Does the Bible say we have an immortal soul? | UNLEARN the lies

- Do we really have an immortal soul? What does the Bible say about it? Popular teachings about life after death center around the idea that a person’s soul is immortal and continues to live on after the death of their body. This idea has been very popular throughout history, especially among the Egyptians and Greeks. Most religious and philosophical views about the afterlife suggest that this existence takes place in a spiritual realm, not a physical one. But what does the Bible have to say about life after death?

"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."
(Matt. 10:28 KJV)
living water surprised he didn't touch on that scripture as it is the clearest description of his argument in my opinion. There are dozens more which confirm that the soul is created and can be destoyed.
I myself just believe in the most powerful one GOD....case closed
Thank you for this. I heard it said in a service by two pastors, "we don't really die, we just go to one place or the other." I have often wanted to revisit them and ask them who is it then that lied: God? when He said, the soul that sinneth it shall die" , or the serpent who said, "you shall not surely die." It really is that simple.
@@cats9654 Then God's the liar, and Satan told the truth!
Heidi but often you’ll get some responses like “the body dies not the soul” to push their immortal souls doctrine. They ignore a bunch of verses.
@@mrg466 satan is always the liar
Death is 3 parts. Spiritual death the state of humans before salvation 2 physical death leaving body. 3 eternal death separation from God.
But did the serpent lie?
What about: "do you not fear the one that can destroy the body but fear the one that can destroy body and soul."
That's exactly why we need to study the Bible because that's how God speaks to us, & stop asking the creation for info & start asking the creator God for info by reading his word, AKA the Bible
Exactly. Only God can destroy our soul. An immortal thing can’t be destroyed.
@JESUS IsLord amen!
The ancient Israeli word for "soul" is "nephish". It also means "life". Therefore, "life" and "soul" are synonymous. Where is the nephish (life/soul) located? Genesis 9:4 - "But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood." Leviticus 17:11 - "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that
makes atonement for the soul." Animals also have the breath of life, aka, nephish/life/soul. Where is the nephish/life/soul? In the blood. Our life force is in our blood. Genesis 2:7 - "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (soul/nephish); and man became a living being (life/soul/nephish)." We are a soul, life, nephish. The life force, soul force, nephish force resides in the blood. I challenge anyone to show me Scripture that says we have an immortal, independent soul, life, nephish like a ghost that exists apart from the body.
that's the most honest channel name on youtube. you've obviously done a lot of study, and research. thanks for sharing your work with us. i'll be looking for your book in the near future.
WoW! What a topic. Thank you Lex for doing all of the research needed to present this video. Truly, well done!
Zero Curvature as opposed to what?
Yes, it's possible that Lex had help if that's what you mean. But someone(s) took a lot of care in finding the passages and information for this video.
It frustrates me to no end how much of the Bible has been perverted by the catholic church. We hold so many things as Christian truth that are simply lies. Thanks for your hard work. I just wish that I could convince my mother to unlearn the lies.
DNW Annihilation is not the answer to the misleading doctrines.
DNW the stance in this TH-cam is also a lie. Do some more searching.
@@ChristProvidenceUntoYou are you an Israelite?
@@theresnohell3144 please explain or supply scripture to back up that claim
@@53slyder be specific of what you would like for me to back up.
I think we really need to make a distinction between "soul" and "spirit", or at least make sure that people understand that there are two very different concepts that are often translated as "soul" in English Bibles. The spirit (ruach or neshamah) is the incorporeal part of a person that continues to live in after the body dies. People have a spirit, while animals do not. The soul (nephesh) is the whole package of a living being. People *are* souls made up, in part, of spirits and bodies. Unfortunately, many Bibles and English speakers use these terms interchangeably and this is an enormous barrier to understanding what the Bible really says about our nature. People and animals are both nephesh or living souls.
So the spirit lives on but the soul can be destroyed by God?
Spirit means the breath. Living people are souls as stated in genesis. Adam became a living soul. There’s no such thing as dead souls.
The spirit is the spirit of God that lives within us, however it is God. We are our souls.
You got the part right about nephesh, but nowhere does it say our spirit lives forever. The spirit is the breath of God that gives us life. It returns to God when we die.
