Sam Shamoun Said THIS About Hebrews Chapter 12. Who Are The "Spirits of Just Men Made Perfect"?

  • @answeringadventism and @shamounian teamed up to "bury" the Advent Defense League, particularly on the SDA understanding of the State of The Dead. They used Hebrews chapter 12:23 to do so, interpreting the "Spirits of just men made perfect" to be disembodied spirits of people who have ascended to heaven. Lets see what happens when you read this scripture in context.
    UPDATE: I have been thinking further about my arguments in this video and realized I need to strengthen some of the points I made with better terminology to give the critics as little wiggle room as possible to refute these truths. I also wanted to add some points and respond to some things that have come up.
    First, when I asked and answered the questions, "Are they there physically? No, but are they there spiritually? Yes!" I thought later that a better way to say it, which would fit better the context, is, "Are they there in ACTUALITY? No, but are they there THROUGH CHRIST? Yes!" This will prevent the critics from replying that they are up there "spiritually," meaning "disembodied." The text in Hebrews neither says those saints were dead nor disembodied. The major examples we have of people who have been taken to heaven were taken in their human bodies. Enoch stepped into the chariot of fire in his body. Moses was resurrected from the grave, and Enoch was simply "taken." Christ communes with those living beings in heaven on our behalf while we commune with the church on earth, but nothing says those living beings, when taken from the earth were "disembodied." That was an interpolation on Myles and Sam's part.
    Second, I was asked about Moses, Elijah, and Enoch. Weren't they taken to heaven? Yes, but again, in their human bodies, not "disembodied." Additionally, SDAs admit SOME have been taken there, but those are the exception, NOT THE RULE. The rule is, "the dead know nothing" (Eccl. 9:5-6).
    Finally, an argument came my way saying that the reference to David not ascending to heaven in Acts 2 can be refuted by saying only his "body" wasn't taken, but his conscious spirit was. But that is refuted by Hebrews 11. David is mentioned in verse 32, yet verses 39-40 says he and the rest of the patriarchs and prophets did "NOT receive the promise," and were not perfected yet. So, he did not consciously go in a disembodied spirit to receive a promise the apostle says he didn't receive yet. Critics like Sam and Myles simply insert that idea into the text without any real consideration of the context.

    Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. [34] For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
    John 5:28-29 KJV
    Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, [29] And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

    The KJV translate the text "the spirit of just men" the greek interliner quotes " the spirit of the righteous made perfect" the text in no way is indicating that perfected spirits of men exist in heaven.
    Paul writes out clearly the process of a resurrection of body an spirit at Jesus coming. "we which are asleep in the grave" If there is already perfected men spirits in heaven then there is no need for a second return which would negate Jesus being the second Adam!!. Also why would Jesus return to heaven in a bodly form?

    All these stalwart are in there graves, go read Hebrews chapter 11 the hall of faith. Sampson Rahab the harlot, David and all those that mentioned in the chapter they're all waiting on us. Teach them to join scripture to scripture, we have to overcome sin at the final test that is coming, in order for those faithful that are in there graves to receive the promise.
    In the first resurrection we who are alive will not proceed those that r dead , at the second coming both the living righteous and those that were dead righteous will be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord..

      ADL is confused or they have an heart of stone.When the bible said the grave can't praised God, mean literally the stone. Spot use this context to say the soul or spirit is unconscious. You ADL are contradicting what you are saying"God is not the God of the dead , he is God of the living." Jacob, Jasuah are a live. The bible said God the Father buried Moses and yet he appeared to Christ on the mount of transfiguration. Enoch translated and he also was with moses on the mount of transfiguration. Two different translation. Also Elijah was caugth up in to heaven.also remember there more than one heaven. Paradise is not heaven also remember that .stop twist the word of God to sooth you soul sleep narrative. Saints are in heaven according to the book of jude. Soul are in hades( hell) according St.Luke 16and 1 Peter 3- 4. That a summary. Capital S represent the Holy spirit remember that.Command s represent the breath of God or the soul.
