    I have a feeling that the afterlife doesn't exist

    Sheol, in most eras and sects, is a place where both the righteous and unrighteous go after bodily death. It's somewhat the Jewish version of Roman Catholic Purgatory. Of course there are many variations. IMO, Ecc 9:10 refers to that when you reach this point of the salvation journey, there is...

    I have a feeling that the afterlife doesn't exist

    @Spice Hi again. I looked up a couple of things about what you said, and here's (in part) what I found: Ecclesiastes 9:10 in the New Revised Standard Version (couldn't find exactly the Revised Standard Version online, maybe I missed it), says this: "Whatever your hand finds to do, do with your...

    Differentiation between the light and the dark?

    Ecclesiastes 3:18-20 I said in my heart with regard to the sons of men that God is testing them to show them that they are but beasts. For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over...

    The Lake of Fire is Reincarnation

    Christians take the word of God as inspired. the point of your statement is not event relevant...a childish i dont like that spat doesnt even apply here. do you have a dictionary??? In Christianity, annihilationism is the belief that after the Last Judgment, all damned humans and fallen angels...

    Where are the Dead?

    That would be a very valid reason in my opinion. Jesus never said He was making stuff up... but He easily could be recounting things the He saw around Him. None of those references are words from God. Those are words of man and Luke 16 says there is no way back from their side to the mortal...

    Where are the Dead?

    That's not a valid reason to say it is not an illustration, or parable. There are several illustrations, or parable which Jesus did not say were parables, but we know they were. All recounted by Luke. Including the Prodigal son. We do. That's how we know, the dead cannot communicate...

    Where are the Dead?

    You are correct, it is still the same. The bodies of both man and beast go back to dust and the spirit of man goes either up or down.

    Where are the Dead?

    Nothing suggests the situation correctly described in Ecclesiastes has changed. Ecclesiastes 3:18-20 I said in my heart with regard to the sons of men that God is testing them to show them that they are but beasts. For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same; as one...

    Where are the Dead?

    Do not interpretations belong to God? (Genesis 40:8) No prophecy of Scripture springs from any private interpretation. For prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will, but men spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit. (2 Peter 1:20, 21) There are no private interpretations here. There...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    The scriptures are mythological tales all rewriting Mark using Persian, Greek and some Roman myth in a Jewish context. We can get into the scholarship of this, it's consensus. But a simple overview by a Pastor /historian covers the basics: The Invention of Hell 7:30 Aristotle was...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    What do Jehovah’s Witnesses say about hell? Do you know I believe that my Dad’s in hell? And he was a decent individual. I believe that most all of Jehovah’s Witnesses who’ve died, are in hell / Sheol / hades. That’s what the Bible states. (Ecclesiastes 9:10) Even Jesus was in hell, for 3...

    Question for all - what happens after death...

    Yes, both atheists and theists have the same fate after they die. Ecclesiastes 9:10 says: “Whatsoever thy hand is able to do, do it earnestly: for neither work, nor reason, nor wisdom, nor knowledge shall be in hell, whither thou art hastening.” Douay-Rheims Bible (a Catholic translation)...

    Where are the Dead?

    Ah. I understand how you are seeing it. Hmm. Does hell also collect gray hairs? ...let his gray hairs go down in peace to Sheʹol. :D Do you agree with Solomon? (Ecclesiastes 9:10) . . .All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor...

    Where are the Dead?

    Okay. Thanks. So I am mistaken, in that a lie the adversary told through his ministers, I took up, and ran with it, and also promotes it. All I am asking is am I a disciple of Christ, and on the side of truth, in your view? That's all I am trying to ascertain from you, on this. Thanks. You say...

    Where are the Dead?

    It's not changing what it says Ken. What will you tell me next, that no parable, mentions prodigal. Where does it indicate that the story of the prodigal son is a parable? I don't understand what you are saying. The Bible does not say spirits are asleep somewhere. The Bible speaks of God and...

    Where are the Dead?

    Wow blu :openmouth: I never imagined... :dizzy: Excellent illustration... and use of scriptures. Imagine that. An atheists gets right what so many religious people get wrong.

    Where are the Dead?

    "Where does the light go when you switch the light off?" "Light" in that sense doesn't go anywhere. It simply ceases to be generated by the light source. Same with life. Death is the irreversible failure / cessation of the body's life support systems. Ecclesiastes 3:18-20 (RSV) I said in my...

    Why does it mention Abraham twice in two different parables if he isn't literally in heaven?

    No, you just proved that the scriptures contradict themselves.

    Why does it mention Abraham twice in two different parables if he isn't literally in heaven?

    That view contradicts the scriptures themselves. https://biblehub.com/ecclesiastes/9-5.htm https://biblehub.com/ecclesiastes/9-10.htm https://biblehub.com/psalms/146-4.htm
