How can there be an afterlife?

Mankind has always been concerned with—and developed numerous theories about—the afterlife. Something within us rebels against the idea that existence ends with the grave. Funerals and memorial services always address the afterlife, complete with euphemisms to describe what happens after life on earth is over. The dead are said to have 'gone on' or 'passed over' or some such phrase. What they have gone on to is often alluded to, and always in positive terms, but frequently not explained in authoritative terms. We all like to think we are headed for something pleasant and positive after we die, but many of us just aren't sure what it is.

The afterlife is the ultimate mystery, that "undiscovered country from who bourn no traveller returns," as Shakespeare put it. But one traveller has returned from the undiscovered country, one who has gone through to the other side and come back to tell us what to expect. He alone possesses the authority and knowledge to tell everyone the truth about the afterlife. Not only that, but He alone holds the key to unlock the door to the afterlife we all seek—heaven. That person is Jesus Christ who died, was buried, came back to life, and was seen by hundreds of reliable witnesses (1 Corinthians 15:3-8).

Jesus is the sole authority and witness who is able to answer the question, "Is there really an afterlife?" And Christ, whose truthfulness and integrity are unquestioned even by those who deny His deity, makes three basic statements about the subject of life after death. There is an afterlife, there are only two alternatives as to where we spend the afterlife, and there is a way to ensure a positive experience after death.

First, Christ taught that there is an afterlife in a number of biblical passages, including an encounter with the Sadducees who denied the teaching of resurrection. He reminded them that their own Scriptures affirm that God is not the God of the dead, but of the living (Mark 12:24-27). Jesus clearly told them that those who have died centuries before are very much alive with God at that moment, although they do not marry, becoming instead as the angels. Later, Jesus comforts His disciples (and us) with the hope of being with Him in Heaven: "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going" (John 14:1-4).

Of course the soul cannot be understood from a biological standpoint, since it isn't a biological entity. Humans are not merely biological entities either. We have a biological nature and a spiritual nature, body and soul. Spiritual entities can certainly influence physical entities, beginning with the creation of all physical entities by God, a spiritual entity. In the same way, the soul gives human beings a spiritual identity and moral capacity. Jesus's brain stopped functioning when He died on the cross, but his spiritual identity could not die, and reunited with His biological remains three days later. restoring it to life. We will experience the same thing, according to His promise.

I think the soul is completely part of a supernatural world. I think a living body might have something in it that prevents a soul from leaving. The personality could change after the injury because the event may have been so traumatic that they never were their old selves again. I don't think most people say the soul is made up of matter at all.

Wow, there are more than 5 billions of people believing in an afterlife. Do you think we are all damaged and only you are the perfect person!?

---------------------------------

If we believe in the soul, it's normal even to believe that it is eternal, so existing before we born on this Earth and existing after we'll die. Naturally it's necessary to believe in, otherwise all we could say would be unnecessary. You have to imagine life as a 'video game'. It is based on levels. Now we all are on a level and nobody can say that is the final or the only level to live.

We know our brain works until 10/15%. How will be in a future when we'll use it about 40/50%? However we should know and completely understand what the Gregg Braden theory says (the Matrix Divina) to at least start to explore and investigate our mental possibilities.

the soul contains the mind of a person

the brain translates the souls mind into the physical world

the soul is a spirit it is not physical

jesus tells us the after life exists

Since the physical realm is the most superficial realm of the universal existence

and that there are at least six other realms above and beyond it,

so there is every possibility that life remains continue in upper realms,

even after it ends in the physical realm with the end of the physical body.

Ecclesiastes 12:6-7

6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

the brain is just an organ for the soul

it either works good or bad when damaged

I have explored woods and nature to find this answer for myself. I choose to keep it confidential since nobody will believe me, and I have worked hard finding it for myself so they should do the same. or they can just look in a stupid book and believe what it says. whatever.
