What do think happens to us when we die? Where do our spirits go, if you believe they go anywhere? Or do you believe we just die and that's it?

I believe our spirits return to God. We live in a state of peace and happiness or a less favorable state, depending on our life on earth. We can learn and grow in the spirit world. We can learn more about God and have a chance to get closer to him. We wait in the spirit world for the resurrection and final judgement. In the resurrection, our spirits and bodies are reunited and we become physical again. Except, our physical bodies are immortal. We will stay in the resurrected state forever.

If we had all these answers then we would probably be dead....I think that we can only wait and see. I would rather wait a while to find out though.

hi,
according to my knowledge;
we have three bodies. physical body, spirit body and body of ego (nafs). spirits are not created. it is from God. therefor it does not die. body of ego is the body we use in our dreams. physical body is the tool we need to be here. when God cuts off the energy, we die. in case person did not wish to reach God in his life time, then he dies with the spirit with him. during that process an angel named Azrael and his helpers bring death and take back that spirit to return it to God.
Person who dies does not lose conscious. he sees his funeral and everything. he'd be buried. in his grave, he'd be with some angels. he'd be shown his life film. this process takes 40 days. even if the one who died was 2 years old or 90 years old, it would be 40 days. in that film, person sees all the acts he's done. if an act was a sin, he'd have torment from angels, if it's an good deed, he'd have roominess from angels. torment and relaxation come after one another. all the graves are not the same. some narrow, some very big inside. depends on who's waiting in it.
body of ego, our dream bodies keeps on drifting where we usually go when we sleep. it is a dimension named Berzah.
the first person who died was son of Adam(PBUH) he was killed by his brother cos of jealousy. ages ago. before the end of whole creation the last alive ones would die. yet from the first one to the last one, all the people would perceive the time they spend in their graves was very short. they would feel like they spent a day maybe. they would raise from death to come together before God in a place named Mahsar.

I believe you just die and rot. And I don't believe in souls or spirits.
But is final final, that's the thing.

When one dies, one goes back to the spiritual realm. There is no judgment (GOD knows one has already experienced enough of this from our fellow physical Beings). Once in the spiritual realm, one can plan or continue purpose for either an existence in the spiritual realm or plan an incarnation into another physical existence (this incarnation does not necessarily have to be human nor does it have to be on this planet). One also has the option to permanently discontinue their existence (not really a popular option). Every physical entity follows this procedure.

No one, and I mean, NO ONE, knows for sure what happens. Everyone is afraid of the "what if I'm wrong?" no matter how hard they try to deny it to themselves or to others.
Sure, as far as science knows, nothing happens. But then again, as far as I know, science hasn't really conducted any real studies about what happens when we die, because it simply CANNOT be studied by current science and technology, therefore, you really can't formulate a scientific answer to this question.
Old books tell us what happens, but there are so many books that it's really impossible to know for sure which one is right. Religiously, you just have to trust that what you believe is right and will happen the way you've been taught it will happen.

Does this mean a lot of Christians are wasting their time trying to get to heaven?
Try reading the rest of my post, logician. And actually, I had you in mind.

I can't remember who first posted it, but I read it on this site, about 3 or 4 years ago. The person answering was an atheist, and they were trying to explain to a theist what they thought it would be like after they had died.
This isn't verbatim, but the exchange essentially went like this:
Atheist - "What year were you born"
Theist - "1957"
Atheist - "What was it like for you in 1956?"
Theist - "I don't know, I wasn't around then"
Atheist - "And that is what it will be like, 20 minutes after you have died".
I don't know if that is true or not, but I subscribe to that supposition.

:flirt:
and theist did not say oldest memory he could ever remember was from 1961?
ok then

Only problem with that, we also can't remember what it was like when we were infants, and often people can't even remember much about their early childhoods. Don't forget to take amnesia into consideration. If reincarnation is correct, maybe the process has the side effect of spiritual amnesia. (I know that's pretty weak, but it's meant to be an example, not an argument) Granted, that is the best atheist argument about what happens when we die I've seen.

When a certain part of your brain deactivates the soul disconnects and your personality awakens in the next level. Usually the personality is greeted by a relative or someone they trust. The personality is then escorted to it's adjudication where every possible detail of it's life is available for it's own private examination. At this point the personality learns whether it is "saved" or not. This means it learns whether the soul has decided to add the personality to it.
If not, the personality ceases to exist and the soul joins with another lifeform to experience this dimension and build to it's own personality. If the personality is chosen then the soul and the personality fuse forever and nothing can separate them.
