@@colinmatts I am 82 years old so many members of my family are dead, in fact I must be the oldest of my generation. Sadly I have not been at their sides when they died, but they all,passed peacefully and NONE OF THEM WERE RELIGIOUS.
"These things are written that you may KNOW that you have eternal life." i John 5:13 When you know where you are going, passing is peaceful and a promotion. TY for caring for our loved ones. 1 Cor"The natural man does not understand the things of God, nor can he know them for they are SPIRITUALLY discerned."
Our daughter was 25 years old and died at home from a rare disease. She suffered terribly and we prayed that Our Lord would end her agony. Our prayers were answered and as she was passing she glowed; started laughing and told us to let her go. I think she met her grandfather who was a funny fellow. Afterwards, she looked lovely and at peace.
@@marywalsh2292 We were blessed that she lived until 25 since the disease presented itself in infancy and I prayed that she would live to adulthood. She was wise beyond her years; stating that not all are not meant to live to an old age…
My parents lived their Catholic faith as best as they could. Both died in emergency rooms. Dad praised God as he received the last rites. Mom was semiconscious and was intubated; my sisters and I surrounded her bed and prayed the rosary. The priest arrived to administer the last rites while we were praying. She died as these were going on. We live out our faith from birth to death and to eternity.
My oldest brother passed away in March 1995. He was a very humble and religious. I told him one of my favorite Bible passage which deals with death is Lk 2:29-30. He died at the hospital emergency room exactly at the time that we were praying the 4th Rosary’s 4th Joyful Mystery (Presentation at the Temple) which had the beautiful words of Simeon’s canticle, “Now Lord you may dismiss your servant in peace for my eyes have seen your salvation”. The emergency room nurse told my sister that my brother woke up and in a trance uttered the words, “Now I understand, now I know, sir. Yes, sir, I am coming”.
My husband of 57 years went home to HEAVEN on new years eve, I MISS my sweetheart something terrible, but I am happy He is with HIS FATHER, and with no more pain RIP. I LOVE YOU SWEETHEART FOREVERMORE 🙏❤🙏
Better than this is good 👍🏾 Peace that our kids and family don’t get mauled by abuse or self hate will be a overwhelming time opening heaven day. I do love Jesus and I love watching people marvel and live him also. I’m happy just to think of him and try to paint his voice on presents all day. God bless and good night
I believe the moment I die, Jesus and Mary will bring me to my heavenly home where there will be a joyous reunion with my mom and dad and everyone I ever knew.
I believe the first person I will see as I kneel is Jesus my Saviour. I pray He will welcome me with these words, ‘well done good and faithful servant…’ Hallelujah! I will praise Him forever.
@@DollyLane-gi4tx I am so sorry about your mum. My parents died many years ago, I speak to them regularly, I tell them all about the family who now live all over the world. They are always happy and love to hear about everyone. They never mention any gods, I KNOW THEY ARE HAPPY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE TO SUBJECT THEMSELVES TO THE INDIGNITY OF A PRECOCIOUS, VILE, PREENING, GOD. YOU SEE THEY EXIST IN THE BEST PLACE POSSIBLE, IN THE MINDS AND MEMORIES OF THOSE WHO LOVED THEM AND STILL LOVE THEM. My wonderful parents were VASTLY BETTER THAN ANY GODS EVER THOUGHT UP BY THE MINDS OF EVIL PREACHERS OR GOD GOONS. Just remember your loved ones, just talk to them as I do, just let those memories fill you with a wonderful peace, YOU DO NOT NEED ANY GODS TO INTERFERE WITH THOSE EXPERIENCES. Most importantly, NEVER LET YOUR CHILDREN EVER, EVER FALL UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF EVIL GODS. ALL GODS ARE EVIL.
@@Godlvr008 JUST MORE FAIRY TAALES, MAKES NO SENSE AND ADDS NOTHING TO OUR REAL KNOWLEDGE. These are just the writings of ancient ignorant people, they had NO IDEA how the world worked and even less about the Universe around us. The Bible is just a collection of their SUPERSTITION. IT MEANS NOTHING. WAKE UP THE REAL WORLD IS ALL AROUND YOU, SCIENCE NOT SUPERSTITION EXPLAINS THINGS.
@@Godlvr008 SHOULD SAY “ABSENT FROM REASON, THOUGHT, SANITY AND FREEDOM”, become imprisoned in the power of a GOD. A GOD WHO CARES ONLY FOR YOUR TOTAL OBEDIENCE, WHO PRETENDS TO CARE FOR YOU, BUT WILL ABANDON YOU SHOULD EVER DARE TO TRY TO ASSERT YOUR OWN DOMINION OVER YOUR OWN MIND. OPEN YOUR EYES YOU FOOL. THAT IS WHAT A GOD DOES NIT WANT YOUN TO DO. RELIGION WILL DESTROY HUMANITY UNLESS WE STOP IT, WITH INTELLIGENCE, HONESTY AND THE LOVE OF OUR OWN KIND. NOT THE EVIL OF A GOD.
The idea of a life with God after death seems so fantastic and a little hard to believe. But then our whole existence seems fantastic. I wish I had a strong faith, because lack of faith makes for a painful life. Please pray for my children and I.
Stronger faith is built by praying for it, ask for it and act on it. Grab the New Testament Bible, know Jesus more so you can love Him deeper, and then serve Him through love in your life. I pray God's love embrace you fully!!
Trillions of people have died since time began. They can’t all be living with god! It’s very confusing. I’d like to think there’s an afterlife, but I doubt it.
I truly believe in life after death where we will see Jesus. For this to happen, we must have a personal relationship with Jesus and have him at the center of our lives. We must walk with Jesus every moment on earth and be vigilant while awaiting his call. A life of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving sets us on the right path. Grant us, O Lord, your spiritual guidance so that we may remain faithful to your call, and help us avoid all occasions of sin so that we may be pleasing in your sight.
When my dad died at 68 years old of a heart attack, I wasn't there, but saw his body a few hours after his death. He had such a happy, serene expression on his face. His closed eyes were smiling. Even the priest that came after he was pronounced dead commented on how he seemed like such a "jolly fellow." It brought me such comfort in such a trying time.
@kenhoyer8601 Nah, he was cremated so we never had him embalmed. He had no memorial. The biggest thing, however, was that he was like that in the hospital bed immediately after he died. The priest came to the hospital.
Yes, I believe Bishop Barron and TJ on "death" from personal experience when my husband died. I saw Brad's soul rise from dead body within minutes and a bigger cloud came from the living room ceiling, attached to Brad's soul and disappeared into living room ceiling. And then a photo appeared on the wall where the soul and cloud had disappeared. It was so beautiful a photo-like no words could describe it. A firm voice spoke, Stephanie you can't come, you have more work to do. Then total quiet. I sat down and knew God in a new way.
