Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

[Hiddenthings]

You lack the discernment to be able to tell which is which. Is God the Father's throne that Jesus sits on a literal throne? Scripture says that His throne is heaven. Does Jesus sit on heaven? Yes, go ahead and move right along as you continue to not understand the difference between literal and figurative text.

You clearly lack an understanding of Old Testament prophecy and of David’s literal throne, which God specifically promised His Son would occupy at a future time. You are confused with Jesus temporarily being in Heaven and an earthly Kingdom he is yet to establish.

 

[Hiddenthings]

You showed nothing except for your lack of discernment. You are not differentiating between the body and the soul and spirit.

This gave me a chuckle.

Your understanding is far from the Lords in Matthew 10:28

You clearly lack an understanding of Old Testament prophecy and of David’s literal throne, which God specifically promised His Son would occupy at a future time. You are confused with Jesus temporarily being in Heaven and an earthly Kingdom he is yet to establish.

You clearly lack understanding of what the New Testament teaches about the fulfillments of Old Testament prophecies.

Peter indicated that the resurrection of Christ was the way in which the prophecy regarding God's Son taking over David's throne was fulfilled.

Acts 2:29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. 34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: "The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand,
35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

The prophecy God gave to David was that He (God) would raise up the Messiah/Christ to sit on his (David's) throne and Peter said that the prophecy related to "the resurrection of the Christ". So, God RAISING UP Jesus to sit on David's throne was accomplished by way of RAISING UP Jesus from the dead, after which He was "exalted to the right hand of God" and was made "both Lord and Christ".

Your posts all give me more than a chuckle. Your lack of discernment is really something. You think you know it all, but you know nothing. Matthew 10:28 is another verse that shows human beings have a soul and a spirit, so it's strange you would bring that verse up when you deny that human beings have a body, a soul and a spirit.

Immortality cannot be destroyed so it must be back to the drawing board for you.

You are hilarious. As if I haven't already looked at it many times? I guess you don't want to be taken seriously. You have made that clear. I don't know why I bother with you. I shouldn't.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

Immortality cannot be destroyed so it must be back to the drawing board for you.

Maybe put a little more effort into this and do some research on what the Greek word "apollymi" can mean. It can be used to refer to punishment or to bring to ruin. It does not refer to annihilation. Other scripture make it clear that those who are cast into the lake of fire will experience eternal torment (Revelation 14:9-11). So, are you the one who needs to go back to the drawing board. You also need to ask God for wisdom instead of relying on your own very flawed human wisdom all the time (James 1:5-7), which results in you believing many false doctrines.

 

[Hiddenthings]

No, you haven't looked at all. I could show you, but with all that deafening laughter I doubt it would reach you.

You would do well to ignore him as he has no understanding of the Word. He’s been on my blocked list because ofhis outright denial of scripture.

We are 100 percent pre millennial reign, anyone arguing otherwise is either apostate, ignorant, or outright denies the word of God.

Hundreds of scriptures and psalms clearly show it’s the proper harmonization of the Word.

 

[jeffweeder]

We are 100 percent pre millennial reign, anyone arguing otherwise is either apostate, ignorant, or outright denies the word of God.

Not so.
Lets fix our eyes on Jesus only, just to keep this simple. Sounds like a good idea right?

One only has to read what Jesus said about the millennium to know that is nonsense.

What scriptures of Jesus do you think allude to millennialism?

 

[Davidpt]

What scriptures of Jesus do you think allude to millennialism?

LOL. As if there is nothing Jesus ever said that can support a millennium in the future.

Try this for one.

Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

This for another.



Revelation 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations :
27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

Revelation 3:9 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.

Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

BTW, Jesus is the speaker in these Revelation verses. Also, when does Scripture plainly indicate Jesus sits in His own throne, not His Father's throne? I already submitted one Scripture that shows that, that being Matthew 19:28. Another witness is the verse below.

Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory :

Clearly meaning 'my throne' in Revelation 3:21. Which then means that Revelation 3:21 is pertaining to reigning a thousand years with Christ. What else could it be referring to before 1 Corinthians 15:28 is fulfilled? Except you don't care. All you are doing is defending a system and trying to force fit into it things that can't can't remotely logically fit.

 

[jeffweeder]

LOL. As if there is nothing Jesus ever said that can support a millennium in the future.

Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

When does the regeneration occur? We stand with him and concur with his judgment.

It happens at his coming right, when he glorifies us and judges the ungodly.

This for another.

Sure

Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory :

I see that as meaning..... Jesus comes in the glory of his Father to Glorify the redeemed and completely remove the ungodly from his presence and ours. That is exactly what he prophecies in the whole narrative as the NHNE come into view.
We will inherit the pristine conditions (Eden) God prepared for us from the foundation of the world. No sin to be seen.



31 “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory and majesty and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him [for judgment]; and He will separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats; 33 and He will put the sheep on His right [the place of honor], and the goats on His left [the place of rejection].

34 “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father [you favored of God, appointed to eternal salvation], inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

41 “Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Leave Me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels (demons);

What could be a more Glorious a throne to sit on with regeneration being complete.

 

[Davidpt]

What could be a more Glorious a throne to sit on with regeneration being complete.

1 Corinthians 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.


How do you get around this verse? What does it mean then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all? How does that continue to equal this for all eternity---To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne?

Not to mention.

Revelation 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:


Notice that, even though 2 entities are mentioned, the text says His servants shall serve Him. Not their servants shall serve them. Also notice who is sitting on the throne and who are not sitting on the throne. His servants are not sitting on the throne.

 

[jeffweeder]

1 Corinthians 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.


How do you get around this verse? What does it mean then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all?

Jesus simply completed the work that the Father gave him to do, so God through the gift of the Holy Spirit may be in all.

How does that continue to equal this for all eternity---To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne?

Because Jesus first overcometh.
We sit on his glorious throne when he comes glorify us. Jesus overcame every obstacle and then was caught up to his Father to share the glory he had before the creation of the world.
Behold all things for us become new.

 

[Adventageous]

They believe that Jesus died and rose again from the dead, so I guess that means that is not true?

Actually, the Highest Official Roman Catholic, & Jesuit theology teaches that Jesus did not physically rise from the dead. I have those sources:

Beginning with something, easy to be understood, as stated from a Roman Catholic [Jesuit] who I have spoken with:

"I don't believe in the resurrection as a raising of physical bodies, rather the resurrection is an ongoing thing."​

Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger [P. Benedict XVI] stated in His "Introduction to Christianity, 2nd Edition, page 353 "[[a book that] "... seeks to explain the Apostles’ Creed in the light of contemporary Roman Catholic dogma." - Does the Pope Believe in the Resurrection? | ChristianObserver.org":

"...their essential content is not the conception of a restoration of bodies to souls after a long interval; their aim is to tell men that they, they themselves, live on ..." - Introduction to Christianity​

Further, in that same source of Ratzinger, he states, pages 240-241:

"... It now becomes clear that the real heart of faith in the resurrection does not consist at all in the idea of the restoration of bodies, to which we have reduced it in our thinking; such is the case even though this is the pictorial image used throughout the Bible'. ... 'in effect means "the world of man" . . . [it is] not meant in the sense of a corporality isolated from the soul' ..."​

On Page 246 of the same:

"... one thing at any rate may be fairly clear: both John (6:63) and Paul (1 Cor. 15:50) state with all possible emphasis that the "resurrection of the flesh", the "resurrection of the body", is not a "resurrection of physical bodies" . . . Paul teaches, not the resurrection of physical bodies, but the resurrection of persons, and this not in the return of "flesh body", that is, the biological structure, an idea he expressly describes as impossible ("the perishable cannot become imperishable") but in the different form of the life of the resurrection, as shown in the risen Lord' ..."​

Others have so noticed the same intent of P. Benedict XVI's official position:

"... Ratzinger is attempting to construct a "de-Platonized" eschatology which has no need of a body-soul distinction, yet it is not clear that this eschatology includes the resurrection of real human bodies. ...​

