fairy

when my mum died i took it very hard and would cry at the drop of a hat...i couldnt forgive myself for not being a the hospital when she died even though 2 of my sisters were with her....i missed her sooooooo much....one of my sisters told me what happened the morning she died and i would have that going through my head all the time...2 yrs after she died we moved interstate and i went to a psychic along with my sister in law,....and for me that was the best thing i had ever done,...i dont ponder over her death as much anymore, i dont feel guilty anymore about not being there etc etc...one thing the psychic told me was that my mother and my grandmother were standing behind me over my left shoulder....whether things like that are true i dont know but it was a great source of help to me....of course i still feel sad about the fact she died...i really miss her and i really love her....one thing was when she was dying she said she was going to heaven.....and she had been a witness for about 38 yrs....

((fairy)) Katie and I feel your sense of loss. Time does heal wounds, or at least make them more bearable. For a long time, when I'd drive past a jobsite that I'd worked on with my brother, I'd just feel sick inside. More and more I'm remembering with a smile.

francois, a question. Wouldn't the "uniqueness of being" require continuity of existence? If so, resurrection from non-existence would be a new being, not a re-creation of the previously existing being.

I'm seriously inclined to believe that we are immortal (in the future sense).

I believe in Death after Life.

The resurrection always bothered me. Why should I be happy that a clone is made of me? And It gets to live forever. The little 5 year old "me" sitting in the kindergarten reading circle died 53 years ago.

Will my "resurrected clone" really have ALL my memories. Or will it just have enough memory to make all those who knew me think my clone is REALLY me. Since the real me can't verify objectively that all my memories are included in my clones memory this makes it possible for the clone maker to cheat a little on the details.

Then there is the situation where my body replaces all of its cells every "X" number of years. So I am already a clone of my earlier selves. I seem to have forgotten some things in my past and this doesn't seem to bother me. So my "clone" (resurrected person) may not be bothered by forgotten memories either.

So, the whole resurrection/ immortality, everlasting life THING seems to be rather egotistica.

There seems to be ALOT of scriptures that indicate that something DOES happen after death, despite the Borg's attempt to "explain" all these scriptures away by either telling us "it really doesn't mean that" or "that scripture only applies to the 144,000:

Matt 10:28 “And do not become fearful of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be in fear of him that can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna”

Rev 6:9 “And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the witness work that they used to have.

John 11:25-26 “Jesus said to her: "I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all.”

Phil 1:21-23 ““I am under pressure from these two things; but what I do desire is the releasing and the being with Christ, for this, to be sure, is far better.” For in my case to live is Christ, and to die, gain.”

1 Kings 17:21-22 “And he proceeded to stretch himself upon the child three times and call to Jehovah and say: ‘O Jehovah my God, please, cause the soul of this child to come back within him.’ Finally Jehovah listened to Elijah’s voice, so that the soul of the child came back within him and he came to life.”

Acts 7:59 “And they went on casting stones at Stephen as he made appeal and said: ‘Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” -Since the Watchtower teaches that a man’s spirit is only his “life force” or “breath”, why would Stephen ask Jesus to receive something that is about to cease existing? Pretty dumb.

Luke 23:46 “And Jesus called with a loud voice and said: ‘Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit” - Again, why would Jesus entrust his spirit to His Father if it was something immaterial that was about to be extinguished?

1 Corinthinans 15: 42-53:

42: So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45: And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46: Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47: The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48: As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49: And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50: Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51: Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52: 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.
53: For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

2 Cor. 5:6-9: "…while at home in the body we are absent from the Lord......I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. Therefore also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him."

Luke 16:19-31--The Rich man and Lazarus. Nuff said.

Gen. 35:18--Rachel died and her soul departed.

(Eccl. 12:7)--"the body will return to the earth and the spirit will return to God who gave it"

Certainly sounds to me like something happens at death.

I've been contemplating on this issue,

How great it was when you thought you had all the answers to life.

Now, I just dont know.

As we walk down the road of our destiny

And the time comes to choose which shall it be

The wide and crooked, or the straight and narrow

We got one life to live and one voice to give

Stand up for something or lay down in the game

Listen to the song that we sang

It's up to you to make it be

I guess I'll see you when you see me.

I'm gonna take a break now........ hu hu hu
