is there life before or after death

The human body does not exist before it is conceived or after it decomposes. On the other hand the spiritual entity know as our soul is eternal. The resurrection of Jesus has shown us that the human body is is temporal but our soul is eternal. Our soul, reflecting Gods thoughts as it does is an integral part of the divine Mind. During this life we must undergo the spiritual development of our soul before our body give in to nature. What we do not understand about God in this life remains to be learnt in the next. It is an ongoing evolution of the soul. An accidental or premature death has no effect on the ability of our soul to continue to know God.