@@lindaguida4074his sins are forgiven but not the consequences of those sins so I’d pray for his soul and have a holy Mass or two offered for him plus the beautiful holy Rosary
Despite what was done to me by humans I always have beautiful dreams of someplace good and different, there I sat with a lonely stranger that turned out to be my mother, I felt good when I awoke, my moms been gone for 12 years and she looked like she was in her 30's. I saw my brother who was covered in cancer when he died, when I saw him he looked great and said to me, I cant talk now I'm going to bible class, I still have my doubts about heaven and life now, but the dreams help to get me through the days. TBT god. I'm 60 now ma and Richard, I'll see you soon...
I enjoyed listen to Bishop Baron's explanation. And I am sure that when we die after doing our best to please Jesus in our daily trials, He himself will come and take us .We will be on the other side worshiping Him as we are meant to..
I can only imagine what life will be like in Gods home for us …..it will be unimaginable ., no more pain sorrow I’m not afraid of dying in Christ I don’t want to leave my whole family behind …..but I know we’ll see our loved ones again and I would really like to see all Gods disciples and the Saints and angels and especially our Blessed Mother 🙏🩵✝️
I’m 77 years and I have learned that you can never stop learning especially in religious matters. The Church, the Scriptures are rich in wisdom and knowledge.
@@colinmatts I am guessing that he has had an encounter with Jesus and so knows Him! He, like so many others have experienced Jesus directly. Do you want this?
My goal is to go to Puerto Rico and go to heaven and see my family there. My kids and also my wife and also my dad. My dad's not my dad's not a Catholic but he lived a good luck. He treated everyone with respect. There was a homeless man to ask my dad for money. He had no food. My dad went to the store and bought him some food and you also by him. 3, the 4 nights motel, so he would have a place to sleep. I never forgotten that. What my dad did for the homeless and I know they're in the judgment.That's what i'm sayin I'm sure when my dad is judged for that homeless man.God's gonna be proud of my dad.What he did for the homeless
Your father seems to have been a modest and exemplary Christian. A name (Catholic) is a label. It's the content is that matters. He was a good role model for you and others. See Matthew 22: 36-40. God bless you, brother.
13:00 I always found it telling that the very thing that the serpent tempts our first parents with is “to be like God”, when in fact God Himself wants to elevate us to be like Him, if only we humble ourselves first, just like Christ did (Philippians 2:9)
When the body dies, the soul does not stay there like a prisoner, it leaves the body and goes to the realm of souls, awaiting the resurrection of all bodies.
The repentant thief on his own cross was told by Jesus, “Today you will be with me in Paradise.” No mention of Purgatory. Do Catholics still believe in Purgatory: a place where they endure pain of fire burning away their sins until they are purified enough to enter Heaven and be with God? I hope that old Lie has been erased from Catholic beliefs, bc it’s another one of Satan’s lies. Satan hates people and wants to destroy their belief in God’s Truth. Though Satan is battling God, so that old liar has no chance of winning, bc God is sovereign
@@skparlingyou are thinking of purgatory with human understanding. As a “place” to agnonize in. Yes, Catholics believe in purgatory. The Bible says we will be purified before meeting God.
@@skparlingThe Bible also says ‘be perfect as I am perfect’. Evil perhaps does not want you to believe in Him or Hell, and perhaps even purgatory. Why? If we believed in purgatory we would pray for our loved ones daily to be release into God’s presence. We would intercede on their behalf. Like Moses interceded on behalf of the people and God listened. God always listens.
most of my life I’ve thought our soul leaves our body when we die and goes to God but Bishop Barron has helped me see no body and soul are transfigured as we always confess in the Creed “The resurrection of the body and life everlasting “
@@marynayna6327 NO, THIS BISHOP HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL HE IS TALKING ABOUT. Everything he says is a FAIRY TALE, CONSTRUCTED TO MAKE FOOLS LIKE YOU BELIEVE HE KNOWS THINGS. He KNOWS NOTHING, everything requires FAITH, which means just do as I tell you and be a good little ROBOT. Science makes sense, science works, science makes predictions that CAN BE SEEN TO WO4K. SCIENCE does not need FAITH, SCIENCE USES TRUTH, which is the poison pill of FAITH. YOU HAVE BEEN CONNED, LIED TO AND HAD YOUR ABILITY TO THINK, REMOVED.
@@colinmatts YOU DONT, it is just another TRICK in the bag of TRICKS that the Con Artists use to keep the BRAINWASHED, GULLIBLE, FOOLS under control, Why do you think the congregation in a church is known as a FLOCK, of SHEEP. It is all a CON GAME that has been successfully transformed in what is considered a legitimate business. A Soul is SOMETHING, you cannot see, hear, touch or speak to yet these CON ARTISTS have convinced millions of fools that your SOUL IS SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU MUST NURTURE AND PROTECT IT. TO LOSE ONES SOUL IS THE GREATEST CATASTROPHE ONE CAN IMAGINE. You have got to give it to those CROOKS there power over the sheep in the church is FRIGHTENING.
Look at the Shroud of Turin picture; you can see the Light around His Holy Face, it was at that moment that His Ressurection appeared. OUr Lord wanted us to see that; He is Wonderful in His Love for us! Yes, we WILL see the Resurrected Jesus'
@donnarock7842: The shroud has been proved fake by at least three scientific institutions. Even if it was real it could be anybody's image.....crucifixion was common 2000 years ago in Roman occupied regions.
I am going to have to write to Bishop Barron. I'm not sure I understood what he was talking about when discussing Sheol. As I understood it, Sheol was where the souls of the righteous went prior to the coming of Christ. We say that Christ descended into hell when he died on the Cross. No. He did not go to the hell of eternal damnation. He went into Sheol to let all those know that the Gates of Heaven were to be opened. They would be opened upon His resurrection on Easter morning. After that, Sheol would be closed. In the Bible, we are told that Elijah was taken up to Heaven in a fiery chariot. Was he actually taken up to Heaven. In John 3:13 says, "No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven--the Son of Man". Thus, none of the three, including Elijah, actually went to Heaven. They went to Sheol to await the opening of Heaven's Gates. As far as I know, there are only two corporeal bodies in Heaven - Jesus and His mother, Mary.
I think the answer is heaven is a real place. Only it’s not the eternal consummate reality that the Bible points to. The ultimate reality is the second coming of Christ and the resurrection from the dead.
After death... I will arrive before the Most High (whose Name be praised forever)my Father, and as an infant I will crawl across the floor, climb up into His lap, and He will cuddle me... forever.
@@nicholasosb8015 There is NOT ONE IOTA OF EVIDENCE OR PROOF THAT THOSE WORDS WERE UTTERED, EVER. The fact that the AUTHORS of most of what we call the Bible are COMPLETELY UNKNOWN, SHOULD MAKE US VERY SKEPTICAL OF ITS AUTHENTICITY. The authors of most of the Bible could have been SANE OR HALLUCINATING OR SUFFERING FROM DELUSIONS. To simply ACCEPT what is written in the Bible as anything but a treatise from an ancient civilization with NOT INE IOTA OF TESTABLE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT IT, IS, LUNACY.
