Question:<\/p>\n
I want to know\u00a0how is it correct to proceed as Christians according to the Gospel when we are given alms for the dead?<\/em> To receive or not receive what we are given?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Understand the\u00a0concepts<\/h2>\n
The word \u201calms\u201d comes from the Russian \u201cpamiti\u201d (memory) or \u201cpominati\u201d (to recall) and shows the significance ment by Christians initially,\u00a0i.e to be a gift that is given in memory of a dead person,\u00a0to remember him\/her. The concept of\u00a0commemoration degenerated considerably and came to be one more pagan than Christian, because many believe that when they \u201cdole for one\u2019s\u00a0soul\u201d, their gifts get in a\u00a0miraculous way to the souls of the dead.<\/p>\n
Behave with respect<\/h2>\n
Because you\u00a0do not know what the one\u00a0that gives alms to you means about\u00a0it, it is important to clarify, but do so respectfully. Some evangelical Christians\u00a0refuse categorically to receive\u00a0alms without explaining and then people who wanted to\u00a0give and\u00a0who are, the most frequent cases, their relatives, they feel offended and humble. Be a wise man and behave yourself with all due respect. Rather than refuse the first time, you better take advantage of this opportunity and \u2026<\/p>\n
Share the\u00a0Gospel<\/h2>\n
When I am invited to go to a burial feast, from the beginning I\u00a0ask those who invite us to give us alms\u00a0in the name of Jesus Christ and in the memory of the deceased<\/strong> person <\/strong>and to say exactly this when\u00a0they give\u00a0it. Almost always people ask surprised : \u201cWhy?\u201d. Thus\u00a0I can explain and tell them that I want them to say so because this is the significance\u00a0of alms\u00a0and let people\u00a0not\u00a0think that the things they receive in memory of the deceased can somehow get in\u00a0a miraculous\u00a0way\u00a0to him\u00a0in that world. And if\u00a0they want to tell them how to reach the kingdom of heaven, and what they have to do for\u00a0this, I will do this gladly.<\/p>\n
Another time I was at a\u00a0burial feast\u00a0where we\u00a0had not managed\u00a0to tell them that beforehand and\u00a0when they came to give me\u00a0a knot-shaped bread\u00a0with the lit candle and said: \u201cReceive it for the soul of the certain\u00a0person \u2026\u201d I\u00a0took the\u00a0candles and the\u00a0bread and even then I said the following to people:<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks for this alms\u00a0that\u00a0I get in the name of the Lord Jesus for\u00a0commemoration of\u00a0the deceased.<\/em> She will not receive any food nor the light of the candles.<\/em> But these two things have\u00a0to remind us all present, that Jesus is the true Bread of life and that only through faith in Him and repentance we may have eternal life.<\/em> The lit<\/em> candle light is the true light that\u00a0only Lord Jesus can give us.<\/em> He said of Himself that He is the light of the world.<\/em> Believe with all your\u00a0heart in the Lord Jesus to have part of the true Bread of life and Light of the world! \u201c<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Usually it causes a good\u00a0discussion when people ask more questions and I can explain in detail the message of the Gospel of\u00a0Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
