Bible Question:
My father passed in 1994 of december and I do know that he was not saved and lived a very difficult life, dealing with drugs and all other habits that was not good, but in that year the Lord begin to deal with me all though my father passed, his death, I do know was a sign for my life. I would like to know if he is in hell or heaven? I went with the thoughts of believing he went to hell because of the life he lived but he never recieved the lord, and also at times when the lord leads me into inercessery prayer I prayer for him and I do not understand, even though I know we dont understand everything. This has been in my mind, but I brush it off. If possible any scriptures would help I am very open to the Will of God and would except this truly in Gods Will purpose. God Bless and thank you love brother Tyrone. |
Bible Answer: Your statement " I do not know that he was saved" tells it all. No one knows what may or may not have gone on in your Dads head prior to his death. And no one can answer your question. Hopefully... well, you know what I mean. As to some comforting scripture, anyone can copy and paste till they are blue in the face, but though what they paste may mean much to them, you may not come the same understanding. I would recommend you simply turn to Gods Word for yourself. What you read may not currently pertain to what yoru heart desires, but rest assurred, if you stay in it long enough, you will get the answers you currently seek. God Bless. |
