prE4chEr asked:


If you have yourself cryogenically frozen before you die is it considered suicide? What if you are never brought back to life?

Do you think your soul stays with your body, or does it go to heaven? Technically you are dead while you are frozen.

If your soul goes to heaven, do you think you come back from heaven when you get resurrected? Would you have your memories of heaven like the people who die and say they saw their deceased relatives there?

If you go to hell and come back when they resurrect you, could you repent your evil ways and get back in God’s good graces? Or is it a once in hell always in hell situation.

Is there an official church stance on Cryogenics?(Catholic or whatever your church is)
Technically you are dead while you are frozen. You lose all brain functions as well as vital organs. Actually you lose functionality of all organs. You are frozen. When they thaw you out, they have to revive you. You won’t just come back to life on your own. It’s the same as if someone has a heart attack, and they die on the way to the hospital. They have to get the heart started again.

    No, you are still alive when frozen so your soul won’t go nowhere.

    It’s for atheists only. No one else would waste the money.

    Interesting….

    I wonder if the soul is in stasis as well as the body
    when you are frozen.

    Cryogenics - frozen dead people…not frozen “dead” people. When you are dead…yer dead, dude. You can’t be frozen before you die. Death would take place in the process so yeah its suicide. No one has ever been brought back to life after being cryogenically frozen so the odds are it ain’t gonna happen. A persons soul is their body. We don’t each have our own individual spirits that keep us alive and then float away off into oblivion when we die. Each person is a soul according to the Bible and each of us is alive through the divine spirit of God. When we die, we’re dead. No one goes to hell or heaven. Heaven, while a literal place is either the sky, space or beyond space…the heavenlies and the only ones allowed there are God the Father, God the Son, angels and the other heavenly host and people caught up there in visions like John. Hell is a misnomer for the grave, death, the pit…essentially non-exsistance. We know it as the burning lake of sulfer and brimstone but in fact the Bible doesn’t teach that…it teaches that the grave…or Sheol (literally means…”to be covered over”) is to be every persons final destination until the resurrection and that is when, my friend, that people will be restored and then judged. Upon judgement there will be two dispensations…one to eternal life on a new earth under a new heaven or to destruction which is where this earth and all of its corrupt contents will go. That is the lake of burning fire…I believe the earth will be cast into the sun. I don’t know. Anyway, here’s a good tool for you. Got to this address…
    and using the KJV keyword search tool look up these scriptures…important: Use the EXACT PHRASE feature so that you don’t have to wade through near matches.

    consume
    destroyed
    destruction
    death
    second death
    hell and death
    lake of fire
    perdition
    cast out

    for example:

    Isaiah 26:19
    Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall CAST OUT the dead.

    keys
    immortal
    soul
    spirit (spirit when referred to by a person as belonging to them meant emotion, life, energy, constitution not personal immortal spirit. God is the only Immortal Spirit.)

    By the way…if while studying the Bible you can figure out the mystery of the “keys” of the Kingdom of Heaven, then you have much, much more going for you than any symanary university taught Bible scholar. Our hope is in the resurection and our trust should be in Him. It is through Him that we live, move and have our being and by Him, through Him and for Him that we were made…so…what else ya gonna do? Cheat death? Not possible. Love in Christ, ~J~
