SOS, when it was first agreed upon by the International Radio Telegraphic Convention in 1906, was merely a distinctive and easy to remember Morse code sequence ( three dots/three dashes/three dots) and was initially not an abbreviation. Later in popular usage it became associated with mnemonic...
Yes, I know that.
What is the Hebrew concept of the soul?
THE HEBREW VIEW: The Hebrew word for soul is nephesh and it literally means "breath." Animals as well as human beings were created with this life breath as a gift from God (Gen. 2:7; 7:22, 6:17; Ecc. 3:19). The Hebrew nephesh is also...
Hi Trailblazer, as you know from our discussions, I do not believe there is a soul in the theological sense.
Nevertheless you do misinterpret Ezekiel 18:20 and will tell you why.
The verse reads: "The person who sins is the one who will die. The child will not be punished for the parent's sins...
You do believe in the "immortal soul" which had its roots in Greek paganism. Where does the "soul" go?
In Hebrew "praise" means to give thanks, laud, praise or to confess, confess (the name of God)
Body, soul and spirit (sometimes referred to the "spirit of man") is what makes up the whole of...
Yes when the body has died it is dead. BUT the soul goes on living as Jesus said.
I understand the passages about praising God in sheol as referring to the type of praise people did in the Temple. That, I am told, is what the word "praise" there specifically refers to.
If God can destroy both...
Thank you for taking your time to answer.
I still don't find in your comment anything proving that "Abraham's Bosom" is a literal place unless you refer to this place:
Gen. 49:29 After that he gave these commands to them: “I am being gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave...
True... the conversation has been quite extensive and have covered some of those points... but don't mind covering them again. Also, please remember that the Bible isn't a compendium on all subjects but rather an overview of mankind (spiritual, mental and physical) of his beginning, current and...
I don't see what the point of posting all that was.
Unless it's just a way of dancing around having to admit that you made a mistake about which story the setting was in reference to.
In any case, back to the conversation we were actually having . . .
I think I've covered all this as well as...
Thank you for your reply.
I find the start of Jesus' parable illustration starts at Luke 16:14. The setting is the money-loving Pharisees.
Since the ' rich men ' (Luke 16:1 and Luke 16:14) are Not actual people, but part of a story or illustration.
Then, verses 22-23 are part of one...
That’s not the teaching of the scriptures, which show that though the body dies, the the spirit of the person God has breathed life into lives eternally. Either, with God or separated from God forever. To be separated from God will be awful.
…So it was that the beggar died, and was not carried...

Saul desperately wanted to believe that it was Samuel and so let himself be deceived. Verse 3 says that Samuel was dead and buried. The scriptures quoted under the preceding subheading make clear that there was no part of Samuel that was alive in another realm and able...
natasha levchenko good to meet you...
I point you to this passage, The dead are still around us, not really gone!!
1 Samuel 28:10 Saul swore to her by the Lord, “As surely as the Lord lives, you will not be punished for this.”
11 Then the woman asked, “Whom shall I bring up for you?”
“Bring up...
I agree that he went to the paradise. However, maybe the souls sleep can be in some way also possible, at least before Jesus, because of these:
It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried. In Hades, he...
I believe Corinthians is a preference not a prediction.
I believe paradise is not in Heaven but is in the heavens.
I believe no-one knows where Abraham is and more than likely the parable is fiction.
