1-3. (a) Wanem nao olketa kwestin wea pipol savve garem abaotem man wea dae? (b) Wanem nao samfala religion teachim abaotem man wea dae?

BIBLE sei long future “no eniwan bae dae.” (Revelation 21:4) Long Chapter 5, iumi lanem datfala ransom hem mekem wei for iumi kasem laef olowe. Bat distaem pipol gohed for dae. (Eklesiastes 9:5) So barava important kwestin nao olsem: Wanem nao happen long iumi bihaen iumi dae?

² Maet iu laek for savve long ansa bilong datfala kwestin especially sapos wanfala fren or wanfala long famili hem dae. Maet iu laek for savve: ‘Hem go long wea ia? Waswe, hem savve lukim nomoa wanem mi duim? Waswe, hem savve helpem mi? Waswe, enitaem bae mi lukim hem moa?’

³ Olketa religion garem olketa difren ansa for olketa kwestin hia. Samfala religion teachim sapos iu man wea duim gudfala samting bae iu go long heven, bat sapos iu duim nogud samting bae iu go safa long hellfire. Samfala moa sei bihaen man dae spirit bilong hem go long ples wea olketa long famili wea dae finis olketa stap. Olketa nara religion sei bihaen man dae and kasem judgment, bae hem born moa, and garem difren laef, maet hem change go long wanfala man or long wanfala animal.

4. Wanem nao wanfala main samting wea olketa religion bilivim abaotem man wea dae?

⁴ Nomata olketa religion garem olketa difren  teaching abaotem man wea dae, evri biliv bilong olketa mekhae long wanfala main samting nomoa. Olketa teachim bihaen man hem dae, soul or spirit bilong hem gohed for laef long nara ples. * Waswe, samting wea olketa bilivim hem tru?

5, 6. Bihaen man hem dae, hem hao?

⁵ Jehovah savve long samting wea happen long iumi bihaen iumi dae, and hem sei taem man hem dae, laef bilong hem finis nao. So taem man hem dae, evri feeling and tingting bilong hem no gohed laef moa long eni nara ples. Taem iumi dae iumi no savve lukim, herem, and tingim eni samting tu.

⁶ King Solomon sei “olketa hu i dae finis, olketa nating save long enisamting.” Olketa no savve lovem or heitim narawan, and ‘taem olketa go long ples blong man dae [“grev,” NW], bae olketa no waka, o tingting, o garem save, o garem waes [“wisdom,” NW].’ (Readim Eklesiastes 9:5, 6, 10.) And long Psalm 146:4 hem sei taem man hem dae “tingting bilong hem” (NW) dae tu.

7. Jesus hem sei man wea dae hem hao?

⁷ Taem fren bilong Jesus, Lazarus hem dae, Jesus sei long olketa disaepol: “Fren bilong iumi Lazarus hem sleep nao.” Jesus no minim Lazarus hem rest nomoa,  bikos bihaen hem sei: “Lazarus hem dae nao.” (John 11:11-14) So Jesus sei man wea dae hem olsem hem sleep. Hem no sei Lazarus go long heven or hem go stap long eni ples witim samfala long famili bilong hem wea dae finis. And hem no sei tu Lazarus gohed safa long hellfire, or hem born moa olsem narafala man or animal. Bat hem sei Lazarus hem olsem man wea deepim sleep. Olketa nara scripture storyim man wea dae hem olsem hem deepim sleep. Bible sei bihaen olketa killim dae Stephen “hem sleep nao.” (Acts 7:60, footnote) Aposol Paul tu sei samfala Christian wea dae finis “olketa sleep.”—1 Corinth 15:6, footnote.

8. Hao nao iumi savve God no wakem iumi olketa man for dae?

 ⁸ Waswe, Jehovah wakem Adam and Eve for laef lelebet taem nomoa then dae tu? Nomoa! Jehovah wakem tufala for laef olowe and for garem gudfala health. Jehovah wakem iumi olketa man witim feeling for laek laef olowe. (Ecclesiastes 3:11, NW) Olketa dadi and mami no laek for lukim pikinini bilong olketa kamap olo and dae. Jehovah tu garem sem feeling abaotem iumi. Bat sapos God wakem iumi for laef olowe, why nao iumi dae?

