Well lets go over a verse that many who advocate the soul is immortal use to point out the distinction between soul and body. Lets take a look at Matthew 10:28: Matthew 10:28 "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy...

Lets go over the story of the Witch of Endor and Saul, but lets see what the real Samuel told Saul before this... 1 Samuel 15:18-28 18 And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed. 19 Wherefore...

When a living breathing creature (a soul) ceases to breath he is asleep, he is "dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day, and is not ascended into the heavens” Acts 2:29,34. They "do not remember God." Psalms 6:5 "The dead do not praise the Lord." Psalms 115:17 "Their thoughts...

But what does the Bible say, rather than relying on ideas or traditions of man, we need to go by Gods Word.

Now lets go over the 'bosom of Abraham' as it was clearly a parable. Josephus left on record a “Discourse to the Greeks Concerning Hades,” which illuminates Jesus’ Dives and Lazarus story. Not only does it parallel Christ’s narration, showing that it was based on a current Jewish belief, but it...

It doesn't matter what denomination we are, it is Gods truth which He gives us in His Word that we need to grasp and understand, not dogma or tradition. Here is more on Luther, which I didn't get a chance to include... "Archdeacon Blackburne's incisive summation of Luther's position was this...

There is a lot of misunderstanding on this, especially the "bosom of Abraham" but lets go through it and see what scripture shows us. Let me put something that I just came across on Martin Luther that relates to this. "A careful analysis of Martin Luther’s writings reveals more than 300...

The early church held to this belief at the time of the apostles as it was the original Christian teaching and later as we can see, theological arguments based on this belief were also used to contest the Roman Catholic doctrine of purgatory and masses for the dead. Now if there was ever a man...

This is not an easy subject, but we must understand what scripture gives us and discern. God cannot reward men with the bliss of heaven or the pain of hell before they are judged, and then resurrected to receive one or the other. The Bible nowhere says that rewards are given at death, but at the...

If you are in Christ and Christ in you, scripture is pretty clear you have to depart from iniquity... 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity...

Its not an easy issue, but Christ makes it clear that at the end those who continue in the bondage of sin, will be put to one side, and it is not with the righteous... Matthew 25:32-34 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd...

That is correct, we then have to have Christ is us and we in Christ so we can be freed from the bondage of sin. So we repent and God forgives, but then do we continue in sin Romans 6 King James Version (KJV) 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God...

We find the following will happen at the end... Revelation 22:11 11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. So do you think sin will be part...

We cannot just keep with the same character full of sin and iniquity, and continue as its slave doing the bidding of Satan. Christ is clear that we have to become free from the bondage of sin, and be righteous or we will not be going to heaven: Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your...

Yes, they can claim they believe and "talk" like they are Christians, and yet... Matthew 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

I didnt say that, what the issue is iniquity or sin, Christ will set even the Christians aside who continue in iniquity, and they will not be in His kingdom. Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them...

The key here is "should not perish" and yet many who say they are Christian will perish, as even the demons believe and yet they know what is coming for them. James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

John 8:1-9 1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4...

He wrote the Commandments with His own finger, so we have what it means to obey. We can see that we by nature are all servants of sin and Satan, and that as soon as we submit to Christ, we become loosed from Satan’s power, free to obey our Master "unto righteousness".

How would you read this verse.... Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
