When I said I couldn't find any defense for the immortal soul, I was just referring to an internet search. I'm sure any pastor out there would be glad to defend it. Why do Christians, when they hear or read the word death, they automatically replace it in their minds with "endless torment in hell". I just don't get it. The wages of sin is what???????  :o

Well that's because they like to add to and take away from; The Word of God. Otherwise their doctrines wouldn't fit.

It's called indoctrination, which means -cause to believe something: to teach somebody a belief, doctrine, or ideology thoroughly and systematically, especially with the goal of discouraging independent thought or the acceptance of other opinions.

The church is very skillful at this, hearing these doctrines preached over and over, it works.  Control always their objective down through the ages, they have much motivation, which is power over the people and their money.

mercy, peace and love

Fedex Guy:
Right. Now that you mention it, early in Christian life, I always heard the "explanation" that "you shall surely die" was really not only physical death, but spiritual death, or seperation from God. Just a few weeks ago, I spotted a "bait and switch" about this from my church. It went something like this: "You have to choose between life and death...." then later "you have to choose either eternal life in heaven or eternal life without Jesus in hell"

Hi Fedex

Keep reading the website, you will find answers to all these questions and much more! There is no short cut in studying this web-site, the forum members cannot give you cliffsnotes on hundreds of pages of material, There isn't a paragraph that could explain in detail everything written on this site.

It takes time to process the information, still more time to un-think the doctrines of christendom, And time for the spirit of God to open up these truths.

Just say for example, there are 10 points to these teachings of L.Ray Smith, I have read the site and parts of it, 5 or 6 times over the past 3-4 years, and after all that reading searching and studying, i am on ..point 2.....

Give your self some time, read it with your bible in one hand, and search to see if these things be true! You will be amazed at what your going to see!

Peace

Chris R

Hello Fedex

It is wonderful that you are THINKING! The way you put immortal soul together with the heresy and false teaching on hell was quite a feat!

I can only endorse Chris and encourage you to keep studying the teachings here and continue to think about what the Word of God says and not what mankind believes or teaches.

Peace to you

Arcturus :)
