@Diamond ,....
....what's your pov of this? Is this person making it up? (No way, IMO)

And what about the others here, like Ragin Pagan, etc., who aver that they actually speak w/ invisible sentient entities? (Some call them, their 'guides'.)

Are every one of these people delusional to you?

I could ask the same thing of @Subduction Zone , @Audie , or other skeptics.

Iyo, the "flood" gave us quick-frozen mammoths.

Ask yourself about people who have ridden in flying
saucers or who can tell you of their experiences in
the hollow esrth.

Are only those who speak with esrnest conviction
of what you already believe telling the truth?

Did I say anything about UFO's, or 'hollow earth'?

Interesting, you equate people having UFO encounters as being of the same 'mindset' as those who conversate with spirits.

I don't "speak w/" spirit guides (or other similar entities), knowing their source. But yet, many on this forum, do. Though as you said, you belittle them and think they're all delusional.

Like I said before, there are simply too many incidents, involving reputable people, to arbitrarily discount them!

That's naïveté. IMO.

A Need for Consistency

As pointed out in Chapter Four, when Scripture talks about departure of the spirit or soul, we see that the essence of our being stays with the body. Examples given were:

Genesis 35:18 says, "her soul was departing," not "she was departing."

1 Kings 17:21-22 says, "the child's soul came back to him," not "the child came back."

Psalm 146:4 says, "his spirit departs, he returns to the earth." It does not say "he departs, his body returns to the earth."

Luke 8:55 says, "her spirit returned and she awoke," not "she returned and awoke."

Acts 20:10 says, "his soul is still in him," not "he is still in his body."

Psalms 90:10 says when we die we fly away.Not just that our soul flies away.

Also in Job 20:7-9 it says when a man dies he flys away like a dream.Which is similar to Psalms 90:10

I am confused.:confused:

If you look.It sounds like Psalms 90:10 sounds literal.While Job 20:7-9 sounds figurative.

My question is this.Why in all the other passages does it sound like our being stays with the body when we die?But in Psalms 90:10.And Job 20:7-9.It doesn't.:confused:

Take it back to first principles:



God promised Adam and Eve, “As for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.” (Genesis 2:17)

In turn Satan disaffirmed, “YOU positively will not die.” (Genesis 3:4)

Who do you believe? Jehovah God or Satan?


Are Adam and Eve dead or alive?

Soul Sleep doctrine is caught in a terrible inconsistency:

'And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless upon the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.' (1Thess.5:23)

The OP claims that there is 'A Need For Consistency' and said; "we see that the essence of our being stays with the body." The Soul Sleeper claims that there are 4 components to the person with their addition of 'essence'. The New Testament states that there are 3.

Someone is for sure naieve here.

In general, I'd say the frozen mammoth / flood
believer and the one who thinks his chosen
brand of woo woo is true true ( but not the
othrrs) might turn out to be the one.

It is chronic but pethaps not incurable.
Good luck to you!