9. Why nao datfala komand wea Jehovah givim long Adam and Eve hem no hard nomoa for obeyim?

⁹ Long garden bilong Eden, Jehovah sei long Adam: “Olketa tri long ples ya, yu save kaikaim frut blong olketa. Bat wanfala tri nomoa hemi stap wea i tambu fo yu kaikaim frut blong hem. Hem nao tri ya wea frut blong hem save givim yu save long olketa wei wea i gud an olketa wei wea i nogud [“tree wea piksarem wei for savve long gud samting and nogud samting,” NW]. Tri ya, sapos yu kaikaim frut blong hem, bae yu dae nao long sem de wea yu kaikaim.” (Jenesis 2:9, 16, 17) Datfala komand hem no hard nomoa for obeyim, and Jehovah hem garem raet for talem Adam and Eve samting wea gud and samting wea nogud. Sapos tufala obeyim Jehovah, datwan showimaot tufala respectim position bilong Jehovah. And tu, tufala bae showimaot tufala tinghae long evri samting wea Jehovah givim long tufala.

10, 11. (a) Wanem samting nao Satan talem for switim Adam and Eve? (b) Why nao iumi savve sei Adam and Eve savve nomoa samting wea tufala duim hem rong?

¹⁰ Sorre samting nao, Adam and Eve disaed for no  obeyim Jehovah. Satan sei long Eve: “?Waswe. Hemi tru wea God hemi bin talem yutufala fo no kaikaim frut blong evri tri long gaden ya?” Eve sei: “Nomoa ya. Mitufala save kaikaim frut blong olketa tri long ples ya, bat wanfala nomoa wea hemi stap long midol long ples ya nao mitufala no kaikaim frut blong hem. God hemi stopem mitufala fo no kaikaim o tasim frut blong hem. An hemi talem sapos mitufala brekem tambu ya, bae mitufala dae.”—Jenesis 3:1-3.

¹¹ Satan sei long Eve: “Yutufala no save dae. Hemi talem olsem bikos hemi save finis sapos yutufala kaikaim frut ya, bae ae blong yutufala i open nao, an bae yutufala kamap olsem hem, wea bae yutufala save long olketa wei wea i nogud an olketa wei wea i gud [“savve long gud and nogud samting,” NW].” (Jenesis 3:4-6) Satan laekem Eve for tingse hemseleva savve disaedem samting wea gud and samting wea nogud. Then hem laea long Eve and sei nomata hem no obeyim Jehovah bae hem no dae. So Eve kaikaim frut bilong datfala tree and hem givim long Adam and hem tu kaikaim datfala frut. Adam and Eve savve Jehovah stopem tufala for no kaikaim frut bilong datfala tree. From tufala duim datwan, tufala no obeyim wanfala komand wea klia and no hard nomoa for obeyim. And tu, tufala no respectim Dadi bilong tufala long heven wea lovem tufala. Tufala savve wanem tufala duim hem rong!

12. Why nao hem barava sorre samting for Adam and Eve disobeyim Jehovah?

¹² Hem barava sorre samting for firstfala dadi and mami bilong iumi for no respectim God wea wakem tufala! Tingim sapos iu waka hard for lukaftarem and trainim son and dota bilong iu then tufala againstim iu  and duim difren samting from wanem iu laekem tufala for duim, hao nao bae iu feel? Datwan hem mas barava brekem heart bilong iu!

13. Taem Jehovah sei ‘bae yu gobaek moa long graon,’ wanem nao hem minim?

¹³ Taem Adam and Eve disobeyim Jehovah, tufala misstim chance for laef olowe. Jehovah sei long Adam: “Mi bin wakem yu long graon ya, an bae yu gobaek moa long hem.” (Readim Jenesis 3:19.) Datwan minim Adam bae hem kamap graon moa, olsem long taem wea God no wakem hem yet. (Jenesis 2:7) Bihaen Adam sin, hem dae and hem nomoa nao.

