From our series "What Happens One Minute After You Die?" This clip answers the question: Can our loved ones in heaven know what we're doing here on earth?
I recently was saved in my church, and am going through a crisis with possible cancer, I have seen Jesus face in a cloud, the sun setting on it was beautiful. I love you Jesus!
I believe that if anyone in Heaven could see what's going on down here, it would make Heaven a sad place! Heaven cannot be corrupted. I don't think anyone knows what's going on down here, except for God and Jesus, Angels. Just my thoughts.🙏✝️🕊️
heaven is only a step away into the light for our loved ones a two way thing ,even if your loved ones are abroad when they die ,it is still into the light ,ie heaven my uncle lived in australia and he is always the first to come through on a reading ,they eventually identify themselves with a message ,after being in a family que , my uncle said his father did not come home from the war and his mother had to tell him he was adopted ,he could if he wanted now to tell me many things that would identify him ,he last showed me a yellow budgie with black spots native to australia ,on my bedroom curtains in the uk
I love Jesus too. My husband died and I’m devastated. I’m having a very hard time accepting it. It’s been almost a year and I’m still very crippled w grief. I don’t want my husband to be dead. It’s not fair. He deserved a much longer life. Our daughter is very upset too.
My wife Chris unexpectedly passed away almost 37 months ago. I miss her more every day and ask Jesus to tell her that I love her and miss her so much. I know in my heart that Jesus loves us and the love Chris and I shared for each other was from him. Why wouldn't he tell her that I love her !
She already knows,I too lost my soulmate,,, 7 years ago,would have been 45, years together, and I believe we will be together in Heaven,she does wait for you,but wants you to live your life first.God Bless,I know your pain,it never goes away,it might lessen but you never feel alone,they are with us.😇🤗😇
When I was in a comma for 21 minutes ("they" told me) - first I saw my Grandmother - during the great depression they were too poor to have photos made - so I did not recognize my Grandmother until she told me who she was. The most astounding thing to me was how everything, every experience simply kept getting better and better - it seem almost over whelming in how much better I felt. My Grandmother offered me a grape - I bit into it and the flavor was intense and the next bit was even more flavorful than the first bit. I dropped that grape and picked another and bit into it and it was even more flavorful - I looked at my Grandmother and asked - "does it go on like this forever?" She laughed with joy and nodded YES. Colors I have never seen, the ease of movement and breathing was so clear and clean feeling - an amazing place. I came back reading the Bible like never before - and I read it for literal meaning - and thus it makes more since. Think of this statement from Christ, "I am he who seeks the truth." In paradise - seeking the truth is all you can do - for what is true in one moment is not true the next - for what ever truth was - it improved and got better so that a new true was ready to reveal the next truth of all things and experiences under constant improvement - a true paradise - forever improving - in the joy, grace, peace and love of God - a amazing paradise awaits us - I can not wait to get back there - thou we are not to take a short cut - we must fulfill our duty to God here first - how wonderful it will be - I look forward to returning to the other side some day. What a wonderful place - you all can rest assured your loved ones who have gone - are in a remarkable place - and we can all envy them.
I lost a good friend who was a pastor. He died I went to the viewing and planned to attend his funeral The morning of the funeral I was called in to work. I ask if I could be excused They said either work or I would be replaced Well I went to work and I hated what happen That night I had a vision in a dream and I looked into heaven and Joe my friend spoke to me and said It's okay I am glad you worked you needed your job And he smiled at me It's okay When I woke a peace came over me. How did he know I went to work
I believe you 100%,,I believe in the afterlife, but not in the sense of the Bible. We are reunited with our loved ones,also our beloved pets,how can it be Heaven without them???😇🤗😇🤗
Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10 is an exceptionally clear text concerning death. “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. 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. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.”
Darth Bane , ok if you got knocked out unconscious in a car accident, where would your next concsious though be , in the presence of doctors and nurses in the hospital, after they've revived you right? Its the same with the dead , that are unconscious , they are absent from the body , and their next conscious thought will be in the presence of the Lord , when he raises the righteous dead to life on the last day , that is what Paul meant .
>> Jeanette Taylorwilling< . He is expressing a hope, a wish, a desire. He does not say the one thing follows the other. .Secondly, Jesus is in heaven now after his resurrection and assumption. Yet in John 3:13 he told Nicodemus that no one goes to heaven except HIM. How do you reconcile his statement to Nicodemus with your misquoted version of 2 Cor 5:8? Thirdly, Paul knew and understood that he would not be "with the lord" until the resurrection and judgement. Until then everyone is in the grave waiting for the second coming of Jesus. Since the dead are unaware of the passage of time, it will seem like the blink of an eye from the moment of death to being made alive again at Jesus' return.
@@fromanabe8639The moment that Jesus accomplished his sacrifice on the cross, the believers in him who die will be in paradise with him. We know that because he told the thief on his right who believed in him, truly I tell you, today you will be in paradise with me. In another statetement, Jesus says "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and WHOEVER LIVES AND BELIEVES IN ME WILL NEVER DIE; meaning spiritually which is more important than physically those who are asleep will continue to live in Heaven in the presence of the lord. But yes those who died before the sacrifice of Jesus (or those who do not believe in him)are in their graves, waiting the lord. Moreover those who Believe in Jesus alive or asleep, are not waiting his second coming but rather the rapture which will happen at any moment; when the time of grace is finished “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). To be prepared for the rapture is to be part of the Wise virgins who are praying and focusing on the lord and expecting Him to come (the blessed hope) at any moment.
I always say that All the suffering on earth is worth sacrificing in knowing were I'm going and that's heaven.. AMEN!!!!..I can't wait to see and go to all the places iv never been and do all the things I never got to do..I'm so excited for Jesus Christ to come and get his people in the Rapture even if I die first I know without a doubt were I'm going and will spend All my days worshipping Jesus and be part of his army as I am hear on earth doing and to spred Gods word to ALL to hear until my last words are spoken..God bless all his children and bless all the sick and feeble and poor and may no mouth go unfed!!!!! Amen sister's and brothers..Glory be to God the beginning and no end.... Amen
Humans are corporeal creatures only: no spirit. If God had wanted humans buzzing around heaven he wouldn't have bothered creating the earth and the cosmos. He created the earth because He was going to do something entirely different: create beings that lived purely within a physical human body.
The Bible says we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses...doesn't say who they are...but I believe that they include our dead relatives who made it to heaven before us
It’s sad how many people are truly concerned about what happens when we pass away. Even to the point of being scared of hell. This world we live in has many many problems.. including this one
Some one ask God , how long is a 1000,000,00 years to you'. and God said, about a minute. then the person said how much is 1000,000,00 $ to you, and God said about a penny. so the person said, God can i barrow a 1000,000,00 $'. and God said, Yes'. IN A MINUTE?
The Bible says the dead knows Nothing ,,,,,I believe when you die your soul goes back to God to be judged on jugement day. Some people believe thatthe deads spirit still can be seen a walks the earth. No one really knows for sure what people really see. It could be all in the mind.
The bible says there is no sin in heaven so how can we look on earth of sin I believe in angles and angles helps guide us with the holy ghost but we will not know until we get to heaven God said we will know all things in our new body's
This day you will be with me in paradise. Jesus' promise to the thief on the cross next to him. Enoch was no more. A chariot carried Elija into heaven.
God, the father, laid Enoch to rest somewhere on the earth but, as you say, he didn't have to go through death. Both Enoch and Elijah were carried away hundreds of years before Jesus came on the scene, yet in John 3:13 Jesus stated no one but HIM had ever gone to heaven. Do you think Jesus was correct about that? Wouldn't he know, since he was in heaven before Enoch and Elijah disappeared whether they showed up in heaven? But in John 3:13, he says," no hu(man) has ever gone to heaven."
