Does anybody else notice this or is it just me?

Question

How come when people die after their funeral they act like that person is going to heaven and is all holy holy but in reality everybody that die and goes to church isnt going to heaven but whenever people are alive they talk about them like a dog

Answer 1

I agree 100%. Even nasty people get the "he was a great guy, loved by many". Hell, why not be honest. "We are all here to celebrate the death of a miserable person."

Answer 2

Some people believe that the living possess an immortal soul that survives the death of the body. If a person lives a good life, the soul is said to go to heaven, or paradise, but if a person lives a bad life, the soul is supposedly condemned to hell. Often people combine this idea with traditional beliefs. For example, newspaper obituaries that announce church funeral services will sometimes also say that the person has “crossed over” or “gone to the ancestors.” These beliefs are all based on the idea that the soul, or spirit, survives the death of the body. What does the Bible say about this?

Soul and Spirit

The Bible shows that the soul is not something inside a person; the soul is the very person himself. For example, when God created Adam, “the man came to be a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7) Adam was not given a soul; he was a soul, a complete person.

Consequently, we read that souls are born. (Genesis 46:18) They can eat or fast. (Leviticus 7:20; Psalm 35:13) They weep and faint away. (Jeremiah 13:17; Jonah 2:7) Souls can be kidnapped, pursued, and put in irons. (Deuteronomy 24:7; Psalm 7:5; 105:18) Some Bibles render the original-language word as “soul” in those verses, while others use the words “being,” “creature,” or “person.” All mean the same thing.

Since the soul is the person, when a person dies, the soul dies. Ezekiel 18:4 says: “The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.” Also, Acts 3:23 says: “Any soul [or, person] that does not listen to that Prophet will be completely destroyed from among the people.” So the soul is not something that survives the death of the body.

Answer 3

This is why I stopped attending funerals. I got so sick of watching people turn into "Casket Creeps" & crying over the body of the person who they were never friendly with to begin with! It's a lot like those famous artists who couldn't sell their paintings for a meal, then after they died, the price of their artworks could purchase a castle! I chalk it up to greed & ignorance. A dead body can't defend themselves from harsh words & actions of the living. Yet, if the living believe they can be haunted by the dead, then this might be one reason for the sudden change in how they treat a person after they have died!...FEAR of the unknown!

Answer 4

To quote a line from an old "Mork and Mindy" episode, "Why is it the young always die so good?"

I believe it comes from those old beliefs that the dead can come back and haunt us, so we should speak well of them. As if.

Hey, some of those old buzzards are better away from the rest of us. No disrespect to the loved ones, but when that old crotchety buzzard finally kicks the bucket - let's face it, some are glad he is gone. We don't need to disrespect those who will actually miss the departed, but we don't have to stand and state false praises, either.

Answer 5

that's what she did she switched along with her twin Nocole whilst Nicole got here out for some seconds she performed it off and held her lower back whilst it became her abdomen hurting from Victoria's Kick. The Bella Twins are a Heel Tag group and that they're going to shop doing this to Win suits for sure Tazz and J.R do no longer khnow they switched or that Brie has a twin Sis.

Answer 6

You don't know what you have till it's gone. And some people actually are a little superstitious about "speaking ill of the dead." Others, though, might be all nicey at the funeral, but once they get home, they speak their real feelings.

Funny how humans seldom judge others to be better than themselves.

Answer 7

Basically I think it's long been held (for various reasons) that it is unacceptable to "speak ill of the dead". In some ways it's the ultimate gossip....they are not there to defend themselves, and never can. Even people who are living we are not to speak poorly of. But, of course, we do. It is possible to me that what goes around comes around...even if the person you are judging is dead. In the Lord's prayer we actually ask God to forgive us as we forgive others. Do you really want God to forgive you just like you do? So.....a difficult standard to keep, but then, the right thing to do is not usually the easy or popular thing to do.

Answer 8

That's just in case God is listening..they want him to hear good things coming out of their mouths...but, then when they are on a two to two basis they let their true feelings about the deceased come out...

I think they think they should come up with something good to say to make the family feel better...that kind of talk does not last very long after the wake...

"the good is oft interred with their bones"...

Answer 9

People often talk about the deceased being in heaven because it is a comfort to the family, or to themselves. God knows our hearts. It is obvious that some people are truly Christians. With others, it is not so obvious.

Answer 10

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Only those who are saved by Jesus Christ will live forever with God. For Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no one shall come to the Father except through Him.
