1 | What happens to our soul when we die? | Luke 12:20 | mark d seyler | 156756 | ||
Sboone, Of course the soul is immortal! Isa 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. There are many more scriptures that attest to this. Spiritism/Spiritualism is nothing new. It was prohibited in the law, and practiced throughout the history of the pagan world. It was recorded in the time of King Saul, as he sought counsel from the dead prophet Samuel. 1Th 5:10 (of Jesus) "Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him." There is no "disolution of life". Our flesh sleeps, our spirit either awaits eternal judgment, of the condemned, or lives with Jesus, of the redeemed. Love in Christ, mark |

2 | What happens to our soul when we die? | Luke 12:20 | SBoone | 156799 | ||
Good Morning Mark, I must respectfully disagree that "of course the soul is immortal". The bible never says "Immortal soul", but it does refer to man as mortal several times (see Job 10:5 ; Ps 146:3 ; Is 13:12 ; Lam 3:39 ; Dan 2:11 ; Rom 6:12 ; Rom 8:11 ; 1 Cor 15:53,54 ; 2 Cor 4:11 ; 2 Cor 5:4 ; Heb 7:8) In reference to Is 66:24 I would suggest that the fire that can not be quenched means that the destruction is certain. There is no chance that that fire will be put out until all is destroyed. You will find the same language in Is 34:1-10 in regard to the destruction of Edom. Edom is not still burning today, but rather it burned until there was nothing left. I would say that Mt 25:46 means the punishment is everlasting (Death is the puhishment). They will never escape from death. They will be dead forever. Remember the soul that sins shall die (Eze 18:4). Also check out Jude 7. Here Sodom and Gomorrah are exhibited as an "example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire". They still do not burn today, but rather they burned until they were burned up. 1 Sam 1:22 Hannah took Samuel to serve in the temple "forever" (which meant until his death). Even Satan himself will eventually be completely destroyed (Ez 28:18,19). David says in Ps 37:10 that the wicked will be no more. Mal 4:1 says there will be neither root nor branch left. Ps 145:20 says the wicked will be destroyed. Mt 10:28 says we should fear Him who destroys the soul. Rev 20:9 says that hell fire "devours". Just some point to consider. I will pray that the Lord guides me to the truth in you comments. After all it is His truth not ours. May the Lord bless your study Mark. SBoone |

Hello SBoone, You are changing the normal understanding of words to conform to your theology. Feel free to assume that Scripture means what it says. Rev 14:9-11 (ESV) And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name." Steve |

Hi Mark, Is 34:9,10 uses the same wording as the verse in Rev 14:9-11, regarding the destruction of Edom. Smoke goes up forever, and with burning that will not be quenched night or day. If after you have thoughtfully and prayerfully considered all the texts on both side of this issue and you can honestly tell yourself (in your heart)that you accept the scriptures as the word of God whether it is in harmony with our theology or not, then you are truly a disciple of Christ (John 8:31,32). I believe this allows room for disagreements in love. As Christians we can agree to disagree and pray for one another that we will be lead by the Spirit to a fuller understanding of scripture (which I understand may be me and I keep 1 Cor 2:13 to heart "which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining the spiritual thoughts with spiritual words"). God Bless |

Hello SBoone, Now you are taking words out of context to make them equivalent. I cannot agree to disagree with one who takes a dishonest view of Scripture. Steve |

6 | What happens to our soul when we die? | Luke 12:20 | SBoone | 156839 | ||
You are absolutely correct. We don't agree to disagree on false theology. Titus 1:9 says "Holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctine and to refute those who contradict. Mark too pointed out that I was misunderstanding the true nature of what was happening in Is 34. Thank you for setting me straight. I am sorry my ingnorance led to this error. Please forgive me. God Bless, SBoone |

SBoone - Having spent more than four years on this Forum, I've had the occasion to observe thousands of posts. This has led me to wonder at a number of phenomena, prime among them being the frequency, the absolute certainty, and even the cavalier flair with which some registrants dash off their posts in rapid-fire staccato fashion on highly complex issues about which oceans of theologically oriented tomes have been written by venerable scholars over many years. It seems prudent for non-swimmers to stay out of deep water, and for the less learned to absorb knowledge than attempt to impart it. --Hank | ||||||

Your point is well taken. I certainly apologize if my posts appear to be "cavalier" in any way. Thank you SBoone |
