Interesting but the soul is all I'm interested in. And you did say that all souls are in heaven. To me you have a back up and punt post here. You certianly should have picked up before your post that details are very important in the fine points of discussion. I believe from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh and defile a person just as Jesus said. IOW one's words betray them just like they did Peter, 'member?no it is not...i hate when folks say that.
if something doesn't agree with their particular opinion, they say things like the above.
the grave here, refers to where the dead's earthly bodies reside...not their soul. their soul and spirit is in heaven.
it is figurative...
their soul, or spirit, goes to God at flesh death.
it is an easy thing to prove.
the dead are in heaven today...see Matt22, Luk16, 1Thes4 and Rev5/6/12/19/22
the righteous dead leave heaven with Christ at His 2nd Coming,
and they come here with Him,
and are raised here....
then those of us who are alive at that time, are gathered/siezed together with them.
see 1Thes4:13-16
He's talking about the resurrection of the dead. that has not happened yet.
too many Christians errantly think that "resurrection" is for the dead to go from the grave.tombs etc, up to heaven...
when it doesn't mean that at all.
but since they believe that, they believe no one is in heaven today.
problem is that there are MULTIPLE scriptures that plainly show that the dead are in heaven today, concious and some are even working for the Lord.
resurrection means going from heaven, to be raised and live on earth again, as promised.
Ah so this really isn't a discussion, but a I'm right and your wrong childish argument.Hi...that is not the Strong's definition.
here it is.
5315
nephesh
neh'-fesh
from 'naphash' (5314); properly, a breathing creature, i.e. animal of (abstractly) vitality; used very widely in a literal, accommodated or figurative sense (bodily or mental):--any, appetite, beast, body, breath, creature, X dead(-ly), desire, X (dis-)contented, X fish, ghost, + greedy, he, heart(-y), (hath, X jeopardy of) life (X in jeopardy), lust, man, me, mind, mortally, one, own, person, pleasure, (her-, him-, my-, thy-)self, them (your)-selves, + slay, soul, + tablet, they, thing, (X she) will, X would have it.
and? since when is that the determining factor.
i guarentee you that more folks use the correct Strong's than the errant lexicon that you are using.
My hard copy that agrees with your net site says concise Dictionary and not lexicon which in reality turn out to be the same exact thing. The first word defining lexicon is dictionary. Thus my terminolgy and use is 100% correct.ummmm. it is in the STRONG'S Concordance....
maybe not in the lexicon you are using, that you claim to be the Strong's.
Where did I say destroy wasn't where? You must have a reading problem. Destroy is still there. I double checked. I disagreed with cause. I read every jot and title of every post in this thread. Perhaps you don't understand what a definition is. Destroy fully or to destroy isn't a definition of desdroy. It is nothing more than the translated Greek word for destroy as found in Mat 10:28 which is apollymi.lol. that is what you are saying...by implication.
funny thing is that you cannot even see it yourself.
you are trying to tell me that destroy is not there, and i say it is,
just not in the english definition that you use.
it was not an insult.
i thought it was a proper retort to your insult about destroy not being there.
and of course it is, both in english and in the Greek definition, as i showed.
I can find no connection between destroy an annihilate from the word destroy. So your incorrect in applying destroy to annihilate. And you're using the word destroy to mean annihilate. My DI in basic training would shout in my face THAT'S A NO GO SOLDIER!! NOW GIVE ME 20 and knew I better hit the dirt while saying yes Drill Sergent very meekly.to destroy fully means just that, if it is context to our soul.
just what can exist after the soul is destroyed fully? nothing can.
No foolin, ya really mean itno, i am promoting that i am right, over you.
and i see that as the truth
So if you keep repeating yourself with no proof you think I'm gonna be intimidated to your position. My that is funny no offense intended but I'm not zactly stuipd. Cocky yes and I can affort to be.and? numbers don't mean what you think they do.
whether two or four or eight or millions post errant things, that does not make them right.
it is not a secret that many confuse theStrong's for other lexicons that happen to have stolen, or use the Strong's NUMBERING system.
they add their OWN definition, dependig on their denom and belief.
Now if I were to answer that I'd get into trouble, so I'm gonna be smart and say nothing more about the issue of us seeing eye to eye and coming to the same side of the fence. I believe that Paul says you are my enemy. Note to you and the asministration I DIDN'T SAY YOU WEREN'T OR IMPLY YOU'RE NOT A CHRISTIAN OK.why not?
i think it is more a matter of mis communication.
if we were one to one in person, we'd probably have no problem getting our points across
We read a different book. So sorry.no...all the dead who have died up till now, are in heaven now.
the faithfull get rasied back here for life ever after when Jesus leaves hevaen with them and raises them here on earth.
the evil ones get raised back here a thousand years later, for judgement where they are destroyed forever.
that is not universalism.
