No where in the bible does it say that people will be raised from the dead...

Never knew it but....the Bible never once said in any scripture that there will be righteous people raised from the dead and put in a paradise earth. I took down the Knowledge book and looked every scripture and there was memorial tombs mentioned being opened and there is a scripture that talks about the meek inheriting the earth but there is not one scripture that spells it out......there will be a reserrection of good people to a perfect earth...probably very old news to some but shocked the sh@t out of me.

Gee, well what ever you say there bud. Then what is the basic hope the bible is trying to say then for humans?

Some things do come as a shock as you begin to wake up and see that the stuff you've been taught to believe was all a lie. I was shocked that the people who were there for me in my time of need were not my good, loving, blessed God-chosen witless family but evil, disgusting, tattooed, disease ridden, damned to everlasting destruction worldly people!

The horror... I almost didn't survive the shock.

The worse thing is...I told other people this lie too. I mean I really believed it and would have died defending this belief. Very scary.

John 5 v 28 ?

I understand. When my daughter was born, I refused blood in a life&death emergency. It very nearly cost both my daughter and I our lives. Had it not been for the extrordinary skill of my surgeon and his fortunate prior experience with the exact rare condition causing the massive blood loss, we would both have perished. My daughter was, as a result, born blue and had to be revived thrice. I didn't fully regain consciousness until the next day. My surgeon sat and cried at my bedside the next day and said we were the closest he had ever come to losing someone on the operating table. I was the last witness patient he agreed to treat. When faced with allegations of discrimination, he retired.

At the time, we saw our survival as a sign of devine blessing on our resolve to 'remain faithful' in the face of death. Now, I shudder to think that I chose a vague doctrine that I didn't fully understand over the life of one of the most beautiful, smart and wonderful women I know, my daughter.

You just have to shake your head that you ever bought into this s&^t.

Job 19:25-27 ?

I think she means that the idea of people being resurected en-mass to live together in a paradise earth is not specifically spelled out in the scriptures in the way the society paints the picture.

Or have I misunderstood the main point of your initial post, Daughter?

Well, at least the Bible clearly states that Jesus would invisibly be here in 1914 of the modern calendar and that in 1919, a small group of men should be put in charge of saying what God is trying to tell people in the last days so that 144,000 of them can rule over the rest of them.

At least it clearly says that people who reject the lead of that small group of men should be shunned now and destroyed soon.

No where in the bible does it say that people will be raised from the dead...
