Those that has died from their worldly ways through faith are the dead which they speak of. The world consider them to be dead, dull, boring, and or lifeless.

It is because they finally can rest from work!

Romans 4:4

Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, reckoned of grace, but of debt.

We are not blessed because our task masters work us to the grave. The houses have grown to 20 million now! Isn't time WE rest too!?

I guess 17 trillion dollars in debt and many educated people without jobs is not enough.

Yes, that is what the devil has created.

Matthew 5:3“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

The bible says that God hears not a sinner's prayer. If even those who say they are in Christ AND still call themselves sinners, then how are we blessed?

I guess that we are bless because God has given us Mercy. We could had been squirming around in darkness, not knowing who we are or where we are, and unable to learn from our mistakes, forever. Wouldn't have the abilities to see, here, and touch. But living off the thoughts of the people's sufferings that we had cause while we have had these abilities. So now God giving us a chance to use these abilities for good use, to see if we are willing to redeem ourselves with the assistance of the Spirit of God. so I think that's consider to be a blessing.

I believe that the only reason we die today is because we don't love one another.
