What is death?
1 Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord,
that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
Psalms 13:3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes,
lest I sleep the sleep of death
1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed
Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
2 Timothy 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour
Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after
this the judgment:
Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou
shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
What do dead people know?
Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead
know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Psalms 6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave
who shall give thee thanks?
Can the soul live on?
Job 4:17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more
pure than his maker?
Wizards, Witches, and Sorcerers
Deuteronomy 18:10-11 There shall not be found among you any one that
maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter,
or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
What about the Resurrection?
1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
Who are the "spirits"?
2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into
the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing
if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