Sally Burcham. Get into a deep study of what Is the meaning of certain words, and how is it that we need to view and understand it. Enoch disappeared, in the form that no one who knew him and saw him everyday suddenly didn't know where he went, where he was, just like Moses body were never found, that doesn't mean they went to heaven, even Jesus said that no one has ascended the heavens. GOD knew that Enoch could be murdered by his enemies so he made the arrangement to let him sleep in his death and burry his body where no one find him. Elias had a vision and saw the heavens. When Jesus resurrected he did in a different body, in the resurrection the bodies of dead ones are gone for ever, we will have a new body, the same look but a perfect body, without defects. People who are missing arms or legs will be resurrected with both limbs. A good study on the bible can clear your understanding. That is how I clear all my doubts, and in the JW app there's a very good teaching tool. Try it.
When we die, our earthly bodies go to the grave (or are destroyed from whatever killed them like a grenade for example.) our spirits go to heaven and receive a new heavenly body. There is no such thing as "soul sleep". The verses that you say support that idea refer to our earthly bodies.
The bible doesn't say Elijah went to heaven. It says he disappeared in a fiery cloud. How could he go to heaven when Jesus, in John 3:13 told Nicodemus no one but HIM had ever gone to heaven ?? Jesus lived hundreds of years after Elijah disappeared but he said no one but HIM has ever gone to heaven. You can't believe Jesus is speaking the truth and also believe Elijah went to heaven. Or perhaps, you do believe completely contradictory thoughts, ideas, and statements simultaneously.
This is very interesting. I was praying to my grandma few years ago, She literally called me from the dead good thing. I wasn't there but her name show up on my caller id. I was feel her around in my room and my room smells like smoke she smoke and she got lung cancer. couple days ago, I was sleeping I felt somebody in the bed with me My body got super warm very fast and I felt numb for minute. I was very skeptical about ghosts or after life after my grandma passed away I kinda believe they exist.
There is one mediator between God and man and that is Christ. dont allow the demons to trick you into the wrong areas of life. The dead know nothing. Pray to Jesus only
No they do not, it's not supported in scripture, besides that would ruin Heaven for a lot to see you sinning every day. No they leave that to God whom they trust.
Laura Jurek. Read Ecclesiastes 9:5-6. There will be a RESURRECTION of the DEAD, John 6:39-40.... No one is yet resurrected, our loved ones are gone but God will bring them back when JESUS throws satan in the abyss.
"The living know that they will die; but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; nevermore will they have a share in anything done under the sun. … There is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going” (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10). “The dead do not praise the Lord” (Psalm 115:17) . The dead cannot contact the living, nor do they know what the living are doing. They are dead. Their thoughts have perished (Psalm 146:4 KJV). "Man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, they will not awake nor be roused from their sleep. … His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; they are brought low, and he does not perceive it” (Job 14:12, 21). “Nevermore will they have a share in anything done under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 9:6).
They do. They are always near.I do not believe in religion,I believe in Faith,and that when we die,our loved ones are waiting, and our beloved pets,how can it be Heaven without them.???😇🤗😇
John Chapter 5:25)--''Very truly . I tell you, the hour is coming , and is now here , when the dead will hear the voice of the son of God, and those who hear will live .. So people who had dead are not aware of what is going on with the living ? because they are dead and can not hear or see'' there are waiting to see when Jesus Christ calls them''
sammy rivera He calls us back to him when we depart from the physical body and we are aware and we do hear him he is our father and nothing can snatch us from his hand
sammy rivera the dead are in the grave and with the souls of a Trump the dead . Corps will be transferred to meet the sleeping in Christ spirit bodies . The spirit of ppl come with Jesus when the Rapture happens because they get a body first .
I struggle every day with sin at times i feel so filthy i dont want go near jesus as far prayers go but i know jesus is the lord and saviour of mankind so pls pray for me.
Foesse Auau, God created us and knows we have a sinful nature. This became evident in the Garden of Eden. This is why his only begotten and perfect Son, Jesus Christ, paid the ultimate penalty of dying on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. If you believe with all your heart and mind that Jesus is the Son of God and that he died for mankind's salvation, the next step you need to take is to read God's word, the Holy Bible. The Lord teaches us in his word everything we need to know in order to live a fruitful Christian life here on earth. You will read that one must (1) believe, (2) repent (turn away from sinful ways), and be baptized (water immersion) for the remission (forgiveness) of your sins. At that point, you are a child of God. This does not mean that you will automatically become perfect and remain so for the rest of your life. It DOES mean that if and when you do sin, you have the avenue of prayer to ask God for his forgiveness. As Christians, it is always our intention to refrain from all forms of sin. Before you are a child of God, the Lord will not hear your prayers. Prayer is one of the MANY gifts that God provided to his children - to ask forgiveness, profess our thanksgiving to him, and even simply to talk with him (hopefully on a daily basis). As Christians, we strive to be perfect in the Lord's eyes, so one of the things most, if not all, Christians pray to the Lord for is strength in that regard. If you are a Christian and ask the Lord for the strength you need, he will provide. This world is temporary, but eternity is everlasting. I pray that you will find a church in your area that teaches straight from the Holy Bible, God's word, and begin your Christian journey by being baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sins, and thereafter take up your cross and follow him, according to his biblical guidance and word. Jesus has promised to come back to this earth one day and take his children home to Heaven. We all need to be ready. In Christian Love . . .
From what I get out of the Bible concerning this is, Jesus said to the unbelieving people let the Dead bury there Dead because they are held in reserve to be judged because they don’t have eternal life, Jesus said those who believe in me shall never die that’s why he said to the thief on the cross today you shall be with me in paradise so to be absent from the body is to be with the Lord , yes the dead know nothing But those who put there trust in the savior Jesus Christ shall never die and that’s what Jesus taught
Admittedly I haven't watched this whole video, but I would just make these few comments......Firstly , no one has gone to heaven...John 3:13.....and Ecc 12:7...the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.......( with a complete record of our lives ).And this:....Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind........So, the ones who do make it into the Kingdom......won't remember about this time now, nor anything of their loved ones who don't make it......Which in itself is a merciful act.
My brother passed away last year on his sons birthday.. do you think that even though he is in heaven he is still looking down or getting updates on his son and family?
Now I'm a God fearing man and have JESUS in my heart n soul but do you honestly think that when we all go to heaven that the only thing people will be doing is rejoicing ? Yes I'd say at first but one can only do so much Rejoicing before it starts to get old ...CMON MAN.
Yes I believe what this pastor says. We can be informed of goes down here but I don't believe we see everything that goes on down here. It would be too depressing to even look down on this sinful chaotic world.
When you die your spirit goes immediately to Heaven or hell based on who you lived for, but there will still be a resurrection of the dead bodies to go be with the spirits for both the saints and loss.
Humans have no spirit, no soul. They are purely corporeal creatures. If someone is already in heaven as a spirit what would be the point of resurrecting their bodies? Humans can't live in heaven where only spirits exist: God, the father, Jesus, the son, and the angels. The redeemed will live on the new earth (Paradise) following the judgement. The notion of a soul comes from a misreading of Gen 2:7. Read it in the NIV.
