THINKING WITH CHRIS CHRISTIAN VOL. 39

INTRODUCTION

Don’t talk against dead people. There is no need to talk about the weaknesses of a dead person you used to know when he or she was alive; instead, keep it in your heart because they are already dead. All dead people are sorrowful and in pain. A dead man is someone who is depraved. Depravity means that there is something the person needs to know that he didn’t know, so he died. Then when they go to the grave, they start to feel very bad.

When one is about to die, he will not believe in God anymore. The spirit of one who is getting ready to die will get cold. As one is moving from life to death, he will be angry with God so that God can be disconnected from him while he continues his journey because God does not follow people to the grave. But those who are very strong in faith cannot be killed anyhow. This is why most of them are killed through infirmities. They will depend on infirmities to quench their fire because a hot man cannot be taken to the grave. If the man still has his fire and he is killed, he will be a martyr and martyrs are problems both to men and God. So, to kill such people, they will get them to doubt God through a gradual process of afflictions. But this usually happens when people have stayed long in the church that they start to get familiar with the word of God.

All dead men are defenseless and defeated. They lost the battle to death. Sadly, they wish to live but they cannot live. When they lose their bodies and because they wish to live, they stay with the living because they want to be like the living. Dead people don’t separate from their children. Their place is with the living because the living has their hope. The dead don’t have hope nor can they go to heaven. They cluster around the living because they want to come back. There is something they want to become that they didn’t become, so every day, they keep looking for an opening to become that. The dead move about to be part of the earth. If they are moving about to be part of the earth, why would someone who is alive want to die?
