We've always been told suicide is the unforgivable sin, but THE LORD is the decision maker, the advocate for us. There is only 1 sin unto death. HE knows why this was done. Murder, self murder, & many other sins are still forgivable. Repentance & asking for forgiveness is what the LORD looks at. Remember the thief on the cross.

Contrary to the popular narrative of immortality of the soul, "the dead know nothing" in 2 films: "In Game of Thrones," when resurrected John Snow was asked by the witch who raised him from the dead, what it was like, he said there was nothing.

Ecclesiastes 12:6 and 7 clearly state that when the flesh body dies the silver cord parts in The Clay Pot breaks the flesh goes to the dust of the earth which is dead but the spirit that lives in it goes back to God who gave it instantly. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of Heaven First Corinthians 15:50. We have two bodies we have a spiritual body and we have a flesh body First Corinthians 15:44 To be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord is to be present with the Lord is to be present with the Lord 2 Corinthians 5:8. We have a god of love we have a God who would never keep somebody in a hole in the ground until the second coming no graves are popping open and meeting Christ at the seventh trumpet documented in Revelation 19:11. I went nine of my 12 years to SDA school and was not taught the truth of God's word that there are seven trumpets and they're in chronological order and that's how we meet Christ not the way man teaches it the way God teaches it in the Bible Christianity is a reality and there were no denominational religions when Jesus Christ walked this Earth only Christians that follow the teachings of Jesus Christ it's very clear Lazarus and the rich man were two men that walk this Earth in Luke 16:26. Lazarus loved God kept the Commandments in is on the right side with Abraham in his bosom Abrams dead but they're with God on the right side and the rich man is on the left side thinking of evil thoughts looking over to the other side when Lazarus is smiling it's all clear everybody who dies on this earth goes to the Great Gulf. We have spiritual bodies inside these flesh bodies and it's so sad that it's tough that the flesh meets Jesus Christ no flesh is popping out of the Grave going up to meet Jesus it's documented please read 1st Corinthians 15 God bless you

The original text of the scriptures didn't have any punctuation so when the translators translated the bible they just out the Comma in the wrong place. It should read , I tell you Today, comma, you will be with me in paradise. Jesus didn't go to Heaven that Day, He was in the grave that day and the next day which was the Sabbath and the third day he arose, so h didn't go to Heaven until the third day after He was crucified. What did He tell Mary at the Grave when He appeared into her, Do not touch me as I haven't ascended unto heaven yet.

But today is not 2,000 years ago, is when the guy will be woken up at the last day. For him it’ll be same day, as dead know nothing. He won’t know it’s been 2,000 years. Got it?

1st Corinthians 15 verse 44 state that we have two bodies we have a fresh body and we have a spiritual body and that Flush body cannot inherit the Kingdom of Heaven documented in 1st Corinthians 15:50. There are two meanings of the word dead dead in Revelation 20 means spiritually dead through the Thousand Year Millennium for people that have been taught incorrectly. If you look up the word dead in the original doctor Strong's Concordance you can see there are two meanings. I totally agree that he did not explain I don't believe he uses the KJV Bible in a doctor Strong's Concordance. Usually a Bible teacher will read out of the Bible but look up certain words in the Hebrew Old Testament and Greek in the New Testament to get a deeper meaning as the Bible was translated to English in 1611 and even the scholars that translated the Bible said we did the best we could is there could be four to five meetings of each word

[@hornplayer1228]

The warning in Leviticus re spirit communication was correct as there were no benevolent spirits to communicate with. God's spirit world was closed to the fallen souls living on earth or in the spiritual realms of Hell surrounding or below the earth. Christ changed all that and sent spirits of truth as promised. The apostle Paul provided the instructions for communicating with those spirits. 350 years later various councils invented their own theology and shut down all communication with God's' spirits or angels. The doctrine of the Holy Spirit singularised the spirits of truth promised by Christ and turned them into a Holy Spirit around the year 450AD.

BIBLE STUDIES. MISCONCEPTIONS “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord” revelation. The New Testament and the old are full of riddles and parables that no one really understands. So… it would be only inevitable that, society make up stuff about Christianity ✝️ just to suit themselves… because, simply they have no idea what it all really means. This particular saying in Revelation is a good example. It does NOT actually mean dying physically and then going to heaven up in the sky with the angels. That’s absurd and absolutely ridiculous. If you really believe that… then you will believe anything that you don’t know or understand. This particular saying… is referring to a gradual transition from our material mortal, physical lives that we all lead… to a spiritual condition. It’s a gradual moving away from mortality in which we all live under… into a higher sense and understanding of spirituality. It’s called the resurrection… from death into a sense of life in Christ Jesus. But it has nothing to do with dying physically. There is NO hard evidence in the scriptures whatsoever to support the theory that you have to die physically 1st in order to gain eternal life or go to heaven as it were. Yeshua….. or Jesus as he is commonly known as, never said that. But instead he said… “Let the dead bury their dead”. What did Jesus mean by that? And when Jesus raised Lazarus from his physical death… he never said to the people all around him, Lazarus has now gone to heaven with the angels. But instead… he said “Lazarus only sleepeth”. But there is no mentioning of going to heaven or saying a prayer. Society should be reading the scriptures in a proper and understanding manner… rather than just make up stuff just to suit themselves about Christianity ✝️ There is far too much focusing on the material when reading the scriptures as opposed to the spiritual.