... it replaces the resurrection of real bodies with "the immortality of the person"14 ..." - Resurrection Realism: Ratzinger the Augustinian, by Patrick J Fletcher; page 83 - Resurrection Realism​

This is the standard Jesuit theology [even as found in the Jesuit 'Jesus Seminar' scholars], which defines all Roman Catholicism...

like someone from the Jesuit Georgetown U. who promotes the very same, as Jesuit Anthony J. Tambasco, who said, in a theological class / teaching setting, in the video "In the time of Jesus",

​

"It wouldn't destroy my faith, if a theologian proved that His body rotted in the grave." - BlueHost coupon offers 43% bluehost discount pricing​

or another Jesuit Karl Rahner:

"... it is obvious that the resurrection of Jesus neither can be nor intends to be a `historical' event ..."​

or after Ratizinger himself [supposedly 'one time' head of the Inquisition, curia of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and the very same person who wrote much of JPII's material].

"In Foundations of Christian Faith, published in German in 1976, two years after the first Dutch edition of Schillebeeckx's Jesus, Rahner observed that "we miss the meaning of `resurrection' in general and also of the resurrection of Jesus ... if our original preconception is the notion of a resuscitation of a physical, material body."

Rather than a resuscitation, Rahner considered resurrection to be

​

"the final and definitive salvation of a concrete human existence by God and in the presence of God, the abiding and real validity of human history, which neither moves further and further into emptiness, nor perishes altogether. In this respect death is precisely the essential renunciation and the radical relinquishing of any imaginary model of the `how' of this finality, whether this model is related to the `body' or to the `spiritual soul' of this single human existence." (115)​

Relating resurrection to every person's hope, and thus a "transcendental" hope to survive in some final and definitive sense, Rahner insisted that

"resurrection is not an additional assertion about the fate of a secondary part of man."​

"Resurrection is rather the term which, in view of man's concrete situation, promises the abiding validity of his single and entire existence. Resurrection of the "flesh" which man is does not mean resurrection of the body which man has as a part of himself."​

In Rahner's understanding, persons who affirm their existence as "permanently valid and redeemable," and do "not fall into the misunderstanding of a platonic anthropological dualism," are affirming their resurrection in hope.(116)

[Ie. he is speaking of immortal soul theology, thus no need for physical resurrection, which is the ultimate conclusion for such theology.]

Rahner allowed that

"we can admit without any qualms that the reports which are presented to us at first glance as historical details of the event of the resurrection or of the appearances [of Jesus] cannot be harmonized completely. Hence they are to be explained as secondary literary and dramatic embellishments of the original experience that `Jesus is alive,' rather than as descriptions of the experience itself in its original nature."​

(117) He further asserted that:

"So far as the nature of this experience is accessible to us, it is to be explained after the manner of our experience of the powerful Spirit of the living Lord rather than in a way which either likens this experience too closely to mystical visions of an imaginative kind in later times, or understands it as an almost physical sense experience. There is no such sense experience of someone who has really reached fulfillment, even presupposing that he must indeed have freely `manifested' himself. For this manifestation to imply sense experience, everything would have to belong to the realm of normal and profane sense experience. (118)​

Like Schillebeeckx, Rahner also emphasized that the Easter experience presupposed by "the texts which dramatize [it] under the most varied theological motifs" was not produced from within but came "from without." The witnesses of that experience, which was sui generis, were given the unique task of sharing it with others. One can refuse to believe them, but not "by pretending that one understands their experience better." As Rahner observed, "it can be said that by `historical' means we would not reach the resurrection of Jesus, but only the conviction of his disciples that he is alive." The Resurrection of Jesus as "the assumption of the fruit of our ongoing history into its final and definitive state" goes beyond the realm of our empirical world, but is inextricably related to "our own transcendental hope in resurrection." (119) " "...( 115) Foundations of Christian Faith: An Introduction to the Idea of Christianity, trans. William V. Dych (New York: Seabury, 1978) 266-67.​

My belief has absolutely nothing to do with Roman Catholicism. They believe that Jesus died and rose again from the dead, so I guess that means that is not true?

