Bible Question: Will all sinners who die with diseases such as cancer etc. wake up in hell with those same diseases? |
Bible Answer: Actually I think this could be a pretty deep question. It is mentioned in several places that believers will be given a new body for example 1 Cor 15:12-58. However, I can't think of a statement that a non-believer will be resurrected in physical form. This of course leads to at least two options. One that they don't get the resurrection from the dead because they haven't become one with Christ in death(through baptism) and so won't be one with Christ in resurrection to a new life. The other being that they will be resurrected. Now if resurrected in bodily form, do they get a perfect body like we are promised, or just the same old one? Either way like Makarios said, the disease will probably have died with them the first time(remember non-christians get the unenviable oppurtunity to experience the 'second death'). But the effects of the disease, like damaged flesh, loss of an eye etc. may still be present. Unfortunately, I think hell will be so infinitely worse than any disease that it won't make much difference to those that go there wether the are suffering form cancer or the flu or something as well as from the usual goodies that hell has to offer. You know the saying desperate times calls for desperate measures? I think that we need to be desperate to be with God, and desperate to bring as may people as we can with us. See Acts 2:36-41. Note how desperate the hearers were to learn how to be saved? People need someone to show them the way, the question I guess is that person going to be you?(of course you need to find the way yourself if your not sure how) |
