Hi Dave,
I gave you many scriptures that go directly against your belief. Now you have a list of scriptures that you think prove your belief, and I say that they don't, and the bible doesn't give contradiction. You apply pagan definitions and beliefs to words which makes you go in error.
Here is OT and NT for you, before we get to Matt 10:28.
Psalm 16:8 I always keep the LORD in front of me. When he is by my side, I cannot be moved. 9 That is why my heart is glad and my soul rejoices. My body rests securely 10 because you do not abandon my soul to the grave or allow your holy one to decay.
Acts 2: 26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Soul - Psuche - breath, the breath of life
Hell - Hades - the grave (or Dave do you want to define it according to pagans?...the god of the lower regions, the nether world, realm of the dead?)
1 Cornithians 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
Grave - Hades - the grave
Isaiah 38:18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Psalms 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Perish - Apollumi - to destroy, to put out of the way entirely
Matt 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Hell - Geenna - the valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem, where the filth and dead animals of the city were cast out and burned
Soul - Psuche - breath, the breath of life
Matt 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Life - Psuche- breath, the breath of life
Dave, Jesus's words is that you LOSE your SOUL/LIFE, those that are his though they LOSE their SOUL/LIFE, they are promised to find it again, at his second coming to be exact. So don't fear man, for if you are in Christ and a man kills you there is nothing to fear, as it is God that has power over your LIFE/soul, He can raise it up again.
Man can kill you but he is not who you should fear, man does not have power over the breath of life. If you die in Christ, the fact that man killed you has no power over you, or your life. God holds the power of the breath of life, He has power the power to raise it up again giving you the reward of eternal life.
You say "the soul" continues on after death. NO! Your soul/life as Jesus says is LOST, taken away, Jesus says you LOSE IT, but it is God that can give you LIFE/make you a living soul/creature again.
READ,
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. 40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
Matthew 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life/Psuche for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
John 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
