-
- Most certainly YES!!
-
- Why am I so sure? Well, I believe what the Bible says in its
- entirety! I have read it through 11 times and am convinced that there
- is no other book that gives us: -
-
- (1) All the rules for life.
- (2) The history of man from beginning to end.
- (3) What will happen in the future.
- (4) Why we are here.
-
- There are amazing facts and figures that tell us, for instance, that
- people were originally created to live a lot longer than the 70 years
- or so that we expect now. Science is only just discovering that there
- are factors in the atmosphere, our diet, the sun's rays etc that cause
- our lives to be shortened.
-
- People you read about in the 'Old Testament' such as Adam & Eve, Noah,
- Methuselah and others lived considerably longer than people do now.
-
- Adam was over 900 years old before he died - he saw 8 or 9 generations
- of his grandchildren!! Methuselah was the man who lived the longest of
- anyone on earth and he lived for 969 years. These were real people -
- our relatives - and not fictional as some say.
-
- I know there have been, and are, many arguments against the
- correctness of the Bible, but it is possible to 'believe' what it says
- literally and without any contradiction from real science today.
-
- It might seem cranky in this day and age to believe the Bible and what
- it says but if it is read with an honest and open mind there are a lot
- of exciting things predicted in it including..... LIFE AFTER DEATH!!
-
- There are lots of books in the world, religious and non religious,that
- make a lot of predictions or prophesies for the future and some of the
- things predicted might have come true. The important word to remember
- is the little word 'some'!
-
- If a book lays claim to predictions for the future, it has to have ALL
- its predictions come true for it to be valid. The Bible says that if a
- prophet is wrong on 1 of his prophesies, then he is not to be regarded
- as a true prophet.
-
- There are things happening today that are EXACTLY as prophesied in the
- Bible & this is one of the proofs that this book is totally reliable.
-
- There are other proofs that I would gladly go into but for the sake of
- our original title - IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH - I will just tell you
- what the Bible says on this subject. Do not get me wrong - I am not a
- minister or a priest and you could say I wasn't very religious because
- I hardly ever go to church, but I'm totally convinced by the arguments
- in the Bible..........
-
- When we die it is like going out of one room into another. Rather than
- going into oblivion we enter a 'spirit world' and are much more aware
- and conscious than even at our brightest while alive. We go then
- before our Creator to give an account of our lives and are judged on
- what we have done.
-
- This 'spirit state' is not how we will be for ever, but at the end of
- time all the waiting 'spirits' will be given new bodies and they will
- occupy a new earth and new heaven which will have been re-created. The
- old earth and all the stars, planets, galaxies, etc will all be rolled
- together and then made into a totally new system.
-
- Of course, all those people who have been evil and have gone totally
- against what God has planned will be banished from these superb new
- planets - but the "new people" ( for want of better words ) will have
- fantastic bodies which will never experience pain and will never die.
-
- There will be pleasures and delights that men have never ever thought
- of and rather than sitting on clouds plucking at silly little harps we
- will be doing creative and fantastic things without the interruption
- of night-time, wars, bad weather, robberies, murder,accidents,sickness
- & all the other things you can think of that spoil our enjoyment here
- and now.
-
- To use a frivolous example of those 'pleasures': Your interest is in
- computing!! Your computer is far in advance of anything here and you
- are able to create 'amazing' and enormous programmes with far reaching
- abilities. Or perhaps you like gardening and would like to grow trees.
- You could plant a Giant Redwood Pine and watch it grow over the next
- 10,000 years and it would exceed the biggest and best in Canada today.
-
- Anyway, all that is a limited example of what I believe the future
- holds for people AFTER THIS LIFE and I make no apology for my beliefs
- because I'm absolutely convinced by what I have read in the Bible.

- P.S If you would like a copy of the full Bible in ASCII then send me
- 7 disks or £5.00 and I will send you a copy. I have fully edited this
- King James version and it is very good.

- EDITORIAL FOOTNOTE:
-
- The subject of Man's mortality is something that we all dwell upon at
- one time or another during our short lives. Peter has been honest and
- open with his beliefs on this touchy subject; what do YOU think? Do
- you believe that once we shed the mortal coil we go on to better
- things, or do we just become so much fertiliser to refresh the soil
- from which we came? The channel is open for your thoughts, comments
- and opinions .......