I knew you didn't. And have plenty reason to believe you won't. Thus we really don't have a conversation about anything.no, did you go to the site I provided?
Hey we agree on something.there are plenty of good sites out there, and plenty of bad ones/misleading ones.
who's to say...depends on what you believe....
and btw, there are next to no unbiased sites or theories.
resurrection means going from heaven, to be raised and live on earth again, as promised.
problem is that there are MULTIPLE scriptures that plainly show that the dead are in heaven today, concious and some are even working for the Lord.
resurrection means going from heaven, to be raised and live on earth again, as promised.
Hey even I would be interested in some Scripture for support.Chapter and verse please.
no it is not...i hate when folks say that.
if something doesn't agree with their particular opinion, they say things like the above.

I don't believe those scriptures mean that a day is actually a thousand years but that time means nothing to God. By saying that something in Adam didn't die that day is the same lie the serpent told Eve when she was being tempted: From previous post: #1 Doesn't that sound like the same lie the serpent gave Eve in Gen. 3:4; ye shall not surely die? [/QUOTE]I did read your previous post - I know that the "curse of death" passed to all of us as a result of his eating of the tree but God said "in the day that thou (you) eatest thereof thou (you) shalt surely die." Something in Adam died that day - and I know that he did not die physically because he was still breathing! BUT something died or God lied to him. I don't believe God lied to him - I believe that he died spiritually and that is why we must be born again and that is why we need Jesus Christ to reconcile us back to God.
With a problem using 2 Pet 3:8 why would you have such? All scripture is given for the correction, reproof and instruction. All scripture points to how God thinks...the bible is the mind of God in print per se...
Peter might have used it (the thousand day for a day) in his addressing the 2 coming of Christ but David also used it in Psalms 90:4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. KJ
So here Peter didn't use it David did...It shows the passing of time as we count it is nothing to God. He is Eternal!
gota go again,,,will get back to ya....Y
The problem I have with using 2 Peter 3:8 to explain why Adam didn't die "that day" is #1 Doesn't that sound like the same lie the serpent gave Eve in Gen. 3:4; ye shall not surely die? and #2 - 2 Peter 3:8 is referring to the 2nd coming of Christ. 2 Peter 3:4 Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. . . .v8 "that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years one day The Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some men count slackness but is longsuffering to us-ward not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. . .
actually, it did not.The definition I used came from Strong's Concordance with Greek and Hebrew. . www.tgm/bible.htm (Bible Tools)
LOL!!! Well at lest I understand what tangent means to you.
i agree if you mean the flesh body. it is gone......dust.Now lets address my talking dust.
When the body dies it returns to dust. 19In 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. Gen 3
i don't say that.We have people here saying that the soul also dies at this time meaning that it disinaggrates or disppears into nothing.
again, i don't say that...which is why i did not understand your tangent.Yet we have Jesus saying these non existant (dead) beings are talking (at least the one in hell) with someone.
that is how i see it...Now what is talking? The only thing that remains of a man as some would have us believe is dust. He no longer has a soul because God took it back (indian giver) or it must have been on loan to a mud pile (human - we are 75% water and 25% dust, I'd call that sloppy mud). Is the breath God breathed into man a soul? Or did man become a living soul when God breathed into him (the breath of life) and he became a living soul.
Some here wish to put man on the same level of animals. But I ask where did God breathe into them? All animal life was spoken into existence as it is even today. There is no indication that animals can or will be redeemed.
We also have the problem of Jesus saying both body and soul. So they must be 2 different items. There are words in the Greek for the words 'both,' 'body' and 'soul.' So it isn't some thing peculiar to English to make sense with our language to use all 3 words.
So if the breath (soul as some insist) of all (as in everyone - no exceptions) goes back to heaven, what is it that is being tomented in hell or is that really heaven because that is where all souls (breath) are as some insist?
sorry, since i don't teach what you think i do for some reason, you are loosing me here.It has to be dust because it is the only thing left. This is also universal salvation of all - willing or not.
it does for me, because the rich man could see the throne and Abraham and Lazarus.So now we have a problem with what heaven and hell are. If I poke a little fun of the the idea that torment occurs in heaven would it be a problem for you? Torment in heaven just doesn't work for me.
what is left of us after we die, returns to God.In light of the above and the discussion in this thread I have trouble placing the soul which isn't talked about returning anywhere or even dying in the sense of being non functional or lacking in emotional or communicative functions. Breath has no emotional capabilities, it can't speak nor does it have a tongue.

