It is no accident that this question been waiting to be answered for several weeks now. It is not easy to answer and there is need to respect the pain of those who have suffered loss. It can be presumptuous to tell someone the reasons God had for allowing bad things to happen to them. […]

Was there death in the world before Adam and Eve sinned?

Answered by . October 15, 2011 - 10:29 pm

There are millions of years of fossils showing that death was around long before Adam and Eve. In any case, it is impossible to have life without death.

After death, what will happen to the sinner?

Answered by . March 13, 2010 - 8:13 pm 1

There is only one hope for life and reward after death — resurrection (Job 19:26-27, Daniel 12:1-2, Luke 14:14-15, John 5:28-29; 11:23-24, Acts 4:1-2; 24:15, Hebrews 6:1-2; 11:35, 39-40, Philippians 3:10-11). Judgment is in the future, and takes place at the return of Christ, not before (Ecclesiastes 12:14, Daniel 12:1-2, Matthew 7:21-23; 10:14-15; 11:22-24; 12:36-37; 13:24-50; 16:27; […]
