Seventh Day Adventist and SOUL SLEEP?

I see so while Ellen White was not alive then - she is to blame for whatever they said - anyway!!:laugh:

I prefer to think that the NT saints AND those in 553 KNEW and READ the BIBLE when it says " The Living know they will die but the DEAD know not ANYTHING" when speaking of the "DEAD IN CHRIST" 1Thess 4 we can be SURE that what the Bible SAYS about the DEAD is TRUE - even if the Catholic Church of 553 sought to cover it up!

In Christ,

Bob

 

Hey wait a second! - "you" are "sound Biblical Baptist"???!!:laugh:

I could have sworn you were RC!

IN Christ,

Did you get a degree in "making stuff up"??

quote] 1Thess 4
13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede [b]those[/b] who have [b]fallen asleep.[/b]
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.[/b]
18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

There are only TWO groups. The Living and "The DEAD in Christ" who must be resurrected.

To read this chapter and deny the resurrection is to cling blindly to man-made tradition "No matter what God's Word says".

In Christ,
