You are quite uninformed... You know nothing about history. Israel doesn't have any moral to dictate to the Palestinians, Israel is 75 years old, Palestine 🇵🇸 existed long before Jesus was born. Jesus is a Palestinian-Jew. He was born in Bethlehem, Bethlehem is south of Jerusalem. South Jerusalem is and was originally Palestine. You know nothing about history. Israel 🇮🇱 is controlled by a cult group called Zionist. 45% of Isarelis don't support Zionism. Go and do a proper research on subject matter before spewing your ignore on cyber space. BTW, I'm a Christian and I Stand With Palestine 🇵🇸. Free Palestine!

misreal:
Israel left Gaza in 2005 after holding Gaza for 38yrs.in other to protect themselves from suicide bombings orchestrated by hamas,they had to build something like a wall to protect Israel.So when palestines are asking for freedom,what are they really asking for??…is israel still controlling their economy??…..what they want is for Israel to lower their walls and let them into Israel,so they can continue their divide bombings in order to totally take over Israel..people who support hamas don’t just want the existence of the state of Israel,they are jihadist. They complain that israel is cutting power and water,the question is this.Who will supply water and power to a people that wants them dead?how can I feed my killer?.. Palestines should be prostesting against hamas who misappropriated their funds,not israel.Israel is only trying to protect its citizens.

Akeredolu is a maad man.

Sowore deserve to be in prison or shot dead to avoid innocent people dying for nothing. That was how Adolf Hitler started his little revolution with his Nazi party, but the govt of his day simply threw him into prison, he came out and became a democracy hero, contested and worn the election only to become a tyrant that resulted in the death of over 40 million including the massacre of 6 million Jews; if only he was shot dead the day he started his revolution that sad history would have been avoided.

That was also how mad nnamdi KANU started his ipob - hundreds of Igbo youths have died in the process including jack his beloved dog, but ran away to abroad after causing so many trouble.

The FG did the right thing by nipping sowore in the bud before we have another mad man causing trouble. He should be detained indefinitely or better still shot dead.

Who commands more fear between the Nigerian Army and the Department of State Services (DSS) ?

The DSS is an equivalent of the US FBI, CTU; Russian KGB. Israeli Mossad.
They know what the military don't know, they are very intelligent and pragmatic.

They even offer intelligence gathering to the Army, Police, EFCC, and other paramilitary forces.

They monitor every calls that goes out and comes in through your phone, except you use a satellite phone, I know they still have a software for cracking nodes and transmissions if they want to.

They know what the Police and Army don't know.

When it comes to brutality, of course Army is a banger hence they were trained for the job.


But when it comes to real time intelligence gathering and law enforcement, the DSS takes the lead.

They know what you are thinking, they are criminologist and psychologist at a very high level.

One illiterate idiot will sprout rubbish now.

Wish same thing can be said of kogi state but Melaye didn't sell himself well. His campaign strategy was annoying using his joystick to demonstrate his capability. Who does that?

Now I know why GEJ went to Aso Rock Villa to visit with PMB. He should his state to PMB, base on logistics.
Dickson bleeped up, GEJ simply taught him a lesson.
Quiet people are dangerous, Lyon is secretly working for GEJ. This is the life of a mafia...
I respect GEJ, he's a die hard politician embedded in academics.

Base on who I be, I wanna be like GEJ when I grow up.

Conclusion
What then is our reaction to these Bible truths? They are not just intended as facts to be assimilated by the mind; they should affect our whole outlook on life. Appreciating the true nature of death, we should realise that life is our time of opportunity. As Hezekiah wrote,
"The grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day" (Isaiah 38:18,19).

The issue is one of life and death. Upon our decision depends our eternal future: the oblivion of perpetual death or the glorious awakening to life everlasting at the return of Jesus! How urgent it is therefore that we embrace the hope of the Gospel while time remains, lest we die "having no hope, and without God in the world" (Ephesians 2:12).

Thanks for reading through this piece, Jesus be praised.

Hope you have been blessed?

Jesus is Glorified!