... continued ...

These are not isolated statements, nor beliefs:

For instance, Thomas H. West, a Roman Catholic by background, is Professor of Theology at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, Minnesota.

"In his new book, West raises the question as to whether the Christian must believe that Jesus was actually raised from the dead; he answers in the negative."- Roman Catholic Professor Denies the Resurrection of Christ and see also - Catholic Professor Protests​

Further:

“... Francesca Sinicrope, who has since graduated, told LifeSiteNews in June that her sociology teacher at L’École Secondaire Catholique Algonquin told her class that “people have taken the Bible too literally.” “He began saying that it was like a metaphor that you follow … He said that Jesus never resurrected,” she explained. ...”​

​

… Mrs. Sinicrope said she was “disgusted” by the response of the school principal, Mr. Daniel Villeneuve, who has since left the position.​

​

Villeneuve told them in May that their complaint was “thoroughly investigated” and that they found that the teacher’s “beliefs and program delivery are in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church that reviewed many beliefs and practices under Vatican II.” - Kids pulled out of Catholic school after teacher denied Resurrection in class - LifeSite​

The Jesuit Jesus Seminar:

“... In 1985, Crossan and Robert Funk founded the Jesus Seminar, a group of academics studying the historical Jesus, and Crossan served as co-chair for its first decade. …​

​

… Crossan married Margaret Dagenais, a professor at Loyola University Chicago [Jesuit Saint Ignatius College] in the summer of 1969. She died in 1983 due to a heart attack ...​

​

… He proposes that it is historically probable that, like all but one known victim of crucifixion, Jesus' body was scavenged by animals rather than being placed in a tomb.[5] Crossan believes in vision hypothesis "resurrection" by faith but holds that bodily resuscitation was never contemplated by early Christians.[citation needed] He has debated Christian philosopher William Lane Craig over the resurrection of Jesus.[6] ...” - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dominic_Crossan#Views_and_methodology​

​

John Dominic Crossan:

“... Jesus' own followers, who had initially fled from the danger and horror of the crucifixion, talked eventually not just of continued affection or spreading superstition but of resurrection. They tried to express what they meant by telling, for example, about the journey to Emmaus undertaken by two Jesus followers, one named and clearly male, one unnamed and probably female. The couple were leaving Jerusalem in disappointed and dejected sorrow. Jesus joined them on the road and, unknown and unrecognized, explained how the Hebrew scriptures should have prepared them for his fate. Later that evening they invited him to join them for their evening meal and finally they recognized him when once again he served the meal to them as of old beside the lake. And then, only then, they started back to Jerusalem in high spirits. The symbolism is obvious as is the metaphoric condensation of the first years of Christian thought and practice into one parabolic afternoon. Emmaus never happened. Emmaus always happens. ...” - http://www.johndominiccrossan.com/The Historical Jesus.htm​

Hans Kung:

​

“... The book Being a Christian continues to be diffused without variations and it is translated into other languages without variations. Since this book presents itself as a "little Summa" (p. 14) of the Christian faith and is also considered and used by some people as a textbook of Catholic doctrine ...” - http://ewtn.com/library/BISHOPS/GERMKUNG.HTM​

​

“... 10. Jesus’ death, however, was not the end of everything. The faith of his community is: The Crucified is living forever with God, as our hope. Resurrection does not mean either a return to life in space and time or a continuation of life in space and time but the assumption into that incomprehensible and comprehensive last and first reality which we call God. …” [Page 314] - The Christian Challenge or also - http://www.auburn.edu/~allenkc/challenge.html​

​

“... Since according to New Testament faith the raising is an act of God within God's dimensions, it can not be a historical event in the strict sense: it is not an event which can be verified by historical science with the aid of historical methods. For the raising of Jesus is not a miracle violating the laws of nature, verifiable within the present world, not a supernatural intervention which can be located and dated in space and time. There was nothing to photograph or record.... But neither the raising itself nor the person raised can be apprehended, objectified, by historical methods. In this respect the question would demand too much of historical science - which, like the sciences of chemistry, biology, psychology, sociology or theology, never sees more than one aspect of the complex reality - since, on the basis of its own premises, it deliberately excludes the very reality which alone comes into question for a resurrection as also for creation and consummation: the reality of God. ...” [Page 349-350] - On Being a Christian​

You know your view is weak when you have to try to bring unrelated things into the discussion.

