    1 Kings 1:10 So David Slept with his Fathers and was Buried, Acts 2 Men and Brethren let me speak freely to you regarding the patriarch David, that he is both dead and Buried, and his sepulture is with us to this day. VS 34 For David is not ascended into Heaven. ....(He is a sleep, waiting for the resurrection.)

    It’s very clear in genesis 1 and 2 that after he formed the man out of clay he breathed life in to Adam age Adam became a living soul . The soul is the mix of our spirit and our netural brain so our soul live my spirit and the mind trains the the soul as it grows and learns . So the soul has a spiritual part and earthly part where they are connected . So the soul is the where the spirit and mind are connected.

    the Initiale justification(Eternal Life) is totaly by Grace we dont work for it but after you got Baptise there is a increase in justification by our good works and not the works of the old testament that is the law of Moses. Revelation 22:12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.

    Michael needs to explain 1 Thess 4 pertaining to those who are asleep. Just because all the nutty ancient cultures believed something about the afterlife, doesn't mean that equates with reality.

    What are we to make of testimonies of people who have positive encounters with saints from the afterlife? In christian orthodox faith and tradition we see the saints from the afterlife appearing and interacting in the lifes of the living quite often. You hear stories of healing, guidance etc. I ask because I am a Greek protestant Christian trying to make sense of how I should respond to my orthodox brothers who talk about saint encounters they have. If anyone can respond to my question I would be very grateful🙏

    Hello Michael. I am a former Catholic and encounter similar discussions. I simply tell people that while some experiences may be made up, all sorts of people in all sorts of religions have all sorts of real experiences. Someone's real experience doesn't automatically mean that it was from the one true God. And when you dig into many of the supernatural experiences people have, you usually find that their stories include many contradictions to scripture. I don't base my beliefs on other people's experiences, I base my beliefs on holy scripture, and God's word will never fail us.

    And even if it feels positive, (and satan disguises himself as an angel of light), God said do not contact the dead. As soon as we try to rationalize, we are as disobedient as Adam and Eve were.

    these are great questions answering to the belief of "soul sleep". however, why would Jesus tell this epic dispensational story about going to build a place at The Father's House and return to get us and take us there if we die and simply go straight to heaven? bypassing the entire point of the ellusion to the Jewish Wedding Ceremony. ... the arrival of guests, the sound of trumpets, the SURPRISE of the Grooms arrival to take the Bride to THE WEDDING PARTY! come on Yo! Simon Peter says to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered him, "Where I go, you are not able to follow Me now, but you will follow afterward." John 13:36

    Jesus gets them when they die, which was between 20-50 years after Jesus ascended. Peter didn't go with Jesus when He ascended. Peter went when he died.

    *"...and return to get us and take us there...."* John 14: 1-4 does not say anything about Jesus taking the redeemed to heaven, Scott. It only says that Jesus will come back to Earth. ✴ _In my Father's house are many mansions_ [moné: abode, room; dwelling place]: _if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, _*_I will come again...._* (John 14: 2-3; KJV)

    He’s spoken on them before . The context of the passages in Ecclesiastes is “under the sun”. The realm of the dead isn’t under the sun but under the earth . Of course no one under the earth knows what’s going on under the sun …

    Hoo boy. I can't believe people still trot out the ol' Ecclesiastes proof text for this. For one thing, the context of the book is the utter futility of life from a Godless, man-centric viewpoint. "The dead know nothing" is how things appear in the natural, and smacks of the futility that Solomon seeks to convey. But read on and you quickly find that even this "proof passage" ends up committing a total self-own when it says, "they have no further reward". The entire soul sleep argument is predicated on the final resurrection to either reward or punishment (an event which all Christians believe in, by the way), so if you're going to use this passage as a literal statement from God, spurious though it may be, of what happens in the spirit realm when we die, one would thus have to conclude there is also no hope of reward in a final resurrection.

    i do not pay much attention to teachers whose doctrines focus primarily on the old testament, not that the old testament scriptures are not important because they are. and how are they important? jesus put it this way: _“you search the scriptures (old testament), for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of me.”_ when the old testament is taught, the focus should be primarily on christ, ie, the old testament is a testimonial of jesus christ. heiser is an old testament scholar so he naturally would focus on the old testament but why? the old testament is merely a foreshadowing of the new testament in which christ is clearly portrayed as crucified. paul opens his letter to the hebrews with the following words: _“god, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past (old testament era) to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days (new testament era) spoken to us by his son.”_ the truth is revealed more fully in the new testament. the old testament should be used primarily to give natural examples of spiritual truths revealed in the new testament, sort of like the parables of our lord. maranatha
