People I guess out of their desires to live eternally promote that something goes on, such as satan told Eve. God on the other hand states very clearly that we die. Death is defined in the Bible, and in fact you even quoted what it is, they are simply dead, not conscious of anything, but then you go on to speak about a surviving soul.
Soul simply means breathing creature, animals, humans are souls since they are breathing creatures. All souls go to the same place upon death, like you said they are simply dead. Ecc 3:19,20
The only hope for the dead is through the resurrection, which brings the individual back to life.
Hi Robert ~
The
spirit and soul and body of man are three Different things.
When the Lord God forgives, and Gives His Holy Spirit to a man...
**....He is
accepting a mans DEAD body given unto Him; (including, Crucified with Jesus...and shall continue Through the first portions of the last days Tribulations send down from Heaven.
**....He is
restoring the soul IN that man, that was VERY GOOD, when God BLEW it INTO that man.
**....He is
giving the man a
new Heart (Circumcision of the natural heart.)
**....He is
giving the man
Gods SEED, in the new Heart.
**....Gods
SEED, births the man; A
NEW spirit; (ie a
new TRUTH)...
Gods TRUTH.
Once, the Lord God Has Baptized a man
WITH His Holy Spirit...
The man IS Called;
WHOLLY,
WHOLE,
HOLY,
body, soul, spirit.
* The
body’s......
LIFE....IS: it’s natural
BLOOD. (Blood that stops flowing, the heart stops beating, and the body ceases Living.)
* The
soul...Belongs TO God. The
soul’s ....
LIFE....IS:
GOD’S BREATH. (Every alive body has a Living soul in it’s body, whether or not that body Believes in God.)
* The
spirit.. of man IS: a mans Natural Truth IN his natural HEART’s thoughts.
(Every living man HAS a Natural spirit, his natural Truth, that which, IF, it remains Natural, shall die with his natural body.)
* The QUICKENED, spirit of a Natural man, IS: a Natural spirit that which HAS RECEIVED the SEED of God (via the Holy Spirit), and called; Born AGAIN.
* WHEN the Natural BODY DIES....it’s PHYSICAL...it’s PHYSICALLY “
DEAD”.
* WHEN....a Natural BODY DIES....(several things CAN OCCUR, which DEPENDS on the Individual person)...
1) ALL livings souls WILL DEPART OUT OF A PHYSICALLY DEAD BODY.
(Remember...Life IN a soul, IS Gods LIFE....Gods LIFE DOES NOT Occupy DEAD things....God is a God of the Living.)
2) ALL Physically DEAD Body’s, will quickly begin stinking, decaying, rotting.
3) NOT ALL Departed LIVING SOULS....BELIEVE IN the Lord God Almighty...
(And as OF YET...God has NOT REMOVED “His LIFE” From ANY Soul.)
*
Departed Living souls......WHICH “DID NOT BELIEVE, while IN their Living Body” are SENT to Hell,
to wait for Judgement.
*
Departed Living souls.....WHICH “DID BELIEVE, while IN their Living Body” are ESCORTED to Heaven,
to wait for Judgement.
*
Departed Living souls.....WHICH “DID BELIEVE...
and Heartfully
CONFESSED their BELIEF, while IN their Living Body” ARE they MADE WHOLLY WHOLE, (Wholly Sanctified) their Living SOUL and QUICKENED, Born Again SPIRIT, are ESCORTED to Heaven,
to wait for The Lord to Signal their BODY to Rise UP to Him, in the Clouds.
* DEAD...does not ALWAYS mean a Natural physically BODILY Death.
* DEAD...ALSO “spiritually” means, SEPARATED FROM GOD.
* Departed Living Souls “IN HELL”, are called DEAD...Because THEY ARE Separated from God.
* A Bodily Living man, with his Living soul IN him......who is AGAINST God...
IS ALSO Called....DEAD.
Sanctified, means SET APART.
Sanctified.....Wholly, means Body
and Soul
and Spirit.
1 Thes 5:
[
23] And the very God of peace
sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your
whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Several Times, IN Scripture....a body dies, the living soul departs....AND the living soul is RETURNED to the BODY, and the Body resumes LIVING.
You may be familiar with the case of Lazarus....Dead and Buried, for four days. Jesus arrives at the tomb of Lazarus, Jesus calls Lazarus forth to rise up, and he does....and Lazarus resumes his bodily life.
Care to ask any questions?
Glory to God,
