It is a sad day for the whole Church of Christ, but as what Bro. Erano Manalo, Ka Erdy always quote "To live is Christ, to die is gain". Truly, he lived a life in Christ and spending all of it in the service of God. His memories will stay in our hearts until we meet the Lord.
You need to come to realize that the Bible is God's word. Since God is perfect, so is His Word. Scripture is with no errors and no faults, no lies.
All of the verses I quoted are complete, perfect, with no error.
You first need to accept this as fact before you call yourself a Christian, otherwise any con artist will tell you lies and you will believe them.
Trust the Holy Scriptures, and NOT what someone tells you. Otherwise you will be conned into believing lies!
7Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Jesus Christ is the gate that we enter through, not the church.
John 10:7
Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.
