Where are the dead?
Do you believe our loved ones that have passed that were believers are asleep or in heaven?
also, please do not take my post as an attack on anyone, because it's not my intent, but I agree to disagree and I have a dead mother and just the thought that her soul is no where....well, I'm just not going there, because I simply disagree for the sake of my well being!
I do belive in the resurrection and I believe that the earth will be returned to it's original state. I do belived that some will go to heaven, some will fill the earth, which will be governed by God and his Kingdom in Heaven. I believe that I will see my mother one day in God's time and no one, regarless of your many bible verses will change my mind on that.
I guess we just die and that's it. Sorry, I disagree.
I'm sorry but I'm saying what the bible states and no where does that bible say that your soul lives on nor does it say that we go to heaven when we die.
"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." 2 Corinthians 11:14, 15
What people fail to realize is that angels have existed since God created the world. Angels are "older" than us, and older than our loved ones. They can easily know knowledge about a persons life that only we would know.
These are fallen angels masquerading as our loved ones, trying to deceive us into believing our loved ones are in heaven or hell and make Jesus to be a liar because he has clearly stated that death is a sleep 52 times.
There are many deceptions and Satan knows that one single lie wont be effective in deceiving everyone. So he came up with several. Some men would be deceived by Ghosts and reincarnation. Others would adopt an evolutionary philosophy, that the world created itself without God. Others would be deceived into believing in pagan gods, etc...
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15.

Here's an experience my Dad had where he prayed to see his sister and then finally did one day.
Prayer to See Loretta
I am from a family of nine brother's and sisters. My sister Loretta passed away at the tender age of 10yrs in 1961. I was about 8yrs old. After Loretta passed away I lived a sort of nightmare for the next two or three years. I could not stop thinking of my sister, I began to stammer with my words and virtually stopped talking. I was afraid to put my hand up in class for fear that I wouldn't be able to get the words out. I would cry everytime my sister's name was mentioned. I took on some of the chores Loretta would have normally done. I cried and I cried. All during this time after her passing I begged God to let me see her just once more, I would make up lyttel Prayers to God, I told him that I knew there was a Heaven and that I knew who he was. I told him that I knew Loretta was in Heaven and safe, but I just wanted to see her once more. When I was younger in Liverpool I had a habit of getting up in the middle of the night to melt some cheese on toast, I can remember doing that just about every single night. I guess in reflection I probably did that to have the house all to myself in the quiet night. Anyway, one night I get up, go down the stairs with full intentions of getting some toast and cheese. As I pass by the livingroom door at the bottom of the lancers, I notice that there is a light shining through the partially open parlour door. I was curious, so I entered the living room....... which was usually closed off to us kids unless Dad was around, all the hi-tech like the ''gas fireplace heater,'' ''phone,'' the ''TV'' and his comic books were in that room...... I entered the room and walked into the center, I can remember walking as if a soldier. When I reached the center I about faced to turn and look towards the back wall of the parlour..... opposite the front window...... this was where the blue white light seemed to be coming from, though the light was filling the whole room. This light was not too bright to look at. I was bewildered and filled with joy, my Prayer had been answered, for there in amidst the light was my beautiful sister Loretta. Loretta was floating off the ground about a foot, her feet were actually hanging, her palms were facing me and to this day, I believe that that's where the light emanated from. Loretta looked at me and smiled, I stood there like a soldier and smiled back. I was not afraid at all. A billion words went through my mind as Loretta smiled, everyone of them was good. Now at the age of 48, I believe I'm beginning to sort out all those words.

No, I'm not a Jehovah's Witness.
"Adam and Eve did not have the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse there unforgivable sin."
Ok in the Old Testament sacrifices represented what God was going to do for his people. So the innocent lamb to be slaughtered represented Jesus and the person placed there hands upon the lamb to transfer there sin to Jesus. Then the lamb was killed. The fat represented the sin and the blood was the cleansing. Now that we have Jesus who came, we no longer need a lamb because Jesus was sacrificed. This is correct because Cain and Abel were asked to bring a lamb to be sacrificed, Abraham found a lamb caught in the thisles and sacrificed him. We see that sacrifices were to renew a promise to remain with God, to ask for forgiveness, for protection etc...
