I have always been curious of the prospect of post-death. I was wondering what your guy'S positions in it were. Do you think there is something more or you are simply gone? If you have any examples or stories regarding anything I would love to hear them! Sir Lucifer

I of course voted for the "Heaven or Hell" option, but I would like to expand on what the orthodox christian view is (which I myself hold).
While those that are saved to go to heaven, it's not the final destination. Ultimately all the saints in heaven will return to the new earth when it is "re-created" (or rather is restored to it's original state prior to the fall), at the end of history.

no reason in nature to think there's anything after death.

But how does it work if your personality and soul us made as you live? Woudnt that be developed with you brain over your life which, when you die, also dies?

To heaven or hell I shall go! I ask your the same question, if you do believe in heaven and he'll, which is fiNE, how do you get there? Arn't who you are as a person made inside of yourself over the years? So when your essence dies woudnt you die as well?

It's the spiritual side of things, and your soul is eternal. It should be noted however that drawing again upon orthodox Christianity, there is the resurrection that occurs with the "re-creation" of the earth, and all the saints souls are returned to their bodies. Again this is at the end of history.

To state it another way, it's the difference in belief of if your physical brain is what makes you you, or if it's your soul.
I (and I'd assume Death Angel as well) believe it's your soul that makes you unique, and makes you you.

Ah okay, so you have your soul "attached" to your body when you are born? Also,If this is the case why do people have no recollection of memories from our past on a wide scale? How were we made to begin with? If we are sent into the plains of another world after death because our soul was attached to us when we moved on, how was it made to begin with?

How were we made to begin with? If we are sent into the plains of another world after death because our soul was attached to us when we moved on, how was it made to begin with? It is said in the scriptures that God knows us even before we were born ("Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5) and i believe this is the soul He is talking about. Before our souls entered into our body they were known by God. This is the typical Creation vs Evolution argument. Christians believe that God created us in his own image and it was during the week of the creation of creation as we know it. Evolution goes by theories and I'm sure you all know the arguments for that side of things. I'm not trying to say my view is right over any others but this is just my beliefs and how I view this topic. I don't believe that we are on this world for nothing because if there is no life after death what even is the point of living? From where do people get their morals if they believe they are just going to live on the earth for a short while and then die?
