The Money Train called death.

The idea of dying is at times nerve racking and even a little troublesome to most. I myself have no issue, death is embraced as a way to wait for the next outcome to take place.  For the living know that they will die but the dead know nothing;they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished;never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun.  Powerful scripture is it not? The idea that dying involves some incredible restoration or rescue to another plain is somewhat alarming to me.

I listened to the skeptics about the soul been transferred to another realm and really found it a little disturbing when scripture usage never played a role in their debate. I do believe people do die and do take the journey to another realm, its practical to use scripture in making that decision and to analyse the entire bible on a subject that is so overwhelmed with ideas and motivation to make people do certain acts for the possibility of living among the heavens.

So the work performed by those who believe they will visit a spiritual realm for their deeds or their works I say this from the book that helps you overcome certain obstacles of delusion.Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. Psalms another great book of song and poetry helps people smooth over the final outcome caused by death. The realm of the dead very specific wording and a very specific location is addressed here.

"Ah its okay to believe in another place" people say this with little reasoning to justify the outcome, I say learn the outcome before putting yourself in a position that is filled with agendas and nothing more.
Agendas you say? The agenda of life after death dates back to a time where the after world was popular for all those in high positions of leadership, it was reserved for them by various beliefs conjured up in ancient manuscripts excavated by archaeologists of today. So when we die we actually no longer hare any part to play under the sun as told by the new international version bible that is one of the most used bibles today,

So whats the big fuss?  Is the money gathering religions creating a good soul and a bad soul for all of us to label and to agree with them on the outcome of everyone currently living on Earth?
Serious question to pose upon readers, especially when the intellectual ones make claim of a life after death for everyone who ceases to exist. Why should we take death to heart or reflect on it deeply?
Lets reason on that very question from the bible itself. I know for many including myself we find it hard to accept death,it has a end effect that as humans seems unconscionable at right or wrong it is a human impulse to want to live longer.

God is the one who put thinking of eternity as a way of life in all our minds an hearts, he installed this due to the original purpose we all were once suppose to enjoy.  He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Instilled in all of us is the desire to live, not to die we see this in the way we try to live another year or more based on experimental drugs, a bypass, another organ transplant  a variety of anxiety plays into the fear of death. Ecclesiastes 3;11 of the new international version spills the beans on why we want to live and not to reach the outcome that faces all of us.

So its only fair to examine the question of the millennium, should we  believe that there is life after death? We die based on the bibles account of two humans, the first pair to exist according to scripture, how long ago this was is not certain yet it tells of a event that shaped the very existence of man forever. The bible speaks of death as a state of returning to the ground, it clearly implies that the result is permanent and overall nothing to fear or nothing to get excited about.

Here is the passage to help all of us understand the word sinner is not limited to a behavior trait in people but is a condition we all genetically carry. Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned. Romans 5;12 from the new international version clearly tells all of us what happens with the word sin.

It is not some terrible word to throw at certain people because all of us inherit sin not just a set few.
A vitiated state of human nature in which the self is estranged from God  The word sin carries many meanings yet this one here vitiated gives us the justification we need from the actions of the first man and woman portrayed in the bible. vitiate means to make faulty or impair progress so to speak. So we went from perfect to faulty and have carried faults ever since.

The concept that we all go to heaven or hell is not even practical to teach, the very act of death is seen clearly as a position where we will never harm or help others ever again. Agnostics and even atheists firmly believe the concept of death as permanent and nothing else to look forward to. The statement is true to its meaning, we die and that is it, dust we return to as described by scripture.

God himself addressed Adam with his demise, he informed him what would take place for him after simply disobeying one requirement, that's right one requirement. He said...By the sweat of your brow
 you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are   and to dust you will return.” Genesis 3;19 NIV bible. Adam ceased to exist, he functioned no more as a person, his traits and attributes became history, no further involvement would take place for his soul.

So why the hype over where we go and what payment will help us get there? Yes religion has placed a payment scale on your death, they have created a death merit system so to speak through those who instruct and teach all of us who follow organised religion. Hard ball knows this to be extortion, it is a form of fear extortion to make a few wealthy and a few poor. I will explain this falsehood in my next article to help people make their own decisions based on scripture, not opinions.
