The Mystery of Death

A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.
Charles Spurgeon

Death is a mysterious thing I am yet to understand it,for no one has been there and done that as far as death is concern.
I have heard advice on all manner of subjects but no one has yet set up a consultancy in the lucrative area of death. no one has come back to share.

Gods word says the Dead knows nothing.

• Psalms 6:3-5 no remembrance in death
• Psalms 146 :4 IN that day his thoughts perish
• Ecclesiastes 9: 5 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.6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion forever in any thing that is done under the sun.

This immortal soul theory was garnered from one bible verse and twisted.

Remember line upon line precept upon precept here a little there a little.

Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Lets take a look at this text also
Gen 2 : 17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

In The first scripture luke 23:43 did Jesus enter into paradise. did he go to heaven straight way. lets find out.
11But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

12And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

13And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know not where they have laid him.

14And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

15Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

16Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

17Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Example number two.
Gen 2:17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Adam had kids and grand kids and so on after sin after the day he eat the fruit

Gen 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

Well Adam and Eve did eat, did they die ? Yes
was it the same Day ? no
Is God a lier ? No
Then what ?

Apparently when decisions are made for eternal life in the bible its recorded as "Today", made on a day.It is said in the bible Today if you die today you are save . you are with me (saved)Luke 23:43 above or today you die Gen 2:17. (your lost unless you repent and turn)

2 cor 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
However once save not always save. Its a daily commitment,a daily living.

So if you have decided to follow Christ you have made a conscious decision if you die at that moment you are in the Kingdom
If you have not decided to follow Christ you have made a conscious decisions by not deciding.rejecting and not deciding is one and the same .

If you are in a sinking ship, life boats and jackets are available and you decide not to be save by using them you have decided to be lost to die. In not making a decision you have made a decision.

God does not predestine who should be saved .
He provide the way .
We make the decisions.

2 cor 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

God's word is the TRUTH.
