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.

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 ...

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?

Lock Him up with the Bible & the Books

"Fling him into his office. Tear the 'Office' sign from the door and nail on the sign, 'Study.' Take him off the mailing list. Lock him up with his books and his typewriter and his Bible. Slam him down on his knees before texts and broken hearts and the flock of lives of a superficial flock and a holy God.  Force him to be the one man in our surfeited communities who knows about God. Throw him into the ring to box with God until he learns how short his arms are. Engage him to wrestle with God all the night through. And let him come out only when he's bruised and beaten into being a blessing.  Shut his mouth forever spouting remarks, and stop his tongue forever tripping lightly over every nonessential. Require him to have something to say before he dares break the silence. Bend his knees in the lonesome valley.  Burn his eyes with weary study. Wreck his emotional poise with worry for God. And make him exchange his pious stance for a humble walk with God a...
