INSIGHT

Finality of Death and Judgment

  • Prayers to change the repentance of deceased people lack biblical support.
  • Hebrews 9:27 states each person dies once, then faces judgment, affirming the finality of death.
ADVICE

Compassionate Gospel Opportunity

  • Respond compassionately by gently explaining that a deceased person's fate is fixed.
  • Use the conversation to warn and encourage the living to turn to Jesus for salvation.
INSIGHT

Resurrections Are Rare Exceptions

  • Hebrews 9:27 applies generally, but resurrections in the Bible were rare, temporary exceptions.
  • These resurrections served different purposes, like showing God's glory, not reversing eternal judgment.