(c)SpiritWord Nation, 2015

'Kingdom of heaven' and 'kingdom of God' are parallel phrases.
Why then does Matthew employ the phrase 'kingdom of heaven'? Some verses from the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament illustrate its meaning: "In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed" (2:44). In another chapter, Daniel writes: "The heavens do rule" (4:26). Even the great Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, was forced to acknowledge that "God doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth" and was led to "praise and extol and honour the King of heaven" (4:35-37).
The kingdom of heaven is therefore descriptive of the rule of heaven and the phrase could reasonably be applied to any area where God's sovereignty is acknowledged. Thus Jesus taught a us a format to pray, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10).

The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16)
We are now considering a parable It is not fact, but Jesus is using a commonly believed fallacy--that the righteous were carried to 'Abraham's bosom' to be comforted, whereas the wicked suffer in hell. One of the points he is making is that God's standards are different from man's and may be the complete opposite of human assessments. Another is that the faith that pleases God is such that it will be prepared to believe what is written in the Scriptures. If God's Word cannot convince them, nothing can: "If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead" (verse 31).

Notice how the detail of the parable is completely irreconcilable with commonly held views of immortal souls in heaven and hell. The rich man and Lazarus were able to observe one another and speak to one another from their respective abodes. They were not immaterial spirits, but they possessed bodies with fingers, tongues etc. (verse 24).
The parable was, then, a terrible warning to wealthy and powerful Jews, who believed that merely being born a Jew would guarantee them God's blessing.

The Thief on the Cross (Luke 23:39-43)
Here we have one of the most remarkable examples in the Bible of faith. This man, dying on a cross with the Lord Jesus Christ when all others had forsaken him, manifested a belief in the Gospel of the kingdom of God, accepting the resurrection of Jesus and anticipating his own resurrection in the day of Christ's coming in glory. The assurance that Jesus gave him was, "Verily I say unto thee today thou shalt be with me in paradise" (verse 43). Observe that we have not punctuated this promise. This is important, for in the original Greek text there was no punctuation as we understand it. Commas etc. are inserted in the English translation according to the sense of the language, and the placing of the comma before the word "today" in the Authorised Version is debatable. It could with equal validity be placed after the word "today", thus changing the emphasis and sense of the words: "Verily I say unto thee today, thou shalt be with me in paradise."
In other words, "I am telling you now that your request will be granted".
In any case, to read the words as an assurance that they should both that very day be united in heaven is inconsistent with other Bible teaching. We have already referred to Psalm 16 (quoted in Acts 2), which tells us clearly that the soul of Jesus was not in heaven but in hell (grave), from where he was raised on the third day: "Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell (grave), neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption."

There are more Scriptures that we could examine in this way. The instances I have considered, however, should help us to appreciate that apparently contradictory passages have adequate explanations consistent with Bible teaching as a whole.

Resurrection
If there is no resurrection of the dead, there is no hope. But the triumphant conclusion of the apostle is:
"In fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ" (vs 20-23).
How could the apostle be more specific? Only through resurrection will life after death be achieved, and the Lord Jesus Christ is but the first of a great multitude, the first fruits of a great harvest of dead believers who will live again when Jesus returns to the earth.
There we have the key to the whole situation. While the world continues as it is now, dominated by evil men pursuing their ambition for power, it is difficult for us to envisage how the meek will ever inherit the earth, but central to the purpose of God is the second coming of Jesus to overthrow the kingdom of men; to destroy all that oppose Him and to establish the kingdom of God, a divine society founded on principles of righteousness and equity over which he will reign for ever (Matthew 6:10; Revelation 11:1 5; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Daniel 2:44; Micah 4:1-5).

Scripture teaching is not complicated and difficult to comprehend, but rational and logical.

Judgement
The Scriptures speak of two classes of people raised from the sleep of death at the last day: those who are given everlasting life, and others raised to shame and condemnation (Daniel 12:2).

