Subject: Why is death God's enemy? |
Bible Note: Your comment that "it is a very non Christian and scientific idea that death is part of life and that death is "a natural process" is well stated. Death is not natural because it is not what God wanted nor what he purposed. It has caused Him to have to delay his purposes for the earth and obedient humans for thousands of years. He even had to give his only-begotten Son in order to override the devastating consequences of sin. But he apparently made a new provision for some to reign in the Kingdom of the heavens as rulers with Christ Jesus. As Sovereign of the Universe, he can certainly do that and choose who will receive life as he originally intended in Paradise and who he will use to bring it about. Truly, when God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven, no one will be fearing anything, especially his enemy death! |
