I am interested in learning what others believe happens after we die. Please share your personal beliefs and please let me know what religion your faiths are associated with (if any).

Our religion believes that you will be reborn again. But as what, depends on the good and bad deed you have done in the current life. Your rebirth can be again as a human being, or as something else.

Thank you for responding. I think generally speaking, those who believe in an afterlife or in a rebirth, share similar feelings when you boil it all down.

I am a Christian the scripture tells us first we sleep (Jb.14:12 so man lies down and does not rise; till the heavens are no more, men will not awake or be roused from their sleep. ) after that we will be awakened by God to be judged (Dn.12:2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. )

Thank you for sharing your insight. I notice the scriptures you quoted are both from the Old Testament. I wonder if people of the Jewish faith share a similar belief.

Thank you for explaining. While I am a Christian, I have a strong respect for and interest in the Jewish faith. When I had to take a theology class in high school (I went to a Catholic school, although I never was Catholic), I thoroughly enjoyed learning the Old Testament. I also took a Bible as Literature course in college and it was taught by a Jewish woman who gave a lot of insight to the scriptures (especially the New Testament), from a non-Christian perspective (she was not a messianic Jew).
