Common objections

Oblivion582:
I know this topic has most likely been runned down to the ground when it comes to the mortal soul. BUT, I was just wondering what are the most common objections to death not being death? If I tell someone when we die, we're dead, until the resurrection, what scriptures will this someone come back at me with, opposing the idea? And if you could, comment on the "objecting" scriptures.

Dean Peterman:
Dear Oblivion,

Here is my thought.  This belief has been so ingrafted into peoples thinking during the past 6000 years that they really have no idea why they believe it.  I've read hundreds of books on religion and talked to hundreds of people and listened to hundreds of sermons and not once did anyone ever even ask the question, "Do we really have an immortal soul."  It is an assumed belief.  The first time I heard someone say we did not have an immortal soul I was shocked.  It sounded totally delusional to me.  I think the reason it took me so long to see the truth even after I starting studying the subject is because it took me time to overcome my emotional attachment to it. 

I have now read many of the objections to the belief in a mortal soul and there are very few verses that even hint that we have an immortal soul.  The strongest philosophical argument against belief in a mortal soul is the fear that we will not be the same person.  People feel that if we don't have an immortal soul then we will really not be the same person when we are resurrected.  They believe that we are really being re-created not resurrected. They say this makes us a different person.

Sincerely,

Dean

I have always wondered if our memory will be intact?
I think it would be really neat to wake up after many years even hundreds and remember what happened before they died.
