    Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist, Part 22

    We continue once again with our subject, Death and Resurrection In our previous post we were reviewing the importance of our Lord’s death (the ransom sacrifice) to our deliverance from the death penalty, that he had surrendered his very life, his soul for the sake of the world. “The whole...

    Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist, Part 19

    Once again, we continue with the subject Death and Resurrection We were discussing what it is that is to be resurrected the body or the soul? The Scriptures themselves deny that the body will be resurrection as pointed out by the Apostle Paul in 1 Cor 15:35-38. “But someone will say, “How...

    Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist, Part 18

    Our subject under consideration is, Death and Resurrection Seventh Day Adventist say: “When Jesus returns at the end of time, all who have died believing in Christ will have a bodily resurrection and go to Heaven with Him. This is the first resurrection. This is the Good News! Believers have...

    Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist, Part 10

    We continue with our comparisons of the Seventh Day Adventist beliefs and the Bible Students. In our last post we were considering a few points which our Catholic friends had to say in regards incarnation (a pivotal doctrine of theirs), as well as our Lord’s nature while on earth and etc. It...

    Bible Students and Seventh Day Adventist, Part 9

    We continue with our comparisons of the Seventh Day Adventist beliefs and the Bible Students. Seventh Day Adventist say: The church derives its authority from Christ, who is the incarnate Word revealed in the Scriptures. Is Jesus "Divine"? Most certainly, that is ever since his resurrection...

    ARE THE DEAD REALLY DEAD? Part 3

    VICTORY OVER DEATH Then, "when this corruption shall have put on incorruption, and when this mortal shall have put on immortality," shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory." (1 Cor 15:54) Was death a good thing? No! Whose victory is this...

    ARE THE DEAD REALLY DEAD? Part 2

    HOW ARE THE DEAD RAISED? The apostle then discusses the matter of the body (1 Cor 15:35-38), and says, "But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” He IS NOT speaking of how are bodies raised up, but "How are the dead raised up." He is speaking of the...

    ARE THE DEAD REALLY DEAD? Part 1

    The following remarks were made by the Pastor in response to a live debate he was having with the Rev. Dr. E. L. Eaton, a local Methodist minister. “The Scriptures teach that all mankind when they die are dead. It seems a strange proposition to have to make to an intelligent audience, that...

    Where are the Dead? Part 12

    "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. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this I say unto you, by the word of...

    Where are the Dead? Part 11

    “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell, for I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.” (Phil 1:21-23 NKJV) “In no way...

    Where are the Dead? Part 10

    Once again take a look at the preceding verse (Phil 1:20), "According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also, Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or death." Mark the expression whether...

    Where are the Dead? Part 9

    We continue once again with our look at the comments made by one of our forum members who believes that when a Christian dies he (apart from his body) does not sleep in death to await the resurrection, but goes immediately to be with the Lord. As proof of his position he supplied the following...

    Where are the Dead? Part 8

    Now what about our friend’s reference to James 2:26, that “the body without the spirit is dead”, does this not prove his point? He states, “The body is the only part of man that dies at physical death. The reason it dies is because the inner man, the life of the body, leaves the body. It then...

    Where are the Dead? Part 7

    The following comments were made by one of our forum members under the thread “No-one has gone to heaven?” and are typical of the beliefs held by many believers. Note we are not selectively pointing out this individual, but are merely presenting his viewpoint as it representative of the same or...

    Where are the Dead? Part 6

    THE PROPOSITION "The proposition under discussion as stated is a clear admission that the dead are unconscious for the reason it assumes -- that there is to be an awakening. Mark the words thereof, 'that the dead are unconscious from the moment of death until the moment of awakening to the...

    Where are the Dead? Part 5

    DEATH -- SLEEP Since God has made provision for the awakening of the dead to the resurrection, the Bible frequently speaks of death as sleep. Sleep is a symbol of death, and the word is used in that sense. A man lies down to sleep and we say he will wake again. And so we say with reference to...

    Where are the Dead? Part 4

    WHY MEN DIE It is a principle of God's law that every perfect, righteous creature is entitled to life. It follows that every unrighteous creature has no legal right to life. God enforced his judgment against Adam in a gradual manner, viz. -- by forcing Adam out of Eden, where the food was...

    Where are the Dead? Part 3

    THE PENALTY OF THE LAW "God said to Adam, “but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Gen 2:17) If the soul is immortal, then God did not mean what he said, because an immortal creature could not be put to...

    Where are the Dead? Part 2

    It is our position that, the scriptures clearly teach that the dead are unconscious between the moment of death and the moment of awakening to the resurrection. If this proposition is not affirmatively true, as stated, then we must conclude: 1. That man, after death, continues mentally active...

    Where are the Dead? Part 1

    This study was raised due to some erroneous assumptions being made on this forum concerning the whereabouts of the dead following death, with some believing they go immediately to heaven or to hell. Excerpts for this study came from a debate entitled “Where are the Dead?” Now both the heathen...
