Am I the only one who has an issue with funerals for
sinner and saints ? Okay, like when you know someone
lived a very righteous life, it is easy for the person giving
the eulogy, to say they are now going to be with the Lord.
( How do we really know that ? ) Some people can be very
deceptive. Let's go with the assumption indeed she or he
is with the Lord. My best friend of 29 years, left no
doubt in my mind where she was. She lived it. This is
just an example.

Now for the sinner. The one you really know had never given
their life to Christ, and they die suddenly from car accident,
or drug overdose, etc. Or entertainers who are eulogized
as being in Heaven when their life was open book and people
knew they lived for satan.

Does it bother anyone else to see this take place in a funeral,
or memorial, to hear they are with the Lord now. It just
doesn't work that way.

Paul said, "to be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord."
However, Jesus tells us "those who believe on me shall be saved."
Believing there is a Jesus does not make a Christian. Remember
in Revelations we are told, " I rather you be hot or cold, and the
lukewarm will be spewed out." I know that refers to the Church.
But we as a body make up the Church also. Okay, that is a
different topic.

Back to question at hand. Am I the only one who think it is
difficult to hear this?

The Lord could answer that for you, idk, I do know this that it is not difficult for the Lord to hear an unspoken cry, or prayer, in the final moments of life. He hears the heart, we don't. It might not be your thing. I don't go there.
