@jessee sky the Lord Jesus Christ is part of the God head which means he is a part of the one true God. As a matter of fact John says in the beginning was the Word the word was with God the word was God,, also the Bible says that everything was made by him for him and nothing was made without him making it. Several people that he healed and he revealed himself to them, fell down and worshiped him and he didn't rebuke any of them. Paul teaches that by claiming to be the actual son of God that he thought it not robbery to be equal with the Father. The Father is part of the God Head as well and like you stated Jesus even says to pray to the Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ but Jesus is part of God as well. The Bible says Jesus wants us to fellowship with him,, how can we fully do that without praying to him. Do a search and ask where the Bible specifically tells us not to pray to Jesus. The apostles prayed to the Lord to decide which person to replace judas and usually people says Father in the Bible when they are praying to the Father. Growing up I was taught the same as you but after listening to Pastor Charles Lawson and reading for myself and drawing closer to him, he is way more than I was told. Yes the Father is powerful but Jesus is the God head to, God the Father God the Son God the Holy Ghost and these three are one. No one fully understands the God Head but Jesus is part of it. I tell you with love,, please search the scriptures for yourself with an open mind not doctrine. I believe like you on its wrong to pray to the saints or Mary or statues of Jesus or anything but God almighty. The God Head is explained as with us is body soul and spirit but these three are one. God bless and this is totally out of love I say these things. The most important things that we can not disagree on is Jesus, virgin birth, Jesus died for our sins, and the resurrection of our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ. He is my everything.
@jessee sky well I hope you find your way home. You take Jesus out and you can't get to the Father. The LORD JESUS CHRIST is the only way to the Father! You take him out and you have no hope. Michael is created just as you and I he is not the Christ. Good luck and please get out of the kingdom hall doctrine and read the KJV 1611 or just find a Bible and read ALL the chapters not just parts of scriptures. I really do wish you the best because this is a very important thing we talk about. Your soul for eternity. Michael was not the one that arose from the tomb it was THE LORD JESUS CHRIST the Son of the everlasting loving Father.
@jessee sky and how can you not be of this survival thing , called earth ? Are we to work ? Are we to survive ? Do you have a no father on earth ? Am i supposed to lie to be good ? How about lots of fathers and mothers as grand or greats ? Spirits ? This stuff is depressing to me. I don't have a father to inherit anything ? Ok. This is just mind boggling anymore. And, i get very depressed.
I don't know if this guy is right or wrong? I do know God and Jesus is real. I do know there are evil forces/ demons. All I can say is when I die, I pray the Lord is there to meet me, have mercy on me and protect me!.... Amen!!!
Ronnie Pirtle Jr NO YOU DO NOT, KNOW THEY ARE REAL. You BELIEVE they are real. There is a difference, BELIEF says that you ACCEPT SOMETHING FOR WHICH THERE IS NO EVIDENCE. You could say you believe in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, which is exactly the same as saying you BELIEVE IN YOUR FAKE GOD. The guy producing this video is a LIAR, NONE OF WHAT HE SAYS CAN BE PROVED THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE. Belief requires you to suspend all COMMON SENSE, ALL INTELLIGENCE AND ALLL REALITY. So please present the PROOF OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD OR SHUT THE HELL UP. STOP LYING.
Science-is-Truth open your eyes, creation is proof of the majesty of God Please don’t tell me what I know and do not know, you have no idea who I am or what I believe and what I know. I daresay there is no evidence that you would accept that would convince you. But why all the hate? This is a Christian channel, and here you are spending all this time and energy on something you don’t believe and on people you don’t know
McCall G. I don’t know why I waste my time trying to converse with MORONS, but here goes. WHY DO YOU ACCUSE ME OF HATE? I have NEVER HARMED ANY HUMAN BEING, to the contrary I am a good person who respects his fellow man and helps them. You mistake MY SADNESS AND FRUSTRATION for HATE, HATE has been DEFINED BY CHRISTIANITY, people like me have beenERSECUTED BY GOD FREAK FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. HATRED, PERSECUTION, REPRESSION, INTOLERANCE are all hallmarks of CHRISTIANITY. I am SAD to see my own fellow human beings put a FAKE GOD AHEAD OF MANKIND, you are more interested in PRAISING AND DEVOTION TO YOU VILE, FOUL, FAKE GOD. My granddaughter and grandson are worth more than a BILLION GODS, I KNOW this for a fact their worth is infinite, BUT YOU PUT A FAIRY TALES FAKE GOD AHEAD OF THEM. I do HOPE YOU HAVE NO FAMILY, but if you DO have you told them that they ARE OF LESS WORTH THAN A FAKE GOD. THAT DOES MAKE ME ANGRY, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF BUT YOU ARE TO BLIND TO UNDERSTAND THAT. STOP LYING.
Science-is-Truth yet here you are trolling a Christian video, trying desperately to convince people of something you don’t believe in Wasting your time yet again...why..feel free not to answer, it’s somewhat rhetorical If you keep doing the same thing over and over again..why do keep expecting different results...sounds insane to me You sound very angry, relax and chill on the use of capitalization, it comes off loud
McCall G. I notice that you NEVER ACTUALLY ADDRESS THE SUBJECT OF MY COMMENTS. That is the POLICY of Christianity to demean, threaten and punish ANYONE WHO TRIES TO SPEAK THE TRUTH. TRUTH is the poison pill of religion, therefore TRUTH is to be DESTROYED BY RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS. That is why you STUDIOUSLY AVOID ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS OR ACKNOWLEDGING THE EGREGIOUS CRIMES OF CHRISTIANITY. I AM USING CAPITALS AGAIN, naughty me, I bet you want to BURN ME AT THE STAKE, DON’T YOU?
Very impressive young lady at the beginning. I wish I had a thirst for God when I was that age! I'm a late bloomer, but I'll catch up missy 😊 Blessings to all 🌍❤🙏🏼
The Lord is real and very aware of each of us. I am his servant and blessed to be so. Sadly I am not a very good servant and fail at my task of obeying him more often than I wish.
I feel the same. Although I want to serve him, I do have goals, or things in life I'd like to practise, something I am often told by christians of other churches, like mormon, is that we should want to put His goals for us first(prayer, studying scripture and attending services for sacriment to renew ourselves in Christ, also to be baptised, then when going back for sacriment renews our promise to him. To live toward serving Him and put that before anything else each day.
Good morning! We all fall short but God is so gracious so good that He has forgiven all of our sins. I struggle with that every day with sin but lean on Him not on yourself for confidence and strength. God bless!
Its so awesome to see that young girl with a big bible with all the notes!!! Keep it up sister!! Many of the people i know dont know where Thessalonians is.
Knowing the facts is great, where we go, what we do, how we exist. Knowing all this before it happens Is nice to consider but in all that I chose to just trust God will take care of me body or not. He is in control, a control that will never be taken from him nor become weak. So I rest in mind heart and soul trusting in the lord!
John I am encouraged by your videos and I love the way you teach. It would be helpful if below we had a list of the scriptures you are quoting. Thanks brother. Dustin from WV
Ecclesiastes 12:7 refers to the "spirit" returning to God, who gave it... this isn't the "soul". This is the word "Ruach" which literally means breath. God gave us our breath, and He takes it back. This is our "spark" of life, and without it there is no life. This isn't our "soul". Our spirit is not our own, it is HIS, since we are made in His image, with His breath. It was never ours.
Youre probably going to find out that God, Jesus etc are nothing more than ancient aliens and all this is just an illusion created by any of the oldest & most advanced civilisations in the Universe. At latest calculations, the Universe is 16.3 billion light years old. In that time, civilisations could develop to levels of advancement we can only stare in wonderment at !. Look at the advancement of the Human race since 1900 AD.
Stephen Riley I disagree, the Bible is God’s infallible Word, I pray you are right for your soul or spirits sake because if you are wrong you have an awful lot to lose.
Elizabeth M So true, we became a living soul when YHWH breathed life into us. When we die, we return to the ground from which we came. The word Nefesh means living soul. It's also used 4 other times referring to animals. Animals became living souls as well. Also, if we are immortal, we wouldn't need Jesus. Only YWHW is immortal. At the resurrection we receive our immortality through our new bodies.
Elizabeth M So happy someone else understands that. Traditions of men have ruined such simple biblical lessons. I’m a soul you’re a soul my dog is a soul the birds are souls etc etc. our spirit connects us with god.
raymond lindroth I completely agree with you. But, why the distinction between soul death and soul sleep? They seem to be the same. The idea behind sleep has to do with us being awakened in the resurrection.. We are dead in the Hades (the grave) until the point we are awaken by the return of Yahsuah. I think you'd agree, I'm just intrested in why you are making that distinction. Blessings.
Thank you so much for this Pastor-my son recently had a young friend pass away(born again) in the Marines and I was able to explain he’s not just laying cold in the ground waiting to wake up-he’s in Heaven! Thank you Jesus!!
@@lewislinzy3437 Good sir I will not to quarrel with you, I choose to believe Pastor Barnett’s interpretation of the Bible, Gods word. Blessings to you and yours.
@Messerah I used to believe the traditional viewpoint (you fly off to Heaven ALIVE when you die), but after studying the scriptures and not neglecting the OT too, I have come to change my belief to what you explained here too. Thank you for writing out these scriptures. God bless you.
@@lewislinzy3437 John 3:13 must be read in context of what came before and what comes after those verses and with other scripture text. . Jesus was saying none of the earthly teachers can tell you about heaven because none went and came back to tell. Jesus came from heaven and He could tell us because not only was He from there, but He came to earth and told us. And then went back. Also you neglect many scriptures that say people have gone to heaven or paradise already. Mark 12:26-27, don't forget Enoch and Elijah. Also, Genesis 5:24, Hebrews 11:5, and 2 Kings 2:11. You have to read scripture in context. You cannot isolate passages from the rest of scripture.
"The twinkling of an eye" is considered the amount of time it takes for light to pass from the front of the eye to the back of the eye...thats pretty fast right.
Dr. John Barnett, thank you for this detailed explanation on what the bible teaches about passing. I have been bothered for many days, in agony/depression/fear etc, one might say. The thought of dying and just not thinking or being (for lack of a better term) "awake" is terrifying to me. This is, I imagine, worrisome to most people because we can't imagine not having thoughts or existing. When the bible talked of "soul sleep" and having to wait for the resurrection with Jesus it worried me to no end. I mean, that could take awhile right, in theory? The disciples hung out after Jesus ascended and had to be told to go on living, that Jesus wouldn't be back for awhile yet, they had work to do. So too, I imagine it with us. People have been looking forward to Jesus' return for thousands of years, what if its another thousand? I'm going to be essentially unconscious after I die for thousands of years? How dreadful. But your words and explanations for the first time give me some hope. I want and long to be with God, my family members who have passed, etc. It just seemed like the verses about "soul sleep" and having to wait, and the one about being "absent" and "present with the Lord" didn't mesh. I was very confused. Literally have lost sleep for many days over it, so maybe now I can begin to unwind and get some rest. God bless you and your ministry, truly doing the work of the Lord of hosts.
Thankfully, through "praying for wisdom" and "seeking truth in all things" I began to see how certain teachings within the Catholic church were a bit out of step with the Bible... "purgatory" and the modernized use of "holy-water" just to name a few. On a side note, regarding the use/uses of water in the Bible... it appears the rinsing or washing of one's hands and feet (with pure/clean water) became an ever-increasing hygiene practice/ritual, especially right before entering sacred places or events. However, the Bible never implies water itself has any kind of supernatural or magical power... aside from Jesus' (or God's) direct spiritual influence or control... "water is water"... nothing more and nothing less. That said, if anyone has anything to add, I would be very interested to hear what others have found in their research on the topic... peace!
@James Brice It means that a lifetime of service in the Vinyard has to mean something. Salvation is open till the last second but the parable of the talents shows the reward for enduring with patience for a lifetime
Interesting question. In 2010 during my 17th brain surgery for hydrocephalus, my brain was torn as they removed my broken shunt. While under anesthesia in recovery, angel appeared to me. It was a very peaceful experience and i knew it was the Lord God's presence with me. He said to me with empathy "I know you've been through a lot throughout life, are you ready to go? It was such a beautiful experience and t knew i would be in heaven since i asked the Lord into my heart at age 19, so i said "yes"; Then I thought about my wife and kids and and told him that i couldn't bcz they needed me. He told me that life would be tough for a while and asked "are you sure?" i confirmed. After that, i woke up in recovery to find out from my nurse that my heart rate had dropped down to 33bpm and she said if it got any lower, they were going to place the jumper cables on me. He showed me that he really respects our decisions and cares for us. Sorry for the length of this post
Why would we go to heaven or hell the moment we die before judgement takes place? Why would be rewarded or punished before we are judged or sentenced? That has always rolled around in my head. Good on this young girl having such a great question!
because your influence lives on so the effects of your life are not necessarily over at your death, besides God has decided to do the Great White Throne Judgment at the end of time...Much more can be said
Two guitar pixie the reason we would go to heaven or hell / the pit after we die before judgment is because God already knows the end from the beginning he knows who are his and he knows who belongs to Satan he watched your life as you lived it now that your life has been completed at death he's already pronounced judgment you just don't know the outcome yet those who go to heaven will be judged for the righteous acts not for their sins because they are forgiven at the cross those who do not accept the sacrifice of Jesus at The Cross and die in their sins they will be judged at the great white throne judgment when they die and before this great white throne judgment they are sent to Hades to wait like a person who has committed a crime but has no family or friends to bail them out of jail must sit in jail until they're called out to go to court for their trial in the same essence when they are people called out of Hades for the great right thrown judgment they're basically leaving the county jail where there been held without bail and now they'll be going to the great white throne judgment and found guilty and cast into the lake of fire which is prison in a sense but eternal and very horrible and wretched and burning forever and ever
Thank you for all these videos!! U do a great job trying to answer all these important questions! And have helped clarify a lot of things and I appreciate all the effort to share it with us :) praise God !! please keep it up and I wish I could be there in person
@@rosewhite--- when you go to sleep how much time are you aware of before you awaken? So if you die and your body is in the grave for 500 years will you be aware of it?
@@brucewmclaughlin9072 At death all thoughts perish. Maybe you need to ask someone to explain that to you? Also of course Jesus did say that no one had gone to heaven except himself. But perhaps you think lots of dead people did?
@@rosewhite--- Yes at death all thoughts perish and when you sleep all thoughts are not recorded unless you are dreaming, so you have no time reference to when you drop off and when you wake up!. When you die the scriptures indicate that you are absent from the body ( death of flesh including thoughts) and present with the Lord , no time reference given. Perhaps watch the video again as you missed something about up and down as destinations of the dead.
My two son's and I were just talking about this Very scripture.. All day I have been in study and All day I have been drawn to your lessons and each one was a topic of our last discussion. Thank You.
It is enough for me to know that, as the departed people I have known and loved have gone that way....then I have no problem following them when the time comes.
Thank You this has been on my mind for a long time and God gave you the answer to tell me. I always wonder when we die do we sleep in the grave until the day of the Lord or does our physical bodies sleep in the grave. Thank You Jesus for giving me this answer.
Jesus also said "Do!" Jesus said His work is finished, that doesn't mean that our work is finished, in fact there are more than a dozen passages that say we will be judged and rewarded according to what we "do". (Romans 2:6, 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 4:5, 1 Peter 1:17, Revelation 20:12, Psalms 62:12, Proverbs 24:12, Colossians 3:25, Proverbs 11:31, 1 Corinthians 3:8, etc.). We cannot discount our actions when it comes to our own inheritance and reward or lack thereof, in Heaven.
@@scottb4509 // look. I'm a preachers daughter and know what the Bible says, but the Bible has been changed by man over and over purposely for power and control. So what do you think happens to the 16 year old boy/girl shot in by a mass murderer, the 19 year olds in car accidents, the 20 year old that is murdered and died instantly, etc. You know where I'm going???...Please don't come back at me with the word HELL in it...and if you do...have a great explanation and not just verses you read in the KJV today.
@@Donna-vh5ym so if do= Love are you saying that only religion tells us to love? and Jesus says that we don't need to love because His love is finished? I'm confused as to why you would say that religion says "do", an then said that "do" = Love??? Because Christ also said that if you love me Keep my commandment" (i.e. DO) (John 14:15). Jesus also laid out some pretty straight forward commandments and things that we must "DO" in order to enter into His kingdom (Matthew 19:17). Baptism being one of them (John 3:5). etc. I guess I may not be fully understanding what you are asking?! For all those that are taken from this earth before their time, as we might presume, are in fact still judged according to that which they did in the flesh. so those young people are still judged the same as the rest of us, because God is no respecter of persons. God does not give different standards to one than to another. and that standard is that we are all judged according to what we know. therefore, for those who know less they are judged less harshly, and those that are preachers and claim to know lots are judged more harshly as to whether they followed what they knew or not. However I think you are conflating two different aspects of the gospel. one is the basis for our salvation, and the other is the reward and inheritance that we will receive once we are saved. Almost all will be saved or gain some form of inheritance in Heaven through the merits and grace of Christ who atones for and redeems us. However, just as 1 Corinthians 15:40-41 states, all those that enter into one of those three distinct brackets of Heaven will receive different levels of inheritance and reward according to what we do in the flesh and that is where our deeds come into play. our deeds determine the level of reward and glory we will receive once we get to Heaven, not that our deeds will either win us or lose us a spot in Heaven in the first place. for salvation is a free gift from God, that not of ourselves lest any man should boast. if I misunderstood what you meant please feel free to explain further so that we can be on the same page.
