At the time of death

Have you heard someone saying that "Jesus has come to take him" or something simmilar to that ?
Or else how would a soul find heaven after death ?

 

You'll have to wait until Judgment day if you wanna go to heaven. Until then, prolonged hibernation.

 

Not exactly, if you know someone who is very much devoted to his God, it seems few minutes before the person die, he can see god /messenger of god coming to take him.

 

I'm agnostic, but I actually had an after death experience. I was in a hospital and I felt like I was fading out. It sounds weird but I really wasn't scared at all. I rose above to the ceiling and I could see the doctor and nurses working on my body. Then I felt some kind of suction and went through the ceiling and suddenly I was in the most beautiful green grassy field. I didn't see anyone else there but it was the most wonderful and peaceful place. Somehow I was being forced to go back, and I was actually mad about it. I kind of feel like a lunatic telling that story, but it is true and really happened. That is why I could never be an atheist. I'm not sure if any of these religions are true, but I feel like there is more than we understand.

 

That is an amazing experience...

 

Were you really at hospital or you were dreaming altogether?

 

Yeah, I was really at the hospital. But if there is a G-d and you die, I don't think you have to worry about finding G-d, I think he/she will find you.

 

can you explain to me why you spell god ,G-d

 

I do know one thing. When judgement day comes, those who have judged will be judged harsher than those who have not judged.

 

Hi Pizzaman,
As you are probably aware, it is Jewish tradition. It is based on the commandment that you should not take the name of G-d in vain. As an agnostic, I am not spelling G-d this way to follow any tradition. It is just that I promised someone that I would spell it that way, so I am.

 

Some people don't want to stir anything up so they just say it generically..

 

by doing that you are promoting god i hope you realize that.

 

If that is the worst I get accused of today, I'll be happy.

 

Your going to find this hard to belive but I know the answer, and it was not something I was told or read in a book, it it knowledge i gained through gnosis.
You go where you put your mind.
You have infinity to pick from.
Your body goes into the ground, your memories live on in the minds of your loved ones, and your energy flows to wherever you believe it will in the infinate multiverse of posibilities.
Unless you let go of who you think you are, then you become one with this multiverse, you remember infinity and you know/are everything.

 

No doubt. There are certainly bigger sins than honoring an uncomfortable commitment.

 

Thanks for sharing this.

I have been having a hard time coming to terms with the concept of death since a couple of my close family members have passed away recently and this makes me feel a lot better about it.

 

At that time I hope I can see an angel to take me away.

 

darksat, that is the thing that I came up with years ago. I think it fits in with religion, agnosticism, and athiesm (as long as one believes in some sort of spritual essence, which does not have to mean a belief in a diety). I think you already know how it fits in to agnosticism, but for religion.... If you really believe in God/god/any other diety then you believe that your spiritual essence belongs to that being. If that's the case, isn't it more likely that it is not the being that rejects you but you not being able to believe in that acceptance so you remove yourself? So in my mind, even if the theists are right, your essence still returns to the "central pool", so to speak, but your last thoughts that echo through your essence is that you are not granted access. In reality, you still go there, but you end up being that essence in the corner at the party. You can't escape it. Return is inevitable, whether you open yourself to the experience or close yourself of from it is all about you.

Ever notice that most religions assume that animals in nature are granted this (okay, not the big ones, but most in number not in number of believers)? Or what about babies? Why is this? Because they are still so close to nature that they don't know to think otherwise. I believe that religion came about because man had lost connection with nature on Earth and had to come up with some way to point themselves back with that connection (when all they really had to do was accept that it was inevitable).
