LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

[Earburner]

all humans do have a soul indeed my friend .
But as for many their soul shall be cast into a fiery lake of fire .
But , dont get all scared and worried . THERE IS A SOLUTION . A WAY OUT .
HIS NAME BE JESUS THE CHRIST and BOY DO I highly suggest we st art POINTING ALL TO HIM .
Do be encouraged .

I will be straight to the point by the authority of the Holy Spirit: You are "parroting" the LIES of the religion of "church-ianity", ever since St Jerome in 343-420 AD. of the RCC, then through the "Protestant Reformation", and upto this very moment.

well adam was once alive as was eve
but when they ate of of the tree , death came upon them , the curse upon them .

Many be as the idol , having eyes but see not , ears but hear not
And as in adam they shall die . BUT NOT IN JESUS .
Awake thou that sleepest .............RUN TO CHRIST JESUS and have naught to do with the grand lie
that has now come to seduce all tribes of all denominations and religoins
to be as one and find common ground . For on the day of the LORD
its all going DOWN to THE GROUND and far into the pits of destruction .
Just a friendly reminder to us all .

Still....you are not understanding!!
Death was present in the Garden of Eden.

In the day of their creation by God, A&E never had eternal existence of any kind.
They were not good, or evil.
They were simply INNOCENT, subject to permanent DEATH at anytime.

Like I said: Moses, the writer of Genesis, had NO understanding about what Chemistry 101 was.
To breathe AIR, is to breathe OXYGEN.
(Ref. my posts #289, 297, 301 and 304)

So there,... I gave you the answer to WHAT "THE BREATH OF LIFE" IS, and how "the LIFE OF the flesh IS IN the blood".
Do YOU now understand???
If not, then talk to any medical nurse or doctor, and they will tell you the same.

If you don't breathe in OXYGEN, ALL the millions of different cells that make up your flesh WILL DIE because there was NO Oxygen being carried to them BY YOUR BLOOD CELLS!!
GOT IT??
**Edit: (Ref. my posts #289, 297, 301, 304 and 305).

Q. NOW.... please tell me, what did Adam, Moses, St. Jerome, or Martin Luther (1483-1546AD) know about the gaseous element of Oxygen??
A. Absolutely NOTHING!!
Oxygen was discovered in 1777AD.

 

[Davy]

When you can understand KJV Gen. 2:7, then you will KNOW what KJV Lev. 17:11 is actually saying, and WHAT it was that God "breathed" into Adam, that MADE him to become a living soul,
Again.... Moses, the writer of Genesis, was never a student of Chemistry 101.
(Ref. my post #289).

Until You grasp what I am saying, you have no idea how the scriptures will be opened up to you, so that you can be delivered by the Holy Spirit from the vain religious teachings of "church-ianity".
Edit: (Ref. my posts #289, 297, 301, 304 and 305)

You're the one NOT understanding Genesis 2:7. The "breath of life" God breathed into Adam is how Adam's spirit and soul got put into his flesh body. And even then, like Eccl.12:5-7 states, it involves the "silver cord" that attaches one's spirit/soul with their flesh body. So in reality, that means our spirit/soul even while in... our flesh body, is still a separate part our being that is NOT flesh.

What you have believed instead is of the old Jewish doctrine of flesh existence about spirit and soul, and not about one's spirit and soul being of that other dimension, the heavenly. That's likely why Nicodemus in John 3 didn't understand this either, because of the Jewish traditional belief about Gen.2:7.

Like Jesus said to Nicodemus...

John 3:12
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
KJV

John 3:6
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
KJV

 

[JLB]

This question was asked AI: If the Rapture of the Church occurred with over 2 billion people taken out of the Great Tribulation that just started and were caught up into Heaven, what advice would you give those left behind?

AI answer:

"Seek salvation and endure persecution

• Repent and put your faith in Jesus: The Bible states that salvation will still be possible during the Tribulation. A great multitude of people from every nation will come to faith during this time. Your first step should be to repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ as your savior.
• Understand the cost: Accepting Christ during the Tribulation will likely come at a heavy price. The Antichrist will demand worship and allegiance, and many new believers will be persecuted and killed for their faith. The Bible says, "the one who endures to the end will be saved" (Matthew 24:13).
• Refuse the Mark of the Beast: The book of Revelation warns that anyone who takes the Mark of the Beast will be subject to God's wrath. No matter the hardship—including an inability to buy or sell—you must refuse this mark on your hand or forehead.

