The Christian Afterlife VS Psalm 115:17 by Peacefullove: 5:47pm On Oct 08, 2016 |
Many Church goers and the ones tagged born again believes when they die they will immediately go to heaven , and in heaven they will have the opportunity of praising Yahweh day and night . if you are of this belief , I have something interesting for you straight from the holy book of yours : Psalm 115 : 17 - The dead do not praise the LORD , nor do any who go down into silence. does this not negate the belief in those who have died praising Yahweh in an heavenly afterlife ? does this not prove when you die , you die ! simply in a state of SILENCE ? 3 Likes |

josh123: Yeah right. And how do you know ? After all , your ancestors only came into contact with the bible about 100 years ago or less , and the book is a Jewish book , and the Jews believe that once dead, totally dead. You have been tricked. 3 Likes |

Meaning that the bible was not referring to the physical body. |

It's another frivolous thread, I think. For atheists, of which you may be one, there is no such thing as the spiritual. But for believers, the spiritual is just as real as the physical. And it was believers who wrote the Bible as they were inspired by God. So, you are making a straw man. Man is a spirit who lives in a body (Genesis 2:7). As such, physical death only affects the body, not the spirit which is the real person. So, that part of the Psalms does not contradict the doctrine of an afterlife in the Bible. 2 Likes |

Re: The Christian Afterlife VS Psalm 115:17 by Peacefullove: 12:25am On Jan 07, 2019 |
josh123: So going by that ... The person called Jesus didn't die for anyone's sin , just an ordinary vessel died ? |
Re: The Christian Afterlife VS Psalm 115:17 by josh123(m): 12:33am On Jan 07, 2019 |

josh123: U can't fool anyone here . which one is he died ( body ) ... He refers to a person. And body is just a vessel , so how can u use both in the same context ? Are u aware you just contradicted yourself by saying again that He ( person ) is the body ? Seems you are confused, simple question - did the person ( Soul ) called Jesus die or ordinary vessel ( Body ) died ? 2 Likes 1 Share |

josh123:Ordinary body dies. Consequently that means the person called Jesus Never died for anyone , agree? |

Peacefullove:Is it your opinion then that physical death is no big deal since it is only the body that dies? |
Re: The Christian Afterlife VS Psalm 115:17 by Peacefullove: 6:11am On Jan 09, 2019 |
Ihedinobi3: Not my opinion but common sense , Abandoned skin of a Snake doesn't mean the real snake itself is dead . You are now making death to look like shedding a Skin or Body, the big deal is the real person isn't dead . So Jesus never died for anybody's sin, he just shed his skin ... Agree? 2 Likes |
Re: The Christian Afterlife VS Psalm 115:17 by Ihedinobi3: 7:35am On Jan 09, 2019 |
Peacefullove:So, basically, physical death is no big deal, is what you are saying, isn't it? |
Re: The Christian Afterlife VS Psalm 115:17 by Peacefullove: 8:20am On Aug 20, 2019 |

Peacefullove:In a relative sense, you are right that physical death is not that big of a deal, because the real "us" is the spirit that will live forever. This is why the Lord Jesus tells us not to fear those who kill the body but cannot do more than that. But in an absolute sense, physical death is an unpleasant anomaly. We were not created for physical death (Genesis 2:17; 2 Corinthians 5:4). Our body is precious to us because it is a covering, like a garment or a house, for our spirits (2 Corinthians 5:1-5). Without them, we are naked: for this reason, even at death we are given an interim body, a sheath for our spirits as we await Resurrection (2 Corinthians 5:3 in Greek; Revelation 6:9-11) when we will receive new bodies - for the Righteous, powerful bodies that shine like stars forever and will be capable of far more than these weak ones we have now are (1 Corinthians 15; Daniel 12:2-3), and for the unrighteous bodies suited to eternal punishment (Daniel 12:2; John 5:28-29). So, physical death is still a big deal, in and of itself. If it were not, murder would not be a problem in God's Eyes or man's. As for the Sacrifice of the Lord Jesus, of course it matters that He was killed physically because His physical Death was unjust. He was not a criminal. He never blasphemed, as the Jewish authorities pretended that He did, and He never fomented rebellion against the Romans as they accused Him of. He was murdered by Jewish and Roman authorities for His Love of the Father and for His Zeal for the Truth. But His Sacrifice for us was spiritual, not physical. The Price that He paid for our sins was His Spiritual Death, which He suffered for three terrible hours while still physically alive on the Cross (Matthew 27:45-46, 50; Mark 15:33-34, 37; Luke 23:44-46; John 19:28-30). After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.” A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. John 19:28-30 ESV The famous "tetelestai" was uttered only after the events recorded in the Matthew, Mark, and Luke accounts. The thing that had been accomplished or "finished" was the Work of our Salvation. It was only after He had paid the Price that He exhaled His human spirit and gave up His physical Life. |
