David Have you been hanging around Jehovah Witnesses you sure sound like a advocate for soul sleep. I'll tell you what I tried to explain to you what occurred on the cross as documented by the bible, secular history, the medical community, and researchers but if you want to believe a bunch of guys on the internet tying each on a cross in an effort to duplicate actual crucifixion okay! They sound like trustworthy experts. I also thank you for your advice to study the Bible, that is what I intend to do as it seems more profitable than to try to reason with you. EdB |

I'm sorry. I thought you would be interested in an intellectual study of what the Bible might say about the state of the dead. If you want to insult me and be sarcastic and ignore the texts I supplied for you then that's up to you. I wish you well anyway. God bless and I hope you will come to the truth soon. You won't listen to me about it so I guess this discussion is at an end. Sorry. And no, I'm not a Jehovah's Witness. I believe that Jesus is my Creator (not a created being). |

David I think you threw the first insult by telling how I needed to study. To me that was an attempt to insinuate that you were better studied than me. If I took it wrong I apologize. Also I would love to have an intellectual decision on this subject, however your exegesis of John 20:17 is incorrect as supportted by Eph 4:8 Hebrews 9:12-14 and the Greek language itself. I tried to point that out and you refused to accept it. I also tried to show you that what Jesus said in the parable of Luke 16 followed the accepted teaching of the death and the dwelling place of the dead in Jewish culture. Therefore if Luke 16 is incorrect then Jesus either was not aware this was the common teaching or he sought to reinforce a false teaching. To disprove this you used proof texts in an attempt to prove your point ripping them out of context and violating their real meaning. The statement, “If the saved in "Abraham's bosom" all accompanied Jesus at His ascension then why is King David still in his grave and has not ascended into heaven? Acts 2:29 and 34” . Tells me you either do not know or do not understand the relationship of the body and soul upon death as defined by orthodox Christianity. Your argument violates the last 2000 years of teaching within Christianity and to me is not worth discussing. I attempted to discuss crucifixion with you but you cite me some students on the web tried this. What about recorded history. Rome and crucifixion wasn’t so long ago that we don’t have any record secular information on the subject. Many Roman historians have written on the subject. For me to throw out all the legitimate research that has been done on this subject in favor of some students on the internet would to me show I do not consider the subject of value. I think it best we let this subject drop. As I said I thank you for your advice to continue to study the Bible. EdB |

EdB, read what the OT prophets have said concerning the state of the dead. Then tell me what the parable of the rich man and Lazarus means. Until then I agree that there is no reason for us to continue this discussion. | ||||||