Prepare practically and spiritually

• Find a Bible: Bibles will become extremely rare, and you will need to find one to understand God's plan and promises. Seek a physical copy, as electronics may fail or be used for control.
• Avoid the new world religion: Do not attend any churches that remain, as they are believed to be controlled by the False Prophet. This false religion will promote deception and false miracles. Seek other true believers for underground fellowship instead.
• Leave urban areas: Jesus advised those in Judea to flee to the mountains to escape persecution. Large cities and populated areas will likely be dangerous and tightly controlled by the Antichrist's forces.

Do not despair

• Recognize the deception: The world will be flooded with propaganda and false explanations for the disappearance of millions of people. Do not believe these lies, such as stories of alien abductions.
• Trust in God's provision: While life will be extremely difficult, the Bible gives accounts of God protecting and providing for his followers during times of severe trial. Seek wisdom and trust that God will help you endure.
• Share the message with others: Your survival through faith can serve as a testament to others. Though you will need to be vigilant, you can help guide other people toward salvation.
• Keep your eyes on the end: The Tribulation is not the end of the story. After this period, Jesus Christ will return in power and glory to establish His kingdom and bring the final defeat of evil."

_________<<<&<<<__<<________

Actually, I couldn't have summed it up better - not bad!
So the prize of eternal salvation is waiting for whosoever calls out to Jesus and asks for forgiveness and puts their faith in Him. Though you will likely suffer and die, you'll be saved.

The rapture and resurrection takes place at the coming of the Lord.


For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 1 Thessalonians 4:15


The Second Coming of Christ.

At the moment, I am sorry that you are not understanding all that I have said on page #15 and#16. Unfortunately the roots of corruption, by "religious church-ianity" has infected many so badly with the "eternal soul" mumbo-jumbo, that most hardly ever do escape their confounded LIES.

Do you not know that such a foul fabrication has corrupted every biblical doctrine and concept that one can think of??
According to "them", every unsaved person is now in a forever burning hell, suffering eternal torment forever and ever. Really??

WHY wouldn't it simply be that all of such CAN'T live forever, just because they DON'T HAVE God's ETERNAL Holy Spirit, and therefore they CANNOT EVER "LIVE AGAIN"???
No!! "They" won't allow the truth of it, because, "they" say: "God gave man an ETERNAL soul".
I say, to all that agree to "their" way of thinking, they also are a LIAR!!

Now... you are bearing false witness, showing it is you that is telling LIES and that the Truth is not in you.

So go on, follow your 'false Jews' teachings from the "synagogue of Satan" instead of heeding God's Truth written in His Word. I'll bet you love that Babylonian Talmud philosophy of the false Jews instead of God's Word. That's why you cannot understand what Christ Jesus and His Apostles taught in The New Testament.

 

[Truth7t7]

I 100% belive Jesus will return on a horse with millions of horses with saints mounted on them as seen in Rev 19.

Rev 14:14 is not and can not be that return of rev 19.
Impossible.

So the "one coming" fallacy is laid to rest?

Acts 1 " like manner" return is the "rapture coming" ( MAIN HARVEST)
Preceeded by FIRSTFRUITS JESUS.
( again , main harvest, grain harvest)

Rev 14 14 is JEWISH HARVEST.
Preceeded by FIRSTFRUIT JEWS.
( 144,000 OF THEM)
(Fruit harvest)

Firstfruit Jews is not nor can it be FIRSTFRUITS JESUS.

What You Believe Has Absolutely Nothing To Do With Biblical Truth, You Run From The Fact "Fire" In God's Wrath Is Seen In Revelation 14:18-19 At The Lord's Return "Why"?

Once Again

You conveniently forgot to mention Verses 18-19 below "Why"? "Smiles"!

It's exactly the very same fire seen throughout scripture at the Lord's second coming Luke 17:29-30 being just one example, Jesus returns in fire (The End)

Revelation 14:18-19KJV
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

(Destroyed Them All)

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

 

[Earburner]

Now... you are bearing false witness, showing it is you that is telling LIES and that the Truth is not in you.

So go on, follow your 'false Jews' teachings from the "synagogue of Satan" instead of heeding God's Truth written in His Word. I'll bet you love that Babylonian Talmud philosophy of the false Jews instead of God's Word. That's why you cannot understand what Christ Jesus and His Apostles taught in The New Testament.

