When I'm asking this question I mean when you die in your earthly physically body. How much do you know? How much are you aware of? What happens to it physically? Do you see Jesus right away or does your soul stay inside your body until Christ returns to take everybody to Heaven with Him and physically resurrects bodies? I know that there is mixed opinions about the last part but yes I do believe you either go to Heaven instantly after you die because of this Bible verse. Luke 23:43.
 
I'm thinking that God is Spirit and God breathed his Spirit into man and gives life that procreates so that life goes back to God automatically. Spirit cannot die. I noticed the scripture says about not fear who can kill the body and soul, yet Spirit is left out because the Spirit cannot die, and the Spirit is God, and God is the Spirit and the Spirit is life.

Body, Soul, Spirit.
 
When we physically die there is no more brain action and our five senses cease to exist. This body will turn back to dust from from it's made of and our breath/ spirit that made us a living soul goes back to God until the day Christ returns as no one has ever gone to heaven physically when they died, Genesis 2:7; Ecc 12:7; John 3:13.
 
Idk, I know this is a really strange question but it really got me curious. Especially since I heard that your body breathes, poops, and farts after you die and you have a little brain activity left.
 
I think dying is going to be unique for all of us.
Year's ago I thought I was going to die. I've experienced much physical pain in my life, but none more intense than the pain I felt.

The pain was so intense, I cried out to God that if this is what dying felt like, I didn't want to die. It really, really hurt.

On the other hand, I was on the phone with my Mom and brother when my Mom died. She was comfortable and died in peace with my brother by her side and me on the phone. It was painless and comfortable.
 
I have read testimonies and watched the videos of people who had a NDE and then later revived and they all seem to be in agreement that, there is no pain and a feeling of much love and feel good lots of energy comes over one. Several people recount that getting back into their earthly body...feels terrible after what they have experienced.

In scripture, when Steven is being stoned to death, he is feeling no pain for sure and the Heavens had opened in vision to him and it is described in a way which sounds like...it is a good thing with good feelings.

Now those are God's people which belong to Him and will be saved. It is probably different for nonbelievers!
 
In the last days, there will be be people that are martyred for Jesus is what scripture says, right?

When that happens to individual believers...I would bet money that, they will have no pain and simply a release into love. The Lord will turn off the pain within them at the right moment and then receive them unto Him Self.

I do not fear death for these reasons. The Lord is good to us in life and will be good to us in (fleshy) death also.

Yeah and I think that some people have even reported seeing a great light coming out of a tunnel of darkness which fits because it could be really symbolic in the sense that death is darkness and Jesus is the light that saves you from it. :cross
 
Medically, it probably depends on our state as to how much we are aware of. If we were totally unconscious and we couldn't hear others or even know what was going on and then passed on, maybe it might be surprising to be leaving this earth. Other times, we would probably be completely aware and it may be frightening.

I cannot say I have died because I am still here, but I remember having a seizure in my bedroom. My limbs started shaking and I could not stop it. I was scared. I must have become unconscious as I was curled up on my side on the edge of my bed away from my blanket and pillow. I opened my eyes, looked at the time and it was about 3 or 4 am or so and I was still scared. I tried to call for help, but my lungs were running out of air...literally. I could not breathe in. The phrase, "I saw my life flash before my eyes." I get it. I was thinking about my loved ones and what they would do without me at a rapid pace and I was sure that was it, I was dying. I prayed that God would keep me. I never thought the mind could think all those thoughts so fast. The last of the air in my lungs slipped away and I still couldn't breathe. I blacked out. My heart must have stopped. I don't know for how long, no one else was there. Everything was black, I didn't see anything, but I know it wasn't my time to. Thankfully I came back, but I was terrified.

Another time I was going into shock from blood loss. Everything went black even though I felt like my eyes were open. My ears were ringing loudly and then black silence. I didn't see anything different, but then again, not my time. When I was awake, I was too exhausted to even dwell too much on what had just happened.

Some medical professionals have written books on things they notice when a patient passes away. They believe that if God wasn't real there wouldn't be all these strange correlations of people seeing a bright presence, looking up above them, etc.

Supposedly some last words of atheists if you have seen that YouTube video seemed to feel like there was a God and they were afraid because they felt such darkness. There are probably a lot of different feelings there before we pass on if we are aware of it.

I don't know if people breathe any after death...I wouldn't think so since bodily functions cease to work properly. Many times when people die, everything in the body completely relaxes, and is not functional. This can cause bodily fluids to be released. The body also has a tendency to build up gases after death when the body is decomposing.

I personally believe we go to see God right after we die.

My dad being epileptic remembers every seizure he had and details of what was said what was done to him

That's weird man. I've been epileptic most of my life and have only ever felt one seizure about to happen. (When I was on the highway and about to roll my truck!). Usually I don't feel anything, I just wake up. Usually I kind of just fade into the conversation, usually talking to paramedics or whoever.

I can be having a drawn out conversation with someone and not be conscious yet. Then I wake up and realize I am talking to someone! Then I realize my head hurts and it occurs to me what happened.

That one and only seizure that I had which I felt happening....was after having been seizure free for 11 years and I was trying to quit smoking pot, and on the 4th day, I had the seizure. It had to be a blessing and a grace from God, that I was able to feel the seizure starting...and that was when I cried out to the Lord for help, Lord be with me....and He was. It was all I had time to do.

So do I and yeah I remember when I had my first and only seizure when I was around five or six. All I remember is that it was really scary and I thought that I was having a nightmare at first.

I thought that time I was having a nightmare, too, at first. It was hard to explain to doctors because no one witnessed it, they were not 100% sure if it was a seizure or a nightmare, but I know what it was.