14. Why nao iumi dae?

¹⁴ Sapos Adam and Eve obeyim God, tufala bae still laef distaem. Bat taem tufala no obeyim God, tufala sin, and gogo tufala dae nao. Sin hem olsem wanfala nogud sik wea iumi kasem from firstfala dadi and mami bilong iumi. Iumi evriwan born witim sin, and datwan nao mekem iumi dae. (Rome 5:12) Bat datwan hem no plan bilong God for iumi olketa man. God no laekem iumi for dae, and Bible sei dae hem wanfala “enemy.”—1 Corinth 15:26.

15. Hao nao truth long Bible abaotem olketa wea dae finis hem mekem iumi free?

¹⁵ Truth long Bible hem mekem iumi free  from staka biliv bilong pipol wea no stret abaotem man wea dae finis. Iumi lanem long Bible olketa wea dae finis no feelim eni pain or feel sorre. Iumi no savve story witim olketa, and olketa no savve story witim iumi tu. Iumi no savve helpem olketa, and olketa tu no savve helpem iumi. Olketa no savve spoelem iumi, so iumi shud no fraetem olketa. Bat staka religion sei man wea dae finis hem go stap long nara ples and olketa sei sapos iumi laek helpem man wea dae finis iumi savve givim selen long olketa priest or long olketa nara bigman long church. Bat taem iumi savve tru samting wea Bible teachim abaotem olketa wea dae finis, iumi kamap free from olketa biliv olsem wea no stret.

16. Wanem laea teaching nao staka religion teachim abaotem olketa wea dae finis?

¹⁶ Satan iusim olketa false religion for laea long iumi and for mekem iumi tingse olketa wea dae finis olketa still laef yet. Olsem example, samfala religion teachim bihaen man hem dae, soul or spirit bilong hem gohed for laef long nara ples. Waswe, religion bilong iu hem teachim datwan, or hem teachim iu samting wea Bible talem abaotem olketa wea dae finis? Satan iusim olketa laea teaching for mekem pipol no worshipim Jehovah.

17. Why nao datfala teaching wea sei pipol bae bone long hellfire hem barava spoelem Jehovah?

¹⁷ Samting wea staka religion teachim abaotem olketa wea dae finis hem barava no stret. Olsem example, samfala sei pipol wea duim nogud samting bae gohed for bone long hellfire for olowe. Kaen laea teaching olsem hem barava spoelem Jehovah. Hard tumas for Jehovah duim samting olsem for mekem pipol safa!  (Readim 1 John 4:8.) Hao nao tingting bilong iu abaotem dadi wea bonem hand bilong pikinini bilong hem long fire for panisim hem? Maet bae iu sei man olsem hem krangge and raf tumas. Bae iu no laek for savve long hem. Satan laekem iumi for tingse Jehovah hem kaen man olsem!

18. Why nao iumi shud no fraetem olketa wea dae finis?

¹⁸ Samfala religion sei bihaen man dae hem savve change and kamap wanfala spirit. Olketa sei iumi mas respectim olketa spirit and hem fitim for iumi fraetem olketa bikos olketa savve helpem iumi or spoelem iumi. Staka pipol nao bilivim datfala laea teaching. From pipol fraetem olketa wea dae finis, olketa worshipim olketa and no worshipim Jehovah. Hem gud for no forgetim olketa wea dae finis no savve tingim or feelim eni samting, so iumi shud no fraetem olketa. Jehovah nao wakem iumi. Hem nao trufala God and iumi shud worshipim hem nomoa.—Revelation 4:11.

19. Wanem gud samting nao iumi kasem taem iumi savve long truth abaotem pipol wea dae finis?

¹⁹ Taem iumi savve long truth abaotem pipol wea dae finis, iumi free from olketa laea teaching bilong olketa false religion. And tu, datwan helpem iumi for minim olketa nambawan samting wea Jehovah promis for duim long future.

20. Wanem nao bae iumi lanem long nextfala chapter?

²⁰ Long bifor, Job wea hem faithful long God, hem sei: “?Waswe, sapos man hemi dae, bae hemi save laefbaek moa?” (Job 14:14) Waswe, man wea dae finis fit for laef bak moa? Ansa wea God talem long Bible hem barava interesting. Bae iumi lanem datwan long nextfala chapter.