How about John 3:13 where Jesus states no one but HIM has ever gone to heaven. Yes, Jesus told the thief he will be with him in paradise. What did he really mean by that? Jesus was talking about the earth after it is made new again following the resurrection and judgement. Paradise 1 was the original earth before Adam and Eve sinned. Paradise 2 , of which Jesus spoke, will be the earth after it is made new again. Jesus couldn't possibly have meant the thief would be with him THAT DAY IN PARADISE. Why not? Jesus was in the tomb for THREE DAYS after he died. When he was resurrected and in the tomb where Mary found him, was the thief with him? Secondly, paradise currently does not exist. It will exist, again, after the earth is made new again as it was in the original creation. There was no hunger, no pain, no aging, no death:==paradise.
Jameela BellingPort. Sorry to tell you you're wrong. We don't have a spirit, we are all living souls, GOD created humans and animals to live on earth. We are a different form of creatures different from celestial ones. Read the Bible, understand it, listen to it. Learn from it.
If human "spirits" go to either heaven or hell upon death, that implies a judgement occurs at the moment of death for every individual. But the bible speaks of only one judgement which occurs after the resurrection. Secondly, humans have no soul or spirit. They exist entirely within a body. Gen 2:7: (KJV) "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." The KJV uses the word "soul" but all the other translations of that verse use "a living being" or "living creature". Notice it doesn't say that God then imputed, or attached, or inserted a "soul" to the human body he just created.
The scriptures say that the dead are asleep. The spirit returns to God, who breathed it. The body is dead. The soul sleeps until the resurrection, -unto life, or destruction.
I remember when I asked the father where I'd go when I die. Well that night I remember going to bed and having a dream that I appeared in front of what looked like a grave yard. There was a line of people in front. After I met this kid and I was shown this door. Through the door it led me to Earth. I was able to see everyone but they couldn't see me.
@cornerstone111 1And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
I think those in Heaven pray for us if they need to,but yes they have better things to do in Heaven being in his glory and final purposes. They made it in by Jesus grace and faith, so now it's are responsibility to do ours by obdience to his word. Finally I hope to be among the professional Trumpet players, which I play now, but trying new materials for them.
People DO die. However, the body dies but the soul goes to its given destination. Unfortunately, souls are directed there, but the body has nothing now.
I can tell you what you need to know. Its a choice you get but take it now and dont question him because he always answers in his way. You dont have to like what he says you have to do what he says and wants.
Exactly taylor why this is hard for soul sleepers to accept tells me they are not true Christains and are not saved. They just want everyone dead they are what drives a divide in the church and they will fight tooth and nail and hate you for disagreeing with them.
No it does not say that. You are misquoting 2 Cor 5:8. Here is the entire verse: "We are confident, I say, and >willing< rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." Paul says he is "willing". He is expressing a hope, a wish, a desire. He does not say one thing follows the other.
Talylor Armour Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[a]” 43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Yes believers since the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross go to Heaven to be with the Lord.
This is kind of a silly question don´t you think. Thousands of people have communicated after death to say they returned to this side to find out that nobody can see them, this is also true in out of body experiences
Yes i think so only when they are happy and having a wonderful time God don't want you to see them on a bad day i have been to heaven a few times every one is so happy
Henry Hopkinson You come to Jesus by hearing the good news and accepting its truth and reality By believing He is the son of the loving God and died as recompense for your sins. That’s how you come to Jesus Not by studying His word Scripture says John 5:39 You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, And Matthew 5:20. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. I’m not sure of what you fully meant by your comment but if it were to be taken fully and completely of just what you said then you are 100% wrong and I pray you understand the scripture I provided. If you seek Him you will find Him when you seek Him with all your heart mind soul and strength
Awww, name-calling. How juvenile. Just like any other of your 6th grade friends could do. Must make you feel mighty important!!! And you are just full of God's love. That really shows.
Why would one desire earthly matters after being in the presence of the Lord? That seems fleshly, associated with the corruptible. The Holy Bible says from corrupt to incorruptible.
What happens after you die is called purification. To begin with, when your heart stops beating, your body's cells and tissues stop receiving oxygen. Brain cells are the first to die -- usually within three to seven minutes [source: Macnair]. (Bone and skin cells, though, will survive for several days.) Blood begins draining from the capillaries, pooling in lower-lying portions of the body, creating a pale appearance in some places and a darker appearance in others. About three hours after death, rigor mortis -- a stiffening of muscles -- sets in. Around 12 hours after death, the body will feel cool, and within 24 hours (depending on body fat and external temperatures), it will lose all internal heat in a process called algor mortis. The muscle tissue begins to lose its stiffness after about 36 hours, and within about 72 hours of dying, the body's rigor mortis will subside. As the cells die, bacteria within the body begin breaking them down. Enzymes in the pancreas cause the organ to digest itself. The body soon takes on a gruesome appearance and smell. Decomposing tissue emits a green substance, as well as gasses such as methane and hydrogen sulfide. The lungs expel fluid through the mouth and nose. Insects and animals certainly take notice of all this. A human body provides sustenance and a great place for insects to lay eggs. A fly trying to find its way in this crazy, mixed-up world can eat well on a corpse, and then lay up to 300 eggs upon it that will hatch within a day. Maggots -- the larvae that emerge from these eggs -- are extremely efficient and thorough flesh-eaters. Starting on the outside of the body where they hatched, maggots use mouth hooks to scoop up the fluids oozing out of the corpse. Within a day's time, the maggots will have entered the second stage of their larval lives, as well as burrowing into the corpse. Moving around as a social mass, maggots feed on decaying flesh and spread enzymes that help turn the body into delectable goo. The breathing mechanism of a maggot is located on the opposite end of its mouth, enabling it to simultaneously eat and breathe without interruption around the clock. While a first-stage larva is about 2 millimeters long, by the time it exits the third stage and leaves the body as a prepupa, it may be as large as 20 millimeters -- 10 times its initial length. Maggots can consume up to 60 percent of a human body in under seven days [source: Australian Museum]. The environment in which a dead body is placed also affects its rate of decay. For instance, bodies in water decompose twice as fast as those left unburied on land. Decomposition is slowest underground -- especially in clay or other solid substances that prevent air from reaching the body since most bacteria require oxygen to survive. This is what happens after a person dies. It feels the same way you felt 10,000 years ago. It doesn't feel anything. "You" do not exist.
yes our loved ones see what we are doing ,answer our questions and visit they are only a step away into the light ,you are only quoting from books my wife has been with me and visiting for 10 years now and leaving messages .bearing in mind all families are together in spirit we all meet again from young children lost in childbirth grow up in spirit cared for by relations \to pets as well they also are family .
All I know is when my heart stopped on the operating table before being brought back from my afterlife heaven for me was becoming pure energy floating in a sea of love no earthly wants or desires and there were infinite numbers of us that’s what heaven was for me the doctor said I picked the right place to die wish I had died in my car
How can they even see us , if they're not in heaven at all. They are dead and in the grave , God said from the dust you came , to the dust you shall return ,
I half to say to me my wife said she was told when we die that when we die we wont know each other as we know each other on earth like shes my wife my mom is my mom my dad Is my dad my grand maw is my grand maw will we know each other as we know each other here on earth plz someone asner my ? Think you if u can
+Eric Smith yes it does it is next to the verse that says "Thou shall not question the Lord thy God or He will burn you for all of Eternity..........!" 🤓
There are no sorrow in heaven, so if our loved ones was able to watch us here on earth, they might get unhappy now and then, because we can't be happy all the time, and for that reason I think not, we are separated until we meet again, and then we shall know everybody, and miss no one....
