If A Man Die, Can He Live Again?

[goodlife]

It is painful to watch a loved one suffer and die. We naturally grieve such a loss.

It is comforting to know, however, that our Creator, understands our grief. More than that, he longs to use his almighty power to restore life to the dead. Notice the hope conveyed in the words of Job, recorded at Job 14:14-15,says
If a man dies, can he live again?
I will wait all the days of my compulsory service
Until my relief comes.
15 You will call, and I will answer you.
You will long for the work of your hands.

goodlife If A Man Die, Can He Live Again?
{ LOCUST S }can you answer this question for me please on the subject of living again it is said --Jesus to the the thief who was executed with Jesus-- Jesus said you will be with me in paradise--- paradise is a word we use for life-- so where would he go to heaven or even life upon this earth which would be more understandable because paradise is word we use for life upon this earth please explain
IN JOHN 5 .28 REVELATION .20 .13
IN revelation 20 .13 is talking about this sea graves up the dead in it and the dead and the graves gave up the dead in them and they were judged individually according to the deeds {But} but I find a problem here how can they be in the Grave if we understand they are in heaven because we've been told by our church that every good person goes to heaven so this is a bit of a contradiction is it not ??? do you have an answer ???
I wait for your reply please
it doesn't seem to be many Christian like people on this network

A bit of prophecy coming true.
The river Nile is drying up due to climate change.
Now Ethiopia is about to flood the lake behind their new dam.
Downstream, Sudan and Egypt are worried about this, and have just ended a meeting with Ethiopia to dissuade them, but it looks like it going ahead.
With the latest plague of locusts, the worst in over seventy years, the shortage of irrigation will contribute to even more malnutrition, disease, and then conflict.
Isaiah 19:4

Religion brings such joy.

[Theland]

As an expert on religion, that is your judgement call.
Personally, I have never found much joy in religion.

[naomi24]

//Personally, I have never found much joy in religion. //

And it shows.

[Theland]

You seem to find joy in having the last word.
And it shows.

[Atheist]

Theland; you and Naomi are about equal in the having the last word stakes.

[douglas9401]

Amen.

[Theland]

From now on she can win.

[Atheist]

Thank you, Theland. Naomi, I hope you heard that. You can both chill out for the rest of the evening (apart from your other interests.) N; you could always argue with me if you want, but I'm not very good at maintaining a prolonged argument - I could manage a fifteen minute one, but only by simply gainsaying your every statement. Best wishes.

[naomi24]

That last word thing is the last resort of the floundering on AB, Theland. It's the coward's way out. ;o)

[Peter Pedant]

if it flounders can it still be true
all ask
KJV is
14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.

which is significantly different

[Theland]

I don't enjoy this point scoring on what should be a simple conversation.
But whatever turns you on I guess?

[andy-hughes]

Theland - As long as you have been posting on here about the origins of the universe, you have been convinced that God must be the creator, because science does not have the answer.

I would suggest that science does not have the answer, and will not have it in our lifetimes, but it will, eventually.

Here is a simple example - a bumble bee in flight.

When the laws of aerodynamics were formed, it was discovered that in the terms of the laws of aerodynamics, a bee should not be able to fly, because the ratio of its wings size in relation to its body weight were incorrect, as far as the laws stated.

So science had a problem - here is a scientific law, and here is an insect species that defies it. The bee should not be able to fly, bu clearly it does.

Eventually, science caught up with the knowledge of photography, that enabled scientist to observe a bee in flight, and understand that the aerodynamic process it used to calculate the bee's flight was incorrect.

Specifically, scientists assumed that a bees's wings are fixed like a fly's wings, and slo-mo observation showed that the bee actually rotates its wings in flight, which enables it to fly even though the laws of aerodynamics indicated that flight should be impossible.

All it took was for science to catch up with nature, and prove that science's thinking and appliance of its laws was inaccurate - and what appeared to be impossible now had a proper scientific explanation.

If you extrapolate that process, there is going to come a time when science will explain the origin of the universe - you and I will not be here to see it, but our descendents will no longer spend hours and hours of fruitless hang-wringing as you do, looking for an answer that does not exist - because one day, the answer will exist.

Then, Christians can turn their attention to fretting about something else to ponder about their 'loving God' - such as why he created this -