God bless you and Bonnie Dr Barnett !!! Following Your teachings for 4 years now ❤🙏as well as Dr Stanley, Pastor Jack Hibbs Pastor Skip Heitzig Amir Tsarfati, John MacArthur God bless you all and everyone here❤🙏
This was my thought exactly. the 'spirit' was placed into Adam's 'body' and they together became a living "soul". (Gen. 2:7) therefore, the spirit cannot be synonymous with the soul, if the soul involves the body also.
My biggest fear is that when we die we will lose complete memory of our life, or even worse that we feel nothing and don't think anything- that we are in eternal nothingness. I hope that when I die, the Lord will take me with him and protect my soul. Amen! 🙏🏼
No. We don't. You are in grave until Jesus returns. NOT in some false secret rapture. But whencHe actually comes back on the last trump. Then we get to be on the new earth never having set foot in heaven. (After judgement is)
DTMB OnlineVideoTraining Does Calvary Baptist Church have a livestream? I'm agoraphobia and schizophrenic, rarely leave the house. Hope to soon, but this Word is too good to miss.
The answer to the question is given clearly in the Bible: Genesis 3:19 "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." Where do we immediately go after we die? In the ground, and we become what Adam was before he was formed: dirt. Genesis 2:7 ''And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.'' 1) God made the body ... Where was Adam's soul until this point? Waiting on God's USB flash memory ???? Non existent , the body was not yet alive. 2) God breathed breath of life into Adam ... Did any soul came to enter Adam , to posses his body or whatever??? No ...WHY?!?! 3) ..and man BECAME a LIVING SOUL Body + breath of life = LIVING SOUL. We don't have souls.... We ARE LIVING SOULS We HAVE BODIES. When body is destroyed or breath of life taken = Dead soul, the same state in which Adam was before he received breath of life. spirit or breath of life + all our essence aka consciousness and everything that makes us who we are is put on hold at the moment of death . Jesus clearly said death is just like sleep . You could sleep for just 1 minute or 10 years ... You would experience nothing between going to sleep and waking up,no matter how long you've been dead. instant sense of awakening no matter how much time you sleep .You perceive no flow of time ,nothing , period. The moment you fall asleep you are put on hold , you experience instant transition to waking up . how hard can it be to read the Bible and take it as it is except where it specifically says there is a methapor or parable???
That was during hte ot times, the new times God gave us a far better place after we die. With him, not waiting for him but with him, the next step is to receive our new physical bodies that are glorified and perfect like Gods is. You are deceived overrider. Plenty of proof that we continue to have consciousness after we die, there are scenes in Heaven where people that were killed spoke too the lord.
overrider you are an idiot. Instead of telling other people to read the Bible with your holly roller attitude, maybe you should read it first. Because you don’t understand a thing about it. There is no such thing as soul sleep. This video went verse by verse and proved it to you. Clearly you didn’t even watch the video. 🙄
@@DarkQuiet they said the same about Jesus , that he has demons and other stuff...i don't mind you calling me names, if you want to believe forced interpretations invented by men in order to keep the flock happy, go ahead, I don't care. My duty as a apprentice of Jesus is to testify about Him the way the Word says, no how people say. Peace
The body returns to the dust. But the soul ...the essence of who you are, is either sent to prison or if you will Hades, or to be with the Lord...heaven. Everyone that is not innocent is sent to prison and those that are declared righteous go to wait for the resurrection. If your born again you're declared innocent or if you're not at the age of accountability...you'd be declared innocent. Anyone outside of these two states of existence are held in in prison.
Please refer to Ecclesiastes 3:20, Both go to the same place they came from dust, and they return to dust. Ecclesiastes 12:7, For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.
He is right! it all is in the Bible it’s biblical Christ come to save us believe in him and accept him as lord and savior and you will never die! Go read your Bible it’s in there people perish becoz of lack of knowledge
Woe to the idol [good for nothing] shepherd that leaveth [apostatise] the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm [help] shall be clean dried up, and *his right eye shall be utterly darkened* {Zechariah 12:17}
Wondering about the part where u are saying JESUS took the thief with him to paridise that day ?? What about When Jesus rose from dead and not to touch him because he hadnt gone to the father yet ??.. so if he hadnt gone to father yet how did he bring thief to there??
Alisa Lauzon I have heard it explained that it wasn't that literal day, but the Day we are all resurrected! No one man has ascended to The Father! Only His Son! So on that day when He comes into His Kingdom that is the day that the thief would be with him. It says that the living do not go before the ones in the grave.....so the thief going would contradict this....what made the thief to go before ALL the others?? Doesn't make sense!
Stephenie Hamilton yes thats how i believe. I gusse there was cotroversy ,one coma changed whole meaning !! Thank you for sharing. That verse also !!!!
The New Testament was written in Greek. Greek used no punctuation and didn't even have spaces between words.There was no comma in the original Greek text. That was added later and is misplaced. If the comma is placed after the word "today" the meaning is changed. Then it says "I'm telling you now, this day, that you will >eventually< be with me in paradise. Here Jesus is referring to the new earth after it is remade by God the father to be as it was originally following the creation.
@@fromanabe8639 i agree with you 100%.paradise is name of the new earth .also the story of lazrus and rich man was parable not real story .our soul is not immortal
Dear Sir by the grace of the Lord i found your videos yesterday and are eternally greatful to God for sending me to your teaching and to yourself for speaking the truth given to all men by way of the bible. Thankyou to the Father the Son and Holy Spirit and to you for being able to converse the word of God in a manner that i a very simple person can understand God bless you and to all who strive to fulfill his word
Correct, there is no such thing as soul sleep and never let someone convince you otherwise. Not that it would matter a whole lot in the long run but thats just their way of depriving the good from your death. You will have rest with God in Heaven even after your death, so you dont truly die, just the shell. However as we know Angels are spirits and they have form, they appear human but they glow with a fire a light. I believe we will be similar in form temporarily. We will be clothes with God.
Context Jamie! Paul was talking about being ready to end his suffering. He knew that there was a selfish benefit in dying, but he knew that it was better to hold off on entering his rest (sleep many other places).
Jamie Wellman -- True but the details are not in that verse are they? I can throw out verses all day. I'd rather drop my pride and LEARN the TRUTH instead of repeating a verse thinking I know ALL.
@@darthbane2669 Jesus said of Lazarus that he was "sleeping". Also, the witch was able to summon Samuel from his sleep in the grave. That story is in the bible. Our body is in the grave. Part of us is also in there asleep to the physical world until the resurection and judgement day. Yet, we are also consciously aware at the same time with God in either Paradise or Hades until the judgement seat judgements and the white throne judgements. Make sense?
7:15 today I tell you ..can mean two things.. 1.. that I tell you today (on this day I tell you that at some point you will be with me in paradise) 2.. that I tell you today (on this same day you will be with me in paradise) It comes down to a comma placement.
@@kennethnarmore8039 huge difference between 1 and 2 :) 1= You will be with me in paradise.. although not necessarily today. 2= You will be with me in paradise today.
All I know is the bible says to be absent from the body is to be PRESENT WITH THE LORD...ON THE CROSS WHAT DID CHRIST SAY TO THE THEIF ON THE CROSS? CASE CLOSED
+rierie c. -- Case closed? Says who? A teaching straight from the Scriptures is lies? Pay attention to Dr. Barnett's teaching and learn something, then check it in the Scriptures.. It isn't up to YOU to say "case closed".. God's word is TRUTH.. and EVERYTHING here is taken from God's word. Using Scripture out of context does not make your case.
@@cuttybatson4292 That is the most misunderstood parable. The bible is clear, that no one is in Hell or Heaven yet until the judgement seat judgements and white throne judgement. Our physical body is in the grave. Our soul is asleep until the resurection and judgements. At the same time, we are consciously aware with God in Paradise. The unsaved are consciously aware in Hades.
What if Jesus said “I tell you today, you shall be with me in Paradise”. Meaning that he will end up being with him in Paradise, just not necessarily “today”. That’s what I always thought it meant.????? Am I wrong?🙏tell.❤️😎
Pastor John says we are immortal beings 17 minutes into this video. What verse would support that idea? 1Tim 6:16 would appear to disagree with him. Jesus gives us the gift of immortal life.
Exactly soul sleep is a lie. I believe they are none believers and are satans children, for they often are very hostile and hateful towards those that dont accept their version.
@@darthbane2669 yet you call other humans "satans children" that is not the way of our Lord. Love others as yourself, dont compare people to satan...you are no more worthy of salvation than anybody. If God spared you he can do the same for anyone who says sorry and receives him. Humans deserve your love and respect no matter how they act. We are all guilty before God without what Jesus has done. You did not earn salvation, remember that.
@@urielmesenja1040 call it as you see it. Which Jesus do you believe in? I believe in one of Love but Truth. False doctrine is not Truth. Real Christians do not tolerate fallacy in the face of truth. Jesus did not either. He rebuked many. He even told Peter, "Get behind me Satan."
@@darthbane2669 Our physical body is in the grave. Our soul is asleep. Yet at the same time, we are consciously aware with God in Paradise for the saved. The unsaved are in Hades. No one goes to Heaven or Hell until the judgement seat judgements and white throne judgements. Jesus clearly said that Lazarus was sleeping. He was also conscious with God. Jesus brought him back.
I learned a whole lot from this. Guy there's a lot that I don't know but I know one thing I love God don't live for him but I love him God bless everybody
I imagine someone trying to pick up all the ashes and dust that was their body in the resurrection, and in rebuilding their body be missing parts like an ear or toe or something haha. I can't imagine that this is how it really will be, but we do know that the graves will give up their bodies, and the sea also, so there may be some merit to the idea that the body we once had becoming perfected and raising at the resurrection.
Good lesson for the most part. There is no such thing as Soul Sleep. First of all the main scriptures that are used to try and support soul sleep is from Ecclesiastes that say "the dead know nothing", such an interpretation of this statement ignores the truth that the foundation of the book of Ecclesiastes , that is repeated over and over again is "under the sun". So, it means that the dead knows nothing "under the sun" or what is happening on planet earth. However, people who have died are very much awake and aware of their location and existence. In Revelation chapter 6 when the 5th Seal is pulled, John saw souls under the altar who spoke, conversed, listened and were very aware of their location and where they came from. In Philippians 1:21-26 Paul speaks of being undecided about going to be with the Lord or staying with the saints on earth to further work in the kingdom. Now, he said he would much rather depart and be with the Lord, which is far better, but to continue laboring with the saints would be more needful or beneficial. Now, if there was "soul sleep", there wouldn't be a point of Paul being undecided. If he would die and go into a "soul sleep", then obviously he should stay here as long as possible and work, because his hope of going to be with the Lord immediately if he died is unfounded. He wouldn't be with the Lord until the Ressurrection many, many years later. God Bless, Pastor K. L. Greene
Kelvin Greene Thank you so much! I have sought for a sobering answer to “the dead know nothing” and the book of revelation’s souls crying out. The two did not make sense. Also Paul wanting to go to the Lord but staying to do works. My first influence on this matter was by Jehovah’s Witnesses years ago. I held onto “the dead know nothing” because no one had a sufficient answer. If you read through the many comments, JW or not, many people agree that the soul is what we became via the breath of life aka spirit of God. I agree with this, but I have a hard time accepting some of the doctrines presented by general Christianity and find myself falling towards more legalistic theology because of my JW background. I want to accept grace, but also understand faith without works is dead, as the body without life is dead. If it is okay with you, I’d like to have correspondence with you for some questions I have? I do not know how to turn a public forum on RUclips into a private message though. At the same time, keeping it right here may bring positive influence to people! Your comment about Ecclesiastes theme of everything under the sun finally made the point clear; the dead know nothing under the sun!!! Thanks again brother!
Hello@@JeremyThielman You are welcome and all glory to God Almighty. I would be glad and honored to discuss the Holy Scriptures with you here and answer any questions if I can.
@@TheTruthAndTheCross Thank you! Most recently I have been wanting to look at the parables in the gospels. Luke 5:33-39. The common takes are the new wine is new spiritual law/new covenant. The Hebrew roots and those strong on pushing Torah disagree and propose the context of that parable is the oral law and traditions of men are the new wine, bitter and bland. This verse 39 where Jesus says men will not want new wine after tasting the old, because the old is better. So the old is the law in that perspective. I'd like to think the new is better but verse 39 doesn't make sense in that perspective to me. Thanks again for your willingness to write me back!
Just some of the scriptures (and not in order) cited in this video are: Hebrews 11.40 & Ezekiel 32.18-32 & 2 Corinthians 5.1-10 & 1 Corinthians 15.50-55 & 1 Thessalonians 4.13-16 & John 5.28 & Luke 16.19-31 & Luke 23.43 & Ephesians 4
John3[13] And no man hath ascended up (anabaino) to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. anabaino; to go up (literally or figuratively): - arise, ascend (up), climb (go, grow, rise, spring) up, come (up). So - according to God's Word, no mortal human being has gone up to heaven. None. Not one. That is because they will not be raised from the dead until the last day at the end of the world, in the 2nd resurrection. The 1st resurrection will be for only 144,000 slain saints who will rule with Christ for 1,000 yrs. All other people will remain sleeping in the grave until the last day at the end of the world. Psalms24[3] Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? Christ only has ascended into heaven to see and be with God: Proverbs30[4] Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?[5] Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.[6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. The Bible teaches that all people throughout history and until the day of resurrection sleep in the grave when they die, waiting to be raised from their sleep of physical death until after Christ's return. Job spoke of his own resurrection to come: Job14[12] So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.[13] O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! [14] If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. [15] Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. In the grave, all memory of this world is lost forever. God does not want the saved to bring their emotional baggage of their past sinful lives into the new earth to live with him: Ecclesiastes[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. All of the Old Testament Patriarchs are now sleeping in the grave, waiting to be resurrected on the last day: 2Pet.3[4] And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. All of the kings of Israel are stated to have fallen asleep in the grave: 1Kgs2:10, 1Kgs11:21-43, 1Kgs14:20-31, 1Kgs15:8-24, 1Kgs16:6-2828, 1Kgs22:40-50, 2Kgs8:2424, 2Kgs10:35, 2Kgs13:9-13, 2Kgs14:16, 2Kgs15:7-38, 2Kgs16:20, 2Kgs20:21, 2Kgs21:18, 2Kgs24:6, 2Chr9:31, 2Chr12:16, 2Chr14:1, 2Chr16:13, 2Chr21:1, 2Chr26:2-23, 2Chr27:9, 2Chr28:27, 2Chr32:33, 2Chr33:20. King David spoke of his own resurrection to come: Psalms 17[15] As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. The Apostle Paul confirmed the fact that King David now sleeps until the day of resurrection: Acts13[36] For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption. Jesus Christ stated the dead will not be raised until the last day, not one day before, not one after: John5[25] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.[26] For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;[27] And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.[28] 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. John6[39] And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.[40] And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.[44] No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.[54] Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 1Thesselonians4[13] But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.[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. 1Cor6[14] And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. 2Cor4[14] Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 1Thessalonians4[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. Ephesians5[14] Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Daniel12[2] And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 1Cor6[14] And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. Scripture states that if you do not believe in the resurrection, which Christ stated repeatedly will be on the last day, then your faith is in vain because it is based upon the fact that Christ was raised from the dead as we shall be on the last day: 1Cor15 [12] Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? [13] But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: [14] And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Jesus Christ told us that the dead will not be raised from their sleep until the end of the world, then separated unto the kingdom of God or lake of fire: Matthew13 [31] Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: [32] Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. [33] Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. [34] All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: [35] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. [36] Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. [37] He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; [38] The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; [39] The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. [40] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. [41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; [42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. [43] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
Death: Our body dies; Soul included Our spirit goes to God At resurrection; we are raised with a new body. Our spirit and new body unite > Live forever.
@@About2Rain we don't "choose" to "accept" Jesus. (thats not Biblical) We realize Jesus ultimately. The forgiveness of the cross is to all. There is no alternative... There doesn't need to be! We are blessed!