So faith comes from hearing the message, and the message that is heard is what Christ spoke.Romans 10:17 Imo knowing truth of God's reality, comes by curiosity to know His love in history. Comes from people who wrote experiences, and just like anybody need discernment to understand conscience, is this God speaking to my heart. Many in war societies felt the Lord say destroy the enemy, but you get later effects...King David could not build a sacred Temple of God. Moses could not enter the Promised Land. Jesus comes to clear up the Old Testament history the thievery done in His Name by His People and seen inability to enter rest with God. He does hide...and takes coming to Him like a Father, to regard Him as Source of love and charity. The Lord is invisible to the disbelieving world though He sees what each does and feeds righteous and unrighteous. Faith is a blessing of going with good.... when you dont hide mercies from others. Illumination does happen if consider your heart to love it purely, by feeding it spiritual signs that do good to your ability...a little day by day...to know Creator of the world as He gives His breath to us, sustaining life also through responsible servants. God's gift of His Son is the Only Sacrifice needed when want to let go of hardened beliefs, and receive miracle of innocent impressions again. To do well,in life, so are willing to accept God's protection of others, when in enemy territory for them to drink from the only watering hole around. Saw on YT a lioness direct her cubs, by drinking water when a lone hyenna came to a small reservoir. It signalled not to harass. There is a call to protect God's Work in other usual enemies in their daily needs given universally by God. Some competition like food allowed, water is not. So also with other needs in others by God, to allow finese of unseen calls to soul, perhaps from ancestral regional needs in people as descendants. We are mixed group and need different signs to trust truth. Responsible with little, you will get more patience, firmness in connecting to God's Company, and hope. Again do not be harsh if meditating about unknown things. Google why people believe what they believe.. Jesus Christ Gave Us His Substitute Death on the Cross, execution by authorities of Himself, The Innocent Man, and is the only Offering God accepts for our mistakes, not our punishment, or society war or slavery malaise or anorexic way of eating food, a bad offering toward heaven, The Lord desires Divine Mercy in us, a union with God's abiding love. To me as Roman Catholic convert ("Anglia" English, N German Scandinavian background), I share a mystical communion with a family in heaven, a society with His Eternal Kingdom. To me paradise is the best way to do things God wanted you to do but denied in frustrated world. St Therese of Liseux also believed no purgatory punishment desired by God...only a Child of His has to do is believe like Good Thief on Cross. The Lord has done nothing wrong. The Lord will teach you Himself what is hest to do about controversial topics...and in His Kingdom, to me it is happening for souls now in Paradise. Makes you more beautiful longer there as taught how to do work well for Creation. Store treasure in heaven, so rust and moth dont destroy. When get denied trips or finding perfect love, or having a family...peace in heart as God does give that in protected time and world.
I love Bishop Barron and from Thomist philosophers I get that only the present is; why we don't see dinosaurs or cars from the 3020's. And that existence is one great ACT , one great event of existing things in a living dynamic. Catholics understand God as BEING. Not some other being or material cause. We are always in the immediate all that is and it is there , we are here, as gift called to joy. When you see a beautiful sunset , you really are looking at an immediate act of God and why it is beautiful. Beauty is a function of purpose. Cheers.
"We are always in the immediate all . . ." Yay! This also includes the realm(s) of heaven. When the host is consecrated, Jesus is present with all the saints and angels, Father God and Holy Spirit. The Eucharist is our taste of heaven, always present in the one great ACT of creation that is still, and ever, ongoing.
His excellency doesn't say what happens to a person's soul when he dies. If my soul goes to purgatory, my body will stay in my grave. If I'm made of my body and my soul, they are parts of me. If my soul goes to purgatory, heaven, or hell, my corpse will stay on Earth. Who knows how long my soul will wait for Christ to resurrect my body and reunite it with my soul? When His Excellency tells us what happens after anyone dies, I want to ask "How long after that?" Bishop Barron doesn't explain the relationship between the body and the soul. Since our souls survive disembodied when we die, the separation is like the one Plato describes in his dialogue where Socrates drinks the hemlock in prison. In it, Socrates tells his friends that he's eager to. die because his bodily functions won't distract him when he talks with other philosophers in the afterlife. Socrates believes he is what we'd call his soul and wats to leave his body. Bishop Barron's sermon. But he left out what happens to our souls when we die.
I can tell you 100% a soul/spirit does leave the body after death because i was visited by my friend at the exact time he passed. It appeared as a cylindrical silver bright white glowing object which communicated through emotions. It emanated pure joy as if i could reach out and touch joy.. then a strong sense of peace before it shot away through the wall of my house after maybe 20 seconds. I timestamped the clock in my room and it later matched the time he passed in hospital and i had no idea his life was in danger.
When we die first we stand before the accountant. Then we see Lucifer in Hell, after viewing Lucifer we hear a chorus of angels and perceive the presence of God in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. We then accept an assignment.
I'm I'm a practicing Catholic f*** I really needed this cause. I didn't know what we believed on this. I should know this. What's we doing if you're in a state of grace? No moral sins We are in a state of grace friendship.A God we go to Puerto Rico.Then the next step as we go to purgatory we go to heaven
" I didn't know what we believed on this." it seems as if you are unable to think for yourself. That's a shame . Why would you allow someone to dictate what your thoughts and beliefs are? Why can't you think for yourself? Good luck my friend.
I have had to have the beautiful bodies of two of my sons burnt to ashes and yet i know they are with me still! Why are you all so fixated on the minute details, just trust your Father in Heaven to take you home when your time comes!
I cannot adopt many things within catholicism. Indeed, so much so, I haven't listened to a single catholic scholar in my life (MAYBE, I have and didn't know they were catholic). Neither did, or do, I have any desire to draw close to it. Nevertheless, this I know. Robert is my brother. I'm so very proud of his work. I'd love to ask him many questions regarding his faith and choices. In any event, to save from saying nothing, I would recommend anyone to listen to this man who so obviously pours himself over the text. Thank you, Robert. Hope I meet you one day... oh, here, I mean 😊 I'm a preacher also, and you have helped me. Looking to listen to more from you.
As a Catholic, I am hopeful that what we were taught is so. Added to that Pope Francis said we would see our beloved pets in heaven. I believe as most animal lovers do that as a pet dies, be it dog, cat or horse, it crosses the Rainbow Bridge and we will meet again. I wish the second coming was sooner then later.
Pope Francis is a fool…Joe Biden in a robe… Animals are nothing but organic robots…they would eat you if they were hungry enough. (Stray pets roam Gaza eating the unburied dead, after all). Jesus came to save the poodles and cats too? What rats and skunks? Will they be in heaven too?
