would you be happy that you are finally going home, or would you pray to God in the name of Jesus to heal you? Me if the cancer was not that painful and it felt OK, and I had a right standing with God, i would rejoyce at the doctors clinic and when I got home.I would be happy that in a matter of weeks I will be falling asleep in my sleep hopefully and waking up in glory. I would be wrapped that I would be going home. So what would you do rejoyce or cry and get scared? At my funeral I do not want my mother and family to cry, I would want them to be happy that I have gone home after all these horrible years. At atheists funnerals there is a big difference, they are all balling like anything like they have no hope, and a Christians they are a bit upset, but more glad the person has finally gone home. Christians- do you long to go home? If I seriously diagnosed with cancer, as I came close to that in 2001 when I had surgery to remove my abnormal pre cancer cells. So anything can happen.

God does not promise another year , never alone another day. My sisters friend died in a car crash that was driven by her boyfriend in 2005, and she became a christian and gave her heart to Jesus at the Franklin Graham Festival in Melbourne in March 2005, two months before she died and went to Heaven. At her funeral my sister recieved a vision from God that she is in Heaven with little children sitting on her knee, as she loved kids. So God was letting her know she is in Heaven with him.

God doesn't give people illnesses we get ill because our bodies are imperfect. If I knew I was going to die soon then I would be at peace in the hope of a resurrection after amageddon to the meek ones who remained on the earth and written in the book of life.
My hope is earthly as I will not be part of the 144,000 ones who are or go to heaven. I would be living on earth as God originally intended and restoring it back to paradisic conditions with millions of others of God's people.
I would not rejoice at the learning of my ending of life as I respect my life and if there was treatment I could take that could work that do not break God's sacred laws on blood then I would try them.
I would be at peace as there would be little I could do but leave myself in Jehovah's hands when my soul gave out.

So if you see it as a way to "go home", why have the cells removed? Thats your ticket to paradise. If I held a gun to your head, would you pray to god to stop me, or would you see it as me doing you a favor since you and your savior were all squared up? At an athiets funerals people cry, if they don't at christian ones its because their faith has blinded them and given them a false sense of comfort. Ignorance is bliss.
Yeah, thats not the most retarded thing I've heard. Had a vision? Jesus, I just had a vision of my grandfather drinking a beer in a bar, that must mean he's ok in heaven, right? Your mind is so warped by this false sense of security that "visions" come to you and people are in heaven. I could tell you anything and claim it was sent to me by god. Now see what you've done? You've got me arguing religion with a man who will piss away half his life in a church reaching for a paradise that doesn't exist. Why not worship Amen Ra, or some Egyptian god, they've been around longer than jesus? And what about the billions of people that died BEFORE jesus? Are they all in hell? Whatever, I've alredy wasted too much time on this.

I would rejoice, cry and be scared. I long to go home but at the same time I still have so much that I need to do here before I go. Our life here is only a brief moment compared to the time that we will spend with our Lord. Only he knows the time of our return to him. I would like my family to celebrate my death. It will be a glorious day for me and I want them to celebrate with me knowing I am finally home. Scared, yes but just because I'm scared for my family and the grief that they will experience.
I really don't know how people are able to get by in life without the saving grace of Jesus Christ and the assurance that he has prepared a better place for us. God Bless see you all in Heaven.

Nothing would change.
I would pray daily as I pray now that God would use me for His will. That he work through me.
It's his time not mine.
I could die on the way home in a horrific car accident or be given three years to live. Regardless it's God's time.
The Doctor can tell you that you have three years to live and you can still be hit by a bus stepping out of the parking lot.
Nothing would change

Sounds like a judgement to me.....the way that I love Christ is separate and different from the way that I love my family and this life. Christ did not die on the cross so that I could be miserable in this life....so of course I would cry and be sad.... but it is in Him that I am given the grace and courage to carry on....and I am facing a life-threatening illness....hypthetically you just dont know how you will react until you have to.... because I am human, I have my days....good, bad, angry, fearful, hopeful.....but my heart is constant.....I h ave a peace that passes understanding.....I trust in the Lord....on days when its too big for me, I pray with friends.

I'm not sure.... I guess I'd be happy but also worried about where I'd be going...
I would cry but I dont know, i've always had this feeling that my family would be better off without me...
If I was given 3 weeks I'd be off buying tickets to see places I've dreamed of seeing, say my final words to everyone and then just wait for death to come.........

I would rejoice and I would also ask for a healing touch. I would also thank God for the wonderful time and years he has given me here on earth. He is truly a wonderous and awesome God. All the best and God bless.

you obviously havent attended an atheist funeral then ?
i have and i am being honest when i say it was the most beautiful and respectful funeral i have ever seen
led by a humanist minister the focus was on the persons life and people were laughing , smiling and yes shedding some tears
but it was anything but bawling
