Will Angels Escort Us To Heaven? (Response)

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Diane asks "What about the parable in Luke 16:22 in which JESUS SAYS IN HIS OWN WORDS, "So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom." Don't you think that if Jesus himself alone were carrying the beggar to Abraham's Bosom, he would have said so in the parable? If Jesus says something in a parable, is it no less a true indication of what happens at death? I agree that angels accompany Jesus when a believer dies and is taken to Heaven, and I think that it is believable that angels may be carrying believers at Jesus' instruction. I can't visualize what the believer's soul might look like at death, but it must be tangible enough to be carried by angels.""

Why Do Some Get To See Jesus Before They Die?

In this episode Dr. Betters answers the question, "Why would our 'spirit's' need to go to heaven first, only to be somehow reunited at some future point at the resurrection?

How Do I Look At My Daughter And Not See Her Sister Who Died?

In this episode Dr. Betters answers the question, "Robert asked, Hi Dr Betters-I just want to say I stumbled upon your videos and I am so glad I did as I believe there are a lot of people out there that need clarity with what the bible says and how they can apply it to their everyday life, me being one of those people. Back in 2013, my 4 yr old daughter passed away and my life has changed as you can attest to. I was not a Christian at the time but that all changed after her passing. I have been baptized and accepted the Lord as my savior. My heart still is heavy though especially on days like today which was her birthday. The Lord has blessed me with two more children and I do grieve with the hope that I will see her again, but it still hurts deep inside. I guess my question to you is how do i look at my now 3 yr old daughter and try not to think of my other daughter who passed at almost the same age. It seems very unfair to my 3 yr old but it is the reality of life."
