The First Born of Egypt and The Egyptian Army. There were others. This is what comes to mind. My point was that they are all still alive and awaiting judgement. We all die physically, but our God given spirit lives on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuchulain Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 It's hard for me to see how someone takes the bible literally when they keep interjecting all the allegory they believe in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the first born of Egypt and the Pharaoh's army still spiritually exist.. No spiritual being has been killed, only the flesh bodies that we temporarily possess. Yes, God ends life in the flesh, but our spiritual souls live on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuchulain Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 So then is it possible to find redemption AFTER physical life has ended? If so, then the deathbed confession thing is kind of not necessary. If not...then isn't it already decided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, the Bible can be split into two piles -- both hot and steamy. One pile for each face. that the Fundamentalist argues with. I think I'm losing my knack for diplomacy.
