You gave me one verse for two questions. I figured my questions may not have been specific enough which is why I elaborated on them. So again, do you believe that you have an immortal soul, and that hell is eternal? Also, does scripture point to a time when God declared the sabbath to no longer be His holy day?
I think that if you're going to come in to the Adventist forum and ask about our beliefs that you should be willing to answer questions about your own. If you asked me a question and I simply gave you scirpture without an explanation, I doubt you'd be willing to accept that.
I gave you the same scripture because that is where my answer comes from . Again:
Matthew 10:28
28And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
An understanding of the nature of the soul:
Hebrews 6:18-20
18That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
19Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
1 Peter 1: 18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
22Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren,
John 6:29
29Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Romans 10:9
9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
I believe His Word John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
These then are things that can destroy the soul in a place called hell. (I believe it)
Hebrews 3:12
12Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
Colossians 2:8
8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