Oh, they are intimately related, see the video, or read the book.

 

[Adventageous]

You are not differentiating between the body and the soul and spirit. When a believer physically/bodily dies, their soul and spirit go to be with the Lord in heaven.

It seems you still have not read the book, and link I provided, since they demonstrate the definitions of those words, from scripture and the etymology.

The "soul" is the entire person / being, alive or dead (Gen. 2:7 KJB). Spirit is simply the mind / heart / thinking, or in other contexts, is the breath (air) one breathes to live. The body is just the dust. Here is the book again, please see those definitions, already provided - Sincerely Dead Dying, To Know Jesus by brother Aaron Earnest : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

Gen 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 soul.​

​

Eze_18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.​

QUESTION: WHAT IS A SOUL (LIVING or DEAD)?

A “soul” (H5315, G5590; Lev. 22:11; Heb. 4:12) is a:​

​

“life” (Gen. 9:5; Mat. 6:25; Luk. 9:56; Act. 15:26, 27:10; 1 Jhn. 3:16; Rev. 12:11, &c. KJB), or​

​

“person/s” (Gen. 14:21; Num. 5:6, &c. KJB), or​

​

“mind/s” (Gen. 23:8; Eze. 23:28; Php. 1:27; Heb. 12:3, &c. KJB), or​

​

“will” (Deu. 21:14; Psa. 27:12, 41:2; Eze. 16:27 KJB), or​

​

“heart/s” (Exo. 23:9; Hos. 4:8; Eph. 6:6, &c. KJB), or​

​

“himself” / “themselves” (Lev. 11:43-44; 1 Kin. 19:4; Job 18:4; Jer. 37:9; Amo. 6:8, &c. KJB), or​

​

“creature” (living) (Gen. 1:21,24; Lev. 11:46, &c. KJB), or​

​

“dead” (creature) (Lev. 19:28, 21:1, 22:4; Num. 5:2, 6:11, 9:6-7,10 KJB), or​

​

“man” (Lev. 24:16-17; 2 Kin. 12:4; Isa. 49:7 KJB), or​

​

“beast” (Lev. 24:18 (x3) KJB).​

​

It can also be defined generally as a ‘being’, or living (or dead) existence.​

QUESTION: IF MANKIND (ADAM), WHEN ALIVE, IS A “LIVING SOUL”, ARE “BEASTS” THAT ARE ALIVE ALSO “LIVING SOULS”?

Yes, see Gen. 1:21,24; 2:19, 9:10,12,15,16; Lev. 11:46; Num. 31:28; See also Joshua 6, 10 & 11 KJB, for in every instance where it is written that Joshua destroyed “all the souls that were therein” (Jos. 6:21, 10:28,30,32,35,37,39-40, 11:11 KJB) it included both “persons” (mankind) and “beeves,” “asses,” “sheep,” &c. of the “beasts” that were in those cities. The answer to the question then, is, “Yes.”​

QUESTION: CAN A “LIVING SOUL” DIE AND BECOME A “DEAD” SOUL, HAVING NO LIFE ANYMORE?

