The Bible says that “the dust will return to the earth, where it came from, and the spirit to the Creator, who gave it” ... Forgive the pun, but today only the dead do not try to find out or find out what happens to the soul when man is dying. So I was puzzled by this question.
The death of man - what is it?
From a biological and physical point of view, a person’s death is a complete stop of all the processes of his life. This is an irreversible phenomenon that none of us can ignore. At the time of death, processes occur that are inversely proportional to his creation. The brain is irreversibly destroyed, losing its functionality. The emotional world is erased.
Where is it the brink of being?
The Bible says that "the dust will return to the earth, from where it appeared, and the spirit to the Creator, who gave it." In accordance with this, today some scientists have deduced the formula of human existence. In a letter, she will have the following two options:
- earth dust + breath of life = living soul of man;
- lifeless body + breath of the Creator = living person.
It can be seen from the formula that each of us is endowed with a body and a thinking mind. And as long as we breathe (we have the breath of God in us), we are living beings. Our soul is alive. Death is any cessation of life, it is non-existence. The human body becomes dust, the breath (the spirit of life) returns back to the Creator - to God. When we leave, our soul slowly dies, subsequently reborn. A rotting corpse remains in the ground. More on this later.
What happens to the soul when a person dies?
Our soul is freed from the body for several days, having gone through several stages of purification:
- On the third day after death, the etheric body dies. At the same time, it is customary to arrange the first funeral dinner.
- Six days later, the death of the astral body occurs . Wake up again.
- On the fortieth day, after a person has rested, his mental body dies. And again a wake. In addition, on the same day, the casual body dies away - the human soul becomes clean, like a white sheet of paper, and is ready to enter into a circle of rebirth.
So what happens to the soul when a person dies? From all of the above, we can conclude that she returns to the Creator, and does not go to heaven or hell. But let me! But what about the Bible, which says that our soul after death goes either to heaven or to hell? More on this later.
Where do the souls of dead people go?
Today, scientists are trying to prove the existence of heaven and hell by collecting the testimonies of people who returned "from the other world." Who does not understand - I'm talking about survivors of clinical death. Their testimonies coincide to the smallest detail! Unbelieving people say that they saw hell with their own eyes: they were surrounded by snakes, demons and a terrible stench. Those who have “visited” paradise speak of light, fragrance and lightness.
Where are the souls of dead people?
The clergy and doctors who communicated with such people noticed an interesting peculiarity: those who “visited” paradise returned to their physical body enlightened and calm, and those who “saw” hell tried for a very long time to recover from a nightmare. Specialists summarized all the evidence and memories of the "dead" people, after which they concluded that heaven and hell really exist, with the first being at the top and the second at the bottom. Everything is exactly the same as in the description of the afterlife according to the Bible and the Qur'an. As we see, there is no consensus. And it is absolutely fair. In addition, the Bible says that "the day of judgment will come, and the dead will rise from their graves." Friends, it remains to hope that in our age of zombies the apocalypse does not fall out!
It is important!
So, friends, we have examined some aspects of the afterlife of man. I tried to most accurately state some of the views of modern scholars on this issue. Now, seriously. Do you know what happens to the soul when a person dies? So I don’t know! Nobody knows the answer to this question: neither I, nor you, friends, nor scientists ... We can only assume based on certain unproven facts of the clinical death of people. There is no direct evidence of life after death or death after death, so we can only operate on the unproven arguments that science provides us with. As they say, all the deceased carry a secret with them to the grave ...
