Re: I've got one!
i'm sorry but you people show that you are not reading your bibles or either you don't believe what you are reading.
the dead are dead and they don't know anything or don't go any place !
ecclesiates 9:5,6
5 " for the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
6 also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun."
job 14:12,14,21
12 " so man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
14 if a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will i wait, till my change come.
14 if a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will i wait, till my change come. "
job 7:9,10
9 as the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.
7:10 he shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more."
at the second coming of christ, the righteous dead are raised in the ressurection and taken to heaven with the righteous living.
1 tessalonians 4:15-17
15 for this we say unto you by the word of the lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 for the lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of god: and the dead in christ shall rise first: "
17 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the lord.
