1 | What does dying once mean figuratively? | Heb 9:27 | Sir Pent | 21135 | ||
Dear Forumites, In keeping with the idea that all verses are literal until proven figurative by contradiction with other scriptures, I have a qeustion about Hebrews 9:27. The literal meaning is obviously contradicted by people such as Lazarus, Jairus' daughter and Dorcus. They all died once, were resurrected, and then died a second time. So what are we to take this verse to mean? |

2 | What does dying once mean figuratively? | Heb 9:27 | Morant61 | 21146 | ||
Response...................................... Greetings Sir! Here is my take on Heb. 9:27! Heb. 9:27 gives us a general statement of the normal process at the end of life - death, then judgement. Resurrections are miracles. Miracles, be definition, are interruptions of natural processes. So, those who have been resurrected simply start the process over again. They will die and then be judged. Thus, Heb. 9:27 is literally true, but can be interrupted by a miracle! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