Lol!!! There is nothing Jewish about my teachings at all.

However, Adam, Moses, St. Jerome and Martin Luther were dumb as a rock, when it came to understanding how the mortal human body works.

Surely you do know what our blood does for every living cell in our bodies. It carries Oxygenated AIR to them so that all of you and I can stay mortally alive!! Oxygenated AIR IS "The Breath of life"

As for Eternal existence, please learn this:
Without Christ WITHIN any one of us, it is IMPOSSIBLE for any of us to HAVE Eternal life or Eternal existence of any kind!!
Do you comprehend that??

Who did you think "The Tree of Life" was in the Garden? A bunch of Figs or Olives??
No!! It was the Eternal Christ!

Because A&E had partaken of the wrong tree first, God could NOT allow them to partake of the Tree of Eternal life. Therefore they were booted out of the Garden, and were kept away from the Tree of Life, LEST they partake of it and live forever!!
Did you hear that??

Q. Without partaking of the Tree of Life, who is Christ,......HOW DOES a "living soul" stay alive forever??
A. It can't and it doesn't!!

What is wrong with you??
Think this through by the Holy Spirit of God and WHAT He teaches, and not that which is taught by the stupid wisdom of men of church-ianity!!
Study all of KJV 1 Cor. ch. 2.

12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
KJV

John 3:6
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
KJV

I asked Chat about the silver cord.

What Is the “Silver Cord” in Ecclesiastes 12:6? (Biblically Explained) ​

Ecclesiastes 12:6–7 (KJV):

“Or ever the silver cord be loosed… Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return unto God who gave it.”

This is Hebrew poetry, and the Bible actually explains its own symbolism in the very next verse.

---

The Symbols (v.6)​

• Silver cord → the fragile connection of life
• Golden bowl → the head/mind, like a lamp bowl
• Pitcher & wheel → the heart and circulation

When these break, physical life ends.

---

The Literal Explanation (v.7)​

Solomon immediately interprets the imagery:

• “Dust returns to the earth” — the body dies (Hebrew: aphar, dust)
• “Spirit returns to God” — the breath of life goes back to Him (Hebrew: ruach = breath, wind, life-breath; not a conscious ghost)

This is simply the reversal of Genesis 2:7.

---

Supported by the Rest of Scripture​

The Bible is consistent:

• “The dead know not anything.” — Eccl. 9:5
• “His thoughts perish.” — Ps. 146:4
• “Man lies down and does not rise till the resurrection.” — Job 14:12
• “Many who sleep in the dust shall awake.” — Dan. 12:2

Death = unconscious sleep until the resurrection.

---

Confirmed by Major Commentators​

This is not a fringe view — it is standard:

• Matthew Henry: “The silver cord is the union of body and soul… when it is loosed, life ends.”
• Barnes Notes: “The cord of life is snapped.”
• Keil & Delitzsch: “The golden bowl symbolizes the head; the breaking of the cord depicts death.”

---

Short Summary​

The silver cord is a poetic way of describing the life-connection God gives.
When it breaks, the body returns to dust, and the breath of life returns to God.
The Bible itself interprets the symbol, and the rest of Scripture fully supports it.

frankly who gives a rip about oxygen my friend .
OR what st jerome said . As far as marin luther , I would not beleive EVERY thing he said . THOUGH
he did have some good truths .
Just because oxygen was discovered in Seventeen seventy and seven , Dont mean it was not in existance before that date .
As far as breathing in oxygene . That aint gonna save one . It might sustain the life of his carnal body
BUT ONLY JESUS can save the very soul of man . SO on that note
Let us have absolutely NOTHING to do with the harlots ecumenical cup .