No I don't think I confused you with anybody else. But I did throw everyone in the thread into the same pot of stew including myself. This is a public discussion and not a private conversation.
thank youI have no problem with you presenting what you believe.
na, it's just that i'd like to be understood properlyIf you wish to provide uncontested doctrine, GT isn't the place.
sure, but it is not so nice for them on their side.I do find it interesting that even the wicked get to enjoy heaven for a period of time.
if you really wanna go where he is....ok then...Just more reason to party hearty cause they get to go to heaven just like those holier than thou types.
well, it's from someone's mis-perspective.So what is the value of being holier than thou? None that I can see. Of course this is from your perspective and not mine.
well, where are Abraham and Lazarus?I would really love to see evidence that the wicked go to heaven, especially from the Scripture. Should prove interesting and eye opening for me.
Well, I wonder why scripture says: "for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die"?
greek does read destroyed fullyI don't get this view from Scripture. The English doesn't read destroy(ed) fully. Considering Jesus' statement in Luke 16 that I posted I don't see how one can come to your conclusion on Mat 10:28. One must take the whole counsel of Scripture.
In my hard copy dictionary the word destroy has no meaning to provide the idea of annihiliation.
sure it does, but one has to stay in context.The word annihiliation doesn't appear in the list of synonyms either. To fully destroy something doesn't include the connotation of non existence in any form.
that is because it is like the original hard copy.I've looked at your cited site version of Strongs and have no problem with it.
i did, and was not impressed with yours, which is why i commented.I ask you to comapre each word in both sites.
really?I think you will find both sites/versions containing the same exact words. My site/citation does include a little more but nothing that interfers with the truth that I can see.
i didn't say that it was wrong...i said it was not the Strong's definition.If you think so, please discuss and not just bold and say you disagree. Because my site doesn't match your site is no cause to say mine is wrong.
post yours again and well see.As you indicated that is being childish in a I'm right and your wrong nanna, nannah, nanna attitude as theexpresses.

Did I make an unreasonable request?
they could see each other and talk to each other.one was in bliss, and one was in a condition of torment, not physical torment.Is this not convoluted and not found in the Scripture? It doesn't mean the same place as previously indicated (by you I think) from all souls going to heaven. Lots of difference there.
they were on the same plain of existance, as they could communicate and see each other.
good for it...lol.and again, i have never said that the soul ceases to exist at flesh death....OK are you going to make me search the thread or can you kindly repeat what you said about death? I can. Generally my comments are in reference to the whole thread and not focused specifically on you or your commments. Again this is a public discussion.
rather at judgement.
i think that is where you got confused. it happens.
I provided for your convience the site I c&p from. Yes it isn't your site or demanded format. I still see no comparison argument for proving it to present fraudlent information. Yes you did bold some of the c&p that I provided. I don't see any proof the bolded was fraudulent. All I saw was that you disagreed with my presentation. No problemo. If you wish to establish your point submit proof.
Where is your support for annihilation?
it means can, and that there is a possibility.Is able doesn't remotely mean does, did or will.
First of all you must establish that this does or will occur.
There is no support in Mat 10:28 for annihilation.
since the event in question has not happened yet, and it is a warning, the wording was used as it was.You did say if which means there is or can be a question about annihilation. Now there are many Bible versions that use the word can. I understand the the word can and the phrase is able to mean the same thing. So we are still at the same place unless of course you can show the word can to mean did or does.
Sorry I don't follow this in relationship to the topic. I can understand this in relation to something being deprived from me, but not in relationship to my non existance. Yes in that sense I would be deprived from existence. And so what? If one does't exist how is that punishment or a threat?
are you serious? dude, it's outright different.I think they rightly mock people who have little understanding of what they say. PC speech stinks.Please show how the c&p I posted is in error. I didn't show how my c&p is different from yours. That is obvious.
So what makes one wrong or evil? How foolish do you think I am to not realize this? So what is your real point? Mine does appear exactly like yours.
I'll let you have it your way - this really is buger King. Isn't this being childish as you pointed out previously? I think so. Do you seem to think that I now agree with your opinion on annihilation or that gehenna is annihilated in the lake of fire? Amazing!
to what?What did you try? To convert me?
I see this as a desire to not communicate.
sure. i do it for you often lately.I've had to go back and look for what your simple non attached responses where about. Can't you do the same?
i believe all souls go back to God when they die.Hey I am just passing through here on an off day.
But I have to ask if you really believe wicked souls go to heaven? I am referring to your second sentence in the second paragraph.
Hi Zeke,i believe all souls go back to God when they die.
the good on one side, the bad on the other.
both sides can see each other and even communicate.
an impossible to pass gulf inbetween
the good side is great
the bad side is not.
Ah so this really isn't a discussion, but a I'm right and your wrong childish argument.no problemo.

The first word defining lexicon is dictionary. Thus my terminolgy and use is 100% correct.
what you posted was not the Strong's.What I quoted wasn't from the concordance part of the publication. What I posted as a c&p from my site is also correct and in agreement.
my bad...annihilation = destroy fullyWhere did I say destroy wasn't where? You must have a reading problem. Destroy is still there. I double checked. I disagreed with cause. I read every jot and title of every post in this thread.
