Linder,everything i answered comes directly from a scripture.I am a bit rushed now and i promise later to put those scriptures up.But for the time being now go look up Eccl 9:5...put it up what the bible says and then lets start with that.That shows clearly death is non-existence.God telling Adam he would go back to dust as well.Dust ISNT life.
Im sorry my zest comes out in my authoritive way of explaining.It also has come out being accused of harrassing.That it isnt the case.Many are just bent on what they have been taught or just cant discern Gods word.Jesus said by their fruits you will know them and a good tree produces fine fruit while a dying tree rotten fruit.And his followers would have love among themselves.Catholics killing Protestants during the world war can eliminate them as 1 example.Muslims flying planes into a building didnt set a fine example either.
Again if u wish to have a friendly chat on this i am agreeable.I will be back on in a few hrs.I hope ur having a good day as well.
No one was a finer example then Jesus....but because he showed his enemies what they really were they executed him.There is no middle ground with truth.It discerns what our heart condition is.The double edge sword.Look at Pilate.He knew he wasnt a criminal and he gave way to peer pressure from the mob to kill him.
I will return later.....thank you
