Subject: 2 Cor. 5:8 taken out of context |
Bible Note: Thank you for responding to my post. Thousands of scholars will not agree with me. And that's okay. One thing is for sure: we all are going to find out. It is appointed man once to die, then there is a judgement. Whether we sleep as Jesus calls it, or we are awake before our judgement, it is for certain we all will know by and by! I was brought up learning that when a saint is taken from this world in death, he is ushered to his just award. But, that would make the verse that refers to our dieing and going to judgement false. God's Word is not false anywhere. No contradictions anywhere. So I must be wrong. I don't mind sleep. Sleep is good. If it is called soul sleep, I guess I believe in soul sleep now. Whether I sleep or am awake I am in the presence of the LORD and under His Provision and Protection. And there ain't nothing wrong with that! |
