When we die, do we remember people or events? Bible Questions with Michael Pearl - Episode 075

[Jbugsmomma]

I just recently discovered your channel. Im loving it too! You see, I have medical conditions that prevent me from being able to go to church right now. I have been searching for pastors and sermons that are solid Bible based. I have fell in love with your teachings, the way you answer questions and have been kinda of been binge watching your videos. Just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do for the Lord and sharing it with us! This is one way I can still listen, learn and engage in the gospel !

And there is also the parable of King David having the affair, his son dying, and David repented, rejoiced, and said "Someday I will go to him".. so I think we will know those in Heaven that have passed before us.. (I don't remember the exact scripture..)

[garymcmullin]

I still do not know anything more about this subject than I did prior to watching the video. How can we take all our thought and memories into heaven? I mean we are enmity against God in the natural man and that means we KNOW sin. Imagine everyone in heaven retaining all the exact memories of life, the wrongs you did to others the wrongs they did to you, possessing the knowledge of sin. How can you be happy if you are aware that some you loved are tormenting in hell? How can that be a workable combination for a Heavenly existence? I have heard other teachers insist that we endure a mind change, selective deletion of memory. I have never read or heard Biblical evidence as to exactly what changes will happen to the mind. We become a spiritual body in death then a glorified body at the resurrection. What changes are going to be made to the mind are to me unknown. And I got to tell ya that I fret over the possibility that the hurts of this life will be deleted, because I want and wait to have Christ heal those and for me to make the real connection that the wrong was righted. In this life, right now, I want to believe that I will see all the suffering made right and to not have that wonderful, fulfilling experience will be a huge let down...if that is the way it is to go. I live today on my HOPE....the hope of seeing all that misery, all my sacrifices come to good. I probably would do well to remember that I am the clay, the creation and not the Creator, but I am so hung up on the fear that we experience altered minds.

The Bible says, God will wipe away all tears and sadness...how can it be Heaven if we remember these things or people who didn't get to heaven?

Was not a parable.


Lazarus was named. Ppl aren't named in Jesus parable

[kimkrisrich]

what I dont understand is why do people that have died and came back to life, say that their relatives greet them in heaven if it says that they are still asleep and it says that theres no remembrance.

[Nycuban]

The bible also says we are given a new name and new body a holy body so I dont think we will remember this life on hearth because remembering this life would give us grief and sorrow and there is no pain or sorrow in heaven.

I’ve often wondered if our loved ones whether in heaven or hell think about us? Like the rich man thinking in hell. The Bible talks about a “worm” that never dies. Is that our conscience? If more folks could see a glimpse of hell...they may perhaps repent, and believe. But I found it interesting that Abraham said even the raising of the dead won’t change folks hearts. We have the gospel today and even bibles! Sodom and Gomorrah didn’t have bibles but we do. So ultimately it’s up to the individual where they want to spend eternity. Further study of scripture reveals living the Christian life is serious business and being “born again.” I’m afraid many Folks who think their name is written in the lambs book of life are going to be surprised and weeping with the rich man. Why? Their attitude towards sin...they weren’t born again. I think many folks see the gentle Jesus but not the Jesus of The Revelation. God is no grandfather who over looks wrong and turns a blind eye. For example many people in the church are living together now...openly and they aren’t challenged. It’s explained away. Well...one day it won’t be explained away. And of course people want to argue with you. Boy, no fear of the Lord today. Anyway...thanks for letting me ramble on this thing. I will continue to make sure I’m in the faith, denying myself, picking up the cross daily! And following Christ. Not my will but your will. That’s a great way to live with a clear conscience.

You are entitled to your opinion/views. And so am I. And then there is what the bible says. Is the bible trying to confuse us? Or is our understanding/interpretation of the bible skewed? Just wondering...

[franferris]

Wha language will be spoken in Heaven, how will we communicate?

[wildjungle]

Yes, everything is intact. In Ezekiel chapter 44, the zadok. That's God's elect, are allowed to go to other side of the gulf to deal with their spirtualty dead family. They will recognize each other, and communicate. Theirs two sides of the gulf, one side paradise and hell is the other side. If someone was mentally challenged in the flesh, their normal in their spiritual body. Theirs no hang up. Corinthians. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. When person dies in the flesh, Jesus decides what side of the gulf they go to, documentation, Luke chapter 16, Lazarus and Richman analogy.

Not sure of this guy's certification or expertise.I personally only listed to Doctrine level

[timothyfarrand]

Matthew 13:34-35

Ecclesiastes 9:5-6

[danielniesing]

I do appreciate Michael Pearls teaching. But he didn't answer the question. I don't think we should come to the conclusion he came to based on the experience of those in hell. It's hell! Always stay with what the bible is clear about and stay away from presumption. There is nothing wrong with saying, "I don't know". Like he said, "we now see through a glass darkly". No one knows all the answers. That's okay. We know the One who does and we trust Him.

[arthurmoseley]

Is it ok to be created for a Christian after death .

[msudlp]

@buddyfisher1 that wasn't Samuel that the witch contacted.

[ralphsanchico]

@Live2win100: This is not an attempt to convince you of anything, since you have already made up you mind, but rather to address your comment: My condolences to your mother, however, you fail to understand that we are made up of 3 properties: Flesh, soul and spirit. While we are on this earth, we will be in the flesh subjected to all the ills that confront that flesh, However our spirit being, which is the REAL us if u will, is NOT subject to disease, physically that is, but its subject to whatever spiritual influence we decide to be led by willingly or not. So if you choose to live apart from your creator, then sadly your spirit and soul will be subjected and judged accordingly and eternally. If the opposite happens, then it lives Redeemed with it's creator, which it longed for from the day you were born. You may think that Christians are ignorant because they dont asked these questions you proposed. Thats because we already know and accepted the answer when we were redeemed. But foolishness and folly lives within people who people who reject the true answers to those questions you asked!

This guy babbles, doesn’t make any sense, just rambles on and on.
