The point is, man will live forever
Yes, my friends, the soul does indeed live on for all eternity either in Christ, or separated from Christ.
Gen 2:16-17 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
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.
Gen 3:4 4 And the serpent said unto the woman,
Ye shall not surely die:
You have chosen to believe the lie of Satan himself. Through this lie you are, and will be deceived. God will allow strong delusion to come upon this world, it is those who have already chosen to believe a lie, and are to proud to give it up, that will be deceived by this strong delusion.
II Th 2:9-12 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and
lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because
they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them
strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who
believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
1 Tim 4:1 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to
seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
The immortality of the soul is the doctrine of the Devil himself. He invented it because
He is the father of lies. He is the one who wanted to be God, to take his place. Therefore he claims immortality for himself, knowing that this thing belongs only to God. Never the less, he will utterly perish, just as God’s word has predicted. Those also who choose to believe his lies, will share his same fate.
Ezek 28:13-19 13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick;
therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror,
and never shalt thou be any more.
Spiritualism is one of the common threads of almost all false religions. The belief in the immortality of the soul will be one of the ties that will bind all of these false religions together in rebellion against God just before He returns. Satan and his angels will be allowed by God to send strong delusion upon this world through this false teaching.
The supposed dead, (fallen angels) will communicate with those of these false religions and guide them in this rebellion. This is already going on in this world to a greater and greater extent as we near the end. Roman Catholics are in the most danger from this deception, since they already pray to the dead, they will count it a blessing when the dead begin talking to them. Those Christians who refuse to give up this lie will also follow in suite.
Bye for now. Y. b. in C. Keith