Some Objections Considered
It would be wrong not to acknowledge that there are some passages of Scripture which many people sincerely believe establish the orthodox teaching of the immortality of the soul and the popular conception of heaven as the abode of the righteous. Here are the chief examples of passages which might seem to teach a view contradicting what we have put forward so far:
"The Kingdom of Heaven"
This is a phrase used only in Matthew's record of the Gospel. It is assumed by some that because it refers to heaven, the actual location of the kingdom is in heaven. Thus, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:3) and, "Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven" (18:3) are taken to prove that the righteous enjoy their inheritance in heaven. If we are serious about Bible study, however, we should not jump to conclusions too easily and we should examine more carefully the phrase "kingdom of heaven" as used in Matthew and establish precisely what it means. I select just two passages which, we suggest, illustrate clearly that the kingdom of heaven is not actually located in heaven, but - in harmony with general Bible teaching - here on earth.
Matthew 13 contains a number of parables that Jesus used to illustrate his message. Most are prefaced with the words "the kingdom of heaven is like unto" yet some of the things that Jesus said are extremely difficult to reconcile with the thought of the soul transported to heaven at death. For instance, in the parable of the tares, "The field is the world . . . the harvest is the end of the world . . . As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend . . . Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father" (verses 24-30,36-43).

Can there really be "things that offend" in a kingdom in heaven?
After a meeting with a rich young man, who could not bring himself to sell his possessions and follow him, Jesus said, "that a rich man can hardly (i.e. with difficulty) enter into the kingdom of heaven . . . It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God" (Matthew 19:23-24).

The final punishment of the wicked is therefore annihilation, perpetual death, cut off from the land of the living for ever. This is fitting and appropriate in the light of our understanding of Bible teaching concerning life and death, "for the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23).

The Reward of the Righteous
But what of the reward of the righteous? We have seen that their eternal inheritance is the earth - an earth perfected and purged of all evil. We have, however, also learned that all men by nature are subject to death and that in death they have no conscious being. If Scriptural teaching is to be consistent, then there is only one possible way for the righteous to receive their reward: they must be made to live again by resurrection from the dead. The last Old Testament passage quoted in connection with the destiny of the wicked (Isaiah 26:1 4) spoke of their death as eternal: "They shall not rise." In the same chapter, however, the prophet contrasts the fate of these with the reward of the righteous:
"Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead" (v. 19).
How is this to be achieved? The salvation that God offers necessitated Jesus' resurrection from the dead; and this has made it possible for all faithful men to be raised from the dead as he was.

So Jesus could say, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" (John 11:25); and on another occasion, "For the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his (the Son of man's, i.e. Jesus') voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation" (John 5:28,29).

In his first Letter to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul deals at length with the resurrection of the dead, showing that it is at the very heart of the Saint hope. His challenge to some who doubted this doctrine was:
"Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: and if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain . . . Ye are yet in your sins . . . they also which are fallen asleep in Christ have perished" (15:12-18).

Tartarus
Before leaving the subject of "hell", a brief word is appropriate about one instance of the word "tartarus" in the New Testament:
"God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell (tartarus)" (2 Peter 2:4).

In Greek mythology the word referred to a subterranean cavern, a nether-world into which the wicked were cast.
The use of this word can in no way confuse the clear teaching of Scripture as already stated. Its use arises out of the peculiar circumstances connected with the event to which Peter refers. There is some uncertainty as to the precise reference to "the angels that sinned": some have seen in these words a references to Korah, Dathan and Abiram, who, when they spoke against Moses and rebelled against God, suffered a unique punishment when 'the ground clave asunder . . . the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up . . . They went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished" (Numbers 16:31-33),
This event would certainly provide an adequate explanation for the use of the word tartarus by Peter on this one occasion.

The Destiny of the unrighteous
So far as the unrighteous are concerned, we have already established that they cannot possibly exist after death, suffering eternal torment and misery. The following passages are a selection from many:
"The wicked shall perish . . . they shall consume away" (Psalm 37:20).
"He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish" (Psalm 49:19,20).
"The wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it" (Proverbs 2:22).
"They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish" (Isaiah 26:14).
"They shall be punished with everlasting destruction" (2 Thessalonians 1:9).

For the purpose of our enquiry I shall take just one passage: the explanation given in this instance applies equally to all the others. I have selected the words from Mark 9 (parallel to Matthew 18:8,9) because this is undoubtedly the most explicit and comprehensive example of the Lord's teaching about Gehenna:
"And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched" (verses 43,44, see also 45-49).

From a superficial reading one might feel a certain repugnance about eternal fires and never-dying worms. Happily neither of these ideas is involved in a true understanding of the passage.

