You should specify what sort of answer you want, because there are several.
You are dead when you take your last breath. There is no way to identify the last breath until the corpse rots, so "near death" stories are strictly fiction.
When you die, the soul dies, the body rots, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. The bible speaks of hell, which is a hole, which is a grave: everybody goes there, and you are simply dead: no awareness, no more a part in worldly dealings forever.
The physical process is rather involved, and scientists are still studying that.
I am pleased that you like my answers. My knowledge comes from studying the bible, and that is very different from the knowledge you get from preachers of various denominations. There are thousands of denominations, but only one bible.
As for Satan, consider Luke 4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
"Delivered unto me," get it? Satan is the god of earthly authority. According to Job, he uses diseases, natural disasters, and other people to attack God's people, but he only has that authority when people have fear in their lives. Job's fear was subtle, that's why God was able to restrain Satan, saying "touch not his face."
Wow! I've never really thought about that, but the bible states multiple times that Satan is a deceiver and comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I will look into it, thanks!
I have a question that I don't think any one understands, could you help me figure it out? It's called How is sin our fault? I got two answers, but they don't seem to get what I mean. If you have time, please look into it. Thanks!
Sin, singular, is the absence of spirit. Adam had a spirit but it died and so he was unable to bequeath a spirit to his offspring. That is why everybody is born in sin, not because Mommy and Daddy did the big nasty. That is why a savior had to die in our place and make it possible to create a new spirit for us.
Sins, plural, are mistakes, such as throwing a dart and missing the bullseye. Christians are baptised into Christ's death, and dead bodies don't sin, so sins are not an issue for Christians. There is no more forgiveness. Either you believe in Jesus and are saved or you don't believe and are lost.
So basically, the absence of spirit in Adam preventing us having one either? Can we regain it,
That is the subject of the entire bible. The punishment for Adam's treason was death, so God sent His son to die for Adam's sin, and by that sacrifice we are now able to have the spirit of Jesus born within. That is the meaning of "born again".
Read a chapter of Proverbs every day. Proverbs has 31 chapters so you can keep your place by just looking at a calendar. There is no religion or nothing in Proverbs and you don't have to believe anything. Just read to find wisdom. When you are comfortable with that, then read the bible from Romans to 2 Thessalonians over and over until you start to remember what it says. That is the part that applies to Christians.

ok, so adam passed on absence of spirit?
"ok, so adam passed on absence of spirit?"
Well, that's kinda like saying "What do you see with your ears?" If you want to understand the bible you need to be aware of what the words mean and what they don't mean. "Passed on absence of spirit" is just meaningless. Adam was unable to pass on a spirit.

Thank you for answering almost every single one of my questions with thoroughness and even extra related information sometimes. I'm not exactly sure how you feel about God, it seems to be a belief I've never even realized existed. To me, you believe in God...but you are in favor of Satan? I'm curious of this. It's new for me. I'd have to disagree however. In one of my previous questions, you answered that God can not change or lie and seemed favorable of Satan. Please don't think that I'm trying to convert you or persuade you that there is only one religion,but I'd at least like to witness to you. God is perfect, he loves us unconditionally, so much that he allows us our own free will, this free will led to evil which is now part of society as a whole, but he died and suffered for our sin, he was perfect. Perfect people can't lie or have any negative output. For example, a paper that the teacher hands back is literally perfect, it cannot be bad because it IS perfect. Thank you for reading this. I look forward to reading more of your answers.
