A Funeral
ONE HUNDRED BIBLE LESSONS is a book written by Alban Douglas. It is a book everybody should have. I have learnt very much by reading the book.
One Lesson is about DEATH. What I am doing now, I am doing for the first time. Each Lesson has REVIEW QUESTIONS at the end. The Lesson about DEATH has also Review Questions and I am endeavouring now to answer some of them.
I think when I have finished answering the questions we have a good idea what the BIBLE is teaching on the subject of DEATH.
DEFINE DEATH
Life is difficult to define and death is also difficult to define. Death is when the heart stops, when the breath ceases, when the body is stiff.
WHAT HAPPENS TO TRIPARTITE MAN AT DEATH?
The body goes to the grave. The spirit goes back to God. (Ecclesiastes 12:7) The soul in Luke 16:19-31 goes to one of two places: The soul of the wicked to hell, Luke 16:23. The soul of the righteous to paradise, Luke 16:22.
WHAT ARE THE TWO KINDS OF DEATH AND WHERE DID THEY ORIGINATE?
The two kinds of death are Spiritual death and Physical death and they come from the Garden of Eden.
WHAT IS THE BASIC CAUSE OF DEATH?
The basic cause of death is SIN!
WHAT IS THE CURE FOR SPIRITUAL DEATH?
Spiritual death is cured by believing on the LORD Jesus Christ.
WHY IS PSALM 23:4 SO PRECIOUS TO THE THE SERIOUSLY SICK?
Because the Lord Jesus Christ has promised to walk with his true followers through the experience of death.
WHAT IS THE CONTRAST BETWEEN PSALM 116:15, AND EZEKIEL 33:11?
The death of the righteous is precious to the Father. PARADISE!
The death of the wicked is unpleasant to God. HELL!

When the lecturer talked about a MOURNING service, I thought it was a service in the MORNING .
