Hi CDBJ. Luke 16: 19-31 is a parable. This is even specifically stated as beinga parable. The words in a parable are not to be taken literally. This parable simply teaches that sending one back from the dead would not be a help in saving anyone. We have to row with what we have from the prophets and from Christ. The part of this passage that is parable, is the way the teaching is presented as though the dead converse with each other. The parable does not teach that the dead know something, but the teaching is that no one will be sent back from the dead to save us. I did state that Jesus did rise from the dead, in an earlier posting you responeded to. The parable above no moresays that the dead know something, than the parable of 10 virgins means there were actually ten virgins involved in the teaching. This parable is not about virgins, buut about being ready for the day Christ returns, and not to be surprised being in a wrong state when He arrives. Just as the parable of the 10 virgins is not about virgins, the parable of Lazarus and the rich man is not really about the dead, but the living being instructed no one will be brought from the dead to teach us about everlasting life or warn us about everlasting death. There is no verse that I canthink of that contradicts that statement "the dead know nothing" nor can there be. Because the same Spirit that taught Solomon that the dead know nothing taught Paul that dying is not really as big a deal as many think, and that from tme of death to the resurrection seems but a nano second. Sincerely Henry and Emmy We believe Christ is God by the way. |

Just for starters a proper name is never given in a parable, i.e. Luke 16:19-31 The fallacious doctrine of soul sleep has been highly debated on this forum and all of its advocates have either fallen asleep or stepped out of the picture because they were not able to cope with the myriad of Scriptures that that refute their thesis. Type the words “soul sleep” in the search screen on the upper right section of the home screen and it will eliminate a lot of wasted effort and if you cease from your paradigm paralysis you might see the scope of Psalm 119:160 The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth for ever. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Hi CDBJ: I am not one to argue, but to converse truthfully and logically. Comment on sleep. When a person dies, the body does not sleep, it decays to dust. 1Corr 15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed; This passage says we shall not all sleep, suggesting that some of not most do This cannot be refering to the body sleeping, but the only other part of human existence namely the soul. You say you have many passages that contradict soul sleep. Perhaps you are misinterpreting them by applying the incorrect premise that there is no soul sleep. I assure you that any you can send have a logical interpretation with the premise that there is soul sleep. I do not wish to simply argue any points for the sake of arguement, but will send you my interpretation on any passage that you think say there is no soul sleep, should you be interested. Sincerely Henry and Emmy |