I believe when we pass away we leave from our old body and or spirit comes out there some people that passed away don't know there passed away or don't want to go on stay on earth or earthbound or don't want to talk to god the father and lord Jesus
The souls under the altar are martyred souls, not everyday people that simply died. If you are martyred, you go to heaven. If you die, you wait for the resurrection. The sinner beside Jesus on the cross surely did go to paradise with Jesus...there was a "small" ressurection of men at the same time that Jesus was ressurected. That is written also. Thing is, God was present in those days. God has left us for 2,000 years, but He said He would return after 2,000 years to revive and then restore His people. The Anglo-Saxons. Gen 21:12 Romans 9:7 Hebrews 11:18
Mankind is a 3 fold being ( Fleshly Body, Spirit, and Soul ) I believe when a saved person dies, their Soul goes to the Paradise of God. They are asleep in Christ until the resurrection where they will receive a new and glorified body like His ( Jesus') I don't think the dead are aware of us back here on earth. I don't think they will know us until we meet them after we die, if we are saved. I think "Time" is the one thing that is different there. It will seem like a few moments to them even if it's years since we have seen them. Forever young and they will know us. We will be known as we were known. We will know everyone in Heaven.
There are two occurrences or “epochs” of Paradise. Both occur on the earth. The first occurrence, “Paradise 1” was the earth immediately following creation. There was no hunger, no sickness, no aging, and no death. Adam and Eve and their progeny would have lived forever had they not sinned. But that “Paradise” was lost by their sin. “Paradise 2” also occurs on the earth after the resurrection and judgement when God remakes the earth to be similar to what it was in the creation. Once again, there will be no hunger, no sickness, no aging, and no death. The redeemed will live forever sinless on the new earth in Jesus’ kingdom. It is “Paradise 2” of which Jesus spoke to the thief on the cross. So the "Paradise" of which Jesus spoke does not exist at present. Therefore, no one, souls, or in any other form, is currently in "Paradise".
They are nowhere since humans have no soul. Humans are purely corporeal creatures that exist entirely within a human body. The confusion comes about from a misreading of Gen 2:7 (KJV) "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Other translations have "a living being" or "a liiving creature". instead of "soul". Notice it doesn't say that God imputed, or inserted, or attached a soul to the living body he just created. If we had souls that lived on after death, then what would be the point of the resurrection? If we lived on then our "self" our intellect, our thoughts would still exist.
The Bible tells us that when we die we go to our graves until resurrection morning. Then the dead in Him rise first then the living join Him (them) in the clouds.
glad some one have good teology, Elanie! the dead go to sheol.. the resuretcion of christ is our hope! Jesus said lasarus, was sleeping and people are still laughing att it today. Johnny there is no comma i greek. king james: luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. but istead its supose to stand something like this: And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee to day,; thoue shalt be with me in paradise. that day jesus died he went to the grave, . you can read about the resurection all over the bible, going to heaven when you die is not! this is a pagan doctrine of a pagan god! the pagan thought they went to dwell with their gods when they die, like greek hades or norse valhalla.
Elaine Gabriel They ARE in Heaven, but they are Resting In Peace. At this time they are Spirits only... they won’t resurrect into their new bodies until the day of the Last Judgement.
Wait a tick , what about Lazarus whom was carried away to Abraham,s bossom ...read the holy Bible Lazarus was really alive in this place ....and what about Jesus saying to the man on a cross beside of Jesus ..... today you will be with me in paradise
From dust you come and to dust you shall return. Heaven can be translated from hebrew as dust in a context. Although it can mean other things you will go to heaven (and maybe hell) so who the Father wants are saved above going to dust but all can be saved and go to heaven.
How about this one. Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10 "For the living know that they shall die: BUT THE DEAD KNOW NOT ANY THING . . . Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now PERISHED/(ceased to exist" Merriam Webster Definition) neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun . . . For there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave whither thou goest". I LOVE IT! THE BIBLE REVEALS ALL TRUTH!
They are not in heaven. Scripture tells us that the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who remain are changed and meet Him in the air to go to the Father's house. In short...the dead are sleeping, or waiting till the day of the Lord. We all get there at the same time.
Stick with the bible. Everytime I've strayed from the Bible and conceded to this fallen world I have suffered. We are living in a time where we Christians will be called evil. While evil doers believe sincerely and strongly they are doing good. The Bible has prophesized this. Do not compromise, stick to the word, for we are told those who are saved endure until the end.
And they are eager to see and to know I experienced even they participate to pray.. and invite others souls to join us if we are praying for the good nessofthe world....
Good Morning Everyone. When We Dead We no Are In The Grave Sleeping. We Return To The Earth. We Are Sleeping Until The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ. 😀😁
I recently was saved in my church, and am going through a crisis with possible cancer, I have seen Jesus face in a cloud, the sun setting on it was beautiful. I love you Jesus!
I believe that if anyone in Heaven could see what's going on down here, it would make Heaven a sad place! Heaven cannot be corrupted. I don't think anyone knows what's going on down here, except for God and Jesus, Angels. Just my thoughts.🙏✝️🕊️
I agree
True
Dawn Piche Why down here when there is no up or down in space. There is only God in absolute truth!
Perhaps those in Heaven can look down and take great joy in seeing and inspiring our growth...
heaven is only a step away into the light for our loved ones a two way thing ,even if your loved ones are abroad when they die ,it is still into the light ,ie heaven my uncle lived in australia and he is always the first to come through on a reading ,they eventually identify themselves with a message ,after being in a family que , my uncle said his father did not come home from the war and his mother had to tell him he was adopted ,he could if he wanted now to tell me many things that would identify him ,he last showed me a yellow budgie with black spots native to australia ,on my bedroom curtains in the uk
I love Jesus too. My husband died and I’m devastated. I’m having a very hard time accepting it. It’s been almost a year and I’m still very crippled w grief. I don’t want my husband to be dead. It’s not fair. He deserved a much longer life. Our daughter is very upset too.
Jesus is the only reason I can look forward to the future
My wife Chris unexpectedly passed away almost 37 months ago. I miss her more every day and ask Jesus to tell her that I love her and miss her so much.
I know in my heart that Jesus loves us and the love Chris and I shared for each other was from him. Why wouldn't he tell her that I love her !
I feel your pain, i ask why thos happen. Just wish i had an answer.
She already knows,I too lost my soulmate,,, 7 years ago,would have been 45, years together, and I believe we will be together in Heaven,she does wait for you,but wants you to live your life first.God Bless,I know your pain,it never goes away,it might lessen but you never feel alone,they are with us.😇🤗😇
When I was in a comma for 21 minutes ("they" told me) - first I saw my Grandmother - during the great depression they were too poor to have photos made - so I did not recognize my Grandmother until she told me who she was. The most astounding thing to me was how everything, every experience simply kept getting better and better - it seem almost over whelming in how much better I felt. My Grandmother offered me a grape - I bit into it and the flavor was intense and the next bit was even more flavorful than the first bit. I dropped that grape and picked another and bit into it and it was even more flavorful - I looked at my Grandmother and asked - "does it go on like this forever?" She laughed with joy and nodded YES. Colors I have never seen, the ease of movement and breathing was so clear and clean feeling - an amazing place. I came back reading the Bible like never before - and I read it for literal meaning - and thus it makes more since. Think of this statement from Christ, "I am he who seeks the truth." In paradise - seeking the truth is all you can do - for what is true in one moment is not true the next - for what ever truth was - it improved and got better so that a new true was ready to reveal the next truth of all things and experiences under constant improvement - a true paradise - forever improving - in the joy, grace, peace and love of God - a amazing paradise awaits us - I can not wait to get back there - thou we are not to take a short cut - we must fulfill our duty to God here first - how wonderful it will be - I look forward to returning to the other side some day. What a wonderful place - you all can rest assured your loved ones who have gone - are in a remarkable place - and we can all envy them.
