thesis: It's like comparing planet earth to Jupiter. Jupiter is 15,000 times bigger than Earth. The small red spot on Jupiter is 3 times bigger than this Earth. And the average wind that happens on Jupiter will make earth habitation to become a wasteland. That's just a scenario of what its like when comparing Hellfire with Lake of Fire. |

Sorry you just wasted your time. You are really in darkness with regards this issue of purgatory.I can't blame you though you are not a Catholic so you can never understand. adeniyitheprof: |

Wilgrea7:Thanks Buddy, You dont have to believe. I just hope it isnt true, but from my researches and I have done many researches it happens to be the only story that has made perfect sense. Now, I can factor in 'the reason people go mad' to my the story of creation. |

MrPRevailer:the same bible was written by somebody and you and i were not there when the events recorded in it took place neither did our ancestors. we are just living by faith. |
Re: What Happens After Death? (Christian POV) by Nobody: 5:13pm On Dec 28, 2016 |
MrPRevailer: I truly didn't understand. Apparently, there is another punishment site called lake fire that is not hellfire. Please explain. |
Re: What Happens After Death? (Christian POV) by Wilgrea7(m): 5:14pm On Dec 28, 2016 |
Immorttal: the eternal torment doctrine does not seem compatible with either a loving or a just God.. its hard to imagine a God who told you to love your enemies and forgive those who hurt you to then turn around and roast you for all eternity for any mistake no matter how little it is.... i say this proudly and with evidence that what happens in the afterlife and the nature of judgement is still a mystery to us humans... like i said in my most recent post here, we just believe... we don't know... the two are not the same.... 2 Likes |

pcei: luke 12:47-48 This is not talking about purgatory but the level of punishment that will be given to sinners. (unbelievers and believers) 1cor 3:14-15 This is talking about the Judgement of the saints; the rewards that shall be given to them based on their qualification. E.g. If a saint did a good work but in complaining and murmuring, the fire will/might burn that work to ashes. And the works that passed the test will become an eternal reward to the believer. 2Tim 1:16-18; The mercy of the Lord is for believers who have overcome (after the RAPTURE). In the rewards of the righteous there will be mercy because they have overcome. Read also Hebrews 8:12. 1john 5:16-17: Please read 1 Corinthians 6:9 'Know you not that the UNRIGHTEOUS WILL NOT INHERIT the kingdom of God'. 1John 3:8 He that COMMITETH sin is of the devil'. Rev 21:8 "But the FEARFUL, AND UNBELIEVING........AND WHOSOEVER MAKETH A LIE shall have their part in the lake of Fire. There is no purgatory nor in the Bible is it explained. The verses u provided give no concrete explanation is such. To present these as bible evidences is like saying you're trying to walk on Water. |

wilsonreuben: Read Revelation 20:11-15. If you read it then you might just understand. It's one of the many scriptures to show that Hellfire and The Lake of Fire are 2 seperate places/things. |

MrPRevailer: This fabricated tale was told you by liars for jesus. Now, those imaginary folks you claimed are in hell, are no longer material beings (now spirits, according to your Bible). Question to you - how can physical humans perceive the cries of spirits? |
Re: What Happens After Death? (Christian POV) by Nobody: 6:38pm On Dec 28, 2016 |
Every human has a spirit, soul and body. The body is the material part you can see, feel and touch, while the spirit and soul are not physical but lives inside the body and it looks exactly like the body after death. The body can die but the spirit and soul can never die(i.e. Lives forever) . Once the body dies, it goes to the ground till the day of Resurrection while the spirit and soul ascends to heaven or descend to hell to await the Resurrection of the body on the Resurrection day . The Saints go to heaven to live with God while the sinners and unbelievers go to hell of eternal torment. On the day of Resurrection at the second coming of Jesus, the sea and land will give up the bodies of the dead and heaven and hell also will give up the spirit and soul and will become United once again with the body and after this, everyone will stand before the judgement seat of Christ and Christ will tell everyone the reason for their eternal destination and then after the Saints will return back to heaven in body soul and spirit, likewise the sinners also in hell. |

