2 Corinthians 5:6-8

The Bible doesn't prove any doctrine. It merely testifies and gives evidence. Most Christians agree on at least some of it. All who wish to can find hooks upon which to hang their doubts and prejudices. I can't prove conditional immortality any more than you can prove unconditional immortality...

Biblical truth is not commentary, which is what I was addressing. Clearly, we're having trouble staying away from word games. I was also trying to avoid direct insults. However, your commentary is arrogant, dismissive, and exaggerated. And your use of boldface within biblical text is prejudiced...

Bombasticity has nothing to do with validity of content.

We see then, that it is possible for a capacious mind to be filled with an elaborate, convoluted theory of dualism/spiritualism that knows no bounds in inventing objections to the simple truth that to die is to be dead. For example, right in the middle of the much-used passage in 2 Corinthians...

Then you're not reading mine and others' posts, which is fine (I know they're long), but it makes your pontificating seem really weak. Simply quote the verses you believe are conclusive, and one of us will be happy to show you where they've already been refuted, or how they can be. But only if...

Praying here, Zig. :(

By what figure does the Bible represent death? "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope." 1 Thess. 4:13 (1 Cor. 15:18, 20) (John 11:11-14). NOTE: In sound sleep one is wholly lost to consciousness...

The belief belief in an immortal soul. Most human beings across planet Earth accept this idea, including most members of the world’s largest religions, which not only includes Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim, but Hindu, Buddhist, Pagan, Wiccan and Spiritualist. While these religious...

Romans 6:23 Parallel: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Revelation 21:8 Parallel: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their...

WADR, your bombastic rhetoric betrays your desperation. :)

Before any can enter the mansions of the blessed, their cases must be investigated, and their characters and their deeds must pass in review before God. All are to be judged according to the things written in the books and to be rewarded as their works have been. This judgment does not take...

Upon the fundamental error of natural immortality rests the doctrine of consciousness in death—a doctrine, like eternal torment, opposed to the teachings of the Scriptures, to the dictates of reason, and to our feelings of humanity. According to the popular belief, the redeemed in heaven are...

A few words of Scripture are separated from the context, which would in many cases show their meaning to be exactly opposite to the interpretation put upon them; and such disjointed passages are perverted and used in proof of doctrines that have no foundation in the word of God. The Lord...

But after the Fall, Satan bade his angels make a special effort to inculcate the belief in man's natural immortality; and having induced the people to receive this error, they were to lead them on to conclude that the sinner would live in eternal misery. Now the prince of darkness, working...

With the earliest history of man, Satan began his efforts to deceive our race. He who had incited rebellion in heaven desired to bring the inhabitants of the earth to unite with him in his warfare against the government of God. Adam and Eve had been perfectly happy in obedience to the law of...

He sure did.

It also pairs very nicely with the eternal security doctrine.

On the other hand: Genesis 3:4 : And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
