Anyone Here Believe In Soul Sleep?

[Beard]

Hey Brother Michael...
All is well here...
you have been on my heart...
been praying for you and your family...
God bless

spirits of just men made perfect...not bodies of just men made perfect...
the question is: "Does the spirit have cognitive knowledge of its own, or only if is in a body comprising a soul?"

how can a person being absent from the body as Paul was, who was caught up to the third heaven, see things in their spirit and understand them without utilizing the brain as the organ for the soul? intuition or things known in the spirit is within the spirit of the person as knowledge gained without the intellect of the mind

then why the resurrection from the dead body if the spirit is already in heaven some will ask?
Dominion was given to man...and only a man has dominion in the earth; that is, a spirit within a body comprising a soul. The heaven belongs to the Lord, but the earth He has given to the children of men. Therefore the body will be the seed for the heavenly body that will be just like Jesus body after the resurrection. There was only one heaven in the beginning when God made the heaven and the earth; there are now three. When the New Jerusalem as the bride of Christ comes down from heaven to earth, again there will be only one heaven; Jesus being the King over heaven and earth; spirits in heaven being joined back to their bodies in the earth bringing in the kingdom of heaven.The interim between the death of the body and the resurrection of the body does not impair the spirit of the person having understanding, reason, and cognitive ability.

Here are the spirits of just men in heaven making inquiry of the Lord. "And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." (Revelation 6:10,11). It is clear that the spirit is not asleep, for the soul does not sleep with the body in the grave.


again, I appreciate your knowledge of the Word
