Thanatology - What is that?

When my husband did one of his research papers on Life after Death, "Thanatology, Death the beginning of Life."

Thanatos was a Greek little entity in mythology that personified death.  Thanatology then is the study of death.

While I don't want to get into the dying process I would like to chat about what I think happens after death.  Being in a field where we have encountered death and dear death experiences of many souls, I am convinced that there is no real death. The only thing that dies is the body.  The Soul and Spirit remains. 

John 5:24 says, "He that hears my word  and believes on Him that sent me, has everlasting life and shall not come into condemnaton; but is passed from death unto life."

Romans 8:2 "For the Law of the Spirit of LIfe in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death."

Is there someone in the Bible that never died? Yes Enoch.  Heb. 11:5 "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him; for before his translation, he had this testimony, that he pleased God."

Will we have this testimony as well?  Will we be able to be translated as Enoch was?  Nothing is impossible with God.

Col. 1:13 "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of his DEAR SON."

There are four places that I found caught up in the New Testament, " II Cor. 12:2, II Cor. 12:4, Rev. 12:5

I thess. 4:17, "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

So, in conclusion, when we understand the meaning of death and we allow Jesus Christ into our hearts, that is the beginning of Life.