Ecclesiastes 9: 4For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5For 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. 6Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. 7Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 8Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment. 9Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. 10Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
@@danieljust295 There is no separating body and spirit....it’s your spirit that says “I” AND CONTROLS YOUR BODY. It’s your MEMORY, if you hated, loved its all over. Those are the things your spirit told your body what to do...the two are inseparable if your MEMORY which is spirit is forgotten...you can’t remember nothing cause “you’re” which consist of body and soul is dead....and the next passage Eccl 9 tells us to... 7Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 8Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment. 9Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. 10Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

@@jaxstudios7670 Are you saying that after death there is nothing else? As in we cease to exist on that day and perish ? If that’s what you are saying, then how do you explain the 2nd coming of Christ !? How do you explain Jesus saying that he’s going to prepare a place for us? Why would we need to repent and seek the Lord if we simply pass away and cease to exist? How do we explain when Jesus was resurrected and he was able to eat and have a physical body ? If there’s no consequences of our lives here on earth , then everyone should start living according to their flesh , right?
@@PettyIsMyMiddleName ...no...Im not saying any of what I QUOTED....the Prophet who wrote the book of Ecclesiastes is saying it. I didn't put MY thoughts anywhere in my post.... Those verses DONT nullify the 2nd coming or resurrections from occurring just as scripture says they will... And men will decide for themselves which road they walk upon... Read the book in its context...Grapple with God if you don't agree with it....and if your mind automatically deciphers doing whatever you do with your might a ticket to sin well I can't help how your mind is working...but no I dont see it that way....
@@danieljust295 Scripture says this about the man and the soul.... Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. The opposite of living soul would be dead soul...no BREATH therein...because thats how life began...with a BREATH... When we die we go into the ground and WAIT...asleep...dead to the world..unconscious...till that BREATH resurrects us at the 2nd coming of Christ.
So... What was your answer to the question??? Where do we go immediately after death??? Do we go to a "happy place" or what? Where where where do we go ??? Do you have any supporting scripture to help with your answers? Thank you!
I disagree with you. Surely I say to you today, you shall see Paradise. I added the comma after today. But if you put that comma anywhere else and it makes Jesus a liar. John 3:13 And no one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven, even the Son of Man John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God How is it the thief, who should not have a ascended it to heaven according to john 3:13, went to heaven before Jesus did?
He went to paradise read your scritures this was where those who choose God before jesus died went, then he emptied paradise into heaven at his resurrection
@@imaidiot1997 Paradise is the the garden. I don't think that he is there. Paradise is closed to humans for it contains the tree of life. However, it will be brought down to earth after the Resurrection. The dead know nothing. Because the dead have not resurrected yet.

