Subject: when we die where do we go |
Bible Note: Nolan, Thanks for the answer. Your statement:"In 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, Paul deals with the "dead in Christ" and assures the Thessalonian Christians that there will be a reunion of loved ones and that they will recognize their loved ones in the eternal state." I would like to put some passages here that somehow I feel will contradict some of your satement: Mt 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. Mt 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. Mt 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. This is not a debate, I would like you to explain such things like this, sometimes it bothers me. I cited in Luke 16:19-31, the rich man, Lazarus. Here if we noticed they recognize there brethen in earth, but we look at some scriptures it will somehow having some problems: Ec 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Ec 9:6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. In that passages I think has different meaning from a parable that I quoted. Hope you can explain those. God bless, Johnny |
