Scripture talks of Spiritual Sleep., those while alive in the Flesh fell asleep ( fell away)
Rom 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now [it is] high time to awake out of sleep: for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Rom 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore
cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on
the armour of light.
Rom 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as
in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in
strife and envying. Rom 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].
1Cr 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself,
not discerning the Lord's body. 1Cr 11:30 For this cause many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 1Cr 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
1Cr 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
1Cr 11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
1Cr 11:34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that
day should overtake you as a thief. 1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the
children of the day: we are not of the night,
nor of darkness. 1Th 5:6 Therefore
let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us
watch and be sober. there is BAD wine to drink( doctrines)
1Th 5:7 For they that
sleep sleep in the night; and they that be
drunken are drunken in the night. 1Th 5:8 But let us,
who are of the day, be sober, putting on the
breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain
salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 1Th 5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
1Th 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1Th 5:12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
1Th 5:13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. [And] be at peace among yourselves.