Here in this video, starting at15-16 minutes, is yet another person who cannot choose whether to believe that adam's offspring are immortal or not. Did Adam eat the fruit in rebellion to God and then die eventually, or not? What about us? Are we mortal as well, or not?
Boy this Guy GREAT.. He Explains it so Easily & DOSNT Try To Talk over Ur Head.. He explains the Bible An talks/ explains it Like Ur a Kid witch is Nice Cause it is Hard to Understand Everything sometimes... who ever ths Guy is He’s Good...👍🏼
Jesus said Spread the gospel, preach the good news but like always humanity does we waste time trying to understand something out of our reality, but nobody focus in the real thing loving our enemies feeding the hungry, helping the needy and etc but oh wait lets focus on where we gonna go, my man you will see it when you die we all will but FOCUS ON JESUS TEACHINGS
And furthermore for the other commenters who share about you go to judgment straight after death that's not the sequence for the Biblical believer at all.... If you are a born again Christian you do not stand JUDGED you stand FORGIVEN! buleedat!
You are wrong. scripture says judgment begins at the house of God and if the righteous be scarcely saved where do the sinner and the ungodly appear? Jesus says we shall be judged by every idle word we speak.
+Scott Hull --Chapter and verse? I have to laugh though I don't want to. You have SO much PRIDE that you think you know more than a man with more than one Theological DOCTRATES??

It dose say were our souls and bodies go but what about people who Choose Cremations and how dose the body sleep then. ? When when I die as long as I don't feel it I'm ok with it.
I had the same thought about cremation, and then I thought of all the buried bodies that must have turned to dust by now.... So I'm thinking when the call happens and the day arrives, the dust will be gathered from wherever it may be and God will do what he does best and perform miracles and make them bodies again.
When a person dies whether a believer or an unbeliever, they go to the grave (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10). The Bible says they are asleep awaiting the resurrection to eternal life or damnation(Daniel 12:2; John 5:28-29), not to some happy side. That isn't biblical; that's a false teaching. All who ever lived on earth and have died are in the grave asleep. No one is in heaven except the one (Jesus) who came down from heaven (John 3:13). In the Bible, Hell is a word used in reference to the grave(1 Corinthians 15:55) just like the words Sheol (Hebrew)and Hades (Greek) and the word Pit. Not some under the earth place burning with fire and a devil in a red suit with a pitch fork. The Bible says that your adversary the devil, walketh about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour(1Peter 5:8). There are so many (too many) man-made traditions and translations of what a person thinks the Bible is saying, but if you do what 2 Timothy 2:15 says "Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" and allow the Holy Spirit to guide and teach you (John 16:13; John 14:26), then you'll be able to discern(Malachi 3:18)between truth and error and not get caught up in every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14).
Gee Gee you have got to be the biggest idiot on the planet. You have absolutely no understanding of the Word of God. That most likely means you are hopelessly lost. You are also playing the part of a false prophet so there’s going to be a special place in the lake of fire for you. 🔥🔥🔥
@@DarkQuiet What's with the name calling? What are you, 12? I'm far from being anyone's idiot, but on the other hand, if you look in the mirror you might just see that idiot you're talking about. Just because you obviously have no clue nor understanding of the word of God concerning this subject, shows in your ignorant comment. This is how a person reacts when they reject truth. It's Obvious you're still bound because according to the Word of God, the Truth sets people free. Now, I won't go back and forth with you on this subject. May I suggest you do what 2 Timothy 2:15 says and study to show yourself approved unto God.............
If I wait, the grave is my house. Says Job. When we die, we go nowhere but the grave. We sleep until the heavens are no more. It is only at the second coming of Christ when we will be rewarded with eternal life or eternal death. So dismiss ALL the accounts of those claiming to have died and went to heaven or Hell. The word of God should be our only guide, not the testimonies of others. The Bible says "If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. It doesn't matter how genuine a person's testimony of their NDE was.
That was Jobs time before Jesus Christ died for our sins and opened Heaven for us, he clearly said he took those in Hell or sheol whatever you want to call it back with him that were worthy.
My father died 11 days ago. Im not sure if he sleep or he is with God. What is writen? "I said to you today,you will be with me in paradiese? Or "I said to you,today you will be with me in paradise?" Where is he right now? My dad
Note:: It is common knowledge to all, that when a person dies, the first sign is that his breath is gone. His breath/spirit that God breathd to his nostrils when He formed man, is the same that return to God who gave it.
The bible absolutely DOES teach that the dead rest in the grave until the second coming. There are DOZENS of verses that say the same thing. 1. A soul is made up of two parts: a body and the breath of life. Without one of the parts you no longer have a soul. The unconscious essence or breath goes back to God. Luke 16 is absolutely a parable and NOT meant to be taken literally. It is meant symbolically to teach a concept or theme. In Luke 23, there is a punctuation error in the translation. Jesus is saying "I assure you today, you will be with me in paradise (someday). He is not saying today you will be with me. Proof: Jesus did not ascend to Heaven for 40 days after that. The thieves were taken down and had their legs broken so they couldn’t get away days or weeks later according to Roman records. 2. Sheol is translated in English as "the grave", it does not mean a place of eternal torment. The dead know nothing. The dead sleep in "the grave" until the resurrection. Hades is a fictitious place in Greek Mythology where the dead go (could be interpreted grave as well). 3. We are a MORTAL soul and we don't put on immortality until the second coming. Therefore, there is No WAY we can be in Heaven or Hell until after we receive our reward of immortality. 4. The judgement hasn't happened yet. How can anyone be in Heaven or Hell yet if we haven't been judged yet?
Some one needs to tell Moses he wasn't support to be seen, and he should still be in his grave,not on the mountain with Jesus. And when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had upheld. And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood?” Then each of them was given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they had been killed.… Luke 9:28-36
What would you say to someone who thinks that Jesus meant “I tell you today” as in “Today is the day I’m telling you something… you’ll be with me in paradise much later.” How do we know today referred to the resurrection and not the statement?
This needs to be looked at from two perspectives, from those who are still alive and from those who have died. 1 from the dead perspective, time is no longer applied to them. According to the Bible, when someone passes they go to sleep until they are woken to either of the two resurrections in revelation 20. That sleep is the same as if we were asleep today. We are aware of nothing until we wake up. When a person who was asleep wakes up they are not aware any time has passed until they look around. Same with a person who has died. When a person dies their next conscious thought will be either of the two resurrections. So to the dead person it will seem like only a split second has passed no matter how much time has actually passed since they died. 2 to those of us still alive, however, we are still affected by time. We are living out our lives. To us, the dead are still asleep waiting for one of the two resurrections, even if it has been years and years. So to answer the question , what happens the instant you die? Simple. You will be immediately woken up to either of the two resurrections in revelation 20.
also the dead know nothing..they are unaware of time so it will seem like a blinking of an eye from death to judgment when they all will bow before Him.
Agree with Junior... they know nothing under the sun. meaning that they no longer have an ability to see the things transpiring on this world. If his kids honor him he does not know, if his son gets a promotion he does not know. they don't take worldly things with them, and have no way to influence or control things of this world when they are out of this world. This doesn't mean that they are not aware of the things of that spirit realm that they now are in. Luke 16 and 1 Peter 3:19; 4:6 show that there is consciousness, communication, and learning in that spirit realm.
As for me-Lord Jesus into your hands I commit my spirit.
Amen thank you Jesus and God bless everybody s spirit
It was the breath of life that went back to God.
Jesus went to the place of the dead for 3 days first before he resurrected.
@jessee sky the Lord Jesus Christ is part of the God head which means he is a part of the one true God. As a matter of fact John says in the beginning was the Word the word was with God the word was God,, also the Bible says that everything was made by him for him and nothing was made without him making it. Several people that he healed and he revealed himself to them, fell down and worshiped him and he didn't rebuke any of them. Paul teaches that by claiming to be the actual son of God that he thought it not robbery to be equal with the Father. The Father is part of the God Head as well and like you stated Jesus even says to pray to the Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ but Jesus is part of God as well. The Bible says Jesus wants us to fellowship with him,, how can we fully do that without praying to him. Do a search and ask where the Bible specifically tells us not to pray to Jesus. The apostles prayed to the Lord to decide which person to replace judas and usually people says Father in the Bible when they are praying to the Father. Growing up I was taught the same as you but after listening to Pastor Charles Lawson and reading for myself and drawing closer to him, he is way more than I was told. Yes the Father is powerful but Jesus is the God head to, God the Father God the Son God the Holy Ghost and these three are one. No one fully understands the God Head but Jesus is part of it. I tell you with love,, please search the scriptures for yourself with an open mind not doctrine. I believe like you on its wrong to pray to the saints or Mary or statues of Jesus or anything but God almighty. The God Head is explained as with us is body soul and spirit but these three are one. God bless and this is totally out of love I say these things. The most important things that we can not disagree on is Jesus, virgin birth, Jesus died for our sins, and the resurrection of our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ. He is my everything.
@jessee sky well I hope you find your way home. You take Jesus out and you can't get to the Father. The LORD JESUS CHRIST is the only way to the Father! You take him out and you have no hope. Michael is created just as you and I he is not the Christ. Good luck and please get out of the kingdom hall doctrine and read the KJV 1611 or just find a Bible and read ALL the chapters not just parts of scriptures. I really do wish you the best because this is a very important thing we talk about. Your soul for eternity. Michael was not the one that arose from the tomb it was THE LORD JESUS CHRIST the Son of the everlasting loving Father.
@jessee sky and how can you not be of this survival thing , called earth ? Are we to work ? Are we to survive ? Do you have a no father on earth ? Am i supposed to lie to be good ? How about lots of fathers and mothers as grand or greats ? Spirits ? This stuff is depressing to me. I don't have a father to inherit anything ? Ok. This is just mind boggling anymore. And, i get very depressed.
I don't know if this guy is right or wrong?
I do know God and Jesus is real.
I do know there are evil forces/ demons.
All I can say is when I die, I pray the Lord is there to meet me, have mercy on me and protect me!.... Amen!!!
Ronnie Pirtle Jr NO YOU DO NOT, KNOW THEY ARE REAL.
You BELIEVE they are real.
There is a difference, BELIEF says that you ACCEPT SOMETHING FOR WHICH THERE IS NO EVIDENCE.

