Thank-you. The information is relevant. And agreed about what Christ was sent here by Father to teach, which absolutely requires a complete change of attitude/mindset, so that we can be taught from within.IMHO, when an individual experiences loss of loved ones, and unfortunately, I've experienced quite a number in the last few years, one starts to ask and really question what life is really about. So much of what divides people is superfluous and trivial, that you smirk and things that are constructed to divide us. All I know is my grief was real, but so was my love for them.
As you've said, satan is clever at his deception and even tempted Jesus for that matter, but clearly he knew what is here is temporal, as Jesus was here to spread the message you've indicated. It's what Jesus even said at the Mount, but there are some that simply don't get it. That's fine, and I'm making the broad assumption that their egos are frail and/or they're not willing to understand the message that Jesus was sent here to teach because it comes from within, a change of attitude/mindset. We're here to learn and understand what the Heavenly Father wants from us in order to spend an eternity with Him. Why is that so hard to comprehend? I don't know, but I'm grateful I have friends, family and coworkers who understand the message and do what we can to help people better their lives and themselves. I'll try to create a little heaven on earth while Jesus greets those who've actually entered it:
I posted this in another thread, but I'll post it here too as I find it relevant if you don't mind. It makes me know I WILL see my loved ones again:
Heaven - What Is it Like and Where Is it?
What is Heaven Like? Top Questions Answered with Bible Quotes
Heaven is a real place. If you have ever wondered about heaven; where it is, what it looks like, and if we will know each other, here are the answers!www.biblestudytools.com
The most important words in all of Scripture are found in John 3:3-7, where we are told we MUST be born again from above as our true, spiritual selves to be able to see the Kingdom of Heaven. If we cannot see the Kingdom of Heaven, then there is no hope of entering it.
That passage also tells us plainly "that which is born of the flesh is flesh" (human) and "that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" (a spiritual-Being) and elsewhere that "flesh and blood (humans) CANNOT inherit the Kingdom of Heaven" (1 Cor. 15:50).
The reason for sharing this is because that complete change of attitude/mindset is the direct result of being truly born again from above. Part of that involves seeing, possibly for the first time, thoughts as they enter the mind, making it possible to discern what is human (of this world, to further the ego/"self") and what is spiritual (heavenly, eternal, self-less, and done to benefit others). Of course following through with the spiritual thoughts begins with the keeping of Father's Law, which is augmented more and more with actual guidance received in the moment as the discipline and obedience improves.
We've been receiving this guidance all along; unfortunately, most can't hear it, because they have become so utterly dependent upon human senses and man-made worldly doctrines, that they have rendered themselves spiritually deaf and blind.
With the overcoming of the ego/"self" comes the loss of the pain and anguish we feel, e.g. with the passing of loved ones. All pain is attached to the "self", so once it goes, so does the emotional pain. Please consider how different someone's passing would be viewed if it was understood that they were being gathered by Father (Who is The Best Planner and knows what is best for everyone). Father is gathering them because there's nothing further for them to learn in this lifetime. And being liberated from the human body of that past lifetime physically detaches them from the "self" so that they can feel Love and Light and Joy all around them.
The reason people are sad when others pass away is for selfish reasons, whether we realize it or not. That's part of Satan's deception, and it's based upon looking at their passing selfishly as our loss, rather than unselfishly as their gain.
This is being shared not to try to tell you how you should feel, but to illustrate how the glass half empty (human) or half full (spiritual) mindset can view the exact same event from two completely different perspectives; one filled with pain and loss, and the other filled with love and joy.
The joy that only Father can provide by drawing closer to Him; the joy that no man can take away from you.
Peace be upon you.
