"Soul Sleep" is Another SDA Lie
The Seventh Day Adventists take the Bible passage, "the dead know nothing",
to mean the dead are asleep.
No, what Solomon is saying is that "the dead [body] knows nothing"(Ecclesiastes 9.5).
The souls of the departed are awake in heaven "for there is no night there,"(Revelation 22.5)!!
(As apostle Paul puts it, "Brethren..you are all sons of light, sons of the day.
We are not of the night, nor of darkness.
So, let us not sleep..but let us watch and be sober.
FOR THOSE THAT SLEEP SLEEP AT NIGHT" (1 Thessalonians 5.4-7).
How can we prove that the SDA view is incorrect?
Well, there are TWO revelations of God by God.
Besides "Special Revelation" or the Bible,
there is what?GENERAL REVELATION,
God revealing Himself in Nature, His Creation(Romans 1.19-20: Psalms 19.1-4).
Since mankind is part of Nature,
we can take what people discover as General Revelation, truth from God !!!
So when people have NDEs or Near Death Experiences
in which the soul comes out of the body and meets an angel or a departed loved one, or even Christ Himself,
the NDEs deserve to taken seriously.
Even though this refutes the benighted SDA doctrine.
For the departed loved ones aren't asleep like SDA claims.
I'm saying that the testimony of people who have had NDEs PROVE the SDA doctrine is wrong-wrong-wrong !!!
What is really unforgivable is the attempt to silence the people who have had these NDEs.
The pastor tells him or her to "keep silent" about their trip to the vestibule of heaven.
"Or else I will have to expell you from the church."
When a pastor puts church doctrine above
General Revelation that comes from God,
you know the Spirit of God isn't there.
to mean the dead are asleep.
