Hello I have a short. very short question. Is there scripture on where you spirit goes after death? I think I read that the spirit returns to God but I am not sure where I read this. I tried to find it in Ray's papers and I could not. Now I bet Ray has this answered somewhere I just couldn't find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Darren
the scriptures you are looking for are found in Ecclesiastes


3:19  For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity.
3:20  All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return.
3:21  Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down into the earth?

Ecc 12:7  and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

Ray has written about this scripture, but I can't for the life of me remember. I think it can be found in the LOF somewhere.

Dave thanks a million. I have been searching through Ray's emails and some of his papers. I thought the paper on death might have it but it didn't. Thanks again.

Thanks Dave for the scriptural reminder.  I needed it the other day and for the life of me didn't know where, so I relied on Romans.  But this will help my friend out more.

Hi
Here is an email from Ray addressing the spirit returning to God at death.

Every person (and animal) has a "spirit."  There is no life without spirit. At death OUR spirit return to our God Who gave it to us. Spirit does not die. But, spirit has no consciencousness of its own. It must be united with a body. That is why there is coming a Resurrection of the DEAD. Adam's body had the spirit of God breathed into it and then Adam became a LIVING SOUL.  God's Holy Spirit is His Spirit of Holiness which imparts spiritual knowledge and spiritual character to those who possess it. The wicked and unbelievers have a spirit that keeps them alive, but they have no spiritual perception of spiritual truths because they do not possess the Holy Spirit of God living in us through Jesus Christ our Lord. ETc. Sorry, but it would take days to answer your question in detail.

God be with you,

Ray
