In the past people were buried with the items they would need in the afterlife, what would you want buried with you so you could use it ? [Spirituality & Religion]

@LadyGrace right.. where in the Bible he says that? Would love to read it :)

@Awfullybrave You can’t take anything with you when you die.

No one can bring material wealth into eternity. Heaven and hell don’t have banks or parking garages. Money and belongings aren’t any good to someone six feet under. What you have, won’t change your circumstances when you die. No amount of possessions gives us a better or worse position after life.

Jesus warned us about this when He said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal ...” (Matthew 6:19-20). There is a difference between our possessions in this life and what’s valuable in heaven. The only thing you take with you when you die is your soul, which lives on.

@LadyGrace Thank you for that :) may I please say that the question was not to be taken literally. I wish I can explain what I meent...arrhhhh....let me think 🤔

@Awfullybrave oh, sorry.
