Re: The Scriptures Are Subjective

I would like to share my perspective on death right here if I may...

We see death as some horrible injustice that God has permitted on the human race, but that is not at all how it should be viewed. It is just as much the will of God for us to die as it is to be born. I have a sister in law with stage 4 cancer that loves God and has been born again practically all her life. (she is 57). I try to reassure family that does not understand why God is so "unfair", that it is Gods will for ALL of us to die in the appointed time. If we dont understand that, we are not understanding the point of the purpose of the resurrection of Jesus. We were never meant to be here on earth forever, but this life is actually a "birthing room" for the afterlife. We must be looking forward to our eternal reward of putting off this wretched, sinful, fallen,failing body to redeem it for an uncorruptible one. I am actually excited about my new resurrected body. And trust me, we(some of us) will be trading it in sooner than we realize!