So please present the PROOF OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD OR SHUT THE HELL UP.
STOP LYING.
Science-is-Truth open your eyes, creation is proof of the majesty of God
Please don’t tell me what I know and do not know, you have no idea who I am or what I believe and what I know. I daresay there is no evidence that you would accept that would convince you.
But why all the hate? This is a Christian channel, and here you are spending all this time and energy on something you don’t believe and on people you don’t know
McCall G. I don’t know why I waste my time trying to converse with MORONS, but here goes.
WHY DO YOU ACCUSE ME OF HATE?
I have NEVER HARMED ANY HUMAN BEING, to the contrary I am a good person who respects his fellow man and helps them.
You mistake MY SADNESS AND FRUSTRATION for HATE, HATE has been DEFINED BY CHRISTIANITY, people like me have beenERSECUTED BY GOD FREAK FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
HATRED, PERSECUTION, REPRESSION, INTOLERANCE are all hallmarks of CHRISTIANITY.
I am SAD to see my own fellow human beings put a FAKE GOD AHEAD OF MANKIND, you are more interested in PRAISING AND DEVOTION TO YOU VILE, FOUL, FAKE GOD.
My granddaughter and grandson are worth more than a BILLION GODS, I KNOW this for a fact their worth is infinite, BUT YOU PUT A FAIRY TALES FAKE GOD AHEAD OF THEM.
I do HOPE YOU HAVE NO FAMILY, but if you DO have you told them that they ARE OF LESS WORTH THAN A FAKE GOD.
THAT DOES MAKE ME ANGRY, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF BUT YOU ARE TO BLIND TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
STOP LYING.
Science-is-Truth yet here you are trolling a Christian video, trying desperately to convince people of something you don’t believe in
Wasting your time yet again...why..feel free not to answer, it’s somewhat rhetorical
If you keep doing the same thing over and over again..why do keep expecting different results...sounds insane to me
You sound very angry, relax and chill on the use of capitalization, it comes off loud
McCall G. I notice that you NEVER ACTUALLY ADDRESS THE SUBJECT OF MY COMMENTS.
That is the POLICY of Christianity to demean, threaten and punish ANYONE WHO TRIES TO SPEAK THE TRUTH.
TRUTH is the poison pill of religion, therefore TRUTH is to be DESTROYED BY RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS.
That is why you STUDIOUSLY AVOID ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS OR ACKNOWLEDGING THE EGREGIOUS CRIMES OF CHRISTIANITY.

The Lord is real and very aware of each of us. I am his servant and blessed to be so. Sadly I am not a very good servant and fail at my task of obeying him more often than I wish.
I feel the same. Although I want to serve him, I do have goals, or things in life I'd like to practise, something I am often told by christians of other churches, like mormon, is that we should want to put His goals for us first(prayer, studying scripture and attending services for sacriment to renew ourselves in Christ, also to be baptised, then when going back for sacriment renews our promise to him. To live toward serving Him and put that before anything else each day.

Thanks brother. Dustin from WV
Ecclesiastes 12:7 refers to the "spirit" returning to God, who gave it... this isn't the "soul". This is the word "Ruach" which literally means breath. God gave us our breath, and He takes it back. This is our "spark" of life, and without it there is no life. This isn't our "soul". Our spirit is not our own, it is HIS, since we are made in His image, with His breath. It was never ours.
Youre probably going to find out that God, Jesus etc are nothing more than ancient aliens and all this is just an illusion created by any of the oldest & most advanced civilisations in the Universe. At latest calculations, the Universe is 16.3 billion light years old. In that time, civilisations could develop to levels of advancement we can only stare in wonderment at !. Look at the advancement of the Human race since 1900 AD.
Stephen Riley I disagree, the Bible is God’s infallible Word, I pray you are right for your soul or spirits sake because if you are wrong you have an awful lot to lose.

So true, we became a living soul when YHWH breathed life into us. When we die, we return to the ground from which we came. The word Nefesh means living soul. It's also used 4 other times referring to animals. Animals became living souls as well.
Also, if we are immortal, we wouldn't need Jesus. Only YWHW is immortal. At the resurrection we receive our immortality through our new bodies.
Elizabeth M
So happy someone else understands that. Traditions of men have ruined such simple biblical lessons. I’m a soul you’re a soul my dog is a soul the birds are souls etc etc. our spirit connects us with god.
raymond lindroth
I completely agree with you. But, why the distinction between soul death and soul sleep? They seem to be the same. The idea behind sleep has to do with us being awakened in the resurrection.. We are dead in the Hades (the grave) until the point we are awaken by the return of Yahsuah. I think you'd agree, I'm just intrested in why you are making that distinction. Blessings.
I learn so much from this channel, thank you!
Thank you so much for this Pastor-my son recently had a young friend pass away(born again) in the Marines and I was able to explain he’s not just laying cold in the ground waiting to wake up-he’s in Heaven! Thank you Jesus!!
Yeah, you can believe that lie if you want, but read (John 3: 13) first and (Psalms 146: 4) in the Bible.
@@lewislinzy3437 Good sir I will not to quarrel with you, I choose to believe Pastor Barnett’s interpretation of the Bible, Gods word.

@Messerah I used to believe the traditional viewpoint (you fly off to Heaven ALIVE when you die), but after studying the scriptures and not neglecting the OT too, I have come to change my belief to what you explained here too.
Thank you for writing out these scriptures. God bless you.
@@lewislinzy3437 John 3:13 must be read in context of what came before and what comes after those verses and with other scripture text. . Jesus was saying none of the earthly teachers can tell you about heaven because none went and came back to tell. Jesus came from heaven and He could tell us because not only was He from there, but He came to earth and told us. And then went back. Also you neglect many scriptures that say people have gone to heaven or paradise already. Mark 12:26-27, don't forget Enoch and Elijah. Also, Genesis 5:24, Hebrews 11:5, and 2 Kings 2:11. You have to read scripture in context. You cannot isolate passages from the rest of scripture.
"The twinkling of an eye" is considered the amount of time it takes for light to pass from the front of the eye to the back of the eye...thats pretty fast right.
derek melton the Twinkling of an eye is faster than the blink of the eye
I was thinking about that the other day. I’d say according to our human relativity, it means basically instantly.
Dr. John Barnett, thank you for this detailed explanation on what the bible teaches about passing. I have been bothered for many days, in agony/depression/fear etc, one might say. The thought of dying and just not thinking or being (for lack of a better term) "awake" is terrifying to me. This is, I imagine, worrisome to most people because we can't imagine not having thoughts or existing. When the bible talked of "soul sleep" and having to wait for the resurrection with Jesus it worried me to no end. I mean, that could take awhile right, in theory? The disciples hung out after Jesus ascended and had to be told to go on living, that Jesus wouldn't be back for awhile yet, they had work to do. So too, I imagine it with us. People have been looking forward to Jesus' return for thousands of years, what if its another thousand? I'm going to be essentially unconscious after I die for thousands of years? How dreadful. But your words and explanations for the first time give me some hope. I want and long to be with God, my family members who have passed, etc. It just seemed like the verses about "soul sleep" and having to wait, and the one about being "absent" and "present with the Lord" didn't mesh. I was very confused. Literally have lost sleep for many days over it, so maybe now I can begin to unwind and get some rest. God bless you and your ministry, truly doing the work of the Lord of hosts.
live each day like it's the last,and one day you'll be right!

