Bible Question (short): Can we change eternity after death? |
Question (full): Greetings Good Samaritan! Thanks for the response! I still do not believe that Scripture teaches that people can accept or reject Christ after death. This seems to be what you are saying! If I have misunderstood you please let me know! The evidence from Scripture seems very strong that a persons "fate" is set at death. Consider the following evidence. 1) Heb. 9:27 says, "Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment," 2) The thief on the cross was told by Jesus "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43). 3) Paul said that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord - Phil. 1:23 and 2 Cor. 5:8. 4) Finally, in the story of Lazarus and the Rich Man (Luke 16:19-31), the rich man desperately wanted relief from his suffering but was told, "And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’" This would definitely indicate that upon death, a person's eternal destiny is sealed.