 

[amigo de christo]

Yes, I am familiar with this view of the two winessess representing the churches.
1. Yet how do hundreds of faithful millions ( a presumed portion of the 2.7 billion who claim to be Christians) get murdered _ in one day _ and lay dead in the street of Jerusalem for 3 1/2 days?
You are avoiding that question. Let's see what your symbolism comes up with. ???
2. Your implication that the other five Christian churches in Revelation ( if I am getting this correct) are a synagogue of Satan? Many were scolded but notnall dead. Ephesus had good doctrine, yet lost their first love ( a bit cold). One was almost dead, another lukewarm, but they still had some life. Pergamum was where Satan's throne was, though they remained faithful with a few off the path who followed teachings if the Nicolaotains.
These were 1st century Christian churches that had problems as do churches today. They were also church types that existed throughout the Church Age.
3. To think all five of the remaining churches will be cut off is a mistake.
4. And then to identify Philadelphia and Symrna as the two witnesses would mean that during that Great Tribulation, hundreds of millions of Christians would be given supernatural powers to cause droughts, kill anyone who opposes them, cause plagues, turn water into blood ... ??? This alone shreds your view.
It is two men ( Likely Elijah and Enoch - neither of them died) who are dressed in sackcloth and come to Jerusalem and preach ti the Jews fir 1260 days, the are killed, lie in the street for 3.5 days then come to life again, are taken up. This may be our time of the Rapture.

One thing i know . WHEN the master of the house rises up
and has closed the door , ALL outside will wail .
But the sheep will forever be with THE KING who saved us . A far far better and greater place awaits the sheep .
THANKS BE TO GOD and TO CHRIST for that . cause we sure didnt earn or deserve it . So
lets be thanking GOD , Christ again this evening .
Now to the trenches ronald for the hour grows late .

Like most ALL professing Christians, you have been seriously duped and "stupified" by the dead religion of "church-ianity". Because of that, you also are sub-consciously choosing to not pay attention to what I am saying.

Listen closely: "the breath of life" IS Oxygenated AIR.
Because God breathed Oxygenated AIR INTO Adam's nostrils (lungs), Adam then had no choice but to exhale Carbon Dioxide.
His depressed/deflated lungs and Pulmonary muscles then reacted to the vacuum within his lungs, and thus Adam inhaled another "breath of life" of Oxygenated AIR, and voila, man BECAME an AUTONOMOUS living soul,.....he DIDN'T GET (receive) ONE!!!

[Davy]

Lol!!! There is nothing Jewish about my teachings at all.

You're only laughing at your OWN Biblical illiteracy, because the false Jewish tradition you are espousing about Genesis 2:7 is how the Jews wrongly believe the 'soul' is part of the flesh body! That's where their idea of SOUL SLEEP comes from, when the 'asleep' idea is simply a METAPHOR for those who have died in their flesh. Our spirit (with soul) continues to the HEAVENLY DIMENSION like Ecclesiastes 12:5-7 and Matthew 10:28 shows, and here also...

1 Kings 17:17-22
17 And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.

18 And she said unto Elijah, "What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?"

19 And he said unto her, "Give me thy son." And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.

20 And he cried unto the LORD, and said, "O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?"
21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, "O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again."
22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
KJV

Just by the FACT that Elijah prayed to God to let the child's SOUL come back into his flesh body is solid proof that the SOUL is NOT part of flesh body earthly matter.

The SOUL SLEEP tradition of the Jews believes the 'soul' is part of material flesh, and that at flesh death the soul DIES with the flesh body, and BOTH must be resurrected together. NOT SO per God's written Word!

I'd bet that Scripture above is NOT in your Babylonian Talmud of the Jews.

Ecclesiastes 12:6–7 (KJV):

You are avoiding that question. Let's see what your symbolism comes up with. ???

I did not avoid your question. I answered it per the written Bible Scripture, which your question does not abide by.

What makes you think that just the mention of the "two candlesticks" along with God's "two witnesses" has to mean the two elect Churches only be located in Jerusalem? That's absolutist thinking, and not keeping with Bible Scripture flow about the events of the end that Jesus warned His elect. Do you not remember Luke 21:21 Jesus said those of His servants in the countries to not enter into Jerusalem at that time of the end?

Luke 21:20-21
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
KJV

2. Your implication that the other five Christian churches in Revelation ( if I am getting this correct) are a synagogue of Satan?

Nope, not what I said. And it is Lord Jesus speaking about the "synagogue of Satan" to His two elect Churches in Rev.2:9 and Rev.3:9. Maybe you should read it more carefully the next time...

Rev 2:9
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
KJV

Rev 3:9
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
KJV

By Jesus pointing that out to them, it means those two Churches were meant... to understand about Christ's ultimate enemies of Jude 4, the "synagogue of Satan", which is not about true seed born Jews, but about the false crept in unawares that were ORDAINED by God to work against Christ!

