@correct.correct84: #christian Catholics believe that those who die in Christ are indeed often described in Scripture as having "fallen asleep" or "sleeping." However, this refers primarily to the body's death while awaiting the resurrection, not to the soul being unconscious. For example: 1 Thessalonians 4:13–14 speaks of those "who have fallen asleep." John 11:11–14 records Jesus referring to Lazarus as having "fallen asleep" before explaining that he had died. At the same time, Catholic teaching holds that the soul remains alive and conscious after death in communion with Christ: Philippians 1:23 – Paul desires "to depart and be with Christ." 2 Corinthians 5:8 – "Away from the body and at home with the Lord." Luke 23:43 – Jesus tells the repentant thief, "Today you will be with me in Paradise." So a distinctly Catholic way to express the idea would be: "Those who die in Christ have fallen asleep in the body, while their souls are with the Lord as they await the resurrection of the body." #dead #death #fypシ゚v #viral @OSCAR Orlando @God's Son
