Did being JW help you cope with death? (page 2)

This is gonna get to the "what is spirit, what is soul" discussion I think...

isaacaustin

I don't think she has enough knowledge to carry on that sort of discussion.

The soul in the original language means "the breath of life". The soul is not an inner spirit that lives on.....we return to dust. Death was a punishment, if we went to heaven when we died that wouold be a reward, we are all sinners and when we die our breath of life goes out of us, we return to dust and we live in Jahs memory until the resurrection.

AE said: The soul is not an inner spirit that lives on.....we return to dust.

My reply: I just showed the meanings above. Scripture, such a 1 Thes shows man does indeed have a soul that lives on. Our bodies return to the dust.

AE said: Death was a punishment, if we went to heaven when we died that wouold be a reward,

My reply: Death is separation from God. We all have that until we come to Jesus. Heaven is simply where the souls of those who are in Christ wait until they are reunited with the bodies and spirits.

AE said: we are all sinners and when we die our breath of life goes out of us, we return to dust and we live in Jahs memory until the resurrection.

My reply: Out of our bodies- which die. The rest is just Wt rhetoric. Back it up scripturally.