Spirit can also refer to our temperament or drive. Ie you can have an angry, generous or gentle spirit. Your spirit can also be broken. Something much deeper than a broken heart. But nowhere is it indicated that it's some conscious being that can exist outside the body.
@@cryptojihadi265 amen u r correct 💯
Man, your teaching is so clear - thank you
I just had an awakening moment about this very subject.
I am thankful for your input
God Bless
Peace
Yes, we do, the soul does live on just like God promised, the soul is alive and living only the flesh dies in a physical death. we have proof, God can do anything and God has sent down his angel for a powerful mission. to let you all know our soul is alive and living, have a blessed day.
Only the human body of flesh suffers a physical death, our souls are alive and living, just like God promised!! Have a blessed day!! God is amazing.
I needed this...I was reading about this day before and it left me very depressed because some churches say hell is eternal and some say it isnt. I only want to know the truth. Both arguements seem to have verses in Bible in agreement. And there are people who claim to go to hell and see demons tormenting people which i dont understand if hell is the demons punishment too. Why would God allow them to have the pleasure of what they already been doing against him for our very begginning.
Immortality of the Soul is extremely unbiblical.
Isaiah 53:5, But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed.
For salvation, people just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in the water and of the spirit. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled with the Holy Ghost and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is.
We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD.
We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritan. Our salvation has to match-up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away.
Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st, John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
God told Noah exactly how to be saved, how he must build the ark. Noah didn't come up with his own plan like people are doing today. A sinner's prayer, you just have to believe, etc which is not in the bible.
The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church.
It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, They continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Jesus Christ truly loves you. Do you truly love him? If you believe in this message, help spread it in the name of Jesus Christ. God bless you!
That is a good question, regarding demons. Maybe because they haven't been thrown into the lake of fire yet.
Huhhh
I need a queen.
I agree, thanks. The best definition of “soul”, is it is, vitality! Just like an electric appliance, you apply (breathe) voltage and it receives “vitality”. The Holy Spirit shall revitalize Christians at the resurrection along with a new body. Praise God!
very powerful, thank you for clarifying!
Eternal Life begins with Christ in you, because He is the Life
What does eternal soul mean when this soul moves through dimensions where time doesn't exist ? Think of when you are sleeping per instance.
🤣🤣
Yes, the Way, the Truth, and the Life! He told us!
We have the promise of eonaian life
I was waiting for this videos
Love this channel man.
Ecclesiastes 3: 11 says he has made everything beautiful in its time. Also he has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
Luke 19
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
Thank you for spreading this awareness.
I think what they are saying is that we didn’t exist for eternity prior to conception but now that we exist, starting from conception we exist on earth and then will exist forever either in the lake of fire or in heaven.
Martin Luther said: "In the sleep of death there is complete unconsciousness and complete unawareness of the condition of death and the passage of time."
Well it seems, this death is like sleep but the second death is more like ceasing to exist altogether
I would say that the first death is death for material beings and that the second death can kill even immortal beings like satan himself who received immortality from God when he was still in the third heaven. Btw did you know that satan is still in heaven? Not the third heaven but the second one... But John saw that in the last days, he will be thrown to the earth. ANd also if you ever wondered why Michael didn't slander satan its because even though he sinned against God , he still has heavenly nature. It is clear that just like David was merciful upon Absalom because he had royal blood so too God pitied satan because he used to dwell in heaven and has a heavenly nature. Interesting things... It seems to me tho that John foresaw a second exodus by the hand of God through the two witnesses but I am not sure...
So if death in this explaination is being totally unawareness/unconsciousness, then this death would have to apply to Messiah. So if that is the case, and there is non-conscienceness in death, then Yeshua(Jesus) would disqualify Himself as the Messiah since He made a false statement about resurrecting Himself. He cannot resurrect Himself if He is nonconsciences/unwareness state. That also would mean that when He was resurrected He would have to be reborn since there was no life in Him when he was dead in the tomb.. By the way if the Son of Elohim was completely death then Elohim would stop to exist because Elohim is one. SO DID MESSIAH DIED A DIFFERENT TYPE OF DEATH, DEATH IS DEATH ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES?
How would Martin Luther Know what is like
Well all of us know what its like. Have you ever slept whats called rem sleep? That's how the first death feels like... The second death on the other hand is fully ceasing to exist.
