Hi Val: Soul Sleep, who cares what happens in the Grave, to the Body of the Flesh. It will be raised with an incorruptible body, It is irrelevant, what happens, after death. You can call it sleep if you want, that will give you a good understanding of the whole process. When you die, TIME STOPS. Exactly the same as when you sleep at night, you might sleep for 1, 5, or 10 hrs. you are unaware of the passage of time, to your mind it was a second, almost instantaneous. The same in death, 1, 10, 10,000 yrs. a second, almost instantaneous. Knowing this, and understanding it, does it really matter what happens, during the time your flesh, is in the grave ? The reason there isn't any definitive answer on this question, is because it is irrelevant to your Salvation. Belief in Soul Sleep, doesn't add, or subtract, from what YOU did in your flesh, while you were ALIVE. So I say believe, don't believe. 6 of 1 -- 1/2 of another. 2 Cor. 5:6-8 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Ps. to stop any misunderstandings, I only posted this to you because your post is the most recient on the subject, it isnt personal,towards you. In Christ Jim |

Dear Jim, Bible students may sincerely differ on some doctrinal issues. In the case of "Soul Sleep" (or Conditional Immorality) it is our position that the doctrine contradicts the balanced survey of New Testament teachings, and especially the Words of Jesus. - Tal Davis, NAMB, SBC, Website 4truth.net |
