    Wouldn't it be unfair of God?

    When a soul dies, the person dies. Unless a person "believes in him" (the son) he will not be rewarded with eternal life but will die the death that was imposed upon Adam. "in Adam all have sinned"....."all are dust and return to dust". "The wages of sin is death". Adam's sin has condemned all...

    Wouldn't it be unfair of God?

    When it's said that the soul can die it means that the soul is immortal(deathless) and will continue to exist? But when it's said that the body dies it means the body is no longer living?

    Wouldn't it be unfair of God?

    When Jesus died he had committed his spirit or breath of life to the Father and his dead soul was put in the grave. When Jesus was raised from the dead his spirit or breath returned to him from God who gives it and his soul became alive again and came out of the grave. This truth has been lost...

    Wouldn't it be unfair of God?

    Here's another example (there are many) where man's doctrine has been passed into the Scripture. Ecc 3:19 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...

    Wouldn't it be unfair of God?

    David was a prophet who spoke of the resurrection of Christ when he says that Jesus' soul was not left in the grave. But the spirit returns to God who gave it. Therefore, the soul and spirit are NOT the same thing! It is only false doctrine which makes them to be the same thing. Jesus had...

    Wouldn't it be unfair of God?

    c We need to be careful when studying the Scriptures because men have been adding, changing and removing words from the them in order to suit their false doctrines. A good example of this is Acts 2:27 where many translations have removed the word "soul".

    Wouldn't it be unfair of God?

    I accept the Holy Scriptures to be the inspired word of God. I don't go outside of them looking to refute what they say. Was Adam told he had an immortal soul that would suffer torment for all eternity? Maybe. Can doctrine of Scripture be base on maybe's? I don't think so.

    Wouldn't it be unfair of God?

    When created, Adam's nature was earthy. Which means he was created from the earth. That nature has to be changed in order to have eternal life. Paul explains by saying that those in the resurrection will have a spiritual body as opposed to the natural earthy body like Adam had when he was...

    Wouldn't it be unfair of God?

    To die spiritually is an invention of man. The Bible never says anything about Adam or anyone else as dying spiritually. When Adam ate of the tree he was sentenced to death....on that very day, Adam came under the death sentence. And all who are born into this world are under the same death...

    I'm not JW. I'm one who believes death means dead and alive means living,

    Wouldn't it be unfair of God?

    I think it would be unfair of God to NOT tell Adam he had an immortal soul that would either go to be with God or go to eternal torment if Adam chose to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil or not. To be fair, God could have told Adam that by his eating of the tree he would go to...

    Christians only: Judgment?

    No one is saved apart from Christ. It doesn't matter how "good" they are. No one is righteous, says the Scripture. Those apart from Christ have been judged already. They were condemned to die the death of Adam. That means they die and go to the grave and are never heard from again. That's the...

    Scripture Of The Day: 33

    The penalty for Adam's sin resulted in death. All humans die and return to dust. "From dust you are and to dust you shall return". The "resurrection of life" comes through Jesus. That means that all who are in him will come out of their graves. those who had been faithful will be raised...

    Heaven and Occupancy

    Are you referring to the heavens or the heaven of heavens? 2Co 12:2 I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago—whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God has known—such a one being snatched up to the third heaven; There is the heaven where God...

    Christians Only: What is The Purpose of Prayer?

    Context is important in order to gain a proper understanding of a passage. let's add a little context to a verse you quoted. Joh 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my...

    Baptism for the dead

    I don't think Paul is saying that a living person can be baptized for a dead person as a proxy. The context of the chapter concerns the resurrection of the dead and not baptism. "Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized...

    Scripture of The Day: 29

    In verse 1 Paul says "Therefore" which means that he is referencing what he said previously. If you look back at the previous chapters, Paul speaks of how the law has brought DEATH to man. Being condemned by the law was to be condemned to death. Death is permanent unless one is raised from the...