I lost a good friend who was a pastor. He died
I went to the viewing and planned to attend his funeral
The morning of the funeral I was called in to work. I ask if I could be excused
They said either work or I would be replaced
Well I went to work and I hated what happen
That night I had a vision in a dream and I looked into heaven and Joe my friend spoke to me and said
It's okay I am glad you worked you needed your job
And he smiled at me
It's okay
When I woke a peace came over me. How did he know I went to work
I believe you 100%,,I believe in the afterlife, but not in the sense of the Bible. We are reunited with our loved ones,also our beloved pets,how can it be Heaven without them???😇🤗😇🤗
Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10 is an exceptionally clear text concerning death. “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. 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. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.”
I love you Jesus Christ my savior with my whole heart.
The Bible says, To be absent from the body, is to be with the Lord.
Yup it's that simple but soul sleepers refuse to accept this which tells me they are not saved.
Darth Bane , ok if you got knocked out unconscious in a car accident, where would your next concsious though be , in the presence of doctors and nurses in the hospital, after they've revived you right? Its the same with the dead , that are unconscious , they are absent from the body , and their next conscious thought will be in the presence of the Lord , when he raises the righteous dead to life on the last day , that is what Paul meant .
>> Jeanette Taylorwilling< . He is expressing a hope, a wish, a desire. He does not say the one thing follows the other. .Secondly, Jesus is in heaven now after his resurrection and assumption. Yet in John 3:13 he told Nicodemus that no one goes to heaven except HIM. How do you reconcile his statement to Nicodemus with your misquoted version of 2 Cor 5:8? Thirdly, Paul knew and understood that he would not be "with the lord" until the resurrection and judgement. Until then everyone is in the grave waiting for the second coming of Jesus. Since the dead are unaware of the passage of time, it will seem like the blink of an eye from the moment of death to being made alive again at Jesus' return.
>> Leroy Cooper
@@fromanabe8639The moment that Jesus accomplished his sacrifice on the cross, the believers in him who die will be in paradise with him. We know that because he told the thief on his right who believed in him, truly I tell you, today you will be in paradise with me. In another statetement, Jesus says "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and WHOEVER LIVES AND BELIEVES IN ME WILL NEVER DIE; meaning spiritually which is more important than physically those who are asleep will continue to live in Heaven in the presence of the lord. But yes those who died before the sacrifice of Jesus (or those who do not believe in him)are in their graves, waiting the lord. Moreover those who Believe in Jesus alive or asleep, are not waiting his second coming but rather the rapture which will happen at any moment; when the time of grace is finished “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). To be prepared for the rapture is to be part of the Wise virgins who are praying and focusing on the lord and expecting Him to come (the blessed hope) at any moment.
I love Jesus😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
that's the best statement here. no assumptions.
Nikki L EE. Jesus would love it if you also love his Father John 17:3
I always say that All the suffering on earth is worth sacrificing in knowing were I'm going and that's heaven.. AMEN!!!!..I can't wait to see and go to all the places iv never been and do all the things I never got to do..I'm so excited for Jesus Christ to come and get his people in the Rapture even if I die first I know without a doubt were I'm going and will spend All my days worshipping Jesus and be part of his army as I am hear on earth doing and to spred Gods word to ALL to hear until my last words are spoken..God bless all his children and bless all the sick and feeble and poor and may no mouth go unfed!!!!! Amen sister's and brothers..Glory be to God the beginning and no end.... Amen
The dead part knows nothing. But the spirit part, the real you, lives on forever.
Humans are corporeal creatures only: no spirit. If God had wanted humans buzzing around heaven he wouldn't have bothered creating the earth and the cosmos. He created the earth because He was going to do something entirely different: create beings that lived purely within a physical human body.
No froman abe the bible clearly says we are both body and sprit.
As long as you follow his lead he will lead you . I ask God To lead me to my new home in A good way in Jesus Name Amen.
Its ok to answer a question, "I don't know" Guarantee you you'll get hundreds of different answers from these Ministers....
Jesus is my guiding light. I believe in the Lord. He,s my only god. And I thank him for every thing. Amen.
Amen
Psalms 83 v18. John 17 v3. Mark 10 v18.
Man this hit me hard always pray for my grandparents
when we die our soul goes back to God to be judged on judgement day the Bible says the dead knows nothing
Yes. They can give you signs that they are watching too.
Eccl 12. 7 "... and the breath ( or spirit) returns to God who gave it.
k0smon true
@Eric Smith .
The Bible says we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses...doesn't say who they are...but I believe that they include our dead relatives who made it to heaven before us
It’s sad how many people are truly concerned about what happens when we pass away. Even to the point of being scared of hell. This world we live in has many many problems.. including this one
John Ankerberg is one of the few that was on TBN that really was worth watching.
Some one ask God , how long is a 1000,000,00 years to you'. and God said, about a minute. then the person said how much is 1000,000,00 $ to you, and God said about a penny. so the person said, God can i barrow a 1000,000,00 $'. and God said, Yes'. IN A MINUTE?
trafficjon400 Rubbish! Time is a psychological construct
trafficjon400 and I’m still waiting
trafficjon400 I would just ask to borrow a PENNY
i think i got it wrong '. penny is thought. in a million years is 1 second to God. penny is not spirit.@@forpetessake3532
Nice
The Bible says the dead knows Nothing ,,,,,I believe when you die your soul goes back to God to be judged on jugement day. Some people believe thatthe deads spirit still can be seen a walks the earth. No one really knows for sure what people really see. It could be all in the mind.
The bible says there is no sin in heaven so how can we look on earth of sin I believe in angles and angles helps guide us with the holy ghost but we will not know until we get to heaven God said we will know all things in our new body's
I have been watching so many Bible content because my cousin passed away recently.
I want to see my family I’m scared that I won’t 😭😭😭😭😫😫😫😫😰😰😰😰🤭😪😧
This day you will be with me in paradise. Jesus' promise to the thief on the cross next to him. Enoch was no more. A chariot carried Elija into heaven.
very nice.
Sally Burcham I wonder what the Lord did with Enoch. Amazing! God can do anything! He didn't see death.
God, the father, laid Enoch to rest somewhere on the earth but, as you say, he didn't have to go through death. Both Enoch and Elijah were carried away hundreds of years before Jesus came on the scene, yet in John 3:13 Jesus stated no one but HIM had ever gone to heaven. Do you think Jesus was correct about that? Wouldn't he know, since he was in heaven before Enoch and Elijah disappeared whether they showed up in heaven? But in John 3:13, he says," no hu(man) has ever gone to heaven."
Sally Burcham. Get into a deep study of what Is the meaning of certain words, and how is it that we need to view and understand it. Enoch disappeared, in the form that no one who knew him and saw him everyday suddenly didn't know where he went, where he was, just like Moses body were never found, that doesn't mean they went to heaven, even Jesus said that no one has ascended the heavens. GOD knew that Enoch could be murdered by his enemies so he made the arrangement to let him sleep in his death and burry his body where no one find him. Elias had a vision and saw the heavens. When Jesus resurrected he did in a different body, in the resurrection the bodies of dead ones are gone for ever, we will have a new body, the same look but a perfect body, without defects. People who are missing arms or legs will be resurrected with both limbs. A good study on the bible can clear your understanding. That is how I clear all my doubts, and in the JW app there's a very good teaching tool. Try it.
They are in the presence of christ....no emotion...just safe..and watching over us.....
People stop quoting the bible and make your own statement with your own thoughts ok.
