He was unsaved. He will be in hell forever. How can I ever be happy again, even in Heaven, knowing that he is suffering forever? It will put a huge damper on my joy. we never know the thoughts of another prson ,,, and we are told in the new test. that we are not to contemplate who is going where ,,, dont be convinced in your heart brother that hes going to hell,,, but be convinced in your heart that jesus will do that which is right and you will be in agreement with him our lord when the whole picture is revealed to you all is well heresyhunter love in christ arrow from god Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing, it doesn't take but just a minute to ask GOD to save you... Who knows in the last few minutes of his life, that he didn't ask... Just comfort yourself with that... I lost a brother at 35 from a massive heart attack, and I wondered about him... But he lived, though in a coma for 10 days before he died....Who knows what transpired before he died.... We can hope.... God bless you and yours... Not to give you false hope, but we really can't say what happens in a person's heart and soul.... Some that we "just know" are saved, maybe not be...

I haven't been to worthy forums for 3 months, but came here 2day to get my mind off things. I will rejoice in the Lord always, because I choose to. God bless, Andrew (being molded).

My brother passed away also and it is very hard .. I would like to ask you to think about reading a couple of little books when you are feeling a little more like reading .. I would send them to you if I could.. One is the Great Divorce and the other is A Grief Observed, both by C.S. Lewis Lord bless your heart and may He fill you with His peace and comfort ...

One thing that you can be sure about is that you don't know if your brother called out to Him just before he died. We can never know who is with God and who is not. We can only hope for the best for those we love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you can do is trust God to know what is best. Nothing that happens in unknown to God, and He comforts us in our times of sorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
