What actually happends when we die? ?

Do we know were dead, do we still hear after death, are we actually still conscious after death? I know that there no such thing as nothingness as nothingness means it never existed and never will so we cannot experience nothingness as some others claim. But I do want to know what really happends when our time has crosses 0 seconds of life on Earth? Where do we go? Will it be just eternity blackout? This is the only thing that sounds scary about death as it like being trapped in entire complete darkness that you cannot avoid? Will I get reincarnated again?

    To your first 3 questions - yes, yes, and yes. We will appear before God in judgement, and allowed to proceed to the eternal existence we have chosen while on Earth - Heaven or Hell. Reincarnated? - no.

    You have hours, if not days, before the brain and other organs in the body are irreversibly damaged after death. It's actually the restoration of oxygen and blood flow back into organs after a person's heart stops, but is then resuscitated that paradoxically leads to accelerated cell death.

    "What actually happens when we die? ?"  The Old Testament details the process.

    1.  We wax old or otherwise become too weak to sustain life.

    2.  We give up the ghost.  The spirit and the body separate.

    3.  We die.  The body ceases to function and begins to decay.

    4.  We are gathered to our fathers.  Our spirits meet our loved ones in Paradise, not heaven.

    5.  We are buried or otherwise processed according to custom.

    "Do we know were dead, do we still hear after death, are we actually still conscious after death?"  I think we will figure that out pretty quickly.  We will still have some vestige of our senses, but limited compared to what we have in life.  Yes, we shall be conscious.

    Never at any point do we cease to exist.  If that were so, God would have to create new and innocent lives to unfairly reward or punish for what we did, which would entirely negate the maturity we gain from going through life.

    "Where do we go?"  We go to Paradise to learn and to be perfected, and to await the resurrections and final judgment.  Some of us just need a detour through hell first to be purified of our sins.  But hell is never forever.  Rev. 20:12-14.

    "Will it be just eternity blackout?"  No, of course not. If that were the case, we would never do anybody any good.

    "Will I get reincarnated again?"  No, you shall never reincarnate.  You shall eventually be resurrected, judged, and rewarded after you become as good as you're going to get.

    The Lord Jesus Christ is God and He loves you, and believing in the Lord Jesus Christ means being forgiven all sins past and future, and means going to heaven and not hell.  And all saved people still sin.  See 1 John 1:8.  Death leads to immediate heaven or hell, and it is too late to be saved, after death.  To be in heaven and not hell, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is God and who died on the cross and shed His blood to pay for all of our sins in full, and who was buried, and who resurrected from the dead.  The only way to avoid hell is by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, without adding any of your own works.  See Romans 4:5, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, and John 3:16.

    I don't know why people can't figure out what's obvious.

    Dead people are equal to dead cockroaches. We are just a piece of garbage when we drop dead.

    Why did Jesus speak of death as a sleep?

    Because a sleeping person is inactive. During deep sleep there is no consciousness of surroundings or the passing of time. There is no pain or suffering.

    Similarly, in death there is no activity or activity or consciousness. But the comparison goes further with sleep.

    With sleep, one expects to wake up. And that is exactly the hope that the Bible offers for the dead.

    This would be the (resurrection) that Jesus spoke about.

    Jesus’ early disciples clearly understood the true condition of the dead. To the followers of Jesus death was a sleep, and the grave a resting-place.

    God knows what happens to us when we die, and he has told us that when a person dies, his life ends. Death is the opposite of life.

     So when someone dies, his feelings and memories do not keep on living somewhere else.  When we die we can’t see, we can’t hear, and we can’t think anymore.