When we die, our earthly bodies go to the grave (or are destroyed from whatever killed them like a grenade for example.) our spirits go to heaven and receive a new heavenly body. There is no such thing as "soul sleep". The verses that you say support that idea refer to our earthly bodies.
Really? What about Jesus' statement in John 3:13 that ho humans ever go to heaven?
Not when alive except for one exception or two but those were very unique cases.
Darth Bane yes like Elijah ?
The bible doesn't say Elijah went to heaven. It says he disappeared in a fiery cloud. How could he go to heaven when Jesus, in John 3:13 told Nicodemus no one but HIM had ever gone to heaven ?? Jesus lived hundreds of years after Elijah disappeared but he said no one but HIM has ever gone to heaven. You can't believe Jesus is speaking the truth and also believe Elijah went to heaven. Or perhaps, you do believe completely contradictory thoughts, ideas, and statements simultaneously.
Please read Eziekiel 18 v 4?
old test. saints in grave, new test. Go straight to Jesus..."absent from body, present before Lord"......
When we die can we be with our family and animals .
This is very interesting. I was praying to my grandma few years ago, She literally called me from the dead good thing. I wasn't there but her name show up on my caller id. I was feel her around in my room and my room smells like smoke she smoke and she got lung cancer. couple days ago, I was sleeping I felt somebody in the bed with me My body got super warm very fast and I felt numb for minute. I was very skeptical about ghosts or after life after my grandma passed away I kinda believe they exist.
There is one mediator between God and man and that is Christ. dont allow the demons to trick you into the wrong areas of life. The dead know nothing. Pray to Jesus only
our loved ones that passed over I firmly believe that they see everything that's going on with their loved ones down here
No they do not, it's not supported in scripture, besides that would ruin Heaven for a lot to see you sinning every day. No they leave that to God whom they trust.
What do you mean by that. Darth Bane
Laura Jurek. Read Ecclesiastes 9:5-6. There will be a RESURRECTION of the DEAD, John 6:39-40.... No one is yet resurrected, our loved ones are gone but God will bring them back when JESUS throws satan in the abyss.
"The living know that they will die; but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; nevermore will they have a share in anything done under the sun. … There is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going” (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10).
“The dead do not praise the Lord” (Psalm 115:17)
. The dead cannot contact the living, nor do they know what the living are doing. They are dead. Their thoughts have perished (Psalm 146:4 KJV).
"Man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, they will not awake nor be roused from their sleep. … His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; they are brought low, and he does not perceive it” (Job 14:12, 21).
“Nevermore will they have a share in anything done under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 9:6).
Thankyou so much for this Video it gives me an insite ; praise Jesus and our Virgin .
I understand what you are saying but I believe that your loved ones do look after you.
They do. They are always near.I do not believe in religion,I believe in Faith,and that when we die,our loved ones are waiting, and our beloved pets,how can it be Heaven without them.???😇🤗😇
It's Paradise* not Heaven because Heaven is decided after judgment
John Chapter 5:25)--''Very truly . I tell you, the hour is coming , and is now here , when the dead will hear the voice of the son of God, and those who hear will live .. So people who had dead are not aware of what is going on with the living ? because they are dead and can not hear or see'' there are waiting to see when Jesus Christ calls them''
keep the Sabbath holy ;; Genesis 2:2-3
sammy rivera
He calls us back to him when we depart from the physical body and we are aware and we do hear him he is our father and nothing can snatch us from his hand
sammy rivera that verse refers to living people, because we are all spiritually dead until we get to heaven.
sammy rivera the dead are in the grave and with the souls of a Trump the dead . Corps will be transferred to meet the sleeping in Christ spirit bodies . The spirit of ppl come with Jesus when the Rapture happens because they get a body first .
sammy rivera that's right.
Their loved ones are not in heaven but are asleep in the grave.awaiting the second ressurection Revelation 20:6
John 3:13...No one has ascended to heaven but the one who came from heaven. Yashua.
I struggle every day with sin at times i feel so filthy i dont want go near jesus as far prayers go but i know jesus is the lord and saviour of mankind so pls pray for me.
Foesse Auau We all sin. Sin is a mistake and we all make them. All works out fine in the end my friend so no worries.
Foesse Auau, God created us and knows we have a sinful nature. This became evident in the Garden of Eden. This is why his only begotten and perfect Son, Jesus Christ, paid the ultimate penalty of dying on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. If you believe with all your heart and mind that Jesus is the Son of God and that he died for mankind's salvation, the next step you need to take is to read God's word, the Holy Bible. The Lord teaches us in his word everything we need to know in order to live a fruitful Christian life here on earth. You will read that one must (1) believe, (2) repent (turn away from sinful ways), and be baptized (water immersion) for the remission (forgiveness) of your sins. At that point, you are a child of God. This does not mean that you will automatically become perfect and remain so for the rest of your life. It DOES mean that if and when you do sin, you have the avenue of prayer to ask God for his forgiveness. As Christians, it is always our intention to refrain from all forms of sin. Before you are a child of God, the Lord will not hear your prayers. Prayer is one of the MANY gifts that God provided to his children - to ask forgiveness, profess our thanksgiving to him, and even simply to talk with him (hopefully on a daily basis). As Christians, we strive to be perfect in the Lord's eyes, so one of the things most, if not all, Christians pray to the Lord for is strength in that regard. If you are a Christian and ask the Lord for the strength you need, he will provide. This world is temporary, but eternity is everlasting. I pray that you will find a church in your area that teaches straight from the Holy Bible, God's word, and begin your Christian journey by being baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sins, and thereafter take up your cross and follow him, according to his biblical guidance and word. Jesus has promised to come back to this earth one day and take his children home to Heaven. We all need to be ready. In Christian Love . . .
From what I get out of the Bible concerning this is, Jesus said to the unbelieving people let the Dead bury there Dead because they are held in reserve to be judged because they don’t have eternal life, Jesus said those who believe in me shall never die that’s why he said to the thief on the cross today you shall be with me in paradise so to be absent from the body is to be with the Lord , yes the dead know nothing But those who put there trust in the savior Jesus Christ shall never die and that’s what Jesus taught
Admittedly I haven't watched this whole video, but I would just make these
few comments......Firstly , no one has gone to heaven...John 3:13.....and
Ecc 12:7...the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.......( with a complete
record of our lives ).And this:....Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I
create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor
come into mind........So, the ones who do make it into the Kingdom......won't
remember about this time now, nor anything of their loved ones who don't make
it......Which in itself is a merciful act.
No one who is dead can see, hear, think or feel.
It says the dead know nothing and are sleeping until judgement day. Then we will arise.
My brother passed away last year on his sons birthday.. do you think that even though he is in heaven he is still looking down or getting updates on his son and family?
I thought none of us are in the presence of jesus until he returns and all the dead in christ shall rise, please tell me what im missing here
Now I'm a God fearing man and have JESUS in my heart n soul but do you honestly think that when we all go to heaven that the only thing people will be doing is rejoicing ? Yes I'd say at first but one can only do so much Rejoicing before it starts to get old ...CMON MAN.
Yes I believe what this pastor says. We can be informed of goes down here but I don't believe we see everything that goes on down here. It would be too depressing to even look down on this sinful chaotic world.
When you die your spirit goes immediately to Heaven or hell based on who you lived for, but there will still be a resurrection of the dead bodies to go be with the spirits for both the saints and loss.
Humans have no spirit, no soul. They are purely corporeal creatures. If someone is already in heaven as a spirit what would be the point of resurrecting their bodies? Humans can't live in heaven where only spirits exist: God, the father, Jesus, the son, and the angels. The redeemed will live on the new earth (Paradise) following the judgement. The notion of a soul comes from a misreading of Gen 2:7. Read it in the NIV.