Purgatory , A catholic friend told me this , however I can't find it in the bible. There is no such place.
Made up by the Roman Vatican. It seems they wrote their own Bible for their own agenda.
you shall be saved but only through fire
Thankfully, through "praying for wisdom" and "seeking truth in all things" I began to see how certain teachings within the Catholic church were a bit out of step with the Bible... "purgatory" and the modernized use of "holy-water" just to name a few.
On a side note, regarding the use/uses of water in the Bible... it appears the rinsing or washing of one's hands and feet (with pure/clean water) became an ever-increasing hygiene practice/ritual, especially right before entering sacred places or events. However, the Bible never implies water itself has any kind of supernatural or magical power... aside from Jesus' (or God's) direct spiritual influence or control... "water is water"... nothing more and nothing less. That said, if anyone has anything to add, I would be very interested to hear what others have found in their research on the topic... peace!
@James Brice i dont claim to earn salvation. However A lifetime of struggle cannot be for nothing
@James Brice It means that a lifetime of service in the Vinyard has to mean something. Salvation is open till the last second but the parable of the talents shows the reward for enduring with patience for a lifetime
Interesting question. In 2010 during my 17th brain surgery for hydrocephalus, my brain was torn as they removed my broken shunt. While under anesthesia in recovery, angel appeared to me. It was a very peaceful experience and i knew it was the Lord God's presence with me. He said to me with empathy "I know you've been through a lot throughout life, are you ready to go? It was such a beautiful experience and t knew i would be in heaven since i asked the Lord into my heart at age 19, so i said "yes"; Then
I thought about my wife and kids and and told him that i couldn't bcz they needed me. He told me that life would be tough for a while and asked "are you sure?" i confirmed.
After that, i woke up in recovery to find out from my nurse that my heart rate had dropped down to 33bpm and she said if it got any lower, they were going to place the jumper cables on me.
He showed me that he really respects our decisions and cares for us. Sorry for the length of this post

Best explanation I have ever heard and scripture backs it up.
Why would we go to heaven or hell the moment we die before judgement takes place? Why would be rewarded or punished before we are judged or sentenced? That has always rolled around in my head. Good on this young girl having such a great question!
because your influence lives on so the effects of your life are not necessarily over at your death, besides God has decided to do the Great White Throne Judgment at the end of time...Much more can be said
Two guitar pixie the reason we would go to heaven or hell / the pit after we die before judgment is because God already knows the end from the beginning he knows who are his and he knows who belongs to Satan he watched your life as you lived it now that your life has been completed at death he's already pronounced judgment you just don't know the outcome yet those who go to heaven will be judged for the righteous acts not for their sins because they are forgiven at the cross those who do not accept the sacrifice of Jesus at The Cross and die in their sins they will be judged at the great white throne judgment when they die and before this great white throne judgment they are sent to Hades to wait like a person who has committed a crime but has no family or friends to bail them out of jail must sit in jail until they're called out to go to court for their trial in the same essence when they are people called out of Hades for the great right thrown judgment they're basically leaving the county jail where there been held without bail and now they'll be going to the great white throne judgment and found guilty and cast into the lake of fire which is prison in a sense but eternal and very horrible and wretched and burning forever and ever

To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord
Nonsense!
The dead are in their graves and all their thoughts perish so how can they know anything?
Barnett is preaching Babylonian lies.
@@rosewhite--- when you go to sleep how much time are you aware of before you awaken? So if you die and your body is in the grave for 500 years will you be aware of it?
@@brucewmclaughlin9072 At death all thoughts perish.
Maybe you need to ask someone to explain that to you?
Also of course Jesus did say that no one had gone to heaven except himself. But perhaps you think lots of dead people did?
@@rosewhite--- Yes at death all thoughts perish and when you sleep all thoughts are not recorded unless you are dreaming, so you have no time reference to when you drop off and when you wake up!. When you die the scriptures indicate that you are absent from the body ( death of flesh including thoughts) and present with the Lord , no time reference given.
Perhaps watch the video again as you missed something about up and down as destinations of the dead.

That cleared up a whole lot! Especially at the end and explaining Samuel, then Moses and Elijah appearing with Jesus on the mount
It was a vision
Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Thank You this has been on my mind for a long time and God gave you the answer to tell me. I always wonder when we die do we sleep in the grave until the day of the Lord or does our physical bodies sleep in the grave. Thank You Jesus for giving me this answer.
I really appreciate this through, elaborate answer. Praise to the Father for the wisdom of His Word!
Religion says do... Jesus said it is finished.
Lets go with Jesus on this.
Jesus also said "Do!" Jesus said His work is finished, that doesn't mean that our work is finished, in fact there are more than a dozen passages that say we will be judged and rewarded according to what we "do". (Romans 2:6, 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 4:5, 1 Peter 1:17, Revelation 20:12, Psalms 62:12, Proverbs 24:12, Colossians 3:25, Proverbs 11:31, 1 Corinthians 3:8, etc.).
We cannot discount our actions when it comes to our own inheritance and reward or lack thereof, in Heaven.
@@scottb4509 // look. I'm a preachers daughter and know what the Bible says, but the Bible has been changed by man over and over purposely for power and control.

@@scottb4509 // do = LOVE..
@@Donna-vh5ym so if do= Love are you saying that only religion tells us to love? and Jesus says that we don't need to love because His love is finished? I'm confused as to why you would say that religion says "do", an then said that "do" = Love???
Because Christ also said that if you love me Keep my commandment" (i.e. DO) (John 14:15). Jesus also laid out some pretty straight forward commandments and things that we must "DO" in order to enter into His kingdom (Matthew 19:17). Baptism being one of them (John 3:5). etc.
I guess I may not be fully understanding what you are asking?! For all those that are taken from this earth before their time, as we might presume, are in fact still judged according to that which they did in the flesh. so those young people are still judged the same as the rest of us, because God is no respecter of persons. God does not give different standards to one than to another. and that standard is that we are all judged according to what we know. therefore, for those who know less they are judged less harshly, and those that are preachers and claim to know lots are judged more harshly as to whether they followed what they knew or not.
However I think you are conflating two different aspects of the gospel. one is the basis for our salvation, and the other is the reward and inheritance that we will receive once we are saved. Almost all will be saved or gain some form of inheritance in Heaven through the merits and grace of Christ who atones for and redeems us. However, just as 1 Corinthians 15:40-41 states, all those that enter into one of those three distinct brackets of Heaven will receive different levels of inheritance and reward according to what we do in the flesh and that is where our deeds come into play. our deeds determine the level of reward and glory we will receive once we get to Heaven, not that our deeds will either win us or lose us a spot in Heaven in the first place. for salvation is a free gift from God, that not of ourselves lest any man should boast.
if I misunderstood what you meant please feel free to explain further so that we can be on the same page.

Soul and Spirit are not the same thing
This guy makes me nervous, he's too back and forth.
That's what I believe. The spirit dwells within the soul.
@@davidneal9368 the soul is our body which enables our living on this planet; not only that; it's our identifiable entity.
@Jason Golden got that right!
This was my thought exactly. the 'spirit' was placed into Adam's 'body' and they together became a living "soul". (Gen. 2:7) therefore, the spirit cannot be synonymous with the soul, if the soul involves the body also.
My biggest fear is that when we die we will lose complete memory of our life, or even worse that we feel nothing and don't think anything- that we are in eternal nothingness. I hope that when I die, the Lord will take me with him and protect my soul. Amen! 🙏🏼

No. We don't. You are in grave until Jesus returns. NOT in some false secret rapture. But whencHe actually comes back on the last trump. Then we get to be on the new earth never having set foot in heaven. (After judgement is)

DTMB OnlineVideoTraining Does Calvary Baptist Church have a livestream? I'm agoraphobia and schizophrenic, rarely leave the house. Hope to soon, but this Word is too good to miss.
Let go of your fears and trust in God himself. You need not fear death if you love God and are baptized.
The answer to the question is given clearly in the Bible:
Genesis 3:19
"In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."
Where do we immediately go after we die? In the ground, and we become what Adam was before he was formed: dirt.
Genesis 2:7
''And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.''
1) God made the body ... Where was Adam's soul until this point? Waiting on God's USB flash memory ???? Non existent , the body was not yet alive.
2) God breathed breath of life into Adam ... Did any soul came to enter Adam , to posses his body or whatever??? No ...WHY?!?!
3) ..and man BECAME a LIVING SOUL
Body + breath of life = LIVING SOUL.
We don't have souls....
We ARE LIVING SOULS
We HAVE BODIES.
When body is destroyed or breath of life taken = Dead soul, the same state in which Adam was before he received breath of life.
spirit or breath of life + all our essence aka consciousness and everything that makes us who we are is put on hold at the moment of death . Jesus clearly said death is just like sleep . You could sleep for just 1 minute or 10 years ... You would experience nothing between going to sleep and waking up,no matter how long you've been dead. instant sense of awakening no matter how much time you sleep .You perceive no flow of time ,nothing , period.
The moment you fall asleep you are put on hold , you experience instant transition to waking up .
how hard can it be to read the Bible and take it as it is except where it specifically says there is a methapor or parable???
That was during hte ot times, the new times God gave us a far better place after we die. With him, not waiting for him but with him, the next step is to receive our new physical bodies that are glorified and perfect like Gods is.
You are deceived overrider. Plenty of proof that we continue to have consciousness after we die, there are scenes in Heaven where people that were killed spoke too the lord.
In the twinkling of an eye.

