Done here.
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing,
neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished;
neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy,
and drink thy wine with a merry heart;
for God now accepteth thy works.
Let thy garments be always white;
and let thy head lack no ointment.
Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest
all the days of the life of thy vanity,
which he hath given thee under the sun,
all the days of thy vanity:
for that is thy portion in this life,
and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;
for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom,
in the grave, whither thou goest.

yes i also like these verses in the bible book of ECCLESIASTES that is a true bible teaching , no mention of the immortality of the human soul . the reason why is because the immortality of the human soul is not a bible teaching , but a verse that the bible does tell us about is the hope of a ressurection .MidnightBlue said:
and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous acts 24;15
Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."Joh 5:25-29. of cause this does not mean that they will be judged on the things they did BEFORE they died , but they will be judged on how they live their lifes from AFTER their resurrection. and then my favourite scripture will be fullfilled .
The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it.psalm 37;29
But as for the offspring of the wicked ones, they will indeed be cut off. some will not want to be blessed , they will prefer to be cut-off from the wonderful blessings of a paradise earth . but that is their choice.
how easy it is for the great Universal Sovereign and Creator to resurrect a person by repatterning the same personality in a newly formed body.

I am curious to know what bible you got this from? I use the KJV and it only has 16 verses in 1 Timothy chapter 3 and it doesn't say anything like what you have listed.

that's wierd because there is a fellow by the name of Jesus in the bible who taught with parables specifically to give layers of meaning to scripture....
(of course this is coming from a Mormon and I can't imagine what you have to say about us...)

Luke 10:25-28
25On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 26"What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"
27He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' ; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.
28"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."
1 John 4:16
16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
and
18
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.
Matt 7:1-2
1 Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.
Matt 7:7-12
7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! 12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

1 Corinthians 15:24-26 - "Next the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. For he must rule as king until God has put all enemies under his feet. As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing." This is fulfilled after Jesus has once again brought all things in subjection to Jehovah God and his kingdom is firmly established and operating. What a glorious day!

My favourite is 1 Cor 8:13 - Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
I think aside from loving god and neighbour, this is the most important commandment in the bible. Everything in the gospel hangs on not causing my brother to offend.

A favorite:
Hebrews 10:14
because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

Mine is from Luke 1:37 when speaking of the virginal conception of Christ St Gabriel the archangel says
"For with God nothing will be impossible"
"For with God nothing will be impossible"
There are so many. I choose 1Cor. 15:22-28, from the CV:
"For even as, in Adam, all are dying, thus also, in Christ, shall all be vivified.
Yet each in his own class: the Firstfruit, Christ; thereupon those who are Christ's in His presence;
thereafter the consummation, whenever He may be giving up the kingdom to His God and Father, whenever He should be nullifying all sovereignty and all authority and power.
For He must be reigning until He should be placing all His enemies under His feet.
The last enemy being abolished is death.
For He subjects all under His feet. Now whenever He may be saying that all is subject, it is evident that it is outside of Him Who subjects all to Him.
Now, whenever all may be subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also shall be subjected to Him Who subjects all to Him,
that God may be All in all."

This is one of my favorite biblical verses because it affirms the sanctity of life and encourages love, tolerance and peace between people.
It is a perfect example of the virtue and value of the Christian Bible.
Dt.13:6-10
"If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you ... Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die." --
Translation: If your brother, son, daughter, wife or friend tries to get you to worship other gods KILL them with your own hand and encourage others to join in their murder.

you are forgetting the sayings of Jesus,
You must love your neighbor as yourself. the first is to love Jehovah.
(Mark 12:31) The second is this, You must love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these."
(Luke 10:27) In answer he said: "You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole strength and with your whole mind, and, your neighbor as yourself." and Jehovah did say to listen to Jesus his son
(Luke 9:35) And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: "This is my Son, the one that has been chosen. Listen to him."....... now thats the way to do things just as Jehovah tells us to
