the afterlife. So...I do believe in Heaven, but not the "mythical" sitting around on a cloud thing that some of us learned in some churches. I believe Heaven to be as you said, "to see the face of God" and Jesus Christ"...and much more than that. Those chosen to be in God's government, ( as opposed to these corrupt, worldly governments that exist now, will be wiped away, along with all the misery and suffering!) will help set up a fair and right government, which keeps God's laws, ( not all these man made B.S. laws!) This new system of living will allow people to learn to live God's way, with peace and happiness. (I'm sure there will be opposition on this!) Many more wrongs of this messed up world, will be corrected...Lots of work to do! No time to just sit on a cloud!\nAs for HELL!!! I believe that, as the Bible says, it is a consuming fire, and that it serves the purpose of burning up those who will not accept God's law, after they have been taught in the future. It will be as if they never existed; so basically, we are all given the chance to learn God's ways, either in this lifetime, or in the next...amd hopefully, we'll accept it, and not be destroyed in hell! There is also the mythical "Dantes Inferno" which influences us to think of hell as an ever burning punishment...I don't believe this is true at all...God is loving and merciful, and will give us another chance to learn how to live, how to love, how to obey, how to be happy, how to live harmoniously with one another, no wars, how to worship etc.....and IF we continue to want to live, as we do now, with Satan's influence dominating this messed up world, that's it! Stick us with a fork! We're done!!!

Sure, why not?  Who is to say with any precision what happens after this life?  I have no personal rememberances of any past life, but then I don't recall what I did in June either.  \n\nMany claim that since the Bible does not endorse reincarnation directly, then reincarnation does not exist.  However, the Bible may imply it, indirectly, in three instances in the Gospels, (if I recall...LOL)  And with hundreds of millions of non-Christians, non-Muslims and non-Jewish people around the world, reincarnation is an accepted fact of life; to Hindus, to Buddhists.  \n\nAny one person answering this question, with a definite Yes, or a definite No, is just parroting what they have been told, since they cannot objectively document it.  \nIt wouldn't surprise me, if God utilized reincarnation.  \nTo say otherwise, is an example of me circumscribing God in my image.  I can't wait to see the end of this excellent movie called "Life".... or is there any end........?

Yeah, no one knows what is a person's heart before death.  God alone knows.  What if the man repented?\n\nHave a good one!

I was going to asnwer YES but I realised it's NO!\n\nIt's simply because I live for the ones I love. What is the point of life, if all who you live for, you love, do not exist anymore? Without love, I'll be a living dead!\n\nA life without love, shouldn't be called life!

No, but I know some great books you can read if you're interested. They are fantastic and each one gives you a better understanding of just what it is and how it differs for each individual according to their faiths and beliefs. Once I lost my daughter I really wanted to know more about all of that and I thought the best way to prove that there really is life after death was to read about people who had had these experiences. Very Fascinating!\n\nI'm talking about people who actually died and came back to life at hospitals and such. Not something brought on by witchcraft or the choking game.

Ok your question makes no sense, but is interesting. There is more to life after death than a "hereafter." There's a heaven and hell, and yes, both are real.\nI'm sorry for you that you don't believe in the God I know. I don't worry about my life because I know I'm taken care of.

I think that's like a "what's the meaning of life" question - it really can't be answered so just worry about how to live your life before you die, what's going to happen afterwards is a mystery and I think should be looked upon as an adventure that you never know where it's going to end up.

Life before and after death, my view:\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-7dNzZV06cpnGmuKQRUwj0WV6Ig--?cq=1&p=1

Death is not the only sure thing.  You will live until you die.  Even if you die in two seconds I am sure that you will live the 1.9999999 seconds before you die.  There are so many things in this life worth living for that you cannot see and do if you die.  \n1. Seeing your children born.\n2. Having sex.\n3. Laughing\n4. Crying\n5. Fishing\n6. Having grandchildren\n7. 75th wedding anniversary\n8. The next Harry Potter book\n\nThe list goes on and on.  "DO NOT GIVE UP"!!!!!!!!\nLive life to its fullest.

I have to disagree with a previous respondent who said, "What do you remember before you were born? Well that is exactly what it will be like after you die."  Has he been dead already?  How does he know?  I THINK -- although no one can know for sure -- that we will certainly know when we're dead.  When you ask about experiencing the world around us, you're automatically asking about the afterlife, with some interplay with religious beliefs -- there's no separating one from the other.  Because I believe there's an afterlife, I also believe that we will experience the world around us, but on another plane.  Certainly we'll be able to interact after death, but primarily and most directly with those who have already died as well.

I have no experience. Why should we not fulfill our wish before death? This I can assure the story is valid before death. I dont want to tell one to take risk. Who knows.

haha.. the previous answer was hilarious.\nWhat you have asked for can be answered in a million ways and has been thought about since a long time .. Plato, socrates  , n other all tried their best. Whatever you make of it .. thats Life. It is relative.. the only absolute is death.
