Soul Sleep<\/span><\/h2>\n

Today, leading up to the centenary of Ellen White’s death, we pray for Adventism, who deny the spirit of man. Instead of believing in a heaven filled with saints praising God, to them, we are alone, with no living cloud of witnesses to pray for their fellow Christians on earth. We pray that they come to understand the biblical teaching that our fellow-believers have indeed become spirits made perfect, and that we praise God united with them.<\/p>\n

How utterly revolting is the belief that as soon as the breath leaves the body the soul of the impenitent is consigned to the flames of hell! … Upon the fundamental error of natural immortality rests the doctrine of consciousness in death\u2014a doctrine, like eternal torment, opposed to the teachings of the Scriptures, to the dictates of reason, and to our feelings of humanity<\/span>
\n– Ellen White, The Great Controversy, pp477-478<\/p>\n

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.<\/span>
\n– Ecclesiastes 12:7 [KJV]<\/p>\n

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.<\/span>
\n– Matthew 10:28 [KJV]<\/p>\n

And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.<\/span>
\n– Luke 23:43 [KJV]<\/p>\n

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord<\/span>
\n– 2 Corinthians 5:6 [KJV]<\/p>\n

And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? [27] He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.<\/span>
\n– Mark 12:26-27 [KJV]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nWater from the side of Christ, wash me.<\/span>

\nAs it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.<\/span>
\nAmen<\/span><\/p>\n
