Life After Death Installment #2

Life After Death Installment #1           


  In my first installment I spoke about what I believed in spiritually involving the afterlife. I have that post linked above. For this installment I will speak about the afterlife in general, and what other people believe happens when you die.  There are people who believe in ghosts, souls who do not leave earth and wonder forever. There are people who believe in a version of Heaven, each have a different idea. Some stay you'll be reunited with you loved ones who have passed, others say Heaven is a place where anything you could every want will happen there after death. Then there are people who think nothing happens when you died, your body just gets added to the circle of life.
Bertrand Russell stated that he did not understand how people could believe in Hell, a place of dread and despair, and be accepted into Heaven. Which I hope I understood that correctly. I do understand, it goes into account that the job or role of a Christian is to lead people to Christ not judge them or decide what path they will go down. That is how I've always took that concept, because it is concerning to believe in both. But to believe in God you have to believe in Judas, they are two side of the same coin, and there can not be one without the other. The souls that do not go to Heaven fell into the arms of Judas and did not accept Jesus into their hearts. Which does make me feel guilty, but I have to remind myself, that decision is not mine to make it is the other person's. I do find comfort in being with my family one day when we all pass. I do not know of someone who would not. People need to have some short of faith that they believe in, it does not need to be Christianity, but something to bring them hope in life or something to turn to in the good and bad times during their lifetime.

  1. I really like the approach that you took on this topic. For one, many people hate having to think about life after death so taking different interpretations is very interesting to hear. The videos were also helpful!