I don’t know what happens after you die, but I do know the people who love us will miss us very much. I sure miss the precious family and friends who have died. I pray they are happy and whole.
Thank you for the explanation by Bishop Barron. it is comforting to know that we will have a spiritual body ; when do we get that transformation? like every human being with the exception of B.V.Mary, our bodies will decay and become part of dust., except those holy ones whose bodies never corrupted. i believe Jesus and B.V. Mother will come to us to receive us at the time of our death and take us to the Father's House, our Eternal Home. Then , there is the state of purification in purgatory, before entering Father's Home? In the parable of the prodigal son, the Father embraced the prodigal as. he was , dirt and all. Does that mean that I will be embraced by the Father with all my stains as well? and then , He will send me to be washed and cleansed (purgatory) before the eternal entrance to our Father's home? Either way, I am going to be with Him ; time will not be a factor in Eternity.Time applies only here, right? Then, why we give time frame in purgatory? Too many questions of course...
I have now watched 3 episodes from this channel featuring Bishop Barron and question if the Bishop speaks for himself or does he speak for the Church. Other religious leaders, elders, and scholars have different interpretations of the bible messages. The Bible says that after we die, our body is buried until the day of resurrection, when Christ returns. At that time, we will be raised bodily from the grave and reunited with our soul, and we will be with the Lord forever. However, the Bible also says that when we die, we cease to exist, and the dead can’t think, act, or feel anything. And it also says those who have died-both righteous and wicked-will be raised to life in one of two resurrections. No, I can not follow Bishop Barron's teachings but I will consider them as one man's opinion. 👋😎
The Rich Man and Lazarus Luke 16:19-31 The story of the Rich Man and Lazarus is another well-known illustration of Jesus. Through it, we learn about what life after death is like. At times you will find some who dismiss the significance of the story by stating that it is only a parable. However, it is not called a parable in the Scriptures and it contains one feature that makes it different from the parables that Jesus told: this story names one of the main characters. In Jesus’ parables, an illustration is given from life, but the illustrations are generalized. They are something that could easily happen, but Jesus is not talking about one particular event. In the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus, details are given about a particular event. Even if this was a generalized tale, it doesn’t mean the things discussed are not true or only imaginary. All other parables are based on real events. Labeling this story a parable does not make it any less real.
My husband died 3 months ago. While at mass, looking at the crucifix, Jesus body whipped,bruise & lashed- my husbands arms,legs & back bruised with many wounds; as Christ bled out from his side, my husband hemorrhaged out 2 hrs before his last breath. He was mirroring some of how Jesus left us
There are theologians, philosophers and neuroscientists who argue that man does not have a soul. They accept the resurrection of the body. See Whatever Happened to the Soul Nancy Murphy Editor.
Господи, Слава Тебе За Все, молю Тебя, Прости меня и Пощади меня и Пощади рабов Божьих членов моей семьи и Спаси их от людей, которые могут причинить им зло, и несчастий и катастроф, Убереги их, Господи, Господи, Спаси нас! Аминь.
I am sitting here in the hospital with my mom. As I am told, she is dying. I know with all my heart that she will be with Jesus soon. But I will be here without her. I don't know how to go on.
Please talk to the hospital about grief counseling. I lost my wife of 50's after 10 1/2 years of very complicated medical issues. It has been 3 years and I miss her every day but support from my church and grief counseling allow me to continue to live.
It's interesting that the Catholic Church teaches most people will be in purgatory after death, yet most Catholics commenting believe their loved ones are in Heaven. Some teachings just aren't bearable.
I pray to Mother Mary And God to assist me as I have major Spinal fracture in all area of the spine having major operation very soon however it will only be in one section. As I have been waiting now over 14 months for operation. Can’t walk now. I pray 🙏 to mother Mary all the time as I love mother Mary. I wish I didn’t have to lay in bed most of the time. Thanks for prayers God Bless you all❤❤❤ 🙏🙏
I love the passage in Luke 24 not only because it shows Jesus' sense of humour but because he disappeared at the exact moment of the breaking of the bread. I take that as meaning that he became the bread at that moment so he couldn't be there in person as well. ..not like at the Last Supper when he says the bread is his body and wine, etc. Because he had not yet died on the cross he risen flesh had not yet become the bread and wine. He was showing us what to do in memory of him ...the ceremony of the sacrifice where he would be present after the resurrection.... Correct me if I'm wrong Bishop Baron. Thank you for your homilies!
I came to same idea . . . re: the transfiguration of Christ when He and Peter and James? went UP the mountain. My thought was this speaks of what is often called the Beatific Vision (when our souls, who RISE in Christ, are not simply 'wisps of air' but we will SEE all loved one's who went before us who are in the Glorified Body of Christ. We will be our own 'person' but also we will have a 'body' so we can see our loved one's and they will see us...and, of course, the GLORY OF GOD, Father Son Holy Spirit will shine brightly around us. It will be a NEW BODY in Christ, who live 'thru us' when we were in flesh. (didn't die, rose and lives in all who say YES to do His will) If we let him reside within our fleshly body, He will allow us to have a GLORIFIED body in heaven. aka A PERFECT 'body.' (and life will be same LOVED ONE'S SURROUNDING US forever.) Then eventually, we will have our original bodies resurrected and there will be a new heaven/new earth NOT sure how that works but KEEP THE FAITH...GOD can do anything.
Of course I want to meet Jesus, Mary, and Joseph - however, I also hope for a realm where I can finally do all of the things I was denied doing in this life either due to physical limitations or age, or lack of opportunity given the finiteness of earth. I would like to play the piano and also to fly planes, just as two examples of what I couldn't do here in this existence.
I have never experienced true love in my life, God is love, Jesus is love, do I wish to meet them yes, only then I will know what love is 🙏🏻💕, I pray daily this is true
Jesus said to one of the malefactors next to Him as they both hung on a cross, who asked Him to remember him when He came into His kingdom, "Today shalt thou be with me in paradise"! Luke 23:43.
I am a non believer who tries to keep an open mind and hence I watched this content. The bishop has a wonderful way of story telling that invites one to see things differently. However the bishop appears to also say that faith is a gift . Unfortunately or perhaps not, I have not received this gift. I am troubled because it seems that only the chosen get this gift (like St Paul who received it through no effort of his own). On the other hand the catholic faith says that everyone is included in God's plan. So it seems that I am back to where I started for two reasons. 1) the faith pre-requisite and 2) the bishop presented a catholic view without any compelling argument.
Jeremiah 29:13-14 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. The gift is within you. keep searching you will find. Blessing
My Soul, mind and heart every part of our body we are created by the Heaven father send his only beloved Son to us and when we die I believe that we will be his followers and will do what he say..in Jesus Name, Amen, Amen and Amen 🙏
This is confusing. If we open a grave, the body is still there, in a state of decomposition. My personal body is disabled and sick. I certainly don’t want to be stuck with this for all of eternity.
