• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

We all will die, after that what happens?

And I believe that since you believe in PURAGTORY , then that is your INTERMEDIATE STATE , but there is no Greek word for PURAGTORY .
There is a Greek word for purgatory, and a Latin one too; as well as English. But it isn't an important issue, if you you mean is that there's no verse that says, "you shall go to purgatory", because that's true enough. But since purgatory is the means by which a person transition from their imperfect state at the time of their earthly death to the perfect state in which they appear before God to be received into his presence in heaven then everybody knows and believes in purgatory, yourself included, but you may prefer to think of it as an instantaneous transformation rather than a process. That is, of course, up to you. I never worry too much about how others imagine that transition to be/work.

This question "what happens after a person dies?"
They shock you, then they revive and resuscitate you, then they expect you to act normal like nothing happened. Then maybe they will let you go home instead of making you stay in bed hooked up to wires and tubes. The more normal you act the quicker your chance is of getting out of there. The main objective is: Don't Complain no matter how much they want to poke you and jab you.

Near death isn't death; is it?
Death is not death until the body is too rotted to revive.
  1. Heart: Typically, a heart can be preserved for about 4 to 6 hours outside the body before transplantation.
  2. Lungs: Lungs can be preserved for 4 to 6 hours, although advancements in preservation techniques may extend this duration.
  3. Liver: The liver can usually be preserved for 8 to 12 hours, or even longer with advanced preservation methods and technologies.
  4. Kidneys: Kidneys can last longer outside the body compared to other organs. They can usually be preserved for 24 to 36 hours before transplantation.
  5. Pancreas: A pancreas can generally be preserved for around 12 to 18 hours.
  6. Intestines: Intestinal organs have a shorter preservation window and can usually be preserved for 6 to 8 hours.
It's essential to minimize the time an organ spends outside the body to ensure its viability and success in transplantation. Advancements in organ preservation techniques, transportation logistics, and medical technologies continue to improve the duration of viability for organs outside the body, increasing the potential for successful transplants.
