Beyond The Grave And Afterlife

From the earliest times people refused to accept death as the end of everything.Even Neanderthals who were a branch of Homo sapiens and became extinct about 35,000 years ago,organized funeral for their deceased.In some cases they put flowers on grave.Later,hunters from ice age,sometimes buried their dead with ornaments and weapons for use in the afterlife, and sprinkled them with red ocher, which is perhaps supposed to symbolize the blood of the new birth.In some farming communities, the body of the deceased would have been exposed to them completely clean by vultures to the bone, and then the bones were buried in the ovaries of family houses.In Pre-Dinastyc Egypt, the custom was to dig the dead in the desert where the sand prevente decay and preserve the skin and hair.That perhaps pointed Egyptians to the practice of mummification.

Hi,

Very interesting.

I can tell you this, that all the weapons in the world won't protect a person if they die in their sins, without coming to Jesus first for forgiveness, as there is a real hell, and a heaven, too. Jesus will also safely get us to heaven, if we come to Him in full repentance of our sins.
The worst thing in the world that can happen to a person, is that they would die in their sins.

"There is no other name given among men, whereby we must be saved"

God Bless

It's really interesting to see how people always had the need to burry their dead with dignity and respect. Some of the best literature has been inspired by deaths and funerals!

We don't know much about the earliest beliefs of our distant ancestors. It is reasonable to conclude that they probably had some kind of belief in spirits, not unlike primitive tribes in today's world. Organized religions in today's world presume to have the answers to what lies beyond death, but relegates their philosophies to faith, rather than offering concrete evidence of these schools of thoughts.
The earliest pantheistic philosophies (Greek) and later, more inclusive versions, may perhaps have more relevance to the custom of Neanderthals' burying their dead and sometimes covering the bodies with flowers. The concept of life after death has its roots in the fear of the finality of death and is the basis for all religions or belief systems.

The question as to whether humans are genetically disposed to believe in life after death and thus invents belief systems because of that is an interesting question.

I could not have closed on my first home without Mr, Pedro! Pedro and his team went above and beyond for me on this transaction. He handled my very tight turnaround time with ease and was always available for me when I had questions (and I had plenty), even when he was away from the office, which I greatly appreciated! He and his team handled many last-minute scrambles with the seller and worked tirelessly to make sure that I could close before my lease (and my down payment assistance, for that matter) expired. Mr. Pedro is an incredibly knowledgeable Loan Officer, courteous, and patient. I went through a couple of offers on properties before my final purchase and Pedro was there to help with each one, often coordinating with my agent behind the scenes. I felt supported throughout the entire process. Thanks to Pedro and the tireless efforts of his team, I am now a proud homeowner! I would encourage you to consider Pedro and his loan company for any kind of loan.
