Your loved ones are remembered by your good memories you cherish of
them. If they were believers of Christ, you have a right to rejoice in
them for they are in the third heavenly realm as we speak. Then if you
are a believer of Christ, you will also see your loved ones again.
Proverbs 10:7
The memory of the righteous will be a blessing,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
When it was spoken, "let the dead bury the dead," it was in revelation
to following Christ. If you put loved ones ahead of the love for
Christ, or do not follow Christ because you are more concerned about
loved ones, or your love is stronger for relatives than for Christ,
then it is that you are counted among the dead and your relatives are
the same state.
Luke 14:26
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his
wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own
life--he cannot be my disciples."
I do not believe that photographes are graven images of God unless
they depict an image that perceive is of God or Christ. If you have
any photographes that depict a person to perceive the picture is of
God or Christ, it is to be thrown out. We are not to think of God or
Christ an image conceived my imagery. We humiliate God and Christ when
a person might have a picture and ask who they believe it to be and
the person responds Christ or God. Then it is a conceived graven image
of God for we do not know or understand or perceive what the true
image of God is. I perceive God as the force, energy, and power of the
universe. Who can conceive a picture of imagery of the power, energy,
and force of the universe. Likewise, Christ, I perceive the image of
what is written in the Bible.
Daniel 7:9
As I looked, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took
his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was
white like wool, His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were
all ablaze.
Revelation 1:13-15
13and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man," dressed in
a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his
chest. 14His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow,
and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15His feet were like bronze
glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing
waters.
With that description of Christ, who can perceive an image of Christ
that would humiliate him in a picture? Throw out all pictures that
depict an image to be perceived as Christ and let your faith reign for
an image that can only be imagined in our minds what Christ will look
like in that day of glory.