What happens when someone dies ? Psalm 146 : 4 His spirit goes out , he returns to the ground; on that very day his thoughts perish . Ecclesiastes 9 : 5 The living know that they will die , but the dead know nothing at all. Acts 24 : 15 There is going to he a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
It seems to me that what he said is that when you die, you just sleep until you're resurrected, whenever that is. There's no going to heaven, hell, or purgatory.
While I believe in a life to come and that Jesus died for every man salvation it’s very difficult to believe as a free gift. And that He would die for me personally as I know I am unworthy.
I am so very glad & happy for anyone who dies in the state of sanctifying grace, but I do not believe that i will die in the same state of grace, because I have committed many mortal sins, & I do not believe that GOD the SON is going to be able to forgive me, & thus I am open to hell with all of the devils 😢😢😢😢😢
God has given all of us the beautiful sacrament of confession for this very reason. Please go talk to a Catholic priest! God’s love will lead you from there!!!
After watching a video on what happens after we die, I still don’t know what happens after we die. First What happened to Jesus is described. Am I to believe what happened to Jesus will be what happens to me? The Catholic Church is always unclear on this point: according to the Church teachings we have a specific judgement when we die and then travel to heaven, hell, or purgatory. Yet during the Profession of Faith during Mass we state that we “look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come”. After watching this video, I am no more clear on what the Church teaches on what happens after we die than I was before I watched.
@@riley528i6 The Book of John was written by an unknown author 90 to 100 years after the death of Jesus. It is based on beliefs, which are just that: human understandings without any empirical evidence to support them. Religion is based on faith for which there is no empirical evidence. Catholics make up approximately 16% of the world's population. Christians account for approximately 30 percent of the world's population. Assuming there is a deity, although there is not evidence for one, believing that only 30 percent or less of the world's population would be saved, whatever that means, is madness.
A Catholic priest eloquently explains Christian fairy-tales about death, and gets away with it because you have to die in order to prove him wrong, and dead men tell no tales. However, you can reasonably infer what REALLY happens when you die. Under general anesthesia for an operation, your brain activity is suppressed. As a result, you have no consciousness or experience. When you reawaken after the operation, you have a memory lapse and don't remember what happened. When you die, there is total cessation of your brain activity. You will have no consciousness or experience.
Jesus said in John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. To get to heaven we need to accept by faith, Jesus as our atoning sacrifice, our saviour, that he took our sins on the cross. His resurrection is our promise that when we die - we also will be with him in heaven.
I feel it does not matter whether we get buried or cremated. Not everyone can afford a pot of a land and either way we do not maintain the physical body unless your body becomes incorruptible like some saints. My mother acattered my dad’s ash but I think (of course I don’t know for sure) he is fine on the other side.
Sheol is not some "shadowy half life" as this preacher thinks, the word means the "GRAVE" and that's what it is, burial place of the dead. Life does not continue in any way! (Psalm 146:4) His spirit goes out, he returns to the ground; ON THAT VERY DAY HIS THOUGHTS PERISH.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. This is the promise Jesus Christ made to us. John 3:16
I have not yet heard him say that you need to be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ you must repent of your sins. Jesus talked to Nicodemus and told Nicodemus that he needed to be born again or he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven so you must provide the way to get there you can't just talk about it
Eccl 9;4 For to him that is joined to all the living, there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5 For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know not anything, neither have they anymore a reward for the memory of them is forgotten. 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might, for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom,, in the grave wither thou goest...""

Our daughter was 25 years old and died at home from a rare disease. She suffered terribly and we prayed that Our Lord would end her agony.

Afterwards, she looked lovely and at peace.

My parents lived their Catholic faith as best as they could. Both died in emergency rooms. Dad praised God as he received the last rites. Mom was semiconscious and was intubated; my sisters and I surrounded her bed and prayed the rosary. The priest arrived to administer the last rites while we were praying. She died as these were going on. We live out our faith from birth to death and to eternity.
When I die I want to see my "Jesus first thing!" I love him forever & ever!
My oldest brother passed away in March 1995.
He was a very humble and religious. I told him one of my favorite Bible passage which deals with death is Lk 2:29-30.
He died at the hospital emergency room exactly at the time that we were praying the 4th Rosary’s 4th Joyful Mystery (Presentation at the Temple) which had the beautiful words of Simeon’s canticle, “Now Lord you may dismiss your servant in peace for my eyes have seen your salvation”.
The emergency room nurse told my sister that my brother woke up and in a trance uttered the words, “Now I understand, now I know, sir. Yes, sir, I am coming”.
When I die, I will no longer be disabled. (Cerebral Palsy). I will see Jesus, and I will finally have my perfect body. I can not wait!

@@Vasudeva108. Sometimes, but not often enough.
Trillions of people have died since time began. They can’t all be living with god! It’s very confusing. I’d like to think there’s an afterlife, but I doubt it.
@@brendaroseblade2858 But there is so much we just don't know, even in the known universe. With God, all things are possible.
I truly believe in life after death where we will see Jesus. For this to happen, we must have a personal relationship with Jesus and have him at the center of our lives. We must walk with Jesus every moment on earth and be vigilant while awaiting his call. A life of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving sets us on the right path. Grant us, O Lord, your spiritual guidance so that we may remain faithful to your call, and help us avoid all occasions of sin so that we may be pleasing in your sight.
Daily Holy Communion is a Must.
There is no closer personal relationship to Jesus than to receive Him in the Eucharist.
You are so blessed with such great faith.
When my dad died at 68 years old of a heart attack, I wasn't there, but saw his body a few hours after his death. He had such a happy, serene expression on his face. His closed eyes were smiling. Even the priest that came after he was pronounced dead commented on how he seemed like such a "jolly fellow." It brought me such comfort in such a trying time.
That means the undertakers did a good job

Yes, I believe Bishop Barron and TJ on "death" from personal experience when my husband died. I saw Brad's soul rise from dead body within minutes and a bigger cloud came from the living room ceiling, attached to Brad's soul and disappeared into living room ceiling.
And then a photo appeared on the wall where the soul and cloud had disappeared. It was so beautiful a photo-like no words could describe it. A firm voice spoke, Stephanie you can't come, you have more work to do. Then total quiet. I sat down and knew God in a new way.

13:00 I always found it telling that the very thing that the serpent tempts our first parents with is “to be like God”, when in fact God Himself wants to elevate us to be like Him, if only we humble ourselves first, just like Christ did (Philippians 2:9)
When the body dies, the soul does not stay there like a prisoner, it leaves the body and goes to the realm of souls, awaiting the resurrection of all bodies.
