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
Oliver is someone who denied the truth to himself for months. He was gay and he had finally accepted it. He told his parents, hoping that they’d accept him but unfortunately it was the complete opposite. They thought there was something wrong with him and decided he needed to go to conversion therapy. Conversion therapy is something that thousands of people in the LGBT community go through every ear. Statistics show that about one in three LGBT people have been subjected to some form of conversion therapy (#BornPerfect: The Campaign to End Conversion Therapy, 2014). Conversion therapy is a psychological treatment whose purpose is to change a person’s sexual orientation to heterosexual. It needs to be banned because it doesn’t work, therapists
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.
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.
Dear friends; to anyone whom it may affect, you should all know that I am dead.
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.
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.
What is Christianity and why has it been able to develop into a continuously growing and evolving religion?
The following essay will evaluate the importance of the journey that takes place from Systematic to Practical theology; this view will be explored through Ronelle Sonnenberg’s research done regarding ‘being together’ in a youth setting. This essay will first build on the basis of Practical Theology; furthermore addressing the importance of the community aspect within a youth setting; this will lead to the process that takes place between a Systematic stance, leading to a Practical theological stance.
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.
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
Passion is your fuel. It motivates you to do something. It propels you up the mountain of your dreams and goals. Have a passion for life, for people, for animals, for your causes and your convictions, and you will be nearly unstoppable. Be a role model for those who have great needs and can't do
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.
a. According Davies, G. (2004), religious education in school seeks to enable pupils to develop a knowledge and understanding of religious beliefs and practices.
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.
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.