Do I really need to spoon feed you about this? Just because your preachers won't talk about it in the Church doesn't mean it is not written in God's Word. There it is, so address it as written. And notice Jesus' point of identity of who that "synagogue of Satan" represents, not true Judah born of the seed that may be deceived, but false converts of foreigners that crept in among Judah and became religious Jews. Those are the ones of John 8 that Lord Jesus rebuked and said God was not their father, but that the devil was.

3. To think all five of the remaining churches will be cut off is a mistake.

Something wrong with the way you think. You appear to dream up ideas in your head that don't have anything to do with the subject.

The other 5 Churches had problems in them, the Churches of Pergamos and Thyatira both had idol worshipers leading them! The woman at Thyatira leading that Church Jesus called a Jezebel. Do you recall the Jezebel of Old Testament history, the wife of Ahab, king of the northern kingdom of Israel? Jezebel was not born of Israel, but was a Zidonian (or Sidonian of Sidon) and a worshiper of Baal. She had all of God's prophets except Elijah slaughtered, and she looked to kill him too, but Elijah fled.

Didn't you notice Jesus saying even to those 5 Churches to repent, and this...

Rev 2:24-25
24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
KJV

Rev 3:4
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white: for they are worthy.
KJV

You've never really read the above Scripture, have you?

Not everyone in those 5 Churches are guilty of wrong doing. Same as it is in all of Christ's Churches today. That means there are those WHO KNOW BETTER when some preachers are pushing doctrines of men outside God's written Word. It's just a type burden they endure, while waiting on Christ's future return. We should attend where God leads us, and you never know, God may want us to attend a Church that has problems that needs to repent, and we may be led there to set an example for them in Christ.

But the two Churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia, Jesus had not even one word of rebuke for them. That can only mean they represent His "very elect" that know the Truth and cannot be deceived.

You're only laughing at your OWN Biblical illiteracy, because the false Jewish tradition you are espousing about Genesis 2:7 is how the Jews wrongly believe the 'soul' is part of the flesh body! That's where their idea of SOUL SLEEP comes from, when the 'asleep' idea is simply a METAPHOR for those who have died in their flesh. Our spirit (with soul) continues to the HEAVENLY DIMENSION like Ecclesiastes 12:5-7 and Matthew 10:28 shows, and here also...

1 Kings 17:17-22
17 And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.

18 And she said unto Elijah, "What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?"

19 And he said unto her, "Give me thy son." And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.

20 And he cried unto the LORD, and said, "O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?"
21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, "O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again."
22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
KJV

Just by the FACT that Elijah prayed to God to let the child's SOUL come back into his flesh body is solid proof that the SOUL is NOT part of flesh body earthly matter.

The SOUL SLEEP tradition of the Jews believes the 'soul' is part of material flesh, and that at flesh death the soul DIES with the flesh body, and BOTH must be resurrected together. NOT SO per God's written Word!

I'd bet that Scripture above is NOT in your Babylonian Talmud of the Jews.

You are not paying attention. I disagree with the Jewish understanding 100%.

Those that you quoted had a childish, religious understanding of what "a living soul" is, of which leads many astray into falsely believing they have an eternal existence, with or without Christ. That is an impossible situation in every way.
WITHOUT Christ, no one can have an eternal existence of any kind!! Please think that through!

Again, you STILL do not understand HOW it is that your religious explanation misses on all accounts, of how Adam "BECAME a living soul".

I do not have to show and prove that the word "soul" describes something temporarily physical, but for sure YOU ARE trying to show and prove that the word "soul" describes something permanently spiritual.

A living soul is an autonomous being of flesh and blood, that requires Oxygen on a continual basis, aka "the breath of life", in order to maintain its temporary existence as a living soul.
However, if there is no continual access to Oxygenated air, aka "the breath of life", the flesh and blood being, that BECAME a temporary living soul, shall suddenly BECOME a permanent DEAD soul.

Edit: (Ref. my posts #289, 297, 301, 304, 305, 308, 311, 316 and 320).
Also, please see post #312 @Cassandra, item #2.

So then, as I did say in post #289, we can now safely conclude:
"No one here understands that ALL PEOPLE, who are without Christ, HAVE NOT ever been given any kind of a literal eternal "living soul" or "spirit" by God AT anytime!!"

After mortal death, there is no such thing as an unsaved person having eternal existence of any kind!!
