brainhgeek: But the same Bible talks of mercy trumping judgement in James. 2:13. Is that not a contradiction then? |

It's just a ritual. There is no repentance after death. But God ,mysterious in His Ways and Graces,can inexplicably,forgive a soul. 1 Like |

Righteousness2: Are you God's spokesman? There are things that only God knows and has control over! Our focus is to live a life worthy of salvation and even at that, non of us is worthy. We are redeemed by grace and not by works. |

All these people doing like they are God's P.A, they fully understand the mind of God. Afterall, The Bible said precious in the sight of God is the death of His saints. So taking a dead soul to church matters after death. Though Mercy after death may not be possible, because the rich man begged for a second Chance to talk to his brothers to amend their ways, but was not granted. Nevertheless, asking God for mercy of the souls of the dead is not a wasted prayer. I'll rather be taken to the Church when I'm dead, with prayers and Holy water administered on me, than a shrine, to have traditional rites done on me. I can't even fathom being an atheist dead, where poems will be read on my body. Tufiakwa!!! 1 Like |

We often hear that "what God cannot do, does not exist" Leave God to decide whose sin to forgive after death or not. Prayer is good at all times. Praying for anyone who is dead is a good thing to do. But God will decide whether to accept the prayer or NOT. Don't decide for God. |

Righteousness2: Why can you prove it was not part of the bible. Martin luther included it in the original books but was removed by his disciples. Brother read and research. Dont just limit yourself to what mouka tells you. You can start your research from here |

Nothing like forgiven sin after death they're not been praying for their forgiveness, but they are final respect in other to commit their love one to God When a man die the next thing is judgement No matter how you pray the case file of the dead person has been closed #livinginchristisglorious# |

Righteousness2:when you say they go straight to hell and heaven is your answer scriptural , the bible talk about rapture, how believers who sleep in Christ will raise first then they that are alive will be cutup and that the sea will give up those that are in it. |

All kinds of idiots on this platform sha...who think they know but yet know nothing. God help us all. After the removal of the outward man or when the outward man falls (which most erroneously called death), mercy can still be granted and inside mercy is forgiveness. If not, Christ wouldn't have preached to disobedient spirits in the pit/world of the dead, which is a prison yard (what most call hell) who refused God's salvation in the days of Noah (1 Peter 2:19-20). So, after someone passes, mercy can be granted and forgiveness can be granted, depending on the state of the soul. God is not petty like some paint it here or keeps malice. However, that you are forgiven doesn't mean you won't receive your reward. That is what you should know. It is foolish to live an ungodly life here because you don't know what you will do that will make you die the second death. And when you die the second death, you can't be forgiven, not because God can't forgive you, but because you yourself can never repent like Satan. Such people have become sons of perdition/disobedience like Satan who have the might to bear God's wrath. Those who will be cast into the Lake of Fire in the Book of Revelations are those who have gotten to that state, not a soul, even though an unbeliever, can still respond to God. The punishment of Judgement is the punishment of reward which is given to you for things done in the body (2 Corinthians 5:10). Reward is worse than hell if you fall short because the regret will stay with you for a long time (shame). When you are meant to rule over nations, you are given ghetto to stay. Hell fire, as popularly called, is not the final destination, as worse as it is. The fada still dey come...that is why books were opened. The event where books were opened has not happened yet...it is to x-ray everyone with the second death and how far you've gone in it. You will be surprised by those who will enter there...a cannabis smoker or some called sinners will even escape, while a supposedly religious person will enter because of something they have done to their souls. It is oversabi to think it is when the outward man falls; that's when judgement starts really. It begins on earth. People don't have to wait till they get to heaven to receive most of the rewards. Some received it at a measure bodily (like Enoch, Elijah, Methuselah, Mehujael, Daniel, Paul, John the Divine, etc.). The reward is either life or the second death and some are already on the path of the second death. Some inherited second death reward in the days of Jude (Jude 1:12) just as some will inherit life eternal bodily while still alive. Just look around you, people are being made hellish right here on earth, even in this our Nigeria, not to talk of other parts of the earth, and they are proud of it...i mean very proud...no remorse... *Anyone who can still repent can be forgiven even after death, but one who can not be forgiven is someone whose soul don cross boundary and can no longer repent just like evil spirits and Satan, even though the person still dey earth. 1 Like |

Jahlivesforever:This is actually a lie. What are you even saying? I'm Catholic too and I tell you several times that this is bullcrap. The prayers during burial mass are mainly for peaceful repose of the dead, and to console the bereaved family and it doesn't mean the dead person won't go to hell. It's the life we live that determines if we're going to heaven or hell. Please be guided so you don't make mistakes that might cost your soul |

It is a means to show off,to proof that we are religious even though the dead is wicked in lifetime, it is a means for priest and church to generate fund,what some church hes ask the family to pay or bring stones are mouth watering. But most importantly it is time to win souls to Christ |
Re: Why Are The Dead Taken To Church For Prayers; Does God Forgive Sins After Death? by Charly68: 2:44pm On May 01, 2022 |
Let me give you what God says : Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: - Singing , praying and preaching during burial is for the living not for the dead. May be the living will be able to repent before alarm blow that is why we take the dead to church but aside from this , it is just a ceremonial thing |

Jahlivesforever: It is appointed for man for die once, after that is judgement. Even if all the religious leaders gather to pray for a dead man, the prayer is ineffectual. Once someone is dead, that is the end of a chance to repent. |
