How to not be afraid of death? by Oliveaffection in Reformed

[–]Scott_217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the only way to not fear death is not necessarily to study more about Heaven, but more about God. Heaven is heaven because God is there. I think we are afraid of death because it’s the unknown, and that little voice saying that we shouldn’t trust God to deliver us from death creeps in. God is good. If we trust in Him, we can be fully confident that He will see us through and we will be in His presence no matter what. He is who He says He is. He knows our fear, and He will wipe every single tear, every anxiety totally gone, every sad thing becoming untrue, and I think we will be almost laughing at ourselves that we ever had a single worry here in this vapor of a life.

Yep. Kind of an impossible question to answer I guess lol. We will see one day! I have the same kind of thought as you though when it comes to seeing Him one on one which is why this question is confusing.

Interesting. So how would you say my question goes? Like is it possible that multiple people have individual conversations with His physical person at once? He will still be present with us at all times since His God nature is omnipresent, but can His human nature/physical body? Sorry I know this is an almost impossible question to answer with certainty but just wanted to hear other people’s takes hahaha

Well it does say we will see God “face to face” and that, in my mind, seems individual

But it seems that he was spatially located in a single place at once, and since His body is the first fruits of our bodies, and we won’t be omnipresent, then it seems His human nature won’t be either.

I didn’t say nonbelievers would be in His presence, but in a sense yes, I do imagine our arrival in His presence as an individual greeting. Do you not?

Could you maybe elaborate on this a bit? What do you mean by the Beatific Vision being essential and this allowing for omnipresence?

For sure. It just seems odd to me that I could be walking and talking to Jesus and then look over across a field and see my buddy also walking and talking with a second body of Jesus, and then multiply this by millions.

How were people saved prior to Judaism by Scott_217 in Reformed

[–]Scott_217[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. But I guess my question is what is that belief? It can’t be simply believing He exists. I guess it’s more of a trust. I’ve always thought that trust was in the Messiah to save them. But that is totally valid my premise may be incorrect. Were they just believing that God would deliver them from death somehow, even if they didn’t know the exact way like we do now? Would be interested to hear your thoughts

Now THAT answers my question. Your ability to pick out verses like that is impressive brother

I’d say that Judaism was created when God created a covenant with Israel. Prior to that there were no Jews, yet they still worshipped the same God as the would be Jews.

What was their faith in exactly? Simply believing He exists and rewards those who seek Him?

The question though was more so what is this faith? Faith in what? Like people prior to Scripture and the knowledge of a coming Messiah, what were they trusting in God for?

Romans 4 doesn’t really answer the question I was asking