Froman Abe then why does Jesus tell the thief he will be with him in paradise you need to read the Bible more.
How about John 3:13 where Jesus states no one but HIM has ever gone to heaven.
Yes, Jesus told the thief he will be with him in paradise. What did he really mean by that? Jesus was talking about the earth after it is made new again following the resurrection and judgement. Paradise 1 was the original earth before Adam and Eve sinned. Paradise 2 , of which Jesus spoke, will be the earth after it is made new again. Jesus couldn't possibly have meant the thief would be with him THAT DAY IN PARADISE. Why not? Jesus was in the tomb for THREE DAYS after he died. When he was resurrected and in the tomb where Mary found him, was the thief with him? Secondly, paradise currently does not exist. It will exist, again, after the earth is made new again as it was in the original creation. There was no hunger, no pain, no aging, no death:==paradise.
Jameela BellingPort. Sorry to tell you you're wrong. We don't have a spirit, we are all living souls, GOD created humans and animals to live on earth. We are a different form of creatures different from celestial ones. Read the Bible, understand it, listen to it. Learn from it.
If human "spirits" go to either heaven or hell upon death, that implies a judgement occurs at the moment of death for every individual. But the bible speaks of only one judgement which occurs after the resurrection. Secondly, humans have no soul or spirit. They exist entirely within a body. Gen 2:7: (KJV) "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." The KJV uses the word "soul" but all the other translations of that verse use "a living being" or "living creature". Notice it doesn't say that God then imputed, or attached, or inserted a "soul" to the human body he just created.
The scriptures say that the dead are asleep. The spirit returns to God, who breathed it. The body is dead. The soul sleeps until the resurrection, -unto life, or destruction.
My mom and dad were never married! I need prayer, I was born in sexual sin I was told, but I never heard of Adam and Eve getting married?
I remember when I asked the father where I'd go when I die. Well that night I remember going to bed and having a dream that I appeared in front of what looked like a grave yard. There was a line of people in front. After I met this kid and I was shown this door. Through the door it led me to Earth. I was able to see everyone but they couldn't see me.
@cornerstone111
1And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
I love Jesus and God
I think those in Heaven pray for us if they need to,but yes they have better things to do in Heaven being in his glory and final purposes. They made it in by Jesus grace and faith, so now it's are responsibility to do ours by obdience to his word. Finally I hope to be among the professional Trumpet players, which I play now, but trying new materials for them.
general chang - In heaven you will get to use your gift even more.
People DO die. However, the body dies but the soul goes to its given destination. Unfortunately, souls are directed there, but the body has nothing now.
I can tell you what you need to know. Its a choice you get but take it now and dont question him because he always answers in his way. You dont have to like what he says you have to do what he says and wants.
Eye has not seen nor ear heard of the things that God has for those who love him. So stop guessing.
The Bible says absent of the body is to be present with the Lord the Lord's not in a grave and he's not dead
Exactly taylor why this is hard for soul sleepers to accept tells me they are not true Christains and are not saved. They just want everyone dead they are what drives a divide in the church and they will fight tooth and nail and hate you for disagreeing with them.
Well Darth, because it's not Biblical. Maybe you should read your Bible.
No it does not say that. You are misquoting 2 Cor 5:8.
Here is the entire verse: "We are confident, I say, and >willing< rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." Paul says he is "willing". He is expressing a hope, a wish, a desire. He does not say one thing follows the other.
Talylor Armour Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[a]”
43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Yes believers since the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross go to Heaven to be with the Lord.
What about the people who had NDE's and went to Heaven? Do you mean they are all lying? That's not a happy thought.
This is kind of a silly question don´t you think. Thousands of people have communicated after death to say they returned to this side to find out that nobody can see them, this is also true in out of body experiences
Yes i think so only when they are happy and having a wonderful time God don't want you to see them on a bad day i have been to heaven a few times every one is so happy
You are within 80 years of a 'rapture'. Whether Jesus comes for you, or you go to him, same results occur.
The results are not the same. You come to Jesus by studying the Bible especially the New Testament.
Good and right perspective on it. Like it
Henry Hopkinson
You come to Jesus by hearing the good news and accepting its truth and reality By believing He is the son of the loving God and died as recompense for your sins. That’s how you come to Jesus
Not by studying His word
Scripture says John 5:39
You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,
And
Matthew 5:20. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
I’m not sure of what you fully meant by your comment but if it were to be taken fully and completely of just what you said then you are 100% wrong and I pray you understand the scripture I provided.
If you seek Him you will find Him when you seek Him with all your heart mind soul and strength
Awww, name-calling. How juvenile. Just like any other of your 6th grade friends could do. Must make you feel mighty important!!! And you are just full of God's love. That really shows.
No but the ones that are waiting to go to heaven or hell or talk to God before coming back to life can . i"ve been there and back. Praise God .
Why would one desire earthly matters after being in the presence of the Lord? That seems fleshly, associated with the corruptible. The Holy Bible says from corrupt to incorruptible.
So glad that a few people know their Bible. The other commentors...not so much. Shows the state of the church....Laodacia
I love jesus too💙😇😇
What happens after you die is called purification. To begin with, when your heart stops beating, your body's cells and tissues stop receiving oxygen. Brain cells are the first to die -- usually within three to seven minutes [source: Macnair]. (Bone and skin cells, though, will survive for several days.) Blood begins draining from the capillaries, pooling in lower-lying portions of the body, creating a pale appearance in some places and a darker appearance in others.
About three hours after death, rigor mortis -- a stiffening of muscles -- sets in. Around 12 hours after death, the body will feel cool, and within 24 hours (depending on body fat and external temperatures), it will lose all internal heat in a process called algor mortis. The muscle tissue begins to lose its stiffness after about 36 hours, and within about 72 hours of dying, the body's rigor mortis will subside.
As the cells die, bacteria within the body begin breaking them down. Enzymes in the pancreas cause the organ to digest itself. The body soon takes on a gruesome appearance and smell. Decomposing tissue emits a green substance, as well as gasses such as methane and hydrogen sulfide. The lungs expel fluid through the mouth and nose.
Insects and animals certainly take notice of all this. A human body provides sustenance and a great place for insects to lay eggs. A fly trying to find its way in this crazy, mixed-up world can eat well on a corpse, and then lay up to 300 eggs upon it that will hatch within a day.
Maggots -- the larvae that emerge from these eggs -- are extremely efficient and thorough flesh-eaters. Starting on the outside of the body where they hatched, maggots use mouth hooks to scoop up the fluids oozing out of the corpse. Within a day's time, the maggots will have entered the second stage of their larval lives, as well as burrowing into the corpse.
Moving around as a social mass, maggots feed on decaying flesh and spread enzymes that help turn the body into delectable goo. The breathing mechanism of a maggot is located on the opposite end of its mouth, enabling it to simultaneously eat and breathe without interruption around the clock. While a first-stage larva is about 2 millimeters long, by the time it exits the third stage and leaves the body as a prepupa, it may be as large as 20 millimeters -- 10 times its initial length. Maggots can consume up to 60 percent of a human body in under seven days [source: Australian Museum].
The environment in which a dead body is placed also affects its rate of decay. For instance, bodies in water decompose twice as fast as those left unburied on land. Decomposition is slowest underground -- especially in clay or other solid substances that prevent air from reaching the body since most bacteria require oxygen to survive.
This is what happens after a person dies. It feels the same way you felt 10,000 years ago. It doesn't feel anything. "You" do not exist.
your SOUL will live eternally!
