That's true.
Well' date=' yeah, I guess so. However, I don't have a true understanding. I guess when some people told me that my father was in **** because he was wearing all black and I couldn't see his face. However, he hugged me and when he did. I felt some comfortable. I just knew it was him. However, when she told me that I got scared. She told me all this stuff just to make me feel bad. And her family is really religious. She told me he had to wear all white in order to be in heaven.[/quote']
Well obviously they are incorrect. It bugs me when people say they know what the bible teaches when they themselves do not know what it says.
Ask your friend and her relatives this: Where in the bible does it say 'if you dream your father was in all black you get tormented forever in a furnace. They won't be able to give you an answer.
Besides the whole understanding of **** is twisted. Theres direct proof of this when Job actually asked to go to **** (or 'sheol' in origonal translation) to stop his suffering. Now why would any human being want to go to **** if it meant being totured forever? **** was actually found to be another word for grave which actually sorts alot of stuff.
So have you read about the resurection of dead people in the bible?
That makes a lot of sense thanks a lot. I'll go ask her that. I just can't tell her anything without her saying something. I just no his in no more pain. When you face something like I did. I often don't think. I'll ask her. No' date=' I haven't read it. I haven't had time to read very much or for that matter sleep very rarely. Its been a mouth since everything happen.[/quote']
You would be right to think he is in no pain. The condition of the dead is made clear at Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, : "The dead know nothing . . . In the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom."
Don't let anyone tell you different. Im sorry for your loss. That's why i think the bible is good. It gives people hope like for you to see your dad again in the near future. Maybe i can talk to you another day about it.
