Gr8 job Huckster!! I'm so glad to run across ppl speaking the TRUTH instead of man-made traditions. God is "Just", but not cruel. I am so thankful He showed me the truth and used scripture to do it. So much of what Jesus said when He spoke of Gehenna was quotes from the OT. Like Isa 66:24 for just one example. The bible is very symbolic. We have to look at how scripture is used throughout the bible to come to the clear understanding as to what is actually meant.
@CBALLEN after reading my comments if you want to argue...then argue with the word.... I give scriptures and you give me your opinions and condem. move on please.
@CBALLEN We read in John 5:26 that the “Father hath life in himself,” and that He hath “given to the Son to have life in Himself.” But nowhere do we read that God gave to human beings to have life in themselves. That is why the Bible never speaks of man as immortal. Immortality is a gift given to those that keep Gods commandments.
@CBALLEN 1 Timothy 6:16. Here we learn that God “only hath immortality.” This final text settles the matter as conclusively as words could possibly do, and explains fully why we are exhorted to “seek” immortality, and why we are told that immortality is something that is to be “put on” “at the last trump.”
@CBALLEN Romans 2:7. In this text the Christian is exhorted to “seek” for immortality. Why should he seek for it if he already possesses it? “The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.” Rom. 6:23. Why would we need this gift if we already had undying souls?
1 Corinthians 15:53. when we shall receive immortality. “at the last trump.”Then “this mortal must put on immortality.” Why should Paul speak of our putting on immortality at a future date if we already possess it?
@CBALLEN Adam and Eve were mortal but had access to the tree of life. When Adam sinned, he and Eve were barred from the Garden of Eden and the tree of life. From that moment on: Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
No, the undying, immortal soul is not mentioned in the Bible. The word "immortal" is found only once in the Bible, and it is in reference to God 1 Timothy 1:17
@CBALLEN Genesis 2:7 "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being [soul]." So when we die, the reverse of creation takes place, where our breath goes back to God. .....Isaiah 8.20 To the law and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
@CBALLEN At the second coming, the Lord will call, and we will be changed in a moment, and will answer Him:
Job 14:14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Ecclesiastes 12:7 "Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it."