Obviously you don't believe the Bible. Must be an ironman
yes our loved ones see what we are doing ,answer our questions and visit they are only a step away into the light ,you are only quoting from books my wife has been with me and visiting for 10 years now and leaving messages .bearing in mind all families are together in spirit we all meet again from young children lost in childbirth grow up in spirit cared for by relations \to pets as well they also are family .
All I know is when my heart stopped on the operating table before being brought back from my afterlife heaven for me was becoming pure energy floating in a sea of love no earthly wants or desires and there were infinite numbers of us that’s what heaven was for me the doctor said I picked the right place to die wish I had died in my car
How can they even see us , if they're not in heaven at all. They are dead and in the grave , God said from the dust you came , to the dust you shall return ,
WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO SCREW UP HEAVEN? NO THEY CANT AND GOOD FOR THEM.
Everyone will believe something different we will trulynever know till we die
I half to say to me my wife said she was told when we die that when we die we wont know each other as we know each other on earth like shes my wife my mom is my mom my dad
Is my dad my grand maw is my grand maw will we know each other as we know each other here on earth plz someone asner my ? Think you if u can
I thought the dead knew nothing until Jesus comes
That is what the Bible Says.
Where does it say that Mary? The dead are dead "asleep" until Jesus returns.
After we die, we go to paradise untill judgement day.
+Eric Smith yes it does it is next to the verse that says "Thou shall not question the Lord thy God or He will burn you for all of Eternity..........!" 🤓
TinaLovesJesus , Spiritually, the people in Heaven are not dead. I "know" the Holy Spirit can reveal whatever He wants to whomever He chooses to.
Heaven has no sadness - seeing us would be SAD AND HORRIFIC - question answered- EARTH IS TOO FILTHY TO SEE FROM HEAVEN
There are no sorrow in heaven, so if our loved ones was able to watch us here on earth, they might get unhappy now and then, because we can't be happy all the time, and for that reason I think not, we are separated until we meet again, and then we shall know everybody, and miss no one....
I believe when we pass away we leave from our old body and or spirit comes out there some people that passed away don't know there passed away or don't want to go on stay on earth or earthbound or don't want to talk to god the father and lord Jesus
You cant live without God after your body dies, you are either with God or in Hell.
The souls under the altar are martyred souls, not everyday people that simply died. If you are martyred, you go to heaven. If you die, you wait for the resurrection. The sinner beside Jesus on the cross surely did go to paradise with Jesus...there was a "small" ressurection of men at the same time that Jesus was ressurected. That is written also. Thing is, God was present in those days. God has left us for 2,000 years, but He said He would return after 2,000 years to revive and then restore His people. The Anglo-Saxons. Gen 21:12 Romans 9:7 Hebrews 11:18
Mankind is a 3 fold being ( Fleshly Body, Spirit, and Soul ) I believe when a saved person dies, their Soul goes to the Paradise of God. They are asleep in Christ until the resurrection where they will receive a new and glorified body like His ( Jesus') I don't think the dead are aware of us back here on earth. I don't think they will know us until we meet them after we die, if we are saved. I think "Time" is the one thing that is different there. It will seem like a few moments to them even if it's years since we have seen them. Forever young and they will know us. We will be known as we were known. We will know everyone in Heaven.
And it's going to be a pleasure seeing you their.
Darth Bane you too
There are two occurrences or “epochs” of Paradise. Both occur on the earth. The first occurrence, “Paradise 1” was the earth immediately following creation. There was no hunger, no sickness, no aging, and no death. Adam and Eve and their progeny would have lived forever had they not sinned. But that “Paradise” was lost by their sin.
“Paradise 2” also occurs on the earth after the resurrection and judgement when God remakes the earth to be similar to what it was in the creation. Once again, there will be no hunger, no sickness, no aging, and no death. The redeemed will live forever sinless on the new earth in Jesus’ kingdom. It is “Paradise 2” of which Jesus spoke to the thief on the cross.
So the "Paradise" of which Jesus spoke does not exist at present. Therefore, no one, souls, or in any other form, is currently in "Paradise".
@@fromanabe8639 then where are the souls of the redeemed who have died?
They are nowhere since humans have no soul. Humans are purely corporeal creatures that exist entirely within a human body. The confusion comes about from a misreading of Gen 2:7 (KJV) "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Other translations have "a living being" or "a liiving creature". instead of "soul". Notice it doesn't say that God imputed, or inserted, or attached a soul to the living body he just created. If we had souls that lived on after death, then what would be the point of the resurrection? If we lived on then our "self" our intellect, our thoughts would still exist.
Yeah why not?
Someday we all will know the Whole Truth what happens, When we all Die.
The Bible tells us that our loved ones are not in Heaven and that we cannot communicate with them nor them with us.
The Bible tells us that when we die we go to our graves until resurrection morning. Then the dead in Him rise first then the living join Him (them) in the clouds.
+Elaine Gabriel what did Jesus say to the the thief on the cross? and who are the cloud of witnesses?
glad some one have good teology, Elanie! the dead go to sheol.. the resuretcion of christ is our hope! Jesus said lasarus, was sleeping and people are still laughing att it today. Johnny there is no comma i greek.
king james: luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. but istead its supose to stand something like this: And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee to day,; thoue shalt be with me in paradise. that day jesus died he went to the grave, . you can read about the resurection all over the bible, going to heaven when you die is not! this is a pagan doctrine of a pagan god! the pagan thought they went to dwell with their gods when they die, like greek hades or norse valhalla.
Elaine Gabriel They ARE in Heaven, but they are Resting In Peace. At this time they are Spirits only... they won’t resurrect into their new bodies until the day of the Last Judgement.
Wait a tick , what about Lazarus whom was carried away to Abraham,s bossom ...read the holy Bible Lazarus was really alive in this place ....and what about Jesus saying to the man on a cross beside of Jesus ..... today you will be with me in paradise
From dust you come and to dust you shall return. Heaven can be translated from hebrew as dust in a context. Although it can mean other things you will go to heaven (and maybe hell) so who the Father wants are saved above going to dust but all can be saved and go to heaven.
Kevin Burress Rubbish!
I don't think they can see us suffering or maybe since they know the outcome.
How about this one. Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10 "For the living know that they shall die: BUT THE DEAD KNOW NOT ANY THING . . . Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now PERISHED/(ceased to exist" Merriam Webster Definition) neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun . . . For there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave whither thou goest". I LOVE IT! THE BIBLE REVEALS ALL TRUTH!
Seeing what is going on on earth will only create grief and sadness to them.
You don't need the Lord to avenge someone . Defend yourself from your enemy its that simple.
God is not an Indian giver. Once we have it, it is ours forever.
John 3.15 "....should not perish, but have eternal life".
Oh my goodness, how blind to scripture can you be. nuff said, too rediculous to write about.
They are not in heaven. Scripture tells us that the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who remain are changed and meet Him in the air to go to the Father's house. In short...the dead are sleeping, or waiting till the day of the Lord. We all get there at the same time.
Stick with the bible. Everytime I've strayed from the Bible and conceded to this fallen world I have suffered. We are living in a time where we Christians will be called evil. While evil doers believe sincerely and strongly they are doing good. The Bible has prophesized this. Do not compromise, stick to the word, for we are told those who are saved endure until the end.
And they are eager to see and to know I experienced even they participate to pray.. and invite others souls to join us if we are praying for the good nessofthe world....
Good Morning Everyone. When We Dead We no Are In The Grave Sleeping. We Return To The Earth. We Are Sleeping Until The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ. 😀😁
The dead have nothing more to do with this world
We gotta be careful not to cross the line into witchcraft. The dead is gone but we need to continue following Jesus.
