Bump for a later read.
What happens when you die? Well, you, um, die hoping you get to be in the first resurrection.
Some of us get promoted, some begin their torment.
What Happens After Death?
WHO KNOWS?
I'm pretty sure though, that just before kicking off.....
..........people crap their pants.
That's what Mattt and Trey told me................
The worms play pinochle on your snout.

"If I knew God I'd be Him."
The writer has a problem with soul annhilation in his definition of hell. Rev.19:20 says that the antichrist and false prophet are thrown in the lake of fire and brimstone. In Rev. 20:10 it says after a thousand years Satan is thrown in the same place and the antichrist and false prophet are still alive and suffering.
"I walked down a long corridor, and into a room...and they had me take a number..."
"An examination of all the words translated "hell" shows that the traditional view of an ever-burning place of torment where the wicked are punished for eternity cannot be found in the Bible."
Mark chapter 9, 42 and 43:
"And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire: Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.

Very enlightening. I like the ideas of a more merciful God and Scripture seems to support it. What about animals?
I plan to meditate on this some. I always took the book of Revelation a bit differently - did not think about the Judgement "Process", but more like, if you weren't saved during your natural life, you weren't gonna be in the Book of Life and were basically hosed. I like the second chance option - it also explains the mercy of God towards childrena and aborted babies - as well as those who were basically decent people but their churches (like Catholic for instance) never taught the salvation doctrine explicitly. Again - will have to study this some more. Thanks for the post!
Here is a serious question, though I may not be phrasing it well- What happens before we are born? In considering life after death, should we also consider if there is life before birth?
Thanks for posting this.
The Buddhists (and others) teach the Spirit is eternal and finds a final resting when man reconciles him to his Father.
I thnk Jesus, as King and Priest of Israel, being born Prince of the House of Judah, heir to Throne of David and High Priest of the Temple, for which he was crucified, taught much the same.
What Happens After Death?
No one knows...................
But, just prior to death, everyone craps their pants.
Thanks Matt & Trey!
