Furthermore, because it is better for man to be in what is evil and in
the same time in what is false than to be in good and at the same time
in evil, therefore the Lord permits it; not as one willing it, but as
one unable to prevent it consistently with the end, which is
salvation.
--_Divine Providence, n._ 16
DEATH AND THE RESURRECTION
"I laid me down and slept:
I awaked: for the Lord sustained me."
--_Psalm,_ III, 5
"Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the
bush, when he called the Lord the God of Abraham, and the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob: for He is not a God of
the dead, but of the living; for to Him all are living."
--_Luke_, XX, 37, 38
IMMORTAL BY ENDOWMENT
Man has been so created that as to his inward being he cannot die; for
he can believe in God, and also love God, and thus be united to God in
faith and love; and to be united to God is to live to eternity.
--_Heavenly Doctrine, n._ 223
FROM WORLD TO WORLD
When the body is no longer able to perform its functions in the
natural world, a man is said to die.