The repentant thief on his own cross was told by Jesus, “Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
No mention of Purgatory. Do Catholics still believe in Purgatory: a place where they endure pain of fire burning away their sins until they are purified enough to enter Heaven and be with God? I hope that old Lie has been erased from Catholic beliefs, bc it’s another one of Satan’s lies. Satan hates people and wants to destroy their belief in God’s Truth. Though Satan is battling God, so that old liar has no chance of winning, bc God is sovereign
@@skparlingyou are thinking of purgatory with human understanding. As a “place” to agnonize in. Yes, Catholics believe in purgatory. The Bible says we will be purified before meeting God.
@@skparlingThe Bible also says ‘be perfect as I am perfect’. Evil perhaps does not want you to believe in Him or Hell, and perhaps even purgatory. Why? If we believed in purgatory we would pray for our loved ones daily to be release into God’s presence. We would intercede on their behalf. Like Moses interceded on behalf of the people and God listened. God always listens.
most of my life I’ve thought our soul leaves our body when we die and goes to God but Bishop Barron has helped me see no body and soul are transfigured as we always confess in the Creed “The resurrection of the body and life everlasting “

I am going to have to write to Bishop Barron. I'm not sure I understood what he was talking about when discussing Sheol. As I understood it, Sheol was where the souls of the righteous went prior to the coming of Christ. We say that Christ descended into hell when he died on the Cross. No. He did not go to the hell of eternal damnation. He went into Sheol to let all those know that the Gates of Heaven were to be opened. They would be opened upon His resurrection on Easter morning. After that, Sheol would be closed.
In the Bible, we are told that Elijah was taken up to Heaven in a fiery chariot. Was he actually taken up to Heaven. In John 3:13 says, "No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven--the Son of Man". Thus, none of the three, including Elijah, actually went to Heaven. They went to Sheol to await the opening of Heaven's Gates. As far as I know, there are only two corporeal bodies in Heaven - Jesus and His mother, Mary.
I think the answer is heaven is a real place. Only it’s not the eternal consummate reality that the Bible points to. The ultimate reality is the second coming of Christ and the resurrection from the dead.
After death... I will arrive before the Most High (whose Name be praised forever)my Father, and as an infant I will crawl across the floor, climb up into His lap, and He will cuddle me... forever.
2 Corinthians 5:8. We are confident I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord
And as He said to the repentant thief on the cross, “Today you will be with Me in Paradise”.

@@colinmatts faith
So faith comes from hearing the message, and the message that is heard is what Christ spoke.Romans 10:17
Imo knowing truth of God's reality, comes by curiosity to know His love in history. Comes from people who wrote experiences, and just like anybody need discernment to understand conscience, is this God speaking to my heart. Many in war societies felt the Lord say destroy the enemy, but you get later effects...King David could not build a sacred Temple of God. Moses could not enter the Promised Land. Jesus comes to clear up the Old Testament history the thievery done in His Name by His People and seen inability to enter rest with God. He does hide...and takes coming to Him like a Father, to regard Him as Source of love and charity. The Lord is invisible to the disbelieving world though He sees what each does and feeds righteous and unrighteous. Faith is a blessing of going with good.... when you dont hide mercies from others.
Illumination does happen if consider your heart to love it purely, by feeding it spiritual signs that do good to your ability...a little day by day...to know Creator of the world as He gives His breath to us, sustaining life also through responsible servants.
God's gift of His Son is the Only Sacrifice needed when want to let go of hardened beliefs, and receive miracle of innocent impressions again.
To do well,in life,
so are willing to accept God's protection of others, when in enemy territory for them to drink from the only watering hole around.
Saw on YT a lioness direct her cubs, by drinking water when a lone hyenna came to a small reservoir. It signalled not to harass. There is a call to protect God's Work in other usual enemies in their daily needs given universally by God. Some competition like food allowed, water is not.
So also with other needs in others by God, to allow finese of unseen calls to soul, perhaps from ancestral regional needs in people as descendants.
We are mixed group and need different signs to trust truth. Responsible with little, you will get more patience, firmness in connecting to God's Company, and hope.
Again do not be harsh if meditating about unknown things. Google why people believe what they believe.. Jesus Christ Gave Us His Substitute Death on the Cross, execution by authorities of Himself, The Innocent Man,
and is the only Offering God accepts for our mistakes,
not our punishment,
or society war or slavery malaise
or anorexic way of eating food, a bad offering toward heaven,
The Lord desires Divine Mercy in us, a union with God's abiding love.
To me as Roman Catholic convert ("Anglia" English, N German Scandinavian background), I share a mystical communion with a family in heaven, a society with His Eternal Kingdom. To me paradise is the best way to do things God wanted you to do but denied in frustrated world. St Therese of Liseux also believed no purgatory punishment desired by God...only a Child of His has to do is believe like Good Thief on Cross. The Lord has done nothing wrong.
The Lord will teach you Himself what is hest to do about controversial topics...and in His Kingdom, to me it is happening for souls now in Paradise.
Makes you more beautiful longer there as taught how to do work well for Creation.
Store treasure in heaven, so rust and moth dont destroy. When get denied trips or finding perfect love, or having a family...peace in heart as God does give that in protected time and world.
@@geraldhansen6897 Faith is not a path to knowledge
"Can the dust give praise to God?" Excellent observation about the possibility of afterlife.
I love Bishop Barron and from Thomist philosophers I get that only the present is; why we don't see dinosaurs or cars from the 3020's. And that existence is one great ACT , one great event of existing things in a living dynamic. Catholics understand God as BEING. Not some other being or material cause. We are always in the immediate all that is and it is there , we are here, as gift called to joy. When you see a beautiful sunset , you really are looking at an immediate act of God and why it is beautiful. Beauty is a function of purpose. Cheers.
"We are always in the immediate all . . ." Yay! This also includes the realm(s) of heaven. When the host is consecrated, Jesus is present with all the saints and angels, Father God and Holy Spirit. The Eucharist is our taste of heaven, always present in the one great ACT of creation that is still, and ever, ongoing.
Любовь Милость Покаяние! Аминь.
His excellency doesn't say what happens to a person's soul when he dies. If my soul goes to purgatory, my body will stay in my grave. If I'm made of my body and my soul, they are parts of me. If my soul goes to purgatory, heaven, or hell, my corpse will stay on Earth. Who knows how long my soul will wait for Christ to resurrect my body and reunite it with my soul? When His Excellency tells us what happens after anyone dies, I want to ask "How long after that?"
Bishop Barron doesn't explain the relationship between the body and the soul. Since our souls survive disembodied when we die, the separation is like the one Plato describes in his dialogue where Socrates drinks the hemlock in prison. In it, Socrates tells his friends that he's eager to. die because his bodily functions won't distract him when he talks with other philosophers in the afterlife. Socrates believes he is what we'd call his soul and wats to leave his body.
Bishop Barron's sermon. But he left out what happens to our souls when we die.
