Is your loved ones that passed on before looking down from Heaven? If you believe this Your theology might be wrong.

What does the Bible say about loved ones that have passed?

"But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died."

This is a question I hear asked many times, but I do not believe that our loved ones that have gone on before us can look down from Heaven and see us for if that were the case then we would have to say that God's Holy Word is not right and by faith in Almighty God I know that it is! God promises in His Word that there will be no more sadness, nor tears, nor sorrow (Rev.:21:4) when we reach our heavenly home to be with Him for Eternity. If our loved ones could see some of what goes on here with those they love I am afraid there would be much sorrow, sadness, and shedding of tears which would make void the promises of God and Our God is the Father of Truth; He is God and He cannot lie!

Let us look to the scriptures to answer the question:" Can people in heaven look down and see us?" Ecc.9:5, For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. (Vs.6) Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have no more share in all that is done under the sun. (Vs.10) Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Job:14:12, So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. (Vs.13) O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! (Vs.14) If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. (Vs.15) Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.

Psm.146:3,4, Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. (Vs.4) His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Psm.115:17, The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. Psm 6:5, For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

Acts 2:29, Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
(Vs 34) For David is not ascended into the heavens:(Peter spoke these words over 1000 years after David's death.)

When a question was raised concerning the dead, Jesus said there that there would be no relationship in heaven, rather that we all will be like angels.Angels as we know are spirit beings. The reason being that we will not have our memories which we had on earth in heaven. Jesus answered this question to the disciples concerning women having seven husbands.


(Mathew 22: 22-30).

But in the scripture concerning the rich and Beggar Lazarus, we need to ask ourselves what was the purpose and teaching of Jesus. Was it to teach the final destination of mankind that they will be either in a Heaven or Hell. I believe also this scripture teaches us that mankind does not need one to come back from the dead to convince us that there is a place called hell.

We have the word and we believe the word. Likewise we do not need one who lived a life crime and murder who has been changed by the power if the Gospel to convince mankind about the power of God.

We have the "all powerful Word"....which is the power of God to them that believe.

  Fight the good fight. While slavery has been outlawed for 155 years, Black Americans still encounter racism and inequalities that influence their daily lives. “We are still trying to get free from many things,” said Karlos Hill, professor of African American studies at the University of Oklahoma. “But the principal thing we are trying to get free from is random racist violence in the form of private killings, like with Ahmaud Arbery, and state-sanctioned violence, like in the case with George Floyd.” According to a study from the University of Michigan, Rutgers University and Washington University, about 100 in 100,000 Black males will be killed by police during their lives. In contrast, 39 in 100,000 white males will die at the hands of police. Despite slavery being outlawed for 155 years under the Thirteenth Amendment, Black Americans are still racially profiled and disproportionately killed by police, encounter voter suppression, are blocked from peacefully protesting, and fac...

  The Kings child or Child of the king. What does this mean? If you believe that God is your Father , and not the pope then we have a foundation to start from . For God is creator of all . and all is created by Him and for Him , but that still does not mean that all is for Him . Even thou that all was created by Him by the breath of His mouth even thou God does not have a conventional mouth for this is just a figure of speech . Many do not believe in Him , and the works of His hands. But they want to go to heaven just the same. They want to get there on there own merit. They want to side step God , and still enjoy all the fruits or all the benefits that comes with knowing God. that cannot happen. They do not want to die they want to stay alive , and just walk on in they want everything to be just as it is. Like I said that cannot happen you/we cannot side step God for He is the creator , and not us. We have to honor Him with our life style which is laid out in scripture.We wil...

  Destination of many so called christian's. Those who reject God thereby choose hell, which is separation from God. What God is guilty of, so to speak, is respecting the free will of creatures that he created in his own image by allowing them to exercise their choice to reject him. It is the final destiny of every person who does not receive salvation, where they will be punished for their sins. People will be consigned to hell after the last judgment. Hell is the dwelling place of those who reject God irrevocably, whose alienation from God is a permanent expression of their own ill-used freedom, and whose suffering is at once physical (burning by fire) and spiritual (deprivation of God). In traditional English versions, he does occasionally seem to speak of “Hell” – for example, in his warnings in the Sermon on the Mount: anyone who calls another a fool, or who allows their right eye or hand to sin , reject the teaching of the bible will be cast into “hell” (Matthew 5:22, 29-30)....
