    You who believe that the Bible teaches of an immortal soul, would you be so kind to post something on this issue?

    As opposed to what, the "no soul" teaching of the JW's? Wanna see an immortal soul, see Samuel's spirit pulled from the netherworld, see Moses and Elijah on Mt Tabor with Christ, see that God is a God of the living, not of the dead.

    Yerusalyim,

    'As opposed to what, the "no soul" teaching of the JW's? Wanna see an immortal soul, see Samuel's spirit pulled from the netherworld, see Moses and Elijah on Mt Tabor with Christ, see that God is a God of the living, not of the dead.'

    1. Samuel's spirit???!! Are you talking about the which of Endor? I puzzled that anyone could posible believe that was not a demon. Samuel was sleeping in Sheol. If we assume the soul is immortal which it isn't, Would Samuel (in netherworld paradise I assume, Jewish myth doctrine) go against the Lords wishes? How come Moses was told to kill sorcerers?

    2. Moses and Elijah, did they talk to the disciples? No, it was a vision to strengeth the disciples and a way of Jesus to show his power and his approval by God.

    3. God is not the God of the living, but of the death because they are all alive to him. Know Psalms 6:5? David must have been misinformed. The resurrection promised by the prophets that David talked of too, would be pointless. No this mean that God remembers all in Sheol, one day he will resurrect them, bring them up from Sheol.

    How do Jews deal with the fact that 'nephesh' means creation? That animals are spoken of as 'nephesh' in the OT too?

    God Bless

    just wondering what you think of rev 6:9,10

    Cyllon,

    These souls in Rev 6:9-11 are saints that are to receive angelic nature and they are told to wait until God decides to interfere on earth. Could this is just symbolising they dead people put on hold. Surely the OT nor the NT teaches of souls living on after death.

    God Bless