I can tell you 100% a soul/spirit does leave the body after death because i was visited by my friend at the exact time he passed. It appeared as a cylindrical silver bright white glowing object which communicated through emotions. It emanated pure joy as if i could reach out and touch joy.. then a strong sense of peace before it shot away through the wall of my house after maybe 20 seconds. I timestamped the clock in my room and it later matched the time he passed in hospital and i had no idea his life was in danger.
JESUS SAID "MANY ARE CALLED BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN " God bless 🙏
When we die first we stand before the accountant. Then we see Lucifer in Hell, after viewing Lucifer we hear a chorus of angels and perceive the presence of God in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. We then accept an assignment.

I cannot adopt many things within catholicism. Indeed, so much so, I haven't listened to a single catholic scholar in my life (MAYBE, I have and didn't know they were catholic). Neither did, or do, I have any desire to draw close to it. Nevertheless, this I know. Robert is my brother. I'm so very proud of his work. I'd love to ask him many questions regarding his faith and choices. In any event, to save from saying nothing, I would recommend anyone to listen to this man who so obviously pours himself over the text. Thank you, Robert. Hope I meet you one day... oh, here, I mean 😊
I'm a preacher also, and you have helped me. Looking to listen to more from you.
As a Catholic, I am hopeful that what we were taught is so. Added to that Pope Francis said we would see our beloved pets in heaven. I believe as most animal lovers do that as a pet dies, be it dog, cat or horse, it crosses the Rainbow Bridge and we will meet again. I wish the second coming was sooner then later.
Pope Francis is a fool…Joe Biden in a robe…
Animals are nothing but organic robots…they would eat you if they were hungry enough. (Stray pets roam Gaza eating the unburied dead, after all).
Jesus came to save the poodles and cats too? What rats and skunks? Will they be in heaven too?
Господи, молю Тебя, Прости мне мои грехи и Помилуй меня и Помилуй рабов Божьих членов моей семьи! Аминь.
I don’t know what happens after you die, but I do know the people who love us will miss us very much. I sure miss the precious family and friends who have died. I pray they are happy and whole.
Jesus taught us in the parable of Lazarus and the unnamed rich man that angels will carry us as we die. I find that comforting.
I always say no living man knows, but each of us will find out eventually. Our time here is short so make it count.
"THE FEWNESS OF THE SAVED" God bless 🙏
Thank you for the explanation by Bishop Barron. it is comforting to know that we will have a spiritual body ; when do we get that transformation? like every human being with the exception of B.V.Mary, our bodies will decay and become part of dust., except those holy ones whose bodies never corrupted. i believe Jesus and B.V. Mother will come to us to receive us at the time of our death and take us to the Father's House, our Eternal Home. Then , there is the state of purification in purgatory, before entering Father's Home? In the parable of the prodigal son, the Father embraced the prodigal as. he was , dirt and all. Does that mean that I will be embraced by the Father with all my stains as well? and then , He will send me to be washed and cleansed (purgatory) before the eternal entrance to our Father's home? Either way, I am going to be with Him ; time will not be a factor in Eternity.Time applies only here, right? Then, why we give time frame in purgatory? Too many questions of course...
I have now watched 3 episodes from this channel featuring Bishop Barron and question if the Bishop speaks for himself or does he speak for the Church. Other religious leaders, elders, and scholars have different interpretations of the bible messages. The Bible says that after we die, our body is buried until the day of resurrection, when Christ returns. At that time, we will be raised bodily from the grave and reunited with our soul, and we will be with the Lord forever. However, the Bible also says that when we die, we cease to exist, and the dead can’t think, act, or feel anything. And it also says those who have died-both righteous and wicked-will be raised to life in one of two resurrections. No, I can not follow Bishop Barron's teachings but I will consider them as one man's opinion. 👋😎
This guys own Bible states what happens after dead
"Remember man you are dust and back to dust you Will return "
The Rich Man and Lazarus
Luke 16:19-31
The story of the Rich Man and Lazarus is another well-known illustration of Jesus. Through it, we learn about what life after death is like. At times you will find some who dismiss the significance of the story by stating that it is only a parable. However, it is not called a parable in the Scriptures and it contains one feature that makes it different from the parables that Jesus told: this story names one of the main characters. In Jesus’ parables, an illustration is given from life, but the illustrations are generalized. They are something that could easily happen, but Jesus is not talking about one particular event. In the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus, details are given about a particular event. Even if this was a generalized tale, it doesn’t mean the things discussed are not true or only imaginary. All other parables are based on real events. Labeling this story a parable does not make it any less real.
My husband died 3 months ago. While at mass, looking at the crucifix, Jesus body whipped,bruise & lashed- my husbands arms,legs & back bruised with many wounds; as Christ bled out from his side, my husband hemorrhaged out 2 hrs before his last breath. He was mirroring some of how Jesus left us
The truth of the matter surely is that no one knows what happens. I know people are itching to find out but that is just the reality.
There are theologians, philosophers and neuroscientists who argue that man does not have a soul. They accept the resurrection of the body. See Whatever Happened to the Soul Nancy Murphy Editor.
Господи, Слава Тебе За Все, молю Тебя, Прости меня и Пощади меня и Пощади рабов Божьих членов моей семьи и Спаси их от людей, которые могут причинить им зло, и несчастий и катастроф, Убереги их, Господи, Господи, Спаси нас! Аминь.
Господи, молю Тебя, Помилуй нас! Аминь.
I am sitting here in the hospital with my mom. As I am told, she is dying. I know with all my heart that she will be with Jesus soon. But I will be here without her. I don't know how to go on.
Please talk to the hospital about grief counseling. I lost my wife of 50's after 10 1/2 years of very complicated medical issues. It has been 3 years and I miss her every day but support from my church and grief counseling allow me to continue to live.
Pray for you and your mum
It's interesting that the Catholic Church teaches most people will be in purgatory after death, yet most Catholics commenting believe their loved ones are in Heaven. Some teachings just aren't bearable.
I pray to Mother Mary And God to assist me as I have major Spinal fracture in all area of the spine having major operation very soon however it will only be in one section. As I have been waiting now over 14 months for operation. Can’t walk now. I pray 🙏 to mother Mary all the time as I love mother Mary. I wish I didn’t have to lay in bed most of the time. Thanks for prayers God Bless you all❤❤❤ 🙏🙏
I love the passage in Luke 24 not only because it shows Jesus' sense of humour but because he disappeared at the exact moment of the breaking of the bread. I take that as meaning that he became the bread at that moment so he couldn't be there in person as well. ..not like at the Last Supper when he says the bread is his body and wine, etc. Because he had not yet died on the cross he risen flesh had not yet become the bread and wine. He was showing us what to do in memory of him ...the ceremony of the sacrifice where he would be present after the resurrection.... Correct me if I'm wrong Bishop Baron. Thank you for your homilies!
