Where Do We Go From Here? – The State of the Dead
Where Do We Go From Here? – The State of the Dead
Verse of the day:
"Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them." Luke 12:37
Who more than a mother who has lost a child can possibly want to cling to the thought of our loved ones going to heaven when they die? To think of our child frolicking happily, pain-free, spreading wings of lavish white feathers, being entertained by family who have arrived before them. To think of them beside us when we cry, watching over us as we experience life's joys and sorrows. Do we truly "follow the white light" to the gates of heaven? Is this all biblically based? Or is it a misinterpretation of a few key scriptures, easier to believe because it is much more appealing than the alternatives? What are the alternatives?
All my life I believed in heaven and hell. I've believed those who experienced violent or sudden deaths sometimes got lost "in between" because either they did not realize they were dead, or they had unfinished business to attend to before they could "follow the light", or that our refusal to let them go in our hearts would hinder their ascending to heaven. I've also believed some remain with vengeance in mind, while others were sent back to help other people as guardian angels. You may think of these beliefs as wacky or you may agree. The point is, these are things many people believe without any biblical foundation to back it up. Many will fight tooth and nail to protect what they believe even if it can't be proven with scripture.
There is so much information in the bible and on the web about this subject it can be hard to know what to believe. Both sides sound so convincing. I will be listing scriptures which I believe will make it clear what the bible says. I will also be listing scriptures which represent the beliefs of those who believe different than I do.
