It's sad when people die because we're losing one of our loved ones. It's nice that they go to heaven, but the thought of never seeing them again is sad. We're grieving over our loss.

You die, you hurt all the people who love you, all the people who have ever known you.  You leave a much deeper hurt  than you can ever imagine.  If you are religious then you will know that it is a sin to commit suicide, so you go to hell or purgatory.

The preachers and ministers who say this aren't really Christians anyway.  They told me that when my brother died and my dad died, after they committed suicide.  But by the time my dad died, I knew better.\n\nIf the person who committed suicide is a true Christian, he'll go to heaven.

What happens when you die depends on what happens before you die. The Bible classifies the whole human race into two broad categories-the saved and the lost. What happens to the saved is radically different from what happens to the lost. \nA. For the saved\n\nThe Bible is abundantly clear on this point. When the saved die, they go directly into the presence of the Lord. At this point we remember the words of Jesus to the thief on the cross, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43). This appears to be a straightforward promise that at the moment of death the repentant thief would pass from his life of crime and his agonizing death into the realm called "paradise." This would seem to contradict the teaching called "soul-sleep" which implies that at death a believer "sleeps" in a kind of suspended animation until the day of the resurrection. How could the thief be that very day in paradise if his soul were to go to sleep when he died? At the moment of death the believer passes immediately into the personal presence of Jesus Christ. This is our hope and comfort as we stand at the graveside of a loved one. Paul said he had a desire to depart and to "be with Christ, which is better by far" (Philippians 1:23). He also said, "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body (that is, separated from the body by death) and at home with the Lord" (II Corinthians 5:8). These are the words of a man who believed that heaven would begin at the moment of his death. Was Paul looking forward to an unconscious slumber after his death? No! He was looking forward to the personal presence of Jesus Christ.\n\nBut that's not the whole story. The soul goes to be with the Lord in heaven and the body is buried until the day of resurrection when Jesus returns to the earth. I Thessalonians 4:14 says, "We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him." Here you have both sides of the truth. Christians who die are said to be "with Jesus" (that's the soul in the conscious presence of the Lord) and "have fallen asleep in him" (that's the body which "sleeps" in the grave). Listen to Paul's description of that great reunion of body and soul: "For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first" (I Thessalonians 4:16). Here is a clear promise of future bodily resurrection for the believer. First Corinthians 15:51-55 adds the crucial fact that our bodies will be "raised imperishable"-that is, with a body that is perfect in every way, free from the vestiges of death and decay. In this life our bodies wear out, like a clock continually running down, but when we are raised, it will be with bodies that can never decay, never wear out, never suffer injury, never grow old, never get sick, and thank God, never die.\n\n\nWhat Happens after Death?"\n\nIt is clear that during the test during the life of this world, people will be clearly divided in three groups: 1) those, who excel in piety, truthfulness, justice and submission to God; 2) those, who excel in transgression, rejection and are clearly averse to accepting God's truths; and 3) those, who are neither clearly among the first nor clearly among the second group.\n\nAs for the first two groups, these are people, who are themselves witnesses upon their own behavior. These are people, whose ultimate destiny - whether it be heaven or hell - is decided during the life of this world and they start enjoying or suffering the fruits of their deeds, immediately after death. If falling in the first category, they shall be in a state of blissful slumber till the Day of Rising, while if falling in the second category, they shall be in a

You're exactly right, too many people believe in that. Many believe going to heaven is something easy, it's actually hard. You need to fight evil spirits until the end.

Well, I think there is a natural desire to survive and that is instinct. I also believe that most people, even the most devout Christians doubt the existence of Heaven deep in their hearts. Also, most people love their famalies and want to be with them. Father or Mother feel they need to do the best to raise their children, and that would require them being alive. No one wants to lose their children, and the only thing I don't understand is why do Christians want to keep brain dead people alive and let them suffer instead of going to Heaven.

Absolutly not! It pains me to think of people going to hell. Even some people who have gotten on my last nerve, I don't revel in the final destiny if they are not saved. It pains me to no end.\n\nWe recently had a friend of the family pass away, and I do not know if she was saved or not.

God, no. Too many people don't realise how many OTHER people they affect. When people die of NATURAL causes, they leave huge voids in their loved ones' lives. Suicide is a terrible idea, especially if you're just depressed and not SICK physically.

Soem people do. Heaven is a place where we are around others, friends and relatives, who love us and help us. It is that simple.\n\nSome people come right back to earth in another body without experiencing heaven first. That can be considered hell by comparison. Sounds wierd but as a former channeler it is true.

I'm not going to give you the comforting fiction here. I'll just tell you the truth. Nothing happens to people after death. The last thing that happens to a person is the experience of the body failing and then ceasing to function. All the body systems, including brain processing, stop functioning. The individual loses consciousness for the last time. That final experience is the end. The person's lifeless body is then removed, etc. But THE PERSON no longer exists.

If I die, I know that I'll go to heaven, but I also know that I won't see alot of my friends and families in heaven who aren't a Christian whether they've passed on or still alive.  I don't fear death itself, but I don't want to die until I am called to go home by God.    I want to do all I can while I'm still alive to talk to those of my friends and families who aren't Christians so that one day I know that I'll see them in heaven when my time has come for me to go home.  \n\nSure I cry at funerals, coz I know that i'll miss that person and like I mentioned, not all my friends are Christians, so therefore I know that I won't see them again ever! that makes me sad.  I've been to many many happy 'going home parties', and I have to say, yes sure I was sad, but I am human, and feeling sad is just a part of the grieving and mourning process.

Every time we sin, God's heart breaks a little more. So, Yes, of course humans disappoint God. That's why Jesus died on the cross for our sins, so we could be with God in Heaven someday.

Something tells me that you’re not looking for these answers, but here goes. There are many reasons for why people can be (or are) scared of dieing. \n\nPerhaps you aren’t ready to die because you’re torn spiritually because you have thousands of religions telling you that their god is the only one and to choose otherwise will cause your soul to be damned to hell. (That’s a big one)\n\nPerhaps you’re doubtful of the existence of a heaven or a hereafter and are convinced that the only place there is after you die is only hell. (Another good one)\n\nPerhaps you feel that the only thing that awaits you is the great emptiness of the void and that for the remainder of all eternity there will be nothing but emptiness. (That can get very scary if you honestly think of it)\n\nPerhaps you aren’t certain that there is enough you can do to work out the issues that tempted you or tormented you while you were on this mortal coil. (After all, there’s no spiritual ATM to tell you what your spiritual debt or balance is)\n\nPerhaps you’re the type of individual who’s alright with the idea of dying but you don’t want to do it alone or away in a strange hospital with nobody familiar, not even your loved ones nearby. \n\nPerhaps you’re worried about dieing a ‘bad’ death, one which is painful and lingering or perhaps a death where you didn’t want anyone to find you doing. (Like dieing while taking a crap right after you hear that you just won the lottery)\n\n Perhaps you didn’t want to die in a state of sadness. (Say for instance you’ve just watched your wife and children die because of something you did, like a car crash, and you realized that you were responsible for it)

No, not heaven. But I do believe that everyone goes to God, at which point it will be determined whether one will go to heaven or not. It will be at that point that all things will be revealed.

in my religion death is  just the beginning of your REAL life. because while you were living you were being tested on which of your good actions outweigh the bad . that determines whether you go to hell or heaven . heaven or hell is the real deal . i worship the religion of ISLAM!
