Mark 12 vs 27
He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
- The Bible says it is appointed to a man to die once, after which is judgement.
- The implication is that once the person is dead, he has no more portion in this world and has gone to meet his creator.
- While it is appropriate to mourn our loved ones, we should try to overcome every emotional attachment we have with the dead.
- Practices like visiting the grave annually, putting flowers in the grave, and doing elaborate memorial celebrations of the dead are rarely unscriptural.
- That is why the Bible says God is not the God of the dead but of the living.
