AN ENCOURAGING THOUGHT ABOUT DEATH
aqrinc:
Judy,
You overcome by Resting in the Finished Work Of Jesus Christ; not by anything from you.
but by His Grace Through His Faith Freely Given to you. Renewing your mind; learn truth;
unlearn the programming you brought out with you.
(KJV)
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
(CLV)Eph
2:8 For in grace, through faith, are you saved, and this is not out of you; it is God's approach present,
Eph 2:9 not of works, lest anyone should be boasting."
Eph 2:10 For His achievement are we, being created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God makes ready beforehand, that we should be walking in them."

Thanks everyone but I really don't care anymore. There's a ressurrection and when it happens, well, whatever. It's not up to me anyway, I'll just continue living for now. I have my memories of loved ones and I keep them close to me so as long as I live they are with me and that is all that matters for now. Judy

Before you go; look at and read these Scripture.
John: 6: 63-68
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Joh 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
Joh 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
Joh 6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Joh 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
Joh 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

dear judy,
please do not be discouraged. it is a very hard thing to learn that what we have believed for most of our lives regarding life after death is a myth, a fairy tale that helps us feel good thinking that our loved ones who have passed are with the Lord. i pray you might read the paper of ray's which patrick gave the link to regarding death. i lost my father unexpectedly 4 yrs ago and at that time i had not heard of the bible-truths website, so i had no spiritual understanding of the true state of the dead. i have recently discussed with my mother the Truth from the scriptures that those that are dead are asleep with no thought, no pain or suffering, no worries, etc. she so wants to hold on to her belief, taught at the baptist church she attends, that believers who die are with God in heaven. this cannot be so. if they are in heaven already it means they have already stood before God to be judged and held accountable for their life. in the Day of the Lord, when Christ is revealed, ALL saints will be raised, and any saints still living when Christ is revealed will be changed. i have been reading through the paper ray wrote, as God gave him insight, regarding revealing the truths of the (secret) rapture. there is so much i am learning that God is showing me regarding the whole resurrection matter. if you are still wanting to know the truths from God's holy scriptures i exhort you to read through that teaching. it is very long, so i just read a little bit each evening.
regarding what you said about your loved ones (that have passed away), and your holding onto their memories keeping them close to you and as long as you live they are with you, that is the truth. i and most others on this forum have lost loved ones, and we keep memories of the close to our hearts, and as long as we live we will most likely continue to do so. when our times then comes to die, we too will be a close kept memory of some other loved ones. but, please, please stay open to learning the truth about where our deceased loved ones are. if you truly don't care anymore, you are no longer teachable.
love in Christ,
claudia
