1 | after death, right then, what? | Bible general Archive 1 | farout | 46801 | ||
I am questioning my view of death. For most of my life I have been taught that upon my death I would be in heaven. However I recently heard a speaker say that we stay in a state of waiting to be raised when Christ returns. I can read where sleep is refered to as death. When it says in the N.T. concerning those who have fallen asleep. I feel rather ignorant, because I have studied this, and felt I had the answer. Now, I am not so sure. I would like some feed back, as this is sorta bugging me. Thanks for your input. Peace, farout |

farout, The Jehovah Witnesses , some Seventh Day Adventists and some others teach a doctrine of "soul sleep" after death until the Last Judgement at which time the souls of the damned are annihilated rather than sent to eternal punishment in hell. This is in oposition to 2,000 years of Christian Tradition and biblical interpretation. So what then is the punishment of God's Judgement if the evil and unsaved are merely "soul sleeping" and then spiritually "put to sleep" for all eternity, so to speak, by the total annihilation of the soul? What is the point of all Jesus' teching about the torments and fires of hell? I suppose there can be those who believe in "soul sleep" and then eternal Hell for the damned, but I have not encountered them. And why weren't Moses and Elijah sleeping in Mattg 17:1-8? Misbehaving kids I suppose, not going to sleep when they were told to. Emmaus |

I agree with you that there are religions that taught that the hell is just a grave and not an everlasting fire. But can you explain these verse: Ge 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Here God mentioned to adam that when he die he will go back to dust, there is no anything mentioned here about heaven nor hell. If we use some logic, granting that adam will go to hell, do you think it is not unjust to bring the soul of anyone to the punishment that he had no idea? God did not mentioned to adam that if he will not obey God he will go to hell or go to heaven if he obey. The original plan really to adam and eve is to stay in eden forever and ever. Did God change that plan? Even moises in his teaching he never mentioned to the isralites that thier soul has destination heaven or hell. Do you think it is not unjust to them if someone go to hell, they have no idea about those punishment! Kindly explain my points, God bless, Johnny |

jpangilinan, It was the breath of God that gave man his life, not the earth from which God created his body. Gen 2:7 7: then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. The breath of God, the spirit or soul of man, does not die. And the Resurrection of the body is the promise of Jesus' Resurrection. 1Cor 15:12-19 12: Now if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13: But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; 14: if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15: We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16: For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. 17: If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18: Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19: If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied. Jesus was not unconcious in the spirit when he died, but alive in another realm where he preached to the inprisoned spirits of the dead. 1 Peter 3:18-4:6. 18: For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit; 19: in which he went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20: who formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water....

In genesis when God talk to adam He did not specify to adam which part of adam will go back to dust, what we have is conclusions. You did not answers my questions clearly about the punishment that adam did not know, and even moses did not taught to Israel that they soul has destiny heaven, or hell. lets consider them that they go to hell do you think it is not unjust to bring soul of anyone to the punishment that he dont have any idea? God bless, Johnny |

Johnny, I think you will have to take up your questions with Jesus, since He was the person who preached the most about hell of all the people in the bible. I think that means we are supposed to take it seriously and that it is real. Justness (fairness)and justice are management issues. I am in sales. Emmaus |
