Life after Death?

  “National Geographic: Moment of Death”
The “National Geographic: Moment of Death” documentary is a way to explain death from the scientific perspective, or give some explanation for it.  This documentary was well done in presenting the subject on death from all different angels.  The patients and doctors spoke honestly on what they truly knew, believe, and experience.  There was enough evidence given to draw some conclusion on death.  Patients, coming near death spoke on what they saw, and you cannot just say their experience was just a hallucination.  How do you explain a situation in which a patient left his body during surgery and saw how the nurses and doctors performed the surgery?
 
This documentary showed patients in the hospitals dieing, those moments that people faced or will be facing--everyone who is once born to life will have to die.  What is interesting here is what doctors have to say about people leaving their bodies and coming back.  They know that there are too many cases when a soul leaves the body and then comes back—but can these unanswered questions on death be answered?  At the end of this movie, an elderly man shares his story.  After coming from the surgery, he was able to say how the doctor and nurses behaved during his surgery. 
 
It is important to note here, with all knowledge, technology, resource that we have now, science is still silent on what happens after death--honestly admitting that there is no scientific explanation on this subject. And this is because from the beginning it was created this way.  A human wants to give an explanation, but it's not given to him do to the way he is created.  Bible clearly teaches that God created heaven and earth, and placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to develop it--this is how human genealogy started.  

However, death is part of our life story.  Bible says that after death, person goes right to heaven to stand before a holy, righteous God.  Life that does not end when a human heart stops beating, but rather goes right to God: “And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.”  (Hebrews 9:27-28)  As much as a human would want to escape the subject on God, he can't escape the subject of death.

Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scripture

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures ,  that he was buried , that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,   and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.  Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.   Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.   Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.   For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.   But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.   Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.  (1 Corinthians 15:3)

The Last Moments of Christopher Hitchens life

Christopher Hitchens is one of the leading atheist of our times, they call it the new atheism now.  He also is the author of a book, “God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything,” that was just recently released; heavily opposing religion and any idea that God exist.  But right now Mr Hitchens is in his last stages of the esophageal cancer.  The New Your Time describes his last moments of life like this: “Some of these articles were written with the full consciousness that they might be my very last. Sobering in one way and exhilarating in another, this practice can obviously never become perfected.”  Another words, Hitchens has little time left. Smoking and drinking was something that Hitchens needed to quit, life was more important then the pleasures of these habits, not mentioning that he had a feeding tube installed since June.  He had power in articulating his worldview to others, the ideas, but were these thoughts the reality of our world?

Why Job DID NOT cursed God?

http://www.skybluevaping.co.za/image/data/journal/1383-1.jpg The tone of the conversation was different when Satan appeared before God second time. Not because Satan repented or agreed with God, but because his hypothesis fell short.  Satan just destroyed Jobs wealth and his children (seven sons and three daughters) using evil men, fire, and wind arguing that this was the reason why Job served God in the first place. Job response to his lost was not a cursing God attitude but a humble worship.  “ Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return.  The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord ” (Job 1:20).    When Satan appears before God second time, God asked him the same question as he did in the first conversation,  "' Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and ...