The word Gehenna comes from the Hebrew Ge-Hinnom, which was in fact a geographical location. It means the Valley of Hinnom, sometimes referred to as Tophet. It was a valley on the edge of the (then) city of Jerusalem and from the earliest times it was a place of ill repute - associated with idolatrous worship and abhorred by the Jews because of horrific practices associated with false worship: see, for example, Jeremiah 7:31-33. In the days of Josiah the valley was cleansed and its evil practices forbidden (2 Kings 23:10).
Its infamy, however, lived on and it became a place for Jews to burn the refuse of the city; later they used it to dispose of the carcases of animals and unburied criminals after execution.

For this purpose and to avoid the stench of putrefaction, fires were kept burning there continually and it became synonymous with death and condemnation.
The reference to fires that are never quenched now begins to be seen more clearly: they are used to express the nature of divine judgement. The judgements of God are certain and inexorable. This indeed is what is suggested by, "Their worm dieth not" - nothing can prevent or interfere with the declared judgement of God upon those who turn their backs on Him.

The Earth is Man's Inheritance
Heaven is not for man: his habitation both now and any future existence is the earth:
"The meek shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace . . . For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth . . . The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell therein for ever" (Psalm 37:11,22,29).
The Lord Jesus was referring to this Psalm when he said, "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5). He taught his disciples to pray, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" (6:10) And John had a vision of the redeemed (those delivered from sin and death), who sing:
"Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood . . . and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth" (Revelation 5:9,10).

The earth, then, is man's habitation and also his promised eternal abiding place. We shall leave for a moment the question of how this inheritance on earth is granted, because first of all we must clear up some common misunderstandings about "hell".

Hell is the Grave
There are three main words in the Authorised Version which have been rendered "hell". In the Old Testament it is the Hebrew word sheol; in the Greek of the New Testament there are two words, hades and gehenna. The word sheol was commonly used to indicate the abode of the dead below the earth. It is better rendered by "the grave" or "the pit". In the Authorised Version sheol has been translated "grave" and "hell" on 31 occasions each, and "pit" on three occasions. Sheol is therefore the grave, the common place of the dead where men's bodies are subject to decay. The grave is the place where the dead "know not anything . . . their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished . . there is no knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave" (Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10).
"Like sheep they are laid in the grave (sheol); death shall feed on them . and their beauty shall consume in the grave (sheol)" (Psalm 49:14).
There are no exceptions: death and the grave give to men an equality they can never find in life, for:
"There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. The small and the great are there; and the servant is free from his master" (Job 3:17-19).

In the New Testament the word hades is the equivalent of the Hebrew sheol. In the Septuagint - a translation of the Old Testament into Greek, compiled approximately two hundred and fifty years before the birth of Jesus - this word is used almost without exception to represent sheol. In Peter's speech on the Day of Pentecost he quotes from Psalm 16 to prove the resurrection of Jesus and the Greek text of Acts uses the word hades:
"Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither suffer thine Holy One to see corruption" (Acts 2:27).

"Hell Fire"
The third word translated "hell" is gehenna, a term always associated with fire and with one exception only found in the Gospels. The relevant passages in Matthew's record of the Gospel are as follows: 5:22,29,30; 10:28; 18:9; 23:15,33. It is worth observing that there are thus only about half a dozen different references to "hell fire" in the Bible. Of course, even if there were only one, it would still need to be given careful consideration to determine its meaning.

In the face of such clear teaching about death, so easy to understand, what need is there for further explanation? There can be no continuing existence after death either in heaven or hell. The Bible speaks to us simply and logically and leads us inevitably to this conclusion.
This does not mean of course that there is no reward for the righteous or indeed no punishment reserved for the wicked. But whatever these might be, because of the harmony that exists throughout the Bible, such reward or punishment must be consistent with the facts that we have already established. A consideration of what the Scriptures say concerning heaven leads us smoothly onwards in our developing understanding of what the Bible teaches about these vital questions of life and death.

Heaven-God's Dwelling Place
Heaven is God's abiding place.
Of course, in making such a statement we must not limit the power and transcendence of God, whom Scripture teaches to be everywhere present by his Spirit. The Psalmist, meditating upon this omnipresence of God, wrote:
"Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day" (Psalm 139:7-12).
When Solomon built his temple - a house for God to dwell in - he too recognised this truth:
"Behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded" (1 Kings 8:27).

