This has been on my mind lately. Is consciousness physical? Is it just electrical impulses in the brain, or is it something more? Does consciousness live on after the body dies? If so, can it venture out of the physical world? And how do the Christian ideas of Heaven, Hell and souls tie in to all of this?

When your flesh dies, your spirit body is separated from the flesh for ever.

Jesus replied, ".......Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the book of Moses, in the account of the bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!"

I have an opinion that everybody on these boards knows already and doesn't care for. /bread Finally Brent is becoming logical.

Brent, has your brain ever stopped and you have proof that you have no awareness after physical death?

The soul leaves the body and goes into heaven or damnation. Then the body is resurrected at the end of time. Very often Christians mistakenly believe that the body and soul are separated forever, but this is not what Christianity teaches.

This makes more sense to me than us losing our bodies forever after death. Are we conscious in Heaven (or damnation) before our bodies are resurrected, and if so, where does the consciousness come from? Wouldn't we need a "spirit brain"? Just wondering.

We are conscious, with our soul. How could we perceive without a brain?

The mind is immaterial, the brain is only the mind's temporary material computer.

Our spirit is made of energy, which gives us our consciousness and our energy is never destroyed so it goes with us when we die, I guess? I'll be honest I don't fully understand it, Perry Stone talks about it. *prepares for insults because I can't provide sources, especially from Brent*
