It’s weird you hear all these interpretations of what happens to you when you die. The most common one is you go to heaven or hell. I remember when I had my earthly body doing the things I love to do best which was cooking and spending time with my kids and I had so many grandchildren. Oh, and my beloved husband, I remember when he would sit down at the piano in the house and the family would just stand around and sing to their hearts content. “Why, why did I have to be taken from what made me whole?” I know that you can’t live forever, but I was taken too soon to only return to this earth as an object without the sense of smell, taste and touch. I hate you Cancer. You know one thing I never got to do when was in my human form was travel and sight see God’s creation called earth. Now I am constantly traveling and who would have ever thought that when it was time for my granddaughter, Melissa to choose her frames that she would choose me. I was a pair of brown frames with medium square eyes and on my arms it said Prada. I remember when she came into Lens Crafters …show more content…
We met at an open lounge night back in 1940. I got up to sing and I was singing acapella then next thing I know I heard music and I opened my eyes to turn around and there he was. I was blown away by his talent and his looks. We were like the dynamic duo. He is tall about 5”9 and a slender build, dark skin and smart. We could go anywhere and he just fits in. That summer was the greatest summer of my life because he was a part of it. He left to go into the army and I wrote him every day for a year. Then he showed up at my church and proposed to me and why wouldn’t I say yes to the love of my life. We were married for 40 years and he was a provider. My children and I never had to want for anything. He pays the bills and bought the food, did I tell you he can cook. How many men do you know that can cook? I was truly blessed to have that man as my
Without strong beliefs in this world, nothing would push most of us to do the thing we love. In the book “the crucible”, Reverend Hale says to Elizabeth Proctor: “No principle, however glorious, is worth dying for.” He argues that it is better to give a false confession than to die for a principle of belief. This statement is wrong for many reasons. Many people have sacrificed themselves for their beliefs, and it has changed the way man people live and think in our everyday society. This has been seen with Martin Luther King Jr and Rosa Parks, Policemen And Fire Fighters, and the founding fathers. I will explain in my next paragraph how Martin Luther king Jr and Rosa Parks movement changed our lives.
What is Christianity and why has it been able to develop into a continuously growing and evolving religion?
INDTRODUCTION “Sex and Religion”? Those two don’t really go hand in hand,” commented a freshman student from UF. Like this student, numerous people around the world believe this misconception to be true. Whether people argue for or against the importance of gender in religion, more than just what goes on in the bedroom has been heating up lately. Many debates have sparked due to the negative connotation associated with sex when confronted about its position in religious cultures.
Dear friends; to anyone whom it may affect, you should all know that I am dead.
A good life can be defined with continuous happiness, various accomplishments, and everlasting prosperity. The eternal desire for a good life has influenced philosophers and their reasoning throughout the years. Many have followed ancient religions; while others followed the modern belief of listening to your heart and therefore one’s self. Pascal, Luther, and Augustine are some of the philosophers who followed religion, and believed it to be the ultimate way of achieving a good life. Other preachers like Rousseau and Nietzsche believed in following one’s heart and conscious in order to achieve the desired goal. Rousseau presented the idea that humans are born good and society is what actually shapes humans into good or bad people. Furthermore, he expands on the subject of one’s self and the inward view rather than the outward view. With this, a modern and innovative perspective on the good life was developed as reason cannot only be used on an everyday basis, but can also present a more attainable way of achieving a good for all members of society.
What happens when someone dies? Death can be looked at as personal extinction, transformation to a higher state, reincarnation, or departure to the “other” side. I believe that when someones dies, they either go to heaven of hell. Without asking the Lord and Savior into your heart you will go to hell. The Bible says, “ "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16). I believe this because growing up I always went to church with my grandparents and that is what they have brought me up to believe
Death is the one great certainty in life. Some of us will die in ways out of our control, and most of us will be unaware of the moment of death itself. Still, death and dying well can be approached in a healthy way. Understanding that people differ in how they think about death and dying, and respecting those differences, can promote a peaceful death and a healthy manner of dying.
The afterlife is something that no person can directly explain. Nobody can die and come back to tell us what it is truly like. The afterlife is forever an unknown mystery with many theories about what happens to us once we die. In The Egg, Andy Weir shows us what the afterlife may be like, that it is important to gain knowledge throughout each life in order to suggest that we are all reincarnated and are evolved into gods by living through each person.
I believe that when you die there are three possibilities of what will happen to you. The first one is that when you die you go to heaven. The second one is that when you die you go to hell. The third one is you will be stuck in between these two for eternity. Some people believe that the place in the middle is called purgatory and some believe they are different places.
There are many beliefs on what happens to a person at death. Once again, these beliefs come from cultural and religious upbringing. To someone who does not believe in a higher being, when a person dies the body decomposes in the ground with no regards to an afterlife. Christians believe that when a person dies, they go to Heaven or Hell. Where we go is based on our actions on earth and if we acknowledged God as our Savior, never denying Him. Another way to get to Heaven is by accepting God as your Savior in your heart on judgment day.
Death frightens us. Therefore, acknowledging one’s wish to willingly end his or her life is difficult for the average person to understand. Though we are aware that our days are finite, we live with the false hope that technology may advance by the time we reach the end of our lives to substantially extend them. We live with the delusion of an eternal existence. However, not everyone cringes upon the thought of death. Many elderly people, near death, choose to commit suicide, willingly take one’s own lives, because it is simply accelerating the inevitable. Suicide has a poor social stigma, but it is not always an attempt to “take the easy way out” as many people regard it. It can simply be the decision to end life on a high note. We can simultaneously
Salvation – Who Gets It? Three summers ago, I attended a Christian, theological debate camp with other youth from Arkansas. While the entire week was a wonderful learning experience, the actual debate and discussion in and among the various small groups I was a part of was frustrating. The debate topic was salvation, which was fascinating, yet touchy to approach because it is literally a life-and-death matter. Although each of the campers attended similar debate seminars and theology plenaries, it was clear that many of the students just did not get it.
The script above is the literal meaning of heaven in all of its entirety. A place where all the good little boys and girls go after life, living out eternity dancing across stratocumulus clouds and allowing droplets of water to tickle their toes, the scent of primrose and lilies overpowering the astounding old person smell wafting about every edge and angle. It’s a place chock full of grey haired, bleary eyed nuns, chubby, rosy cheeked tots, and everyone of those folks who share those annoying Jesus chain mails. In a literal sense, it’s a place of peace to rest after bearing the pains of mortality.
What is going to happen to us when we will die? Some people never considered what it could happen to them after life. For many people, death is a redoubtable event because they do not know what to expect after their death. However, other persons, such as religious people are conscious of what to expect after their death because of their beliefs. Each religion has different ideas and different ways of looking life. Death, therefore, is viewed by different religions in many ways. Although, different religions have a distinct conception of death, they all have something in common: they all give hope to people. Among all different religions in the world, four of the most common ones - Catholic, Jewish, Islamic, and Hindu- view death in different ways.