I came to same idea . . . re: the transfiguration of Christ when He and Peter and James? went UP the mountain. My thought was this speaks of what is often called the Beatific Vision (when our
souls, who RISE in Christ, are not simply 'wisps of air' but we will SEE all loved one's who went before us who are in the Glorified Body of Christ. We will be our own 'person' but also we will have
a 'body' so we can see our loved one's and they will see us...and, of course, the GLORY OF GOD, Father Son Holy Spirit will shine brightly around us. It will be a NEW BODY in Christ, who
live 'thru us' when we were in flesh. (didn't die, rose and lives in all who say YES to do His will) If we let him reside within our fleshly body, He will allow us to have a GLORIFIED body in heaven.
aka A PERFECT 'body.' (and life will be same LOVED ONE'S SURROUNDING US forever.) Then eventually, we will have our original bodies resurrected and there will be a new heaven/new earth
NOT sure how that works but KEEP THE FAITH...GOD can do anything.
Of course I want to meet Jesus, Mary, and Joseph - however, I also hope for a realm where I can finally do all of the things I was denied doing in this life either due to physical limitations or age, or lack of opportunity given the finiteness of earth. I would like to play the piano and also to fly planes, just as two examples of what I couldn't do here in this existence.
I have never experienced true love in my life, God is love, Jesus is love, do I wish to meet them yes, only then I will know what love is 🙏🏻💕, I pray daily this is true
Jesus said to one of the malefactors next to Him as they both hung on a cross, who asked Him to remember him when He came into His kingdom, "Today shalt thou be with me in paradise"! Luke 23:43.
Explain then, " Absent from the body, present with the Lord."
I am a non believer who tries to keep an open mind and hence I watched this content. The bishop has a wonderful way of story telling that invites one to see things differently. However the bishop appears to also say that faith is a gift . Unfortunately or perhaps not, I have not received this gift. I am troubled because it seems that only the chosen get this gift (like St Paul who received it through no effort of his own). On the other hand the catholic faith says that everyone is included in God's plan. So it seems that I am back to where I started for two reasons. 1) the faith pre-requisite and 2) the bishop presented a catholic view without any compelling argument.
Jeremiah 29:13-14 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. The gift is within you. keep searching you will find. Blessing
God is there ,just open your eyes. I will pray for you.
My Soul, mind and heart every part of our body we are created by the Heaven father send his only beloved Son to us and when we die I believe that we will be his followers and will do what he say..in Jesus Name, Amen, Amen and Amen 🙏
This is confusing. If we open a grave, the body is still there, in a state of decomposition. My personal body is disabled and sick. I certainly don’t want to be stuck with this for all of eternity.
Trust Lord Jesus Christ that u will be perfect in heaven, body and soul.
Yes yes
🙌
Great !!
What happens when someone dies ?
Psalm 146 : 4
His spirit goes out , he returns to the ground; on that very day his thoughts perish .
Ecclesiastes 9 : 5
The living know that they will die , but the dead know nothing at all.
Acts 24 : 15
There is going to he a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
It seems to me that what he said is that when you die, you just sleep until you're resurrected, whenever that is. There's no going to heaven, hell, or purgatory.
While I believe in a life to come and that Jesus died for every man salvation it’s very difficult to believe as a free gift. And that He would die for me personally as I know I am unworthy.
I am so very glad & happy for anyone who dies in the state of sanctifying grace, but I do not believe that i will die in the same state of grace, because I have committed many mortal sins, & I do not believe that GOD the SON is going to be able to forgive me, & thus I am open to hell with all of the devils 😢😢😢😢😢
God has given all of us the beautiful sacrament of confession for this very reason. Please go talk to a Catholic priest! God’s love will lead you from there!!!
After watching a video on what happens after we die, I still don’t know what happens after we die. First What happened to Jesus is described. Am I to believe what happened to Jesus will be what happens to me?
The Catholic Church is always unclear on this point: according to the Church teachings we have a specific judgement when we die and then travel to heaven, hell, or purgatory. Yet during the Profession of Faith during Mass we state that we “look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come”.
After watching this video, I am no more clear on what the Church teaches on what happens after we die than I was before I watched.
Thanks!
Thank you. This is much appreciated!
Don't forget the key requirements for heaven: accepting, obeying, loving worshiping Jesus. That means repenting of your sins.
Having grown up in a Catholic, Jewish, and Lutheran extended family, the notion that only those that worship Jesus will see heaven is ignorant.
“No one comes to the Father, except through me.” - John 14:6
@@riley528i6 The Book of John was written by an unknown author 90 to 100 years after the death of Jesus. It is based on beliefs, which are just that: human understandings without any empirical evidence to support them. Religion is based on faith for which there is no empirical evidence.
Catholics make up approximately 16% of the world's population. Christians account for approximately 30 percent of the world's population. Assuming there is a deity, although there is not evidence for one, believing that only 30 percent or less of the world's population would be saved, whatever that means, is madness.
@@paulsmith3820 oh ye of little faith...
A Catholic priest eloquently explains Christian fairy-tales about death, and gets away with it because you have to die in order to prove him wrong, and dead men tell no tales.
However, you can reasonably infer what REALLY happens when you die. Under general anesthesia for an operation, your brain activity is suppressed. As a result, you have no consciousness or experience. When you reawaken after the operation, you have a memory lapse and don't remember what happened. When you die, there is total cessation of your brain activity. You will have no consciousness or experience.
Jesus said in John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. To get to heaven we need to accept by faith, Jesus as our atoning sacrifice, our saviour, that he took our sins on the cross. His resurrection is our promise that when we die - we also will be with him in heaven.
I feel it does not matter whether we get buried or cremated. Not everyone can afford a pot of a land and either way we do not maintain the physical body unless your body becomes incorruptible like some saints. My mother acattered my dad’s ash but I think (of course I don’t know for sure) he is fine on the other side.
Sheol is not some "shadowy half life" as this preacher thinks, the word means the "GRAVE" and that's what it is, burial place of the dead. Life does not continue in any way!
(Psalm 146:4) His spirit goes out, he returns to the ground; ON THAT VERY DAY HIS THOUGHTS PERISH.
My first homily with commercials
@rickgillespie5494: Use an "Ad-Blocker" (they are usually free). I can't remember the last time I saw an Ad on YT.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
This is the promise Jesus Christ made to us.
John 3:16
I have not yet heard him say that you need to be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ you must repent of your sins. Jesus talked to Nicodemus and told Nicodemus that he needed to be born again or he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven so you must provide the way to get there you can't just talk about it
But since there is no such office as a New Testament, sacerdotal, sacrificing priesthood, why should we believe "Father" Barron?
Eccl 9;4 For to him that is joined to all the living, there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
5 For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know not anything, neither have they anymore a reward for the memory of them is forgotten.
10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might, for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom,, in the grave wither thou goest...""
How can anyone claim to know anything about dying and the here after???Not possible!
