Do you believe?

6 After Solomon observed that the living know that they will die, he wrote: “As for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.” He then enlarged on that basic truth by saying that the dead can neither love nor hate and that “there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in [the grave].” (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10) Similarly, Psalm 146:4 says that when a man dies, “his  thoughts do perish.” We are mortal and do not survive the death of our body. The life we enjoy is like the flame of a candle. When the flame is put out, it does not go anywhere. It is simply gone.

How about you relax and stop preaching to this thread and don't you DARE say that I do not support the bible. You don't know me! What I do not support is the ignorance of yourself preaching bible verses because you disagree. Fine, if you don't believe that is fine and those are your own belief's. Stay out of the thread if you are going to continue to preach to us or what ever it is you are doing. If you don't like what you are reading, then buh-bye!. No need to bash it. Where I come from christians form a unity & are not against each other. So you have a blessed day and may the angels watch over you because they were once in this life time in physical form.  lol

So you dont agree with bible scripture and yet you say you preach to an audience in church?What are you reading?See Jane run?

You put up a topic is there life after death.I answered you based on bible scripture.Seriously for 1 to say they disagree with Eccl 9:5 and then say they recite bible in church.....get a grip!!

[hitch0403]

BTW...those bible scriptures i put up DONT agree with what you believe.

Get it right!!

PS:Get a REAL bible study too!!

[kimber62372]

I have to laugh (hahaha) ...and I never said I preach to an audience. I am a parishioner and I will leave you with this:

Matthew 10:28 - And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

John 11:25 - Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.

PS...Dear Lord, Please forgive the ignorance of some people, for they know not in what they preach and I sense anger from within. Guide them in the right direction and lead them into a beautiful path of righteousness. Thank you Lord!

I will pray for your soul!

Good day to you Sir or Madam (Don't know your sex, sorry!)

When you said you recite the whatever i thought you meant you got up and read blah blah.Do you feel you will get a hearing repeating it over and over as Jesus said MANY would think?

I was brought up a catholic.I can remember the mass being said in Latin.They should put it back in Latin.I still had NO idea what the hec they say in english.

Be my guest to worship a god that would torment his creation in a literal fiery hell.

Jehovah is the TRUE God and a God of love.

Worship Mary in your religeon.Absolutely a joke.Bible doesnt support that.

Bow down to concrete dead slabs.Idols!!Bible supports God is a spirit NOT a dead piece of wood or stone.

Ill stop there.You are part of Babylon the GREAT.Find your discernment to understand what that means.And with your very words in a post you said you dont support Eccl 9:5.So you dont support bible if you think theres an afterlife...yet you write scriptures!!!

LOL...BTW i am a man

[hitch0403]

Try to also learn God has a name.How close can you be to someone if you dont know their name?

You were worried about my sex...try worrying about using Gods name too.

Lemme help

KJV Psalms 83:18

You can look it up!!

[dreamyxo]

Yes.  I believe in reincarnation.  I believe I have been here many times and have had many lives.

Be my guest to worship a god that would torment his creation in a literal fiery hell.

God would not be a just god if He did not punish the evil.

"Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord." Roman 12:19

[JediJohnnie]

I'm not really sure of the actual question, but if it's do I believe in ghosts or somesuch, I believe the spirits of the departed go either to their reward in Heaven or punishment in Hell. I don't think they cavort with the living.

[gaby_ro_2004]

So many comments  and I forgot the question but I didn't believe for looong time.10yrs ago (and I don't know why me) they(my dead neighbors)started to come into my dreams asking me to tell their family that they are ok and what to do with their clothes ,where the clothes are located...They said they call it visitation. Last summer my grandmother came to me because she wanted to see her house and I was the only one who had the KEY(I never had the key of her house when she was alive).She said she was happy,she talks to my grandfather but they can't see each other.When I woke up I realized that she didn't talk about her house key and that's why all these souls come to me without asking.I want to stop but I do not how.The last two were mean and they didn't talk to me.So I believe something is there....

[jiuchan]

Honestly, I believe in that. I also believe in reincarnation. =)

I, too, have had an unexplained experience.  The day I found out I was pregnant with my daughter (30 years ago), my 17 year old cousin (Jenny) got killed in a car accident.  A year or so later, my aunt made my daughter a doll using Jenny's clothes, hair ribbons, etc.  I was letting my daughter play with the doll one day when I overheard her talking to the doll.  She was calling the doll "Jenny".  My daughter never knew my cousin, Jenny nor did we know anyone else named Jenny.

I believe in life after death, I don't believe in reincarnation though.

Quote from Hitch0403.......
The bible supports the dead are conscience of NOTHING!!God told Adam he would go back to dust at death,non-existence.Jesus said Lazarus was sleeping before he resurrected him.Lazarus spoke of NO heavenly bliss or hell when Jesus brought him back to life.


I'm a bit confused by your confusion! First you say Jesus said Lazarus was sleeping, but then you say Lazarus spoke of no heavenly bliss when Jesus bought him back to life!!

[hitch0403]

JJ...you dont think non-existence is punishment enuff?

Obviously you dont.So then worship a god that is a sadist and must create a literal hell.That certainly isnt a GOD of love as bible says he is.Its a ploy used by satan to make Jehovah look that way.Remembersatan is the father of the lie and he blinds many as he is doing in your case now.