The parable of Lazarus and the rich man is the perfect example two men that walked the Earth Lazarus is on the right side in Abraham's bosom Abraham's dead.... they're smiling in the rich man is looking over on the left side who didn't keep the Commandments and didn't love God. To deny Jesus's Parables that he taught on this Earth is not knowing the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven Matthew 13:11. The parable of the rich man is documented in Luke 16:26 Jesus is Parables are taught to people that have eyes to see and ears to hear Mark 4 verses 10 through 20 completely explain if you don't understand the parable of the sower which Satan has children on this Earth in Mark13th versus 38 and 39 you're never going to understand ANY of Jesus's parables ! Satan has children on this Earth and it's documented from Jesus teaching it in John 8:44 you are of your father the devil the first murder c a i n.... . Was c a i n not the first murder? Why would God create a human being that murders ? Nobody can refute this teaching Jesus did in John 8:44. Documented in Genesis 3:15 and 16 the serpent seed and Eve seed God talking to the serpent saying I will put enmity between thy seed and the woman seed and I will greatly multiply by conception and thy sorrow do you know what conception means do you know what enmity means it means ? I highly recommend you look up those words in the Strong's Concordance or in the Hebrew manuscripts because seed means Sperma. If you don't understand that during the first Earth age Satan stole 1/3 of God's children and it's documented in Mark 13:35 to know the secrets of the foundation of the world look up Foundation it means k a t a b o l e which is the overthrow of Satan which is documented further in Jeremiah 4:18 and on documented further in 2nd Peter 3:5 do not be willingly ignorant that there was a earth age before this age and it perished with water which is the first flood after Noah's flood. The Church of Smyrna in the Church of Philadelphia taught this truth and that's why God chose those two churches out of the seven churches otherwise you're of the synagogue of Satan is it states in Revelation 2:9 and Revelation 3 verse 7 through 9. The Church of Smyrna also taught that Christians will be brought up to the synagogue of Satan for a testimony against him Mark 13 Matthew 24 and Luke 21 Allstate this I have written in the Pastor Doug many many times and his staff stating to teach this to my family and friends but yet he doesn't have eyes to see and ears to hear that Jesus taught this three times. I pray that you will have eyes to see and ears to hear is God is the only one that can make a seed grow if not he puts a slumber Romans 11:8 and 9...God bless you 🙏

The argument “What is the spirit / soul? You are arguing “soul sleep “. The Bible says that God breathed into man.’s nostrils and then he became a living soul . Genesis 2:7 So what was man before God ‘s act of breathing into man’s nostrils? Genesis 2:7 says dust, in Hebrew “vayyitzer” mould or image , but unusually spelled with two “y”s, instead of one. Jewish Rabbis can’t even agree on why . The argument is that it means the conscience because humans have the power of choice. Some, however, say it is God’s name repeated twice because man was made in His image. Others feel that the breath represents the Holy Spirit’s presence and the two “Y”s represent Father and Son as all members of the Godhead played a part in creating. By his words were heaven and earth made . See Psalm 33:6-9 By our words are we justified and by our words are we condemned. Matthew 12:27 If all three are represented in our creation then the statement: ashes to ashes, dust to dust, makes a lot more sense after the breath returns to the giver .The repetition designates we were in both our Father’s and His Son’s image, after their likenesses . See Genesis 1:26. He not only put his image on us ;he put his spirit in us, but we can grieve the spirit away and evil spirits can enter us and deface his image in us . See Mark 5 and Luke 8: 29-36. Sin will be erased, but not against the Spirit. Matthew 12: 22-33. The spirit in us produces fruit . Matthew 12:32-37. The question you should be asking is what spirit lives in my heart? See Matthew 12: 43-45. The breath goes away, back to God from where it came and God’s image is defaced/ destroyed as our flesh rots , but the faithful are promised a resurrection . See Job 19: 25-27. Job says “ Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? “ Job 3:11 Then, Job says of the grave that the weary rest both wicked, and the righteous weary and both are prisoners of sin and rest together, hearing no more. ( Job 3:17-18). He states that the Lord has in his hand the soul / life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:10. Finally, reread first Corinthians 15: 42-58. Now it should make sense. We all sleep and our breath is in Jesus’s hands for safe keeping, the hands that hung on the cross. According to Revelation 20 we will either rise in the first or second resurrection depending on our own actions of worship and works ( verses 4 and 12-13).

@@Heavensoon7 Are you arguing a non-physical resurrection? Job 19:26; Luke 24:39; Eze 37:1-10; II Tim 4:7-8; Acts 2:29-34; I Thess 4:16. There are plenty more that show a physical resurrection when Jesus comes.