But though God's Spirit fills all space, this truth is compatible with the fact that the Scriptures speak of a "dwelling place". On that same occasion, Solomon besought God for Israel:
"When they shall pray towards this place . . . then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest forgive" (1 Kings 8:30,39,43).

"Our father which art in heaven"
The wise man wrote:
"God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few" (Ecclesiastes 5:2);
and Jesus taught his disciples a format to pray:
"Our father which art in heaven" (Matthew 6:9).

This concept of God's heavenly habitation is summed up in the following passages:
". . . who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see" (1 Timothy 6:16);
"The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men" (Psalm 115:16).
Man has no access into God's presence in heaven via death; but the Lord Jesus, God's only begotten Son, after his resurrection "was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of God" (Mark 16:19).
This again is the logical conclusion to which the Scriptures have led us:
"No man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man" (John 3:13).

The Death State
The question remains, however: What does death involve? In the early chapters of Genesis, we read not only of the creation of man but also of his 'fall' - of the entrance of sin and death into the world. The Lord God commanded the man:
"Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" (Genesis 2:16,17).

Disobedience to God's commandment would bring death. What death involved is made clear when God judged Adam for his sin:
"In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return" (Genesis 3:19).
There was, in effect, to be a reversal of the process of creation. Then God formed man from the dust and breathed into his lifeless body the breath of life, so that he became a living, breathing creature. So, in death, God withdraws that life-giving energy (spirit) of which He alone is the source (see Job 34:14,15; Psalm 36:9); and the body corrupts and disperses into dust (Ecclesiastes 12:7).
"Dust to dust"

It may seem self-evident to say it, but before he was brought into being by the creative power of God, Adam did not exist. If death is the reversal of the creative process then the result must be a cessation of being and the disintegration of the living, breathing creature, whether he be man or animal, for so far as their natural constitution is concerned there is no difference between them: "For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence over a beast . . . All go to one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again" (Ecclesiastes 3:19,20).
The Psalmist writes:
"Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. Behold thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best is altogether vanity O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more" (Psalm 39:4,5,13).

So there is no conscious existence in death: no part of man lives on, either in heaven or hell. There is no extension of being-not even for the righteous. King Hezekiah, a faithful servant of God, wrote:
"For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee . . . the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day" (Isaiah 38:18,19).
And the wise man summarises the position:
"For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not anything . . . Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished . . . 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" (Ecclesiastes 9:5,6,10).

Heaven and Hell, The great controversy..

A grievous error has been made in interpreting the Bible. But the error is not first of all concerned with heaven or hell; the error really grew out of another theory, that all men are born with what is called an 'immortal soul'.

This is variously described as a 'never dying entity', a 'divine spark'; and to it are attributed all the characteristics of what is termed 'the real man' - personality, conscience, reason and understanding, emotions and all the moral qualities of which man is capable.

The body is said to be mortal and corruptible, turning to dust and ashes after death, whereas the soul is immortal and incorruptible and lives on in endless bliss or misery.
And, of course, once one has accepted such a view of human nature, then a belief in some other place or places as the abiding and continuing home(s) of the soul after death becomes a logical necessity. But, if this view of human nature is incorrect, then the popular conceptions of heaven and hell may also be quite false.

I propose therefore briefly to examine the Bible teaching concerning the soul and human nature and then, on this foundation, to establish the reasonable and logical teaching of the Bible concerning the ultimate destiny of the righteous and the wicked.

The Soul
It should be stated at the outset that the phrase 'immortal soul' or 'never dying soul' or indeed any similar expressions are not to be found in the pages of the Bible. Of God alone it is written, "Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto" (1 Timothy 6:16).
Man has no inherent immortality and although the word 'soul' occurs frequently in its pages, the Bible does not teach the idea of something independent of the body that lives on after death.

The Bible account of the creation of man defines the 'soul' quite clearly:
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul" (Genesis 2:7).

