4 Deadly
Myths
ere are four myths about what
happens when people die:
1. Good people go to heaven
when they die.
2. When they die, good people become
angels who watch over their loved ones.
3. People who die become ghosts.
4. People who are alive can talk with
people who have died.
This week’s Factory gives some good
factual comebacks you can use if you ever
hear these lies.
While some of these beliefs may comfort
people when their loved ones die, I find my
greatest comfort in knowing that my loved
ones and I will experience the journey to
heaven together. When Jesus returns, “the
dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we
who are still alive and are left will be caught
up together with them in the clouds to meet
the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the
Lord forever” (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17, NIV).
In this week’s Guide magazine, we
have put together some stories and facts
to help you better understand and share
the truth about death. I hope you find
these truths comforting.
Your friend,
Laura Samano, MANAGING EDITOR
