When Someone Dies Where do They Go? Second Series

Body-sleep not soul-sleep 

1 Thessalonians 4:14^--"For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."

Sleep means death of the body (1 Thessalonians 4:14-16; 5:10; Deuteronomy 31:16; 2 Samuel 7:12; 1 Kings 1:21; Job 7:21; Pslams 13:3; Daniel 12:2; Mark 5:39; Luke 8:52; John 11:11-14; Acts 13:36; 1 Corinthians 11:30; 15:51; James 2:26). These are all the passages where the word sleep is found in connection with death. The word slept is used in Matthew 27:52; 1 Corinthians 15:20 of death and the phrase slept with his fathers is used 36 times of death in the Old Testament.

Not one time is it stated that the soul sleeps. The soul is immortal (1 Peter 3:4). The term sleep in Jesus simply refers to those who were in Christ at their death (v14, 16)

A Message to the Atheist

When Someone Dies Where Do They Go? First Series

1 Thessalonians 4:13-15^--"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.
¹⁴  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 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"

First of all the Apostle Paul speaks to the church telling them not to be ignorant. Here are six things that we as Christians shouldn't be ignorant of. Your homework is to look up the scripture text as I provide it.

6 Things not to be igorant of:
1. God's faithfulness in trouble (2 Corinthians 8-10)
2. Gospel responsibility (Romans 1:11-18)
3. Spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12)
4. God's purpose for Israel (Romans 11:25-32)
5. The resurrection  and future life (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
6. God's judgment of backsliders (1 Corinthians 10:1-13)

Next verse 12 speaks of those who are asleep:
4Th New Testament prophecy in 1 Thessalonians (4:13-5:10, unfulfilled). Next 1 Thessalonians 5:23. 

6 New Revelation (4:12):
1. All who die in Jesus will be brought back from heaven to be given resurrected bodies (v14; John 5:28-29; 1 Corinthians 15:20-23, 35-58; Philippians 3:21)
2. The living in Christ at this time will not die but be changed (v 15-17; 1 Corinthians 15;51-58;
2 Corinthians 5:1:10; Philippians 3:21)
3. This is the coming of the Lord in the air, not His coming to the earth (v15-17; 2 Thessalonians 2:7, Revalations 4:1)
4. The Lord Himself, not some other one, shall descend from heaven to translate the saints (v16; John 14:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:23, 51:58; Philippians 3:21)
5. The dead in Christ shall rise first before the living are changed (v16; 1 Corinthians 15:23, 51-58; Philippians 3:21; John 5:28-29)
6. The church and all in Christ from Abel to this time will be changed from immortality in body in a moment and will be caught up (raptured) with the dead in Christ to meet the Lord in the air (v17; John 14:1-3; Luke 21:36; 1 corinthians 15:23, 51-58; Philippians 3:21; 2 Corinthians 5:1-10; Colossians 3:4; 2 Thessalonians 2:7; Ephesians 5:27)



 

San Francisco Walk of Life 2020

Today in San Francisco from what was said 70,000 people attended the Walk for Life Rally. Our main mission is to get people to understand that killing babies is wrong and we need to stop abortions from what happening. How can you help? By voting ProLife and to fund clinics that support ProLife. God created everyone with a purpose, a baby shouldn’t lose its purpose because someone’s fault. 

Jeremiah 1:5–“ Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.“

March of Life in San Francisco California Saturday January 25TH 2020

Exodus 20:13^--"Thou shalt not kill."

The Walk for Life West Coast is an annual pro-life event protesting abortion, held in San Francisco, California. It is held on a Saturday on or near January 22, the anniversary date of the decision in the United States Supreme Court case, Roe v. Wade.

The first Walk for Life was held on January 22, 2005. Several thousand protesters (7,000, according to organizers) gathered downtown in Justin Herman Plaza and marched 2.5 miles to the Marina Green via the waterfront.

Organizers claimed 15,000 demonstrators in 2006 and 20,000 in 2007. In 2008, the San Francisco Chronicle estimated at least 10,000 people were bussed in from all over the state and beyond. On Saturday, January 24, 2009, organizers claimed "tens of thousands" of marchers. On Saturday, January 22, 2011, more than 40,000 people gathered for the seventh annual Walk, in downtown San Francisco.

Supporters of legal abortion have staged yearly counter-demonstrations, much smaller in size than the pro-life demonstration. Local media noted that the tone in encounters between opposing sides grew less confrontational in 2009.
