"For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people," "Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you." "Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry." "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." "It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these." "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:" "Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;" "For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself." "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation." |

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed," "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." "For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." "So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" Hebrews 11:1-6 King James Version (KJV) "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." "For by it the elders obtained a good report." "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." "By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh." "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God." "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." |

How can he save you after you're dead if he is no longer your god after death? You cannot be saved - PERIOD - before or after death. The church has perverted the jesus christ messages and almost every 'christian' on this earth has bought into this. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 22054163 United States 05/02/2013 07:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why would anyone want God to be? If you are guilty to what God says He holds you accountable for....why would you want Him to be real? If you are totally contended to live up your life and existence here for all it has to offer you....why want God? Why is what determines real from not real. Why also determines what you get. It does not matter what you want but why you wanted any way with it at all.....for the tossing or for the crossing...or for the good. For the fear is acceptable but never for your gain or control or continuation in this existing realm. That is epic fail...along with reaching for the sceptre. It is your desire you long for to be real..because you rather have it. Even those who fear to do a thing can still do it...and break through to the other side to see they are no longer afraid... But quite content. |

Let this bring you much joy. There is no hell and Heaven is here on earth, Christians waiting for a kingdom after death have never even entered the kingdom of the lord on earth. This was Jesus Christs command of us, to enter into his kingdom through him in the dark, in secret, here on earth in our minds. He has said this was prayer. Today we call prayer what you see it is.. and this will get you absolutely no where just as Jesus has said it would. |

Interested Reader 1 User ID: 39246252 United States 05/02/2013 11:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A disciple of Jesus was asked if he could bury his father before he followed Him. Jesus' words were this: "Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead." Matthew 8:22. Our heavenly Father is the God of the living. "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Issac, and the God of Jacob.? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." Matthew 22:32. Though there are some christian denominations that believe in baptism of the dead for that purpose. Mormanism is one. The Catholic church taught that loved ones could be bought out of purgatory. Neither is scriptural. These traditions came straight from the ancient Babylonian and Egyptian traditions. "He who is the blessed and only Potentate,the King of kings and Lord of lords, WHO ALONE HAS IMMORTALITY, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see......," 1 Timothy 6:21.
