Hey Dude that was really powerful but to answer one of your questions about what is worse than death..i just had to witness someone dieing that was very close to me and it is not a great feeling what so every but i do feel that feeling where im still questioning is it real and can grasp the fact that he is gone and it is weird. but back to the question something i feel that is worse than death would be someone walking with Christ than watching them lead off into Satan’s kingdom.
i have seen this many many times and it breaks my heart and destroys my trust for them and sometimes it is hard for me to love them. like it says in -2 Peter 2:21-22-It would be better if they had never known the way to righteousness than to know it and then reject the command they were given to live a holy life.They prove the truth of this proverb: “A dog returns to its vomit.”And another says, “A washed pig returns to the mud. you have to watch these people throw away god even though they know what true fulfillment is. Death is unreal but spiritual death is broken!

Interesting blog, B.
Yes, the spiritual death is the absolutely worst thing! It’s still so painful–this is an understatement–to think about my dad’s, my “Baba”‘s (woman who raised me) and my grandfather’s hostile reactions when approached about Jesus– even on their death beds! They were really sick and so physical death seemed merciful in order to relieve them of their pain. But each of them seemed to carry a guilt or weight that was “unforgivable”. This deception with such heavy consequences–eternal separation from a loving God is…well, I can’t stand to think about it. It’s haunting.
It often makes me think about what a miracle & victory it is when anyone gets saved and makes me so grateful for my own salvation as I don’t know of any true Christians in the generations before me.

Yes I can see how such a thing could be emotionally scarring. I couldn’t even imagine it. But yeah I find it very interesting that pains and troubles having to do with loved ones are the hardest to solve and get over.

I really liked your blog Bryan. I think I especially connected with it, being my grandfather died two days ago so these things are pretty raw in my brain right now. He was saved, so as you know, that really helps as you try and cope with it. My reaction to him dying is not as tumultuous as it was when my grandmother died, for she was not saved.

In regards to your question “Does anything hurt more than death?”, I am assuming you mean physical death, and what would be worse than physical death would be spiritual death. Beyond that, I have never experienced anything worse than the pain of physical death. But I would think (and this may sound really callous), that I would prefer the pain of the physical death of one of my children than the pain of knowing they were being raped and tortured on a constant basis (like if they were kidnapped).

I’ll have agree with you Rob nothing in my life has been harder than dealing with death. Very good Blog Bryan Bassett! I too also lost my father at a younger age and it was a terrible feeling! Even knowing i would see him again it’s just a tough experience which can take you into depression if you let it. I really enjoyed reading this and getting to know about what’s going on in your life

Awesome blog B, it was really thought provoking. As far as anything being harder then death I’m not entirely sure if there’s anything else, but as far as within the idea of death itself I believe losing someone close who hasn’t been saved would be, for the sole fact that you wouldn’t be able to see them in heaven; this idea coming from personal experience with my grandmother.

I was able to “like” this, Rozler, because I think Facebook knew I meant it.