MrPRevailer:Pls there z an incident that happened of which I am a living witness. It goes these ways: A woman's husband got stabbed in the stomach and he died, but when the wife that was pregnant as at the time of the incident delivered to her child, lo and behold, the child comes up to be a female with a scar of the stab wound exactly as the dead father, and the child hv grown up and z nw a mother. Another one z that a young boy was hit by a motorcycle on the forehead while playing football and he died instantly, but when the mother got pregnant and delivered to her child, d child turns to be a female with a scar of the wound that her dead brother sustained during the accident, the girl z nw in sec school, There z another case that happens, for example if a woman have incessantly lost children prematurely, they usually cut the child's body parts like the finger or toe during burial so that the child will not die again prematurely in his/her next world, and incidentally it do work, but the child will then be born with the healed wound of the cut. I hv asked a Jehovah's Witness about it but his answer was not suitable to me, he said that it was the devil that z tricking the scenario, but the people involved don't behave extra ordinary, they are not possessed, they are obedient and responsible and they are Christians. Ayam not understanding. My little mind can't decipher all these mysteries, I need more illumination. 1 Like |

ajanma2: You may have to look beyond the bible for more detailed information about the afterlife. Information to earth about the other side did not cease after the bible was written. Yes there is an afterlife and there is life after death. Due to recent advancements in medical technologies, healthcare professionals have been able to resuscitate otherwise clinically dead people out for a few minutes or hours by restoring their hearts to beat again. In many cases, these people came back with stories to tell about what happened and where they were during those few earth minutes when they were clinically dead. They often first report leaving or floating away from their bodies and observing what's going on around them. They mention that the peace and quiet they experience in this state is incredible. Next they pass through a dark tunnel with a bright shiny light at its end (this tunnel is said to be the connection between earth and the afterlife and is the same tunnel souls returning to earth pass through also) and at the end of this tunnel they find themselves in this incredibly beautiful place, better than any place on earth, and report feeling immense unconditional love, peace and joy. Many report meeting with the souls of deceased relatives, family members, friends etc. and a spirit guide (called guardian angel in Christianity) and going through what is called a life review where they watch their entire lifetime played from birth to the point of death. They are surprised to find out that the goal or points looked out for by the spirit guide(s) is how loving they had been on earth or acts of love performed during their earthly times. They realize that the goal of life is to love or to learn to love and the concept of love is an all-encompassing quality that includes peace, joy, harmony, purity, charity, perseverance etc. They report wanting to remain behind due to the immense incredible love they feel there but are told they have to return to earth as their time is not yet complete. After this encounter they are sent back to their bodies on earth and their lives are changed forever. They return to earth with a clear purpose of what life on earth is really all about and the true purpose of our existence on earth. They no longer fear death and eagerly look forward to dying. This phenomenon is often referred to as near death experiences and it has changed the lives of so many people who are touched/affected by them. Note that, in addition to meeting deceased relatives, friends, family members etc., these people may initially be met with the souls of religious figures depending on their religious affiliation on earth. A Buddhist may report meeting the soul of a Buddhist god/saint, Muslims may report meeting Mohammed and Christians may report meeting the soul of Jesus Christ, Virgin Mary etc. Understand that this is done as a way to welcome them and ease the crossing over phase for them as many people die carrying with them different beliefs or fears about the afterlife or no expectations to survive at all after death. One thing uniquely reported by everyone is the lack of judgment whatsoever felt on the other side and for Christians, the biblical judgment expected instead turned out to be a loving life review with a spirit guide or soul of higher spiritual consciousness who is more like a big brother compared to the image of an angry vengeful God sitting on a throne commanding people to 'hell' or 'heaven' they get from the bible. So yes, there is life after death and there is a true/deeper meaning to life than we think. |

ThinkSmarter: These are unique instances of reincarnation or the cycle of death and life many souls go through on earth under the veil of forgetfulness that makes us forget for a while any prior existence so as to focus on each current lifetime and its growth/lessons. |
Re: What Happens After Death? (Christian POV) by bigfrancis21: 9:16pm On Dec 28, 2016 |
Bosun13: This is where Christianity gets it all wrong. They think that their religion is the best and the only 'way' to the afterlife and that all non-Christians are all going to some perceived 'hell'. Indeed! And some of them DO actually believe that. |
Re: What Happens After Death? (Christian POV) by musicwriter(m): 9:32pm On Dec 28, 2016 |
ajanma2: First of all, there's nothing like death, so this question is unnecessary. Where were you before you was born? Were you dead? You have always been alive, but not as a human being. |
