    Very good question, Cyberjesus... Just a few months ago my heart swelled wih enthusiasm as I shared the words at John 5: 28, 29. I was so full of contagious conviction that in many cases I could tell I had brought real comfort to the person. But now the question of an afterlife hangs in the air without any possible proof one way or another, and I know I will be puzzled next time I face this issue. It's good you bring this out, you've made me aware I must give some thought to an appropriate answer.

    I like what some of the posters have said. I want to reread their good answers.
