Is this true about when you die?-.-?

So me and my friends were talking about the end of the world, and then I said "What if the world already has ended, and what if we're all just living someone's dream?" Then one of my friends said "Apparently when you die, you still have seven minutes of brain power left, and it relives through memories, so this could all be a past memory." Is that true?

    It's been shown brain activity can go on for 8 hours after a person dies. And the senses are still intact. But the rest of what you said is "inception" make believe. There's no way to prove what your friend said, but I can't prove to you we're not just Sims in a videogame. Come back to reality.

    Set a timer for 7 minutes and don't talk or do anything, just to get an idea of how friggin long that is. Of course it's not true some people die instantly others it's drawn out over hours or days depending on what happened to kill you.

    If I may rephrase your question...

    Q = What happens to those who physically die before the rapture?

    A = And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom [Luke 16:23].

    Thru The Bible with J. Vernon McGee states: Notice two things here: The lost go to a place of conscious torment. Also, people know each other after death. We do not lose our identities.

    The word hell is in the Greek hades, meaning "the unseen world." Actually, hell, as we think of it, is a place that has not yet been opened up for business; we don't read of it until we get to Revelation 20:10, where it tells us that hell's first occupants will be the Antichrist and the false prophet. When they died, Lazarus and the rich man went to the unseen world, the place of the departed dead. It will help us understand this parable if we realize that Sheol or hades (translated hell in the New Testament) is divided into two compartments: paradise (which is called Abraham's Bosom in this parable) and the place of torment. Paradise was emptied when Christ took with Him at His ascension the Old Testament believers (see Eph. 4:8-10). The place of torment will deliver up the lost for judgment at the Great White Throne (see Rev. 20:11-15). All who stand at this judgment are lost, and they will be cast into the lake of fire, which is the second death.

    Now when the rich man died, his spirit went to the place of torment, the compartment where the lost go. The beggar went to the compartment called paradise or Abraham's Bosom.

    The bodies of believers today, since the resurrection of Jesus Christ, go into the grave and return to dust, but their spirits go to be with Christ. "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord" (2Cor. 5:8). The lost today still go to the place of torment in hades. Ephesians 4:8-10 gives us the following picture, "Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)" In other words, when our Lord descended into hades after His crucifixion on the cross, He entered the paradise section, emptied it, and took everyone into God's presence. No one occupies the paradise section of hades today. The only part of hades still occupied is the place of torment where unbelievers go when they die. The day is coming when hades will be cast into the lake of fire and men will no longer go there at all (see Rev. 20:14).

    Wow, sounds like a Pink Floyd song in a way. No it is not true. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Make sure you know the Lord.

    When people die, there brain does not continue to function for seven minutes. That sounds like something from a movie

    No one knows what happens when you die.

    I believe that you you are dead. There is no afterlife, no reincarnation.

    This comes from the guillotine in revolutionary France. How long are you aware that your head has been cut off and is in a bucket?

    They brain doesnt shut off all at once. It does so in stages and usually the memory part is last to go.
