Why don't our loved ones contact us or try to stay in touch with us after they've passed away?

From beyond the grave One can read in Mark 12:26-27 But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning book passage, how God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.? 27 " He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken One can read in Luke 16 verse 19-31 This is the story of the rich man and Lazarus Contact from Beyond the Grave Here are some opinions and ideas: Here is what happened to Adam (the first man) at his death. God told him: "You will return to the ground, for out of it you were taken.

For dust you are and to dust you will return. " (Genesis 3:19) Think of what that means. Before God created him from the dust, there was no Adam.

He did not exist. So, after he died, Adam returned to that same state of nonexistence. Simply stated, death is the opposite of life.

The Bible shows this at Ecclesiastes 9:5,?10. According to the Authorized or King James Version, these verses say: "For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not any thing." This means that the dead cannot do anything and cannot feel anything.

They no longer have any thoughts, as the Bible states: "Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. He goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish." (Psalm 146:3,?4) At death man's spirit, his life-force, which is sustained by breathing, "goes out. " It no longer exists.

So man's senses of hearing, sight, touch, smell and taste, which depend upon his being able to think, all stop working. According to the Bible, the dead enter a state of complete unconsciousness. So, that is why they don't "keep in touch When a person is in a very deep sleep, he remembers nothing.

It is similar with the dead. They have no feelings at all. They no longer exist.

But, in God? S due time, the dead who are ransomed by God will be raised to life. (John 5:28) Dead people are DEAD.

They can't contact anyone Dead people can and do contact us in our dreams I would assume that like any thing in any life there are rules, there are rules here, not just human rules, nature has rules and 'laws' as will life and I think that just like us contacting them is debatable as to whether its right or wrong, if there is life after death then there is probably a good chance that they have the same kind of rules so therefor they may not be 'allowed' to contact us as it could be breaking some rules or laws of their land. Or maybe when they do contac people its for a specific reason maybe they don't have any reason to contact you maybe you have to ask in a specific way, this could bespecific to the rules 'there' specific to your loved one, specific to your beliefs. Being a practicing pagan on my cats 6 month anniversary of his death, I wrote down on a piece of paper what I wanted to say to him, what I wanted him to know, asking the 'powers that be' to pass it on to him and if its possible could he let me know he got my message and thanked the powers and use candle magic and nutmeg and burned it up to ash and I spread it out the window.

Within 2 wks of this I had a dream about him, one ive never ever had before about any dead relative I asked him if he knew I loved him and he said yes, we showed our affection to eath other and I woke up. I swear I never had any dream of that kind before, my dreams are usually varied, crazy, dead people alive, alive people dead but nothing like that has happened before, and I didn't ask for it to. I am half skeptical in life and about this dream itself so I don't know if it was him or was just my mind giving me the peace I need and want so I won't tell you it was but its your choice what you take from that then of course there is the possibility that there is no afterlife or ghosts so of course they cant contact you then it all depends on what you believe, what you are willing to believe and what you want to believe I have on several occasions had relatives to say goodby to me on their way out.

A wise man I knew visited me several times after he withdrew from the physical. Most people have not yet developed the sensitivity to detect these things, but it is available I doubt the "dead" are focused on the living at all For it is appointed once for man to die and THEN then judgment 1-Our loved ones in spirit do try to vist us all the time but the signs are very subtle. They can also vist us in our dreams.

Unless you have natural mediumship abilities or are willing to got to a spiritualist church and sit in circle and develop your mediumship you will not be able to see or hear them.So the best way in that case would be to vist a medium. Our loved ones in spirit are only a thought away, so though you can not hear them, send them a thought as they do hear you. 2 -When we die, we automatically go into the spirit world regardless of beliefs.

There is no devil or hell. The Bible uses this fear to control people. We are spirit and when we leave our body ( the shell) we have a carbon copy.

Energy cannot be destroyed. People that say life after death is rubbish are ignorant. They cannot prove there is no life after death.

Their opinion comes from others that are also ignorant. There are very many eminent scientists through history that have investigated life after death survival and agree this is true. Not one scientist that has researched it has said there is no life after death.So therefore anyone that tells you there is no life after death can not prove it nor have they investigated it, therefore cannot make the claim they are an expert in this field Answer Most people don't know how to tune into that type of energy ,but they do!