Yes, see “dead” (H5315, “נפש”, “nephesh”): Lev. 19:28, 21:1, 22:4; Num. 5:2, 6:11, 9:6-7 (x2),10 KJB.​

The word "spirit":

The word (H7307: “רוּח”, “rûach”) is translated many ways in the English of the King James Bible, since it has a range of meaning, depending upon the context, such as “spirit,” “wind,” “breath,” “mind,” “air,” “cool” (as in the evening breeze when the sun is going down), and various emotions (“anger”, “courage”, &c.) among other things. It can be directly applied to a living Being with intelligence such as the Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:2 KJB), or to created heavenly intelligences (Psa. 104:4; Eze. 1:20,21, 10:17 KJB), or earthly created intelligences, as mankind (Pro. 18:14, 20:27 KJB), or even of beasts (Num. 16:22, 27:16 KJB), which all have their “mind/s” (Gen. 26:35; Pro. 29:11; Eze. 11:5, 20:32; Dan. 5:20; Hab. 1:11 KJB) and emotions (Jos. 2:11; Jdg. 8:3 KJB). It is also applied to that which has nothing of living intelligence in it, such as the movement of “air” (Job 41:16 KJB), “cool” (Gen. 3:8 KJB), “wind” (Job 28:25; Jer. 49:32,36; Eze. 5:10,12, 17:21, 37:9; Dan. 8:8, 11:4; Zec. 2:6 KJB), “winds” (Gen. 8:1; Exo. 10:13,19, 14:21, 15:10; Num. 11:31; 2 Sam. 22:11; 1 Kin. 18:45, 19:11; 2 Kin. 3:17; Job 1:19, 6:26, 7:7, 15:2, 21:18, 30:15,2, 37:21; Psa. 1:4, 18:10,42, 35:5, 48:7, 78:39, 83:13, 103:16, 104:3, 107:25, 135:7, 147:18, 148:8; Pro. 11:29, 25:14,23, 27:16, 30:4; Ecc. 1:6, 5:16, 11:4; Isa. 7:2, 11:15, 17:13, 26:18, 27:8, 32:2, 41:16,29, 57:13, 64:6; Jer. 2:24, 10:11-13, 13:24, 14:6, 18:17, 22:22, 51:1,16; Eze. 5:2, 12:14, 13:11,13, 17:10, 19:12, 27:26, 37:9; Hos. 4:19, 8:7, 12:1, 13:15; Amo. 4:13; Jon. 1:4; Zec. 5:8-9 KJB), “breath” (Gen. 6:17, 7:15; 2 Sam. 22:16; Job 4:9, 9:18, 12:10, 15:30, 17:1, 19:17; Psa. 18:15, 33:6, 104:29, 135:17, 146:4; Ecc. 3:19; Isa. 11:4, 30:28, 33:11; Jer. 10:14, 51:17; Lam. 4:20; Eze. 37:5-6,8-10; Hab. 2:19 KJB), “tempest” (Psa. 11:6 KJB), “whirlwind” (Eze. 1:4 KJB), “windy” (Psa. 55:8 KJB), and “blast” (of wind / air) (Exo. 15:8; 2 Kin. 19:7; Isa. 25:4, 37:7 KJB).​

The texts which refer to the mind / heart / spirit of a being (Jhn. 4:24 KJB, “spirit” is “heart”, “mind” = intelligence; Exo. 35:21; Deu. 2:30; Jos. 5:1; Psa. 34:18, 51:10,17, 77:6, 78:8, 143:4, 136:5; Pro. 15:13, 17:22; Ecc. 1:17; Isa. 57:15, 65:14; Eze. 11:19, 18:31, 21:17, 36:26; Mar. 2:8; Rom. 2:29; Heb. 4:12; 1 Pet. 3:4; And thus the “spirit” of man, the “heart” (“mind”) of man is connected with reasoning, thoughts and emotions, 1 Chr. 28:9; Mat. 9:4; Luk. 2:35, 5:22, 24:38; Rom. 2:15 and so on (Job 14:21; Psa. 146:4; Ecc. 9:5,6,10; See also Pro. 8:22-31 KJB)) are speaking of living active intelligence.​

Can a mind / spirit / heart / intelligence die? Yes.

It is amazing, I produce documented evidence after evidence from scripture, in context, etymology, historical use, &c. with their sources, and what have you produced for your continually stated mantric position? I have only ever seen 'you' citing 'you' in defense.
