"Soul-sleep" conflicts with the gospel Nolan: "Other distinctive SDA [Seventh Day Adventist] teachings include . . . the doctrine of “soul sleep,” a misnomer for the belief that between death and resurrection one is essentially non-existent except in the memory of God; the annihilation of the wicked (as opposed to conscious torment for eternity). "The soul-sleep doctrine conflicts with the gospel because, closely examined and fully understood, it actually constitutes a denial of the resurrection (though it is doubtful any SDA understands it to be so). Notwithstanding a smattering of “proof-texts,” the annihilation doctrine is definitely aberrant from the teaching of the Bible. It leaves the sinner facing no eternal consequences for his sin; angst over annihilation will not survive annihilation. Indeed, many people today think annihilation preferable to even this life. They live on only because they cannot shake the conviction that there is “hell to pay.” God has set eternity in their hearts (Eccl. 3:11)" (www.watchman.org/profile/sdapro.htm). kalos |

Greetings Kalos! Thank you for the information on "soul sleep" and I appreciate your 'watchful eye' on the Seventh Day Adventists.. It would be pretty hard for me to recognize their beliefs in a post, since I know hardly anything at all about them. Grace to you! Nolan |
