gmik:
funerals....I have been to several lately.....and they all say the same stupid things.....the deceased is now in the "big golf course", big "train depot", big shopping mall or whatever, in the sky and they are always looking down at us....these are Christian services that say they believe the Bible.
but REALLY....
where do they get this??  I smile and shut my mouth.

Oh well.

I am watching 20/20 tonite on heaven and hell.....scheeeesh.....

the truth:
Gmik,
Recently I preached a friends funeral and Of course I gave them everything I have learned in truth from Ray.And others here on the forum.It was the most amazing thing to see the looks on their faces when I told them Mitch was a sleep...you know death is sleep.And I went on to proclaim Gods truth for His creation.Afterwards I did have a few come up and say that was the most awesome message they ever heard at a funeral.But the rest looked at me as if I would be the next to be laid to rest....ouch!That is whats so awesome about truth it brings hope to ANY situation!

Hi Gena,

The way I see it, is it's what their human reasoning comes up with. They don't have any spiritual understanding to know the truth of it, so they think up what their carnal mind would want heaven to be. It shows how far human reasoning is from the glory of what mind of God will have.

Isa 55:8  For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor your ways My ways, says Jehovah.
v. 9  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

mercy, peace and love

Yeah.

Maybe you should trace the history of funerals, as well as the sociological connotations about the rituals.

I guess they are good bussines for pastors (-oh God I pray somebody would die soon, because I am getting out of cash... In Jesus name. Amen. :I  ), and the ones on the flowers bussines and for the funerary, etc..

Even dying can get so expensive these days...

The big golf course..

The big cheese factory

The big wine cellar

The big ...

Everything's bigger in heaven. 

Heaven must be Texas.  :D


(Hey Jerry - I really enjoyed reading your reply. Wow, it's fascinating to see people's reactions when you set their mind-machines a-whirring with The Truth.)
