Is there an afterlife?

Yes, there is an afterlife, in the sense that after life, Christ will raise us from the dead. Thus, life is eternal. There is life after life!

What is a misconception, is that when we die, we go off into some cloudy, picturesque realm above the clouds where we are invisible 'ghosts' living with other 'ghosts' in a place called 'heaven'. Or that we are sent to a fiery underworld. These are a caricature of the reality of things.
