What is the meaning of afterlife?

Answer

If the Bible says the dead know nothing and are in a sleep state untill the second coming of Christ then imagine where the whole thing about afterlife comes from; it's not from a good place.

I beg your eternal pardon

There is a heaven and a hell, as you are sadly taking that quote out of context, and are assuredly misinterpreting it. It was not meant to depress people, as the Bible is all about the gospel, which is the GOOD NEWS of God. My Lord and Savior died for our sins, and rose from the dead to prove that He was God, and that through Him, we can live eternally, once our bodies decay and our spirits go to be forever with Him.

When you die, regardless of what you believe (I am sorry but beliefs don't change the facts, even the correct ones) you will either go to heaven, if you are saved and in the family of God, and are trusting in His Son, Jesus Christ's power to save you from your sins, or you go to hell, and I do not wish the latter on anyone, not even the most evil of men, as this is in God's hands, and I am quoting and not saying this as an opinion.

We are created in the image of God, as we are created to have dominion over the earth and over the plants and animals, and are created to have a wonderful relationship with our Creator and Savior and are to be with Him in heaven forever.

God (who is Jehovah, Yaweh, the God of the Jews and of Israel) wants all to go to heaven, as He sent His only Son to die on the cross for our sins, though Christ did absolutely nothing wrong to deserve any of the torture that He endured for you and for me, in hopes that you and me and everyone else who ever lived or ever will live will accept Christ's payment for our sin, for the only way to pay for the all past, present, and future sins of mankind was for the perfect Son of God to die for our sins, and to cover our sins with His precious blood, which He shed and did not spill.
