And where was the thief, still on the cross and where was Christ, we see that Christ did not go to heaven when He died but not until after the resurrection.
John 20:16-17
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus saith unto...
...Looking at the original language words in the Bible, we see something very important....something that tells us that Christendom’s adherents have been fed lies about what the “soul” and the “spirit” actually are.
We have to remember that Jesus was Jewish and that the ancient Jews (as opposed...
Here is a great explanation in answer to some of these questions I came across from one of the brethren..
"Contrary to popular belief, there is no teaching of an immortal soul that leaves the body at death in the Bible at all....that belief was adopted from the Platonic Greeks, not from anything...

Luke 23:42-43 - And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I...

Soul sleep is the teaching that when a person dies, his soul "sleeps" or the denial of man's conscious existence between when he dies and the resurrection day. It's what is called the intermediate state of the believer, in which both the body and the soul lay rest in the ground and the phrase...
What does the Bible show us? It shows that it certainly is. In God's final warning messages to the world we find a call to worship the Creator.
Revelation 14:6-7
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and...
But you have to remember, God decides who is the elect, not man, as we have many who claim they follow Christ, yet continue fully in sin and iniquity..
