The Creator Exists!
What Happens at Death?
Romans chapter 5 verse 12:- 12 That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned.
Death is not a subject that many people like to talk about, but all of us are heading in that direction, we cannot avoid it. So this page is going to explore what death really is? And is it the end of everything and everyone? So lets start by looking at what different cultures and religions believe, because there are a multitude of strongly held ideas on what happens when we die throughout the World we live in and it's religions. Every single one of these religions would say that their beliefs are the truth, but there can only be ONE true religion, so all the rest must be false! Only one book gives us believable answers to what happens when we die, and that book is the Holy Bible, so we will compare each religion against the Bibles standard:
So Many Religions?
The Muslin faith: (Islam) believes in the resurrection to heavenly life when they die, where just as it is practised in life, and just as the wife walks behind her husband and wears clothing that covers from head to foot and often even the face with only the eyes visible, the woman (wife) is subservient to her husband and must obey him completely when they are resurrected to heaven. This subserviency of the wife is not practised by all Muslims, but only those who keep shariah law. (The teachings of Islam are very far removed from the teachings of the Holy Bible and the thoughts of the true God!) The scripture below clearly shows that the woman is meant to be a complement or (Partner) of the man, and a helper not a servant or slave!
Genesis chapter 2 verse 18:- 18 Then Jehovah God said: “It is not good for the man to continue to be alone. I am going to make a helper for him, as a complement of him.”
Only Jehovah can Provide Peace!
The Buddhist faith: The teaching of Buddha that life is permeated with suffering caused by desire, that suffering ceases when desire ceases, and that enlightenment obtained through right conduct and wisdom and meditation releases one from desire and suffering and rebirth. the object of removing desire completely will they believe lead to Nirvana, Any place of complete bliss and delight and peace. (Again not supported by the Bible!)
Hinduism: (Hinduism and Buddhism) the beatitude that transcends the cycle of reincarnation; characterised by the extinction of desire and suffering and individual consciousness. Both Buddhist and Hindu faiths believe in reincarnation. (But the Hindu faith is riddled with Pagan multiple God's and ideas!)
Shinto: The ancient indigenous religion of Japan lacking formal dogma; characterised by a veneration of nature spirits and of ancestors. Shinto does not focus on specific beliefs about heaven or hell. The dead are believed to become kami (spirits in nature) and remain close to the living. (The Holy Bible does not support these teachings).
Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 5:- 5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten.
Lies and Untruths!
Voodoo: Voodoo followers believe in a supreme creator god, Bondye, but do not believe this god directly interferes in human affairs. Instead, they believe in lesser spirits called lwa (or vodúns in West Africa) who act as intermediaries, each with a specific domain. Practise's include performing rituals and making offerings to seek favours, protection, and to maintain a connection with the spirit world, which is believed to be intertwined with the physical world, this religion is also intertwined with the Catholic faith, this obscured because of the slave trade. At death they believe that a part of the soul returns to the supreme God (Bondye), other parts become ancestors, and some can haunt the living. (The beliefs of Voodoo are firmly rooted in Demonism).
Evolution: What do evolutionists believe happens at death - Nothing, you are just dead and gone forever! Just to clarify, evolution is as much a religion as all the others, the only difference is those who believe in it have no hope after death! (A lost cause).
Only One True God!
Christianity: There are enumerable so called Christian religions, Pentecostal, Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, Presbyterian, and many others, all with their own idea of what is right and what is wrong in God's eyes. Almost all of them treat the "Old Testament" as being superseded by the "New Testament", and as a result they have failed to understand many of the prophesies from the Hebrew scriptures (Old Testament) which apply to today's world! Also an insistence that God is a Trinity (three God's in one), this makes these religions Pagan in the true God's eyes, and as a consequence he does not recognise them. The word "Trinity" does not even appear in the Holy Bible, and ALL the scriptures in both the "Old Testament" and the "New Testament" clearly shows that the True God is ONE Jehovah which translates as (He who causes to become) the one and only creator, not a Trinity! The Holy Bible teaches a Resurrection of the dead some (a relatively small number) to heavenly life, and the rest of the faithful to a resurrection to life on the Earth forever.
