WEAR BLACK-MOST PEOPLE THINK THEY SHOW RESPECT BY CRYING OVER THE DEPARTED. THE WORLD TEACHES PEOPLE ARE TO WEAR BLACK AND CRY WHEN SOMEONE DIES. THIS IS A FORM OF LEGALISM. THEY DID THIS WHEN JESUS WALKED THE EARTH. IN THOSE TIMES, THE RICH WOULD PAY PEOPLE TO COME MOURN OVER THEIR DEAD. SCRIPTURES SAY THE DEATH OF A CHRISTIAN IS PERCIOUS IN GODS' SIGHT. (PS. 116:15) THE WORD OF GOD TEACHES YOU CRY FOR A BIRTH AND REJOICE IN A DEATH. (ECCL. 7:1) KING DAVID CRIED FOR HIS SON DURING THE CHILDS' SICKNESS. UPON THE CHILDS' DEATH, KING DAVID REJOICED AND ATE. (IISAM. 12:21)
IN MODERN CHRISTIAN CIRCLES, EVERYONE GRIEVES FOR THE CHILD BORN INTO A WORLD OF SIN AND OFFER UP PRAYERS. A CHRISTIAN IS TO CELEBRATE A PERSONS' DEATH FOR THEY'VE LEFT THE WAYS OF SIN ON EARTH. MANY MODERN CHRISTIANS HAVE A PARTY NOT A WAKE. CHRISTIANS WEAR FESTIVES COLOR AND HAVE MUSIC AT THE PARTY OF THE DECEASED. THEY REJOICE THEIR LOVED ONE HAS LEFT THE BATTLEFIELD AND HAS GONE TO REST IN THE LORD. THESE PEOPLE KNOW DEATH IS NOT A GOODBYE FOR THEIR LOVED ONE. THESE CHRISTIANS REALIZE THEY'LL SEE THEIR LOVED ONE UP IN HEAVEN FOR A REUNION.
