I agree! For sure don't believe everything I say or anybody else for that matter. Check it out for yourself. Search the scriptures like the Bereans did and find out if it's the truth.

Hear, O Israel! Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is one!

In Christ, George...

Really? Did not want to come in though, but remember we are human each with own

shortfalls. Opinions are bound to differ thus don't believe everything from

your mentor!

Do we have an immortal soul? I don't believe we do. First we must understand what a soul is. When the bible speaks of souls it is simply talking about creatures. It can be people and it can be animals as the souls that went into the ark.

The soul is the whole person. It is not just a part of the person. The soul can die as it says in Genesis. "The soul that sins shall die." The soul can die so it is not immortal.

What happens when you die. The life goes back to God who gave it. Or as it says, "The spirit goes back to God who gave it." When it talks of spirit it is talking about our life from God. When we die we lose that life. We arn't ourselves that life.

So when that life leaves our body we are dead. The only thing that can change that is by life coming back into our bodies. Then we become a living soul again just as Adam became a living soul when God breathed life into him.

So untill Jesus comes back on resurrection day we will remain dead in the grave. Saying that our souls leave our bodies at death and go to heaven or hell is an oxymoron. Our body is our soul. God will raise it up again and make it new when Jesus returns.

When we die we stay dead untill then. Everyone will take part in a resurrection. Some to the resurrection to life and some to the resurrection to judgement. Untill then, nothing.

But just as when we sleep at night there is no awareness of time. So it will seem that upon death we will be back to life right then. It will be like we never died. We will seemingly be raised at the moment of death even though thousands of years may have passed.

Hear, O Israel! Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is one!

In Christ, George...
