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?

Dead men don’t have a place in heaven; they have a place in their family and if God must help them, He will help them through their family members who are alive. I cannot help a dead Russian man because I don’t know him, except a dead person of another land who is a church member. But if there is no connection, then I cannot help them. If God wants to help the dead, He will depend on their living family members. You should not speak against the dead because they cannot reply you. Even when they talk to you, you can’t hear them. Besides, the word of the dead does not count, so we should not speak against them. Moreover, they need to be empowered to help us and it is the living that empowers the dead to help them.

The process that takes men to the grave is devaluation. All bodies don’t have the same value. There are bodies that do not have the ability to resist any evil. A low-quality body cannot resist evil because the families that produce such bodies have not started a process of producing high-quality bodies. The Jews are the best people because they have started the process of putting value on their bodies long before now, starting with Abraham. It is only a kind of body that has the ability to house Christ. The angel that told the parents of Jesus to run away with Him when Herod sought to kill Him was an angel of the value of Jesus’ body. Because His body has the ability to resist death, His body received the ability to guide itself. There are some people who cannot guide their bodies because their guardian angels are not empowered to do so.

Some values cannot come from some backgrounds because such backgrounds do not know how to process men and whatever men do not pay attention to, God will not pay attention to it for them. For instance, a background that does not know the value of investing in and protecting their children; it is not God that will do for them. This is why some children cannot come from certain backgrounds. As a young person who is looking for a spouse, consider background because background is important. We can only have a Lion where there is a Lamb and besides, we have the Lamb from Law and prophets; the process is not neglected. There was a thinking of Moses and Elijah to frontier the Old Testament and they combined and produced Jesus. Yet again, the three of them have to combine to produce the Lion from an improved background. When God wants to produce the future, He consults yesterday. The today of some people is not useful because they came from a vile yesterday.
