HarlequinLekex:it is a teaching that burials and associated rituals are of this world and not of the Kingdom of God. Those who are of this world are refered to in that as also being of the dead....they are condemned to return to the dust of this earth when they die - Genesis 3 vs 19 - 22 |

HarlequinLekex:Can the dead bury a dead person? Impossible, Ecclesiastics 9:5,10. Rather, Jesus meaning "let the spiritually dead Jews & others like them continue to wallow in that state of spiritual poverty, but the disciples (spiritually awake & spiritually conscious go abroad (everywhere) to declare the good news of God's kingdom,Luke 9:60 2 Likes |

HarlequinLekex: One of my brothers (Janosky) has answered the question just little addition. After the fall of man in the garden of Eden all the descendants of Adam have fallen short of the glory of God {Romans 3:23} so instead of gaining immortality through our heavenly father death rules over mankind {Romans 5:12, 17} therefore we are all like walking corpse in the eyes of God because Adamic sin will always catch up with us making us grow old, get sick and expire. But Jesus' teachings if perfectly applied will bring a blessing, all those practically applying it will be pardoned when God's Kingdom comes {Matthew 6:10} so Jesus' preaching and teaching campaign will attract God's attention and love for us God will command His angels to start writing down the names of many who are discussing about His righteousness {Malachi 3:16} these are the living from God's point of view {John 11:25-26} because when those who ignore talks having to do about God are left to continue decaying in their graves {Psalms 9:17} those whose names has been recorded will be called back to life! John 5:28-29 compare to Job 14:13-15 God bless you and may you have PEACE! 1 Like |
