So 'He' means soul not body ?You mean to say a person's soul not body returns to ground?No scriptural proof for this brother Nick.

Yes Sarath,Do you mean Eccl 4:12 ? “And if a man prevail against one, two shall withstand him: a threefold cord is not easily broken”.What do you want say on this?

Hi brother Nick,Thanks again for bringing me to appropriate thread on “soul”.Yes I agree that soul departs on our death because the spirit leaves to reach God. What do you mean by departing? where it is going as you think?As I have mentioned earlier the word 'soul' can mean a person.  As “the soul that sins shall die” in Ezk 18:3 , the soul shall…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 23 2008,06:56)Hi GM, Yes they are thus probably not the angels of the churches but they could still be angels.Perhaps the ones called in scripture  'the angel of the Lord'?Genesis 24:7The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware…[Read more]

This is for Pulivarthy.

Thanks brother Nick for those scriptures.

Amne brother Nick,I agree with that view of yours believing that these scriptures about falling of Satan the Dragon or the Old serpent is still in future.Thanks and blessingsAdam

So brother Hanoch, who was this star of morning you think that is mentioned in the scriptures?I am interested to know.Thanks and blessingsAdam

Please brother Nick, you are misunderstanding our brother Choseone, there is no forced doctrine only you seem to infer from what he is quoting. Please see the scriptures he is quoting not any human logic here.Sorry to bother youAdam

Quote (chosenone @ July 23 2008,17:41)Nick.Eph.2:8-9     8 For in grace, through faith, are you saved, and this is not out of you; it is God's approach present,9 not of works, lest anyone should be boasting.Are you boasting that you did something to gain your salvation?  Eph.2.9-10   …and this is not out of you; it is God's approach pre…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ July 21 2008,09:51)Nick….apsolutely without the GRACE of GOD no one would or could ever make it.It is (paramount) we understand what GRACE IS, Grace is GOD”S influencing in our Hearts. We are saved by Grace and that (NOT) of OURSELVES is it a GIFT of GOD.Amen and I agree with that post brother Gene. Many think that man can…[Read more]

Amen to all those verses on fear of the Lord but we need not fear about human pressures and human deceptions.ThanksAdam

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 23 2008,06:58)Hi GM,We should continue in the appropriate thread.Thanks for that welcome brother Nick.

So you are ready to participate in the debate on the topic “the will of God”?

Hi sarath,Welcome to this wonderful family of Heavennet. you will see many brothers and sisters those who match your beliefs and some who differ. But certainly you will learn many unlearned concepts from the scriptures.I am happy about you being a fellow Indian and also my friend in the Lord.May God bless you. Adam

Please see these verses in Revelation;1:20 This is the secret meaning of the seven stars you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches3:1 “To the angel of the church in Sardis, write this: ” 'The one who has the seven spirits of…[Read more]

So we both agree that souls are not immortals. But what will be their status when we die?

That's what I was telling but do you believe our souls are eternal or immortal?Do mortal souls(persons) have memory or knowledge about things happenning after their death?

I don't see them as vessels in Rev 3:1 and 5:6. Jesus is the vessel for those seven spirits of God because he seems to possess them. They are also the eyes of the Lamb. Your interpretation of the angelic spirits is some thing to do with the spirits carying messages and instructions from God but not the seven Spirits of God mentioned in Is 11:1-3…IMO

Thanks for that, I think you may study and discuss for us.
