Thoughts On The Paranormal

He was telling them that God was lying. Now, as we know, Adam and Eve didn't physically die the very day that they ate of the tree. Why? Because God showed mercy and grace. We see that God covers their nakedness with coats of "skins". In other words... God slayed and animal in their place to cover their nakedness. This is an early type and shadow of Calvary. Your faulty interpretation unravels the fact that sacrificial atonement is typified in the very first story of the Bible.

Soul sleep is a doctrine of devils. A lie.

Adam was told 'ye shall die'. He was not told 'ye shall physically die, but spiritually live forever'.

God said 'you will die'. The serpent said 'you will not die.'

Adam, the LIVING SOUL, was going to die, according to God. If Adam was a 'living soul' (the Bible says so), then the living soul was going to DIE, according to God. but the serpent said Adam, the LIVING SOUL, would NOT DIE. So, God says the soul will die, the serpent says the soul will not die.

What say you? Oh wait, you have already staked your claim! The soul lives on! The soul DOES NOT DIE!

Adam and eve did not physically die the day... because God had mercy? hmmm... what did Jesus mean when he said 'let the dead bury the dead'?

I think that might open up an understanding on this subject for you.

I'm calling you on this one because it's a blatant error. Where did God tell Adam that he would "spiritually die"? Death is death. The death God spoke of was physical... and spiritual. Both were atoned for by the slaughtering of a best to make coats of skins that covered their nakedness.

God said 'you will die'. The serpent said 'you will not die.'

Adam, the LIVING SOUL, was going to die, according to God. If Adam was a 'living soul' (the Bible says so), then the living soul was going to DIE, according to God. but the serpent said Adam, the LIVING SOUL, would NOT DIE. So, God says the soul will die, the serpent says the soul will not die.

Many are theologically incapable of thinking with categorical logic. Yes, a living being with intelligence and reason is a living soul. However, this doesn't discount the reality that the soul continues on after physical death. We must not fail to apply logical categorically... else you end up with a logical falacy predicated upon a false dichotomy, which is what you have.

Again, logical falacy due to a failure of applying categorical logic. You've bought into a false dichotomy.

So, YOU say this:

A living being is a living soul.

You affirm that God said Adam (a living soul) was going to die.

Then you say 'the soul continues on after death.'

How does the soul live if it is dead? If the soul dies, then it does not continue to live.

Unless you are equivocating... which methinks ye might be.

All "living soul" indicates is that one is a soul (psueche/psyche) in a body.