Outstanding Brother ! ! !
wow you are making this so entangled the answer is we return to the dust and God Spirit returns to Him
this guy always overstates everything so that in the end you don't have a clue as to what he actually said in the first place, lol
Not exactly but if that makes it easier for you to comprehend then okay. Most people don't understand.
The body returns to the dust. But the soul ...the essence of who you are, is either sent to prison or if you will Hades, or to be with the Lord...heaven.
Everyone that is not innocent is sent to prison and those that are declared righteous go to wait for the resurrection.
If your born again you're declared innocent or if you're not at the age of accountability...you'd be declared innocent.
Anyone outside of these two states of existence are held in in prison.
@@wavular Actually he was very thorough, and everything he said was very clear.
@@evkat6343 ok then...
Please refer to Ecclesiastes 3:20, Both go to the same place they came from dust, and they return to dust. Ecclesiastes 12:7, For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.
He is right! it all is in the Bible it’s biblical Christ come to save us believe in him and accept him as lord and savior and you will never die! Go read your Bible it’s in there people perish becoz of lack of knowledge
One will never die, therefore it can be called sleep.
No where does the bible teach soul sleep. The believer is with the Lord. Scripture tells us to be absent from the body is to present with the Lord.
Woe to the idol [good for nothing] shepherd that leaveth [apostatise] the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm [help] shall be clean dried up, and *his right eye shall be utterly darkened*
{Zechariah 12:17}
Wondering about the part where u are saying JESUS took the thief with him to paridise that day ?? What about When Jesus rose from dead and not to touch him because he hadnt gone to the father yet ??.. so if he hadnt gone to father yet how did he bring thief to there??
Alisa Lauzon I have heard it explained that it wasn't that literal day, but the Day we are all resurrected! No one man has ascended to The Father! Only His Son! So on that day when He comes into His Kingdom that is the day that the thief would be with him. It says that the living do not go before the ones in the grave.....so the thief going would contradict this....what made the thief to go before ALL the others?? Doesn't make sense!
Stephenie Hamilton yes thats how i believe. I gusse there was cotroversy ,one coma changed whole meaning !! Thank you for sharing. That verse also !!!!
Stephenie Hamilton yes, my Bible is across town. So cant look up .
The New Testament was written in Greek. Greek used no punctuation and didn't even have spaces between words.There was no comma in the original Greek text. That was added later and is misplaced. If the comma is placed after the word "today" the meaning is changed. Then it says "I'm telling you now, this day, that you will >eventually< be with me in paradise. Here Jesus is referring to the new earth after it is remade by God the father to be as it was originally following the creation.
@@fromanabe8639 i agree with you 100%.paradise is name of the new earth .also the story of lazrus and rich man was parable not real story .our soul is not immortal

You’re “happy place” and the Catholic “limbo” are the exact same concept. A waiting room for heaven, as you put it.
Thanks so much for this awesome message God Bless
Absence from the body is to be presence with the lord
Correct, there is no such thing as soul sleep and never let someone convince you otherwise. Not that it would matter a whole lot in the long run but thats just their way of depriving the good from your death. You will have rest with God in Heaven even after your death, so you dont truly die, just the shell.
However as we know Angels are spirits and they have form, they appear human but they glow with a fire a light. I believe we will be similar in form temporarily. We will be clothes with God.
Context Jamie! Paul was talking about being ready to end his suffering. He knew that there was a selfish benefit in dying, but he knew that it was better to hold off on entering his rest (sleep many other places).
Jamie Wellman -- True but the details are not in that verse are they? I can throw out verses all day. I'd rather drop my pride and LEARN the TRUTH instead of repeating a verse thinking I know ALL.
@@darthbane2669 angels can appear as human, trust me they are nothing like a human.
@@darthbane2669 Jesus said of Lazarus that he was "sleeping". Also, the witch was able to summon Samuel from his sleep in the grave. That story is in the bible. Our body is in the grave. Part of us is also in there asleep to the physical world until the resurection and judgement day. Yet, we are also consciously aware at the same time with God in either Paradise or Hades until the judgement seat judgements and the white throne judgements. Make sense?
7:15 today I tell you ..can mean two things..
1.. that I tell you today (on this day I tell you that at some point you will be with me in paradise)
2.. that I tell you today (on this same day you will be with me in paradise)

All I know is the bible says to be absent from the body is to be PRESENT WITH THE LORD...ON THE CROSS WHAT DID CHRIST SAY TO THE THEIF ON THE CROSS? CASE CLOSED
+rierie c. -- Case closed? Says who? A teaching straight from the Scriptures is lies? Pay attention to Dr. Barnett's teaching and learn something, then check it in the Scriptures.. It isn't up to YOU to say "case closed".. God's word is TRUTH.. and EVERYTHING here is taken from God's word. Using Scripture out of context does not make your case.
@@TheMistysFavs Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus
Remember the story Jesus gave about the rich man and Lazarus..
@@cuttybatson4292 That is the most misunderstood parable. The bible is clear, that no one is in Hell or Heaven yet until the judgement seat judgements and white throne judgement. Our physical body is in the grave. Our soul is asleep until the resurection and judgements. At the same time, we are consciously aware with God in Paradise. The unsaved are consciously aware in Hades.
Lorie Goetz no it isn’t
Good for her I love to see a young person or old to have a large bible God bless young lady never stop believing ever.
What if Jesus said “I tell you today, you shall be with me in Paradise”. Meaning that he will end up being with him in Paradise, just not necessarily “today”. That’s what I always thought it meant.????? Am I wrong?🙏tell.❤️😎
Joy Rowe, i would say in this case you are. For they were both dying on the same day and Christ saved him with His Word of Decree!
Pastor John says we are immortal beings 17 minutes into this video. What verse would support that idea? 1Tim 6:16 would appear to disagree with him. Jesus gives us the gift of immortal life.
To be absent from the body is to br present with the Lord !
Exactly soul sleep is a lie. I believe they are none believers and are satans children, for they often are very hostile and hateful towards those that dont accept their version.
@@darthbane2669 yet you call other humans "satans children" that is not the way of our Lord. Love others as yourself, dont compare people to satan...you are no more worthy of salvation than anybody. If God spared you he can do the same for anyone who says sorry and receives him. Humans deserve your love and respect no matter how they act. We are all guilty before God without what Jesus has done. You did not earn salvation, remember that.
@@urielmesenja1040 call it as you see it. Which Jesus do you believe in? I believe in one of Love but Truth. False doctrine is not Truth. Real Christians do not tolerate fallacy in the face of truth. Jesus did not either. He rebuked many. He even told Peter, "Get behind me Satan."
@@darthbane2669 Our physical body is in the grave. Our soul is asleep. Yet at the same time, we are consciously aware with God in Paradise for the saved. The unsaved are in Hades. No one goes to Heaven or Hell until the judgement seat judgements and white throne judgements. Jesus clearly said that Lazarus was sleeping. He was also conscious with God. Jesus brought him back.
I learned a whole lot from this. Guy there's a lot that I don't know but I know one thing I love God don't live for him but I love him God bless everybody
I have a question: " What if the person is cremated - how will they be resurrected with no body???
If they die in Christ they will receive new bodies
I imagine someone trying to pick up all the ashes and dust that was their body in the resurrection, and in rebuilding their body be missing parts like an ear or toe or something haha. I can't imagine that this is how it really will be, but we do know that the graves will give up their bodies, and the sea also, so there may be some merit to the idea that the body we once had becoming perfected and raising at the resurrection.
Matter cannot be destroyed, just changes it's state. Like when they say we are using up our water, not possible, just transferred.
Thank you for another wonderful sermon may God bless you don't keep his word in the hearts of the Saints
Impressive question from this young lady!!
What about Ecl:9-5. The dead have no knowledge?
I read this chapter over several times and came to that conclusion. Thanks for the reply. God Bless
Good lesson for the most part. There is no such thing as Soul Sleep.
First of all the main scriptures that are used to try and support soul sleep is from Ecclesiastes that say "the dead know nothing", such an interpretation of this statement ignores the truth that the foundation of the book of Ecclesiastes , that is repeated over and over again is "under the sun". So, it means that the dead knows nothing "under the sun" or what is happening on planet earth. However, people who have died are very much awake and aware of their location and existence.
In Revelation chapter 6 when the 5th Seal is pulled, John saw souls under the altar who spoke, conversed, listened and were very aware of their location and where they came from.
In Philippians 1:21-26 Paul speaks of being undecided about going to be with the Lord or staying with the saints on earth to further work in the kingdom. Now, he said he would much rather depart and be with the Lord, which is far better, but to continue laboring with the saints would be more needful or beneficial.
Now, if there was "soul sleep", there wouldn't be a point of Paul being undecided. If he would die and go into a "soul sleep", then obviously he should stay here as long as possible and work, because his hope of going to be with the Lord immediately if he died is unfounded. He wouldn't be with the Lord until the Ressurrection many, many years later.
God Bless,
Pastor K. L. Greene
Kelvin Greene which part of 2 timothy that Paul says that?
Hi@@JenniferTrika
It's in the Philippians 1:21-26 part of 2 Timothy.
😇 My mistake, it's not in 2 Timothy.
God Bless
Kelvin Greene Thank you so much! I have sought for a sobering answer to “the dead know nothing” and the book of revelation’s souls crying out. The two did not make sense. Also Paul wanting to go to the Lord but staying to do works. My first influence on this matter was by Jehovah’s Witnesses years ago. I held onto “the dead know nothing” because no one had a sufficient answer. If you read through the many comments, JW or not, many people agree that the soul is what we became via the breath of life aka spirit of God. I agree with this, but I have a hard time accepting some of the doctrines presented by general Christianity and find myself falling towards more legalistic theology because of my JW background. I want to accept grace, but also understand faith without works is dead, as the body without life is dead. If it is okay with you, I’d like to have correspondence with you for some questions I have? I do not know how to turn a public forum on RUclips into a private message though. At the same time, keeping it right here may bring positive influence to people! Your comment about Ecclesiastes theme of everything under the sun finally made the point clear; the dead know nothing under the sun!!! Thanks again brother!
Hello@@JeremyThielman
You are welcome and all glory to God Almighty.
I would be glad and honored to discuss the Holy Scriptures with you here and answer any questions if I can.
@@TheTruthAndTheCross Thank you! Most recently I have been wanting to look at the parables in the gospels. Luke 5:33-39. The common takes are the new wine is new spiritual law/new covenant. The Hebrew roots and those strong on pushing Torah disagree and propose the context of that parable is the oral law and traditions of men are the new wine, bitter and bland. This verse 39 where Jesus says men will not want new wine after tasting the old, because the old is better. So the old is the law in that perspective. I'd like to think the new is better but verse 39 doesn't make sense in that perspective to me. Thanks again for your willingness to write me back!
Just some of the scriptures (and not in order) cited in this video are:
Hebrews 11.40 & Ezekiel 32.18-32 & 2 Corinthians 5.1-10 & 1 Corinthians 15.50-55 & 1 Thessalonians 4.13-16 & John 5.28 & Luke 16.19-31 & Luke 23.43 & Ephesians 4
Nobody knows until u experience it first hand
John3[13] And no man hath ascended up (anabaino) to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
anabaino; to go up (literally or figuratively): - arise, ascend (up), climb (go, grow, rise, spring) up, come (up).
So - according to God's Word, no mortal human being has gone up to heaven. None. Not one. That is because they will not be raised from the dead until the last day at the end of the world, in the 2nd resurrection. The 1st resurrection will be for only 144,000 slain saints who will rule with Christ for 1,000 yrs. All other people will remain sleeping in the grave until the last day at the end of the world.
Psalms24[3] Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? Christ only has ascended into heaven to see and be with God: Proverbs30[4] Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?[5] Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.[6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
The Bible teaches that all people throughout history and until the day of resurrection sleep in the grave when they die, waiting to be raised from their sleep of physical death until after Christ's return. Job spoke of his own resurrection to come:
Job14[12] So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.[13] O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! [14] If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. [15] Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
In the grave, all memory of this world is lost forever. God does not want the saved to bring their emotional baggage of their past sinful lives into the new earth to live with him:
Ecclesiastes[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. All of the Old Testament Patriarchs are now sleeping in the grave, waiting to be resurrected on the last day:
2Pet.3[4] And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
All of the kings of Israel are stated to have fallen asleep in the grave:
1Kgs2:10, 1Kgs11:21-43, 1Kgs14:20-31, 1Kgs15:8-24, 1Kgs16:6-2828, 1Kgs22:40-50, 2Kgs8:2424, 2Kgs10:35, 2Kgs13:9-13, 2Kgs14:16, 2Kgs15:7-38, 2Kgs16:20, 2Kgs20:21, 2Kgs21:18, 2Kgs24:6, 2Chr9:31, 2Chr12:16, 2Chr14:1, 2Chr16:13, 2Chr21:1, 2Chr26:2-23, 2Chr27:9, 2Chr28:27, 2Chr32:33, 2Chr33:20.
King David spoke of his own resurrection to come:
Psalms 17[15] As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
The Apostle Paul confirmed the fact that King David now sleeps until the day of resurrection:
Acts13[36] For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption.
Jesus Christ stated the dead will not be raised until the last day, not one day before, not one after:
John5[25] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.[26] For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;[27] And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.[28] 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. John6[39] And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.[40] And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.[44] No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.[54] Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
1Thesselonians4[13] But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.[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.
1Cor6[14] And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
2Cor4[14] Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
1Thessalonians4[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
Ephesians5[14] Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Daniel12[2] And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
1Cor6[14] And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
Scripture states that if you do not believe in the resurrection, which Christ stated repeatedly will be on the last day, then your faith is in vain because it is based upon the fact that Christ was raised from the dead as we shall be on the last day:
1Cor15 [12] Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? [13] But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: [14] And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
Jesus Christ told us that the dead will not be raised from their sleep until the end of the world, then separated unto the kingdom of God or lake of fire:
Matthew13 [31] Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: [32] Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. [33] Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. [34] All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: [35] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. [36] Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. [37] He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; [38] The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; [39] The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. [40] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. [41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; [42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. [43] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.

