In the old test people believed when they died they died .(soul sleep)I think the new test. is being mis-interpeted. Does our spirit go back to God and our flesh rot and our soul sleeps? When Jesus died did not His Spirit go back to His Father and his body and soul slept in the grave until He was resurected? This is another doctorine that needs to be debated faithfully.I believe it ties a lot of end time prophacy together.Crooner
