â01CNow, I know that someday I am going to come to what some people will say is the end of this life. They will probably put me in a box and roll me right down here in front of the church, and some people will gather around, and a few people will cry. But I have told them not to do that because I donâ019t want them to cry. I want them to begin the service with the Doxology and end with the Hallelujah chorus, because I am not going to be there, and I am not going to be dead. I will be more alive than I have ever been in my life, and I will be looking down upon you poor people who are still in the land of dying and have not yet joined me in the land of the living. And I will be alive forevermore, in greater health and vitality and joy than ever, ever, I or anyone has known before.â01D

{comment: You don't suppose that this high-profile, Presbyterian
{Protestant} minister and evangelist, knew something about
what the Bible has to say about "death," that 'IBIJ' doesn't{!?}
.. Plus, his {'IBIJ's} predeliction for 'cherry-picking'/mis-
interpreting, various Bible verses to support his belief-system;
which incidentally, is his 'perfect right' to practice!}
