1 | Christians ambivalent about death? | Phil 1:23 | Aixen7z4 | 97786 | ||
Comments: Heaven is a wonderful place. The main thing about it is, that tJesus is there. And we want to be with him! He also longs to have us there (John 17:24). It is the ultimate destination where every Christian will be whether through death or the Rapture. Some "Christians will fight tooth and nail to the very last breath to resist death"? Christians usually look forward to being in heaven and they are not afraid of death. They say, "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" They say, "The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ". They believe that it is better to die, because it means they will be absent from the body and present with the Lord. Sometimes they can't quite make up their minds about leaving, though, because they believe they are needed here, to lead others to the Savior, and to answer questions like this. |

Aixen7z4 While death is still our enemy, I think as Christians we should never fear it and probably should look forward to our home going. I think much of the resistance to death is simply a lack of faith and fear of the unknown. I always chuckle at the raised from the dead stories we here about in Pentecostal circles. I have always said if I died and someone prayed me back or caused me to be raised from the dead I would kill them. Yet we are to get great excitement from hearing of a brother or sister raised from the dead. Jesus raised people from the dead to validate and prove who He was. But we have to remember He did it before He lead captivity captive into heaven. I would think if Lazarus had been called out of heaven to walk upon this earth once again he would have been pretty upset. My feeling is like Paul I believe I’m still here because God isn’t finished with me but the minute He is I want to go home!!!!!!! And no don’t do CPR on me. EdB |
