Happy Monday

It's interesting what people do and what they don't do. What they compare and what they don't compare. What a person does in life to get or stay out of trouble.

I thought about the Church post and maybe Dad figured it out. Like before when the marriage was in trouble, what did Dad run to? God.

Most will seek God when they are in trouble, have marriage trouble, or even if they have a hangover.

It's sad that a person would only turn to God when it benefits them. I wish more would turn and STAY with God.

As for the lies preachers teach, well you can see right through it but sadly when common sense doesn't take place it only makes you wonder who is blinded by what is taught.

Simple question - If our future was Heaven why did Jesus need to come to Earth?

Simple question - If our future was Heaven, why not just create us in Heaven?

Simple question - If our future was Heaven, why make us suffer on Earth?

Simple question - If our future was Heaven, why make our children suffer?

Simple question - If our future was Heaven, why is there many who starve to death?

There is more to it than just saying we die and go to Heaven.

Simple question - Who exactly goes to hell?

Simple question - If we die and go to Heaven anyway, why was the Earth created?

Simple question - If God is more powerful than Satan, why all the suffering?

Simple question - Why do many use idols when the bible says not to?
..................................................................................
Simple question - If Jesus is God, who was he praying to?

Simple question - Jesus never made himself an equal to God, why do people?

Simple question - Scripture tells us that Jesus was the first created? God has always been so if Jesus is God, then it would mean God was created? Who then created God?

Simple question - We are taught that if you are bad you go to hell but yet scriptures teach that all sins are forgiven when you die so again like the question above, who goes to hell?

Where are the dead?
Gen. 3:19: In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.

Eccl. 9:10: All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol.

What is the condition of the dead?
Eccl. 9:5: The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.

Ps. 146:4: His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.

John 11:11-14: Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep. Jesus said to them outspokenly: ‘Lazarus has died.’ Also see Psalm 13:3

Is there some part of man that lives on when the body dies?
Ezek. 18:4: The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.

Isa. 53:12: He poured out his soul to the very death.Compare Matthew 26:38.

Are the dead in any way able to help or to harm the living?
Eccl. 9:6: Their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.

Isa. 26:14: They are dead; they will not live. Impotent in death, they will not rise up.

Not to mention in the book of Revelation 21 verse 3 & 4 which reads: With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say, Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.

This is a promise from Jehovah and think about this. If our future is to die and go to Heaven, notice that it says that Death will be no more. How do we get to Heaven if Death is no more?

Also in Isaiah chapter 25 verse 8 it says that: He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken it.

That is a promise from Jehovah. Also think about this. If all die and go to Heaven, notice what is mentioned at John 5:28, 29:  Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.

Notice the scripture points out that all those in the graves will come out. If we die and go to Heaven, why would we need to come out? And what is this judgment mentioned in that same scripture if we are already in Heaven?

These are the things Priests cannot answer correctly because the Truth is not in them. Remember when Jesus was on Earth, he taught the truth but there were others who were also on Earth who thought they were teaching the truth, thus Jesus gave identifying features of those who would be teaching the truth.
