Znation:* That practice has absolutely nothing to do with God this since God's presence does not live in your churches much the same way God's presence never lived inside of Jewish synagogues, even of Old. ![]() * The fate of a dead man is decided as he lives. Contrary to popular belief, you cannot say a last minute prayer before death only to expect to be saved. If one does not infact do works of righteousness while still alive and able to, no amount of predate confessions can save one's soul. You have to do works of righteousness and you have to remain faithful till the end in order to be saved - That is what Jesus Christ said - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46 & Mark 13 vs 13. ![]() * Your sins will be forgiven you even a blink before death but without righteousness, it is meaningless- Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46. Righteousness is the extra lamp Oil that every bride must have in order to enter into the wedding feast - Matthew 25 vs 1 - 13 ![]() Basically, all burial rituals are meaningless when it comes to God and the things of God. ![]() 1 Like 1 Share |

One man of God was telling us that,why the dead person is taken to the church is to pray for their soul and also preach for the living to repent of their sin b4 dead,and there is no repentance after death. |

Jahlivesforever:God can never forgive a dead man of His unrighteousness though. He can't go against His own Word and Law, that is part of what makes Him God. ![]() Your church is nothing but a business enterprise. Those who believe in God know not to test God with that which is against God. ![]() |

naija4life247:You might as well take them to a shrine because what you do in your churches is no different from what babalawos do in their shrines where God is concerned. Your churches are no more than Dressed up babalawo shrines at the end of the day and nothing more. ![]() |

Righteousness2:What makes a bible a holy book and a book of God? 70% of the new testament was authored by Jewish lawyer, a persecutor, a rapist and criminal called saul. What is different between Obasanjo and saul? While saul was writing to the so called early Christians to repent from their sins, Obasanjo is writing to Nigeria government to do righteous deeds. Meanwhile both of then are hard unrepented criminals. If saul personal letters are now regarded as words of God. Obasanjo letters should Also be named 3rd testament of the bible. Because Obasanjo hav written more letters today than saul. 1 Like |

But Peter prayed for the dead( Tabitha) and she rose. You get the point now, you can definitely pray for the dead. there was a time Paul prayed for onesimus in 1timoty 1vs16-18. With the description, it's obvious he's dead already. In his Second Epistle to Timothy (i, 16-18; iv, 19) St. Paul speaks of Onesiphorus in a way that seems obviously to imply that the latter was already dead: ‘The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus’ — as to a family in need of consolation. Then, after mention of loyal services rendered by him to the imprisoned Apostle at Rome, comes the prayer for Onesiphorus himself, ‘The Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day’ (the day of judgment) 5 Likes |

Taking dead to church is not about the spiritual aspect of the dead again but just for giving it befitting burial and to pray for people it left behind. 3 Likes |

Thestormisover:Nowhere in that particular passage is it ever mentioned that God accepted or acknowledged his rituals though. ![]() And if you had paid close attention to what is written there, he mentioned that that resurrection was only for those who died in godliness/righteousness. This is what God promised to men of the Old Covenant Law of Moses - those who died ungodliness/unrighteousness perished in their grave without a chance at the resurrection , so why would a one who belongs to God test God? ![]() |

Most of the times, it is because of their membership, commitment and commitment to the church, the church in a way of showing last respect to the family of the diseased. Stand to be corrected. But it's mostly like that. 1 Like |

Thestormisover: If it is not commanded in the scripture but the church does it, such is a tradition of men Jesus said: Mat 15:3: "But he answered and said to them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?" Mar 7:9: "And he said to them, Full well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition." 1 Like |

Nothing is more beautiful and touching than attending a Catholic funeral. ![]() From the final commendation, the mass, the incensation of the body etc. Then, everyone with their dripping Purple colour (purple signifies death in Catholic) matches with the corpse with accompanying gong! gong! bell sound. For my parish, we use that ancient Roman trolley, and either CMO or CWO or Knight lead the trolley(based on the organisation of the deceased). Two accorlytes with lit candles, cross bearer and priests. It resembles a scene from Merlin or any other Epic magical movie ![]() Death will just be looking so beautiful and sweet. The Latin responses et all. And you don't want me to be in church when I die? Besides, the souls that lingers in purgatory needs to be freed. 2 Likes |

The prayers are to afford the living an opportunity for a closure. To say goodbye to the dead. It is not about the dead |