Ecclesiastes 9:
4For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5For 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. 6Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
7Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 8Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment. 9Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.
10Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Is this about body, soul or spirit?
@@danieljust295
There is no separating body and spirit....it’s your spirit that says “I” AND CONTROLS YOUR BODY. It’s your MEMORY, if you hated, loved its all over. Those are the things your spirit told your body what to do...the two are inseparable if your MEMORY which is spirit is forgotten...you can’t remember nothing cause “you’re” which consist of body and soul is dead....and the next passage Eccl 9 tells us to...
7Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 8Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment. 9Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.

@@jaxstudios7670
Are you saying that after death there is nothing else? As in we cease to exist on that day and perish ?
If that’s what you are saying, then how do you explain the 2nd coming of Christ !? How do you explain Jesus saying that he’s going to prepare a place for us? Why would we need to repent and seek the Lord if we simply pass away and cease to exist? How do we explain when Jesus was resurrected and he was able to eat and have a physical body ? If there’s no consequences of our lives here on earth , then everyone should start living according to their flesh , right?
@@PettyIsMyMiddleName ...no...Im not saying any of what I QUOTED....the Prophet who wrote the book of Ecclesiastes is saying it. I didn't put MY thoughts anywhere in my post....

And men will decide for themselves which road they walk upon...
Read the book in its context...Grapple with God if you don't agree with it....and if your mind automatically deciphers doing whatever you do with your might a ticket to sin well I can't help how your mind is working...but no I dont see it that way....

Scripture says this about the man and the soul....
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
The opposite of living soul would be dead soul...no BREATH therein...because thats how life began...with a BREATH...
When we die we go into the ground and WAIT...asleep...dead to the world..unconscious...till that BREATH resurrects us at the 2nd coming of Christ.
So... What was your answer to the question???
Where do we go immediately after death???
Do we go to a "happy place" or what?
Where where where do we go ???
Do you have any supporting scripture to help with your answers?

Exactly you are blameless.
You are wrong. scripture says judgment begins at the house of God and if the righteous be scarcely saved where do the sinner and the ungodly appear? Jesus says we shall be judged by every idle word we speak.

DUST SHALL RETURN TO EARTH AND SPIRIT SHALL RETURN TO GOD WHO GAVE IT ….;:#%
It dose say were our souls and bodies go but what about people who Choose Cremations and how dose the body sleep then. ?
When when I die as long as I don't feel it I'm ok with it.
I had the same thought about cremation, and then I thought of all the buried bodies that must have turned to dust by now.... So I'm thinking when the call happens and the day arrives, the dust will be gathered from wherever it may be and God will do what he does best and perform miracles and make them bodies again.
When a person dies whether a believer or an unbeliever, they go to the grave (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10). The Bible says they are asleep awaiting the resurrection to eternal life or damnation(Daniel 12:2; John 5:28-29), not to some happy side. That isn't biblical; that's a false teaching. All who ever lived on earth and have died are in the grave asleep. No one is in heaven except the one (Jesus) who came down from heaven (John 3:13). In the Bible, Hell is a word used in reference to the grave(1 Corinthians 15:55) just like the words Sheol (Hebrew)and Hades (Greek) and the word Pit. Not some under the earth place burning with fire and a devil in a red suit with a pitch fork. The Bible says that your adversary the devil, walketh about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour(1Peter 5:8).
There are so many (too many) man-made traditions and translations of what a person thinks the Bible is saying, but if you do what 2 Timothy 2:15 says "Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" and allow the Holy Spirit to guide and teach you (John 16:13; John 14:26), then you'll be able to discern(Malachi 3:18)between truth and error and not get caught up in every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14).
ahh a Berean
The lake of fire = the damned will be burned to death, the devil will be burned to death, the demons will be burned to death. THE END
Gee Gee you have got to be the biggest idiot on the planet. You have absolutely no understanding of the Word of God. That most likely means you are hopelessly lost. You are also playing the part of a false prophet so there’s going to be a special place in the lake of fire for you. 🔥🔥🔥
@@DarkQuiet
What's with the name calling? What are you, 12? I'm far from being anyone's idiot, but on the other hand, if you look in the mirror you might just see that idiot you're talking about.
Just because you obviously have no clue nor understanding of the word of God concerning this subject, shows in your ignorant comment.
This is how a person reacts when they reject truth. It's Obvious you're still bound because according to the Word of God, the Truth sets people free.
Now, I won't go back and forth with you on this subject. May I suggest you do what 2 Timothy 2:15 says and study to show yourself approved unto God.............
I agree with what you say, we must read the bible ourselves and pray for revelation. I just want to ask what do you interpret as "bosom of abraham" ?
If you really want to know exactly what happens when you pass you have to look in to the book of ezra, it's in the book they took out of the Canaan.
When Jesus rose why did they see the those in the city in bodily form that were not soul sleeping?
If I wait, the grave is my house. Says Job. When we die, we go nowhere but the grave.
We sleep until the heavens are no more. It is only at the second coming of Christ when we will be rewarded with eternal life or eternal death.
So dismiss ALL the accounts of those claiming to have died and went to heaven or Hell.
The word of God should be our only guide, not the testimonies of others.
The Bible says "If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
It doesn't matter how genuine a person's testimony of their NDE was.

It is common knowledge to all, that when a person dies, the first sign is that his breath is gone. His breath/spirit that God breathd to his nostrils when He formed man, is the same that return to God who gave it.
Beautifully said!
The bible absolutely DOES teach that the dead rest in the grave until the second coming. There are DOZENS of verses that say the same thing. 1. A soul is made up of two parts: a body and the breath of life. Without one of the parts you no longer have a soul. The unconscious essence or breath goes back to God. Luke 16 is absolutely a parable and NOT meant to be taken literally. It is meant symbolically to teach a concept or theme. In Luke 23, there is a punctuation error in the translation. Jesus is saying "I assure you today, you will be with me in paradise (someday). He is not saying today you will be with me. Proof: Jesus did not ascend to Heaven for 40 days after that. The thieves were taken down and had their legs broken so they couldn’t get away days or weeks later according to Roman records.
2. Sheol is translated in English as "the grave", it does not mean a place of eternal torment. The dead know nothing. The dead sleep in "the grave" until the resurrection. Hades is a fictitious place in Greek Mythology where the dead go (could be interpreted grave as well).
3. We are a MORTAL soul and we don't put on immortality until the second coming. Therefore, there is No WAY we can be in Heaven or Hell until after we receive our reward of immortality.
4. The judgement hasn't happened yet. How can anyone be in Heaven or Hell yet if we haven't been judged yet?
@@gfelder63 There weren't any screams in the core of the Earth. The core of the Earth is molten fire. No one could exist at that depth.
@@gfelder63 how much crack did you smoke today sir?
@@gfelder63 because i heard that the people that were digging to find the screaming people were smoking the same kind of crack..lol
Some one needs to tell Moses he wasn't support to be seen, and he should still be in his grave,not on the mountain with Jesus.
And when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had upheld. And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood?” Then each of them was given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they had been killed.… Luke 9:28-36
That's right
What would you say to someone who thinks that Jesus meant “I tell you today” as in “Today is the day I’m telling you something… you’ll be with me in paradise much later.” How do we know today referred to the resurrection and not the statement?
This needs to be looked at from two perspectives, from those who are still alive and from those who have died.
1 from the dead perspective, time is no longer applied to them. According to the Bible, when someone passes they go to sleep until they are woken to either of the two resurrections in revelation 20. That sleep is the same as if we were asleep today. We are aware of nothing until we wake up. When a person who was asleep wakes up they are not aware any time has passed until they look around. Same with a person who has died. When a person dies their next conscious thought will be either of the two resurrections. So to the dead person it will seem like only a split second has passed no matter how much time has actually passed since they died.
2 to those of us still alive, however, we are still affected by time. We are living out our lives. To us, the dead are still asleep waiting for one of the two resurrections, even if it has been years and years.
So to answer the question , what happens the instant you die? Simple. You will be immediately woken up to either of the two resurrections in revelation 20.
What can I only like this once!
also the dead know nothing..they are unaware of time so it will seem like a blinking of an eye from death to judgment when they all will bow before Him.
Mike N. That phrase was “Under the sun.” If you go back before that phrase, “Under the sun ,” is stated. That’s their way of life on earth.
Agree with Junior... they know nothing under the sun. meaning that they no longer have an ability to see the things transpiring on this world. If his kids honor him he does not know, if his son gets a promotion he does not know. they don't take worldly things with them, and have no way to influence or control things of this world when they are out of this world.
This doesn't mean that they are not aware of the things of that spirit realm that they now are in. Luke 16 and 1 Peter 3:19; 4:6 show that there is consciousness, communication, and learning in that spirit realm.
Thank you so much that was so great.
Everyone will find out soon enough. LOL
YOU SHOULD BE A SHAME OF YOURSELF THAT IS NOT FUNNY Just Kidding it is funny
