Ecclesiastes 3:21

[MatthewG]

Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?

Wouldnt Jesus be able to answer this question?

and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

When he speaks about resurrection.

When he ascended in his resurrectional body from they watched him, until he disappeared; perhaps translated into the heavenly.

He was spoken of to come back in the same way.

So where does the spirit/soul go?

 

[Mark51]

Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?

Wouldnt Jesus be able to answer this question?

and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

When he speaks about resurrection.

When he ascended in his resurrectional body from they watched him, until he disappeared; perhaps translated into the heavenly.

He was spoken of to come back in the same way.

So where does the spirit/soul go?

Our Creator initially decreed that humans should live forever but not animals. Although animals are not condemned to die for sins, the human family is because of the inherited sin from Adam. Therefore, we die and are deaths are likened to other animals that die. In other words, all living creatures have a “spirit” or activating life force that makes animals live the same as that which makes humans live.

The reference to “the beast” in Chapter 3 verse 21 is referring to humans of whom are likened to beasts.-Psalms 49:12, 20; 73:22; Daniel 7:2-8 (governments with “beastly rule”).

The “soul” is the person or animal, not an immaterial part of them that survives when their bodies die. They are a living soul.-Genesis 1:21, 24; 2:7; 9:15; Numbers 6:6; 31:19; Deuteronomy 12:20; Ecclesiastics 3:19, 20; Ezekiel 18:4.
