That's true.Earth will never cease - Ecclesiastes 1:4 B; Psalm 14:5
What will cease are the unrepentant wicked people - Psalms 92:7; 104:35; 145:20; Proverbs 2:22; 2nd Peter 3:9
No, this is not what the Bible tells us, this is what the Governing Body of the JW church told you.Thus, the only way for consciousness to return is by way of Resurrection ( being restored back to live life again - Acts 24:15 )
Being awakened from death's sleep because of being in God's memory ( No DNA needed ) - John 11:11-14
This is what the Bible tells us
Acts 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
The Bible does not say ANYTHING about being restored back to live life on Earth again.
The Bible does not say ANYTHING about being awakened from death's sleep because of being in God's memory.
So what does it mean to say that here shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust?
Resurrection of the dead means that the dead will pass from one world into another and continue to live.
Death of the body is merely a continuation of life in another world.
421. When the body is no longer able to perform the bodily functions in the natural world that correspond to the spirit’s thoughts and affections, which the spirit has from the spiritual world, man is said to die. This takes place when the respiration of the lungs and the beatings of the heart cease. But the man does not die; he is merely separated from the bodily part that was of use to him in the world, while the man himself continues to live. It is said that the man himself continues to live since man is not a man because of his body but because of his spirit, for it is the spirit that thinks in man, and thought with affection is what constitutes man. Evidently, then, the death of man is merely his passing from one world into another. And this is why in the Word in its internal sense “death” signifies resurrection and continuation of life.
What the 'Christian' above wrote above is congruent with the Bible.
The physical body returns to the earth and the spirit returns to God, who resides in the spiritual world.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