It is the man himself, the body formed from the dust, energised by the breath of life (spirit), which is described as "a living soul". The original Hebrew word "nephesh" means simply 'a breathing creature' and it is used not only of man but also of animals. For example:
"moving creatures" ('souls') (Genesis 1:20);
"living creatures" ('souls') (Genesis 2:19);
"every living thing" ('soul') (Genesis 1:28).
It is true that nephesh is adopted for a variety of purposes in later Scriptures.
In the Authorised Version the original word has been translated "soul" 530 times, "life" or "living" 190 times, "persons" 34 times, "beasts", etc. 28 times. Among its other renderings are "self", "heart", "mind", "appetite", "body" etc.
But always its use is associated with the activity of a living, breathing creature and never does it imply anything about the duration of life.
Indeed, far from ascribing immortality to the soul the Bible emphatically declares that it is both capable of dying and by its very nature liable to die:
"He spareth not their soul from death" (Psalm 78:50);
"What man . . . shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave?" (Psalm 89:48);
"The soul that sinneth, it shall die" (Ezekiel 18:4).

We could have no more emphatic testimony that the soul is capable of death.

But do they teach us that the 1611 so-called "inerrant" King James Bible contained fourteen such books, including "Tobit," "Judith," "The idol Bel and the Dragon"? No.

*Do they believe that Christ is totally responsibility for our salvation? Yes.

But do they teach that "no man can" come to Christ of himself (John 6:44)? No.

*Do they believe that Satan is the greatest sinner of all? Yes.

But do they teach Jn. 8:44 which states that Satan "sinned from the beginning?" No.

*Do they believe Christ really died for the sins of the world? Yes.

But do they teach that Jesus Christ was dead when they placed Him in the tomb? No.

*Do they believe the many Scriptures that liken death to "sleep?" Yes.

But do they teach that dead people are unconscious, "sleeping" till resurrection? No.

*Do they believe that the last enemy to be destroyed [Gk: abolished] is death? Yes.

But do they teach that ALL death, including the second death, will be abolished? No.

*Do they believe that all things are possible with God (Mark 10:27)? Yes.

But do they teach that it is possible for God to save nonbelievers after they die? No.

*Do they believe that every tongue in heaven and earth will confess Jesus as LORD? Yes.

But do they teach that the Holy Spirit inspires this sincere voluntary act (I Cor. 12:3)? No.

*Do they believe that good and evil are both in the same tree of knowledge? Yes

But do they teach that good and evil both come from the same root source? No.

*Do they believe that God absolutely "knows all" (I John 3:20)? Yes.

But do they teach that God knows in advance ALL who will reject Christ? No.

*Do they believe the apostles spoke in foreign languages in Acts 2:4-11? Yes.

But do they teach that of the hundreds of thousands who claim to speak in tongues today, not one of them can speak in multiple languages which they did not already study? No.

*Do they believe that the masses did not understand Christ's parables (Mat. 13:13)? Yes.

But do they teach that Christ purposely didn't want them to understand, (Vs. 14-17)? No.

*Do they believe the Old Covenant contained the Ten Commandments (Deut.4:12)? Yes.

But do they teach a New Covenant which contains a much higher law (Heb. 8:8-9)? No.

*Do they believe that God created all the spirits and messengers of heaven? Yes.

But do they teach that God also created Satan who was always His adversary? No.

*Do they believe that loving our enemies means doing good and not evil to them? Yes.

But do they teach that God will never subject His enemies to eternal torture and evil? No.

There seems to be no end to the Scriptural contradictions of Christian beliefs. But we can learn from their mistakes. It is good for us that God makes us dig deep for the precious gems of His word. It really is like searching for hidden treasure. And I have never found a hidden treasure in God's Word that has disappointed me. Each new discovery brings more appreciation for God and His plan of salvation for all.

Brethren, what do you belief?
Examine your beliefs, let no man fool you, never honor any man above the word of God!

I hope this helps..
Thank you for reading through..

Most all Christian theologians would claim to believe the first statement of Scriptural Truth that I present below, especially when I cite a Scripture verse with it, but they will then contradict and refuse to teach the second statement of Truth. Here are a few examples:

*Do they believe the fire in I Cor.3:15 burns mans' works, but not the man himself? Yes.

But do they teach that this same fire in Rev.20:15 also burns works, not the man? No.

*Do they believe that God is the Creator of ALL? Yes.

But do they teach that God created EVIL as He says in (Isa. 45:7)? No.

*Do they believe that God is absolutely and totally sovereign (Eph. 1:11)? Yes.

But do they teach that God exercises sovereignty over man's supposed "free" will? No.

*Do they believe that Jesus Christ IS the Saviour of the whole world (I Jn 4:14)? Yes.

But do they teach that Jesus Christ will SAVE the whole world? No.

