Lawyers Are Buried Six Feet And Not With Theirs Faces Turned Upside Down. by Treash(m): 3:53pm On Oct 26, 2016
* lawyers are not buried upside down
I’ve heard so many comments and questions from people
including scholars and Christians, condemning lawyers,. One is
left in some doubt whether law was not recognized, indeed,
instituted by scripture. Often, you hear comments such as:
lawyers are liars; lawyers turn white to black and black to white;
lawyers do not know God; when lawyers die, they are buried
face-downwards so they don’t see God; no Lawyer can make
heaven. And many more comments like that.
One of days, I was on my way to Ekiti State, in the middle of a
conversation with a co-passenger, when I introduced myself as
a lawyer, he began to ask me so many questions like: “Do you
know all lawyers are liars?,” “lawyers can change white to
black,” “if you give a lawyer property to manage, na so so
English you go dey hear”, “what does it take to be a SAN?,” “am
I free to go to court and watch proceedings even if I don’t have
a case?,” ”Why do you call yourselves learned colleagues? Are
you saying we are not learned?,” “I no need lawyer because I no
want get case,” and the likes. The funniest of all the questions
was when I was asked, “Is it true that lawyers are buried upside
down? All I did throughout that journey was answering
questions and making clarities on erase the study ideas he had
about the legal profession.

* lawyers are not lies
My pastor in the middle of his sunday service sermon few
weeks back had posited that he disliked lawyers and judges
because almost all of them are atheists. He went on to say that
the enlightened mind of a lawyer or a judge is almost certainly
made up against the existence of God or a supernatural being
overseeing the affairs of sons and daughters of Adam.
According to the eloquent preacher of the gospel the
godlessness of these respected members of the bar and bench
in any given society gives rise to the generally-held view that
whenever a lawyer or judge dies and is being buried his or her
face is turned face-down in order not to see the sun, the
shining light of the universe.

* Lawyer’s Place in Heaven
This brief but precise write-up which is an examination of the
principle of fair hearing through the lens of scripture is one of
several series to show that virtually all reasonable modern laws
have their roots in the Holy Scripture (The Bible). Therefore, the
principle of fair hearing, its meaning, origin and application in
the scripture and how the popular natural justice principle of fair
hearing draws its strength from the scripture will be examined.
It is intended to illustrate that although man may not tolerate
lawyers (man never tolerated his fellow man either), God, who
put law in place and placed lawyers in charge of same, sure,
will, in my view, in HIS natural character give lawyers a fair
hearing on the last day.

Man has been a problem to God from inception of creation. Man
has never faithfully kept a simple instruction. Laws made by
God have hardly ever been obeyed by man, much less laws
made by fellow man, including those laws made by God’s
instructions. But, lawyers have been in the practice of assisting
God to manage man in man’s affairs on earth, ranging from
issues as high as how to become a president of a country to
issues as basic as how to get, keep and manage a wife and
children.
I Wish I could resist asking: if law meant nothing to God, would
HE take HIS time to arrange a heavenly assembly to enact the
Ten Commandments which HE handed over to Moses to
present to the people of Israel with the instruction that, same
would govern His relationship with His people? Subject to no
correction, there is nowhere in the scripture where it is stated
that the law is bad. Christ said ‘do not think that I came to
destroy the law or the Prophets; I did not come to destroy, but
to fulfill.’( Lk. 16:17).

The Bible says: ‘and it is easier for heaven and earth to pass
away than for one title of the law to fail’. In fact, to further
elucidate on this point, the trained lawyer servant himself, Paul,
says: ‘the law is good when used correctly.’ That is why there is
no iota of doubt if St. Paul, a lawyer, is in Heaven.
lawyers Are Buried Six Feet Not Twelve Feet Below The Ground
The phrase “six feet under” is always synonymous to death, but
have you ever wondered why a person’s grave should be dug at
a depth of six feet? Apparently, it all started during the 1655
bubonic plague in England. When the bubonic plague hit the
area, the mayor of London immediately issued a law on how to
properly deal with dead bodies to prevent the spread of
infection. It was then specified that the graves should be dug
“at least six feet deep.

Eventually, there was no need for a standard measurement of
the grave’s depth. The six feet under rule proved to be useless
at that time of the plague since it wasn’t really the dead that
spread the infection, but the fleas that carry the disease.
In Americas, the laws would differ from one state to another. In
some, coffins or burial vaults would only need 18 inches of
soil on top of them. So, even a grave that’s shallow as four feet
would be considered acceptable. There are even those that are
deeper than 12 feet and the reason for this is so that there will
be more space for other dead bodies to be placed in the same
grave – usually relatives or loved ones.
In modern standards for burial grounds, there is no need for the
grave to be six feet deep. In particular, flood-prone areas like
New Orleans in USA wouldn’t want their dead to follow the six
feet under rule, since it will only result to waterlogging and
coffins springing from the ground. Even up to the present day,
New Orleans faces this problem.

But really, how deep should the dead be buried? There’s no
universal measurement. Even in the UK, the decision is entirely
up to the owner, provided that the grave is deep enough so that
animals can’t dig it up and expose the body or coffins.It’s just
a matter of making sure the dead remains below the ground.
In conclusion, that law is central to God’s plan for the earth
(from where we prepare to go to heaven) is not in doubt. That
lawyers who are the ones trained to interpret and apply the law
are also central to God’s plan may not be in doubt, going from
the above analysis. What is not particularly clear is whether
every lawyer will make heaven just because law is central to
heaven’s plan. One thing I am sure of, is that no matter what
the case may be, God will give lawyers fair hearing.
It is submitted that after such fair hearing, and only after such
hearing, can the destination of the lawyer, just like the
destination of any person who dies, be determined. The first
sets of people to get to heaven, in my view, are lawyers IF with
emphases, IF and only IF lawyers assist God to manage man
here on earth.
