You are a soul, you do not have a soul.
When you die you are dead.
There is no thought or awareness in death.
It will be just like before you were born.
You need to detatch yourself from all those pagan notions of an eternal soul apart from your body.
Eternal life is a gift God gives to whom He will, it is not something you are born with.
The wages of sin is death not life.
Rev. 6:9
9 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; 10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O [k]Lord, holy and true, [l]will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
I guess these souls are just dead but can talk?
The greek word in that verse actually means "owner/master", the same word used by Peter in 2 Peter 2
Young) 2 Peter 2:1 And there did come also false prophets among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall bring in besides destructive sects,
and the Owner/Master who bought them disowning, bringing to themselves quick destruction
[Jeremiah 14:14,15/Matt 24:11/Jude 1:4/Revelation 6:10]
Reve 6:10 And they cry out to a great voice saying "how long, the Owner/Master/despothV <1203> the Holy and True, not Thou are judging and avenging the blood of us from out of the ones homing upon the land?"
Strong's Concordance with Hebrew and Greek Lexicon
Strong's Number G1203 matches the Greek δεσπότης (despotēs), which occurs 10 times in 10 verses in the Greek concordance of the KJV
1203. despotes des-pot'-ace perhaps from 1210 and posis (a husband); an absolute ruler ("despot"):--Lord, master.
Oy vey! communication is difficult! Think I got the expression correct.You are a soul, you do not have a soul.

Wow! I'm wondering what is you promote since we are at odds. If I promote grace what you promote can't be grace. I certianly don't promote the law. So what are the options? What exactly are you promoting and defending? To promote and defend is to be pro something.i'm regret that you feel that i'm trying to convert you. that is simply not my intent.
i've always thought that i simply answered questions presented to me and interjected my take.
they say i'm in the "pro law" camp, but i don't see it that way.
i've said in this forum repeatedly that keeping the law or keeping the commandments, whichever way you want to state it, will save no one.
i believe that the law God gave to israel expresses His ways, which is the way of love.
the commandments don't make anyone righteous.
the commandments are righteousness, ps 119:172.
the commandments define sin.
we have all sinned and deserve death.
there is none righteous.
without the sacrifice of the Christ, we have no hope!
i have read the bible all the way through like a novel, 4 times.
Great point. Definitely shows possession.Acts 7:59
59 They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!
Luke 23:46
46 And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, Father, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT. Having said this, He breathed His last.
Jesus and Stephen disagree with you. What spirit did Stephen and Jesus ask God to receive? Why would they commend their spirit to God if they had no spirit to commend?
I agree and love your II Pet reference. Makes some great points! Bbless you, you rascal.

Obviously this is too difficult for you.Oy vey! communication is difficult! Think I got the expression correct.
The body dies and ceases to exist. The soul never dies - ceases to exist. Yes you're go.ing to quote destroy in hell. The word in Mat 10:28 doesn't convey the meaning of annihilation.
Yes, God knows things before they happen, He knows the end from the beginning.God tells us He knew us since before the foundation of the world.
No, John was seeing a vision filled with symbols and medaphores.John says its literal. He was instructed by the angel to ONLY write that which he was a witness of. Your issue is with John not with me.

Your problem is with not understanding what is going on in the scriptures.
Yep and what he witnessed was a vision filled with medaphores and symbols.No, John was testifying to what he witnessed.
That's good avice that you should take.Read Rev. 1.

I wondering what this post has to do with the topic. Is there some reason for it?
A little cleansing is good for the soul and the house
Why no mention of "gehenna" in Paul's Epistles?
Matthew 23:2 saying "upon the seat of Moses are seated the Scribes and the Pharisees
33 "Serpents! produce of vipers! how? ye may be fleeing from the judging of the geennhV <1067>
Ezekiel 39:12 And house of Israel bury them so that to purify/cleanse the land seven months.
And all of people of the land bury them.................