*Do they believe that presently Christ only has immortality (I Tim. 6:16)? Yes.

But do they teach the truth therefore that men's souls are mortal and not immortal? No.

*Do they believe that the original manuscripts of God's Word were inerrant? Yes.

But do they teach us that the King James translation, which they say is "inerrant" has gone through THOUSANDS of error corrections since 1611? No.

*Do they believe that the soul that sins shall DIE (Ezek. 18:4)? Yes.

But do they teach that souls of deceased sinners are actually DEAD? No.

*Do they believe there are many cults today that need exposing? Yes.

But do they teach that Christendom, by its OWN definitions, is also a cult? No.

*Do they believe that Sodom is "suffering the vengeance of eternal [aeonian] fire? Yes.

But do they teach that Sodom will be restored to their former estate (Ezek. 16:55)? No.

*Do they believe in a future resurrection of dead people back to life (John 5:29)? Yes.

But do they teach that a resurrection is imperative for dead people to live again? No.

*Do they believe the first half of I Cor. 15:22 that "For as in Adam ALL die?" Yes.

But do they teach the last half, "even so in Christ shall ALL be made alive?" No.

*Do they believe that "...the end of the world [Gk: aion -- age]" ends in Mat. 24:3? Yes.

But do they teach that this same "aion -- age" in Matt. 25:41 & 46 will also end. No.

*Do they believe that Jn 3:13 & Acts 2:34 are truthful Scripture (II Tim. 3:16)? Yes.

But do they teach this truth that "NO man," including David, has gone to heaven? No.

*Do they believe ALL God purposed, spoke, and willed (Isa. 46:10-11), He will do? Yes.

But do they teach that God's "will" to save all, I Tim. 2:4, etc., will be done? No.

*Do they believe that Satan lied when he told Eve, "thou shalt not surely die?" Yes.

But do they teach the truth that sinners really do DIE at death as God has stated? No.

*Do they believe that the Apocryphal books do not belong in the Bible? Yes.

A FEW THOUGHTS REGARDING CHRISTENDOM

Understand that when I use the word "Christendom" I am making reference to Webster's second definition, "The world of Christianity." World in the Greek New Testament is 'kosmos' meaning the system or orderly arrangement of the whole or some part of human society. And so it is this world or system of doctrines and beliefs promulgated by the clergy and theologians of the institutionalized church that I make reference to when using this term. I am not making specific reference to individual members of the "Christian" church who may or may not hold dear to their hearts all of the doctrines of mainstream Christendom. It is sadly true that many who profess Christianity do not know or understand the doctrines of those they follow.

So let it be known that Christendom is made up of dozens of millions of wonderful, sweet, loving and kind people. Many if not most of our neighbors, friends, relatives, and immediate family members are professing Christians. And we love them all! God loves them all! Sadly, however, much of their doctrine and religious beliefs have no basis whatsoever in the Sacred Scriptures. At times I fear that some might mistake my total aversion toward unscriptural Christian doctrines as a sign of my feelings toward those who promulgate these teachings. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you could look down into my heart, you would know that I harbor no ill toward any brother or sister. All will be in God's Family; All will be purged, purified, and perfected, so why have any animosity toward any during this process? We must ALL be processed -- "there is NONE that does good [before God processes him,] no, not ONE" (Rom. 3:12).

Much of Christendom is a religious system of beliefs that are both unscriptural and contradictory -- at times even evil. Often when I quote a Scripture (even without commentary,) people will say to themselves, "Well that can't be. OUR church teaches something totally different." And so they will reject the words of God and continue to cling to the traditions of men. For that reason, let me give you just a few examples of the unscriptural contradictions of traditional Christendom in the hope that God will open the minds of at least some of my readers on facebook.

Small thing, come to Agege, Ikotun, Isolo in Lagos. Ghanaians ti take over. They have taken over the businesses of the locals there, and no one is revolting.
Ghanaians are very poor, the Cedis doesn't have purchasing power and they have no infrastructure. I live there for almost 8 years as a missionary. Many of their private universities can't stand our test of approval here in Nigeria. Nigerians owns one of the largest markets in Accra, Mokola market.
Broke ass, their Cedis is nothing compared to our Naira.
What's so specauls about their passport, nothing.
Donald Trump hates them like shit