Contact from Beyond the Grave one of the reasons is becaus some of our dead loved ones don't want to leave us and the want to protect us and make sure we are doing the right choices in life NEW ANSWER: Once someone dies, they're no longer a part of our lives... we can still think about them, and miss them, but once dead, THEY ARE DEAD AND HAVE NO CONTACT WITH PEOPLE ON EARTH. When someone dies, they either go to heaven where they live with God, Jesus, the 12 deciples, and any other Christian that has died... Or they go down to "The pitt" where they live in pain, anguish, torture, Satan, and all others that have choosen the wrong path during their lifetime. Now if you're wondering how Satan came about, it was like this... Satan used to be an angel, yes that's right, he lived with God.

But he decided he should be able to rule heaven and earth, and God saw the evil in his heart, so he band him from heaven. Now tell me, would you rather live with God, all other ancestors that were Christian, or live in torture? Now the Bible tells us that we will be given a new body in heaven... one pure.

And in heaven, there is no pain, no grieff... so the way I take this verse, I think it meens that we won't remember the family members that weren't Christian, because if we did remember them, we would know that they were in pain, and that would make us sad... but there is no Sorrow in heaven The REAL answer Ok guys this last answer has no Biblical proof behind it. The First answer however is pretty much right on...except for the part where the person contradicts themselves and says "the dead are dead and they cannot contact us" and then right under that it says that "dead people can and do contact us in our dreams".....of course, it cannot be both. The first one is correct in that the dead know nothing and they CANNOT contact us that are living.

You might be asking "who then is it that appears to us as dead relatives and friends, maybe in our dreams or otherwise? "....think about this one....if the real dead cannot contact you, who else is there besides God that has the power to manifest himself into different shapes and who knows us very well? Yes, that's right, its the devil himself.

Be very wary if you think you are speaking with a dead person...its Satan and his demons trying to confuse you by making you turn away from the Bible (which says that the dead cannot contact us) and make you believe that infact the dead "can and do" contact us.....its all a lie given to us by the devil himself Spirits never die and they definitely contact you after they pass away and it is not demons or the devil. That information is pure ignorance and based on fear.......When a person passes they speak many times to you but you have to be very sensitive to be able to hear it and it can actually be very funny and it doesn't take you away from the Bible or GOD...It brings you closer to GOD and it actually helps you with the loss....There are many OUT DATED fearful people that should do some research and reading beyond the twisted way that they interpret the BIBLE.....There are many layers in reality and learning about them is not a bad idea....People who state things like the above paragraph are the kind of people that do things to others in the name of GOD and act as if it is perfectly fine because they found some line in the bible and they twist the view to their narrow minded viewpoint.....GOD IS love and that is it...The spirit never dies....Plain and simple do some research and you will find you would not be saying that when a person passes you can't hear them and they are dead....What an archaic way of understanding the world! NEW ANSWER: Well, I agree with the guy or girl above me.

We cant hear them so we have to tune our selves to their level so we can hear them. But then again when someone goes to the other side, they can cross the veil that seperates the normal world with the spirit world. And as time goes on that veil starts to get thicker and it gets harder for the person that died to communicate with us, belive me they do alot to try and get our attention but were too busy working or doing something else to pa attention, like sylvia browne said "They want to contact us but theyre having to much fun and trying to understand whats going on to contact us.

I recommened you read her book called "Temples on the other side" and itll give you some explanations and facts that you havent probaly heard before. Me I know there is an afterlife, we are all here on assignment to learn for god to feel emotions and to better ourselves in this earth, seriously, all of us that are living in this planet are brave, why? Because this planet is called by the people back home (A.K. A other side) The dark planet, but I won't go into all of that read her book and many others and you won't think that were alone in this planet there is more than just our solar system, check out www.wingmakers.co.nz I think these guys are a race from another time if true they have some usefull information there as well.

If any one has any questions feel free to message me at charkra6@AOL. Com names Edward by the way new answer There is a belief that we are reborn life after life depending on our past activities. There may be a small time gap in between which would account for "ghostly" sightings.

We will be reborn perpetually until we turn our back on this material world, and then we may reach Heaven or as the Srimad Bhagavatam calls it Godhead. Therefore we may have been male or female in our past lives: plant or animal or fish or man. Indeed, anything that breathes.

This gives rise to the idea that we are all inter-related: breed and creed. So make the most of the living and treat every new person as a possible friend, for they may well have been in a previous life.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
