“A LIE ABOUT DEATH”

• There are many lies about death:
• Good intentions don’t justify untruth.

The lie we will consider today: “When someone dies, God gains another angel.”

1. Angels and humans are two different creations.

• Genesis 1:26-27; 2:7, 22; 3:24
• Ezekiel 28:12-15; Colossians 1:16
• Psalm 8:3-9 (Hebrews 2:6-8)
• Hebrews 1:14
• Hebrews 2:14-17; 1 Peter 1:12
• Luke 12:8-9; Revelation 7:9-12

2. The Scriptures do not teach that humans become angels when they die.

3. There is a greater truth for believers.

• 1 John 3:1-3
• Philippians 3:20-21
• 2 Corinthians 5:1-4 (NLT)
• Galatians 4:7; Romans 8:16-17
• 1 Corinthians 6:3
• 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17

4. There is a more tragic truth for unbelievers.

• Philippians 3:18-19
• 2 Thessalonians 1:6-10
• Revelation 20:14-15

Let us not go beyond what is written. What is written provides all the comfort and hope that we need.