Shalom and Thank you Lex may Yeshua bless you and your ministry and family
Great video thank you Brother!!
Thank you for the video. I liked your book too, in which you extensively analyse passages and address opposing arguments too. The book is clearly the best format for the topic - unless you have so much pacience as to do a series of Videos.
I hope a Second Edition will include even more bible Texts e.g. 2 Cor. 5 and some more detail on the Parable of Lazarus. In order to really dispell all doubts (concerning such a crucial topic!) these texts need more attention. Some scholars such as Brad H. Young, David Bivin and possibly others may provide insight (First century cultural background) too.
Thank you so much for dedicating yourself to the Word! God bless you. Greetings from Germany
After years of study I have come to this conclusion also. Be one of the five wise bridesmaids, not one of the lost.
Huh
Thanks very informative, it so crucial to Christ's message to understand this. John 3:16 says who so ever believes in him has eternal life. Yet many churches teach that we are saved by works, good deeds and conduct. Whilst these things are important it's good to know that we are saved not by them but by grace. Eternal life is a gift of a loving God and all we have to do is believe in him. Thanks so much for sharing this.
@John Cameron LOL @ your god.
If YOU BELIEVE THAT then tell why DOES the SCRIPTURES /BIBLE SAY THIS ,JESUS SAID, get ready, this INCLUDING EVEN BELIEVERS pay ATTENTION HE SAYS, NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS TO ME LORD, LORD SHALL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, BUT HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER, !🤔 HE,SAID MANY WILL SAY TO ME ON THAT DAY LORD, LORD HAVE WE NOT PROPHESIED, IN YOUR NAME CAST OUT DEMONS IN YOUR NAME AND DONE MANY WONDERS IN YOUR NAME, AND LISTEN TO WHAT JESUS SAID TO THEM, 🤔 DEPART from me I,NEVER KNEW Y,O,U,,,,,YOU, WHO,PRACTICE,,,,L,A,W,L,E,S,S,N,E,S,S,,,LAWLESSNESS,,💥🤔💥Now GOGGLE THE DEFINITION OF LAWLESSNESS, AND SEE IF ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS BELIEVE,,,,,EVEN THE WICKED BELIEVE IN JESUS, 💥🤔,,,,READ YOUR BIBLE FOR YOURSELF AND ASK GOD TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH AS YOU DO ,THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL GUIDE AND TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, WELL MAY GOD BLESS US,ALL,AND,,,,,AMEN
"...the truth shall set you free"
A-men, A-men, A-men! Learning SO much from you, brother! Growing up in Baptist, then Charismastic & other protestant churches, that never quite made sense, or left unknowns in Yah's loving promises of the whole scripture, there was so much before that is becoming more & more clear. I just need to study, to learn scriptures better so as to truky share the Gospel measage I too am excitedly learning truly all a new now at the middle of my life.
The truth "makes" you free, it does not set you free. You are not captive.
Awesome Lesson Lex!
Amen brother you help me a lot with all your teaching god bless you amen
I was raised evangelical but just recently started to walk with Christ... I JUST started to learn the Bible on my own and Your channel has helped me to understand a lot of things that are confusing to me.
But unlearn this about hell has been hard... what about the people who say they’ve had near death experience and got to see/feel what eternal hell will be like... Was it a dream? Did they imagine it?
The medical field can explain this. When someone is asphyxiating. Aka. Not getting enough oxygen, that is a euphoric experience, and most people just see bright light and like tunnel vision and hallucinate.
Because they believe in Heaven, they see what they think Heaven is like
@@Kunoichi139 yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
No and neither did the rich man Lazarus. Eternal seperation from God will put us face to face with torment and its best described as getting burned "metaforically" speaking, however it is a place just as Jesus described. But, it wont be permanent its a time of reaping and trying to exist on the fruit of what we have sown. At judgement they become alive again body and soul " breath" will stand before the throne and given the sentence real death" they will cease to exist consumed by the lake of fire. P. S. Adam and Eve did not die on the very day they ate the fruit but on the very day they surely lost access to the tree of life and the garden that housed it.
Thank you brother for your teaching is accurately what the scripture said, God bless you.
YHVH bless you and keep you lex!
Satan’s greatest ambassadors are not pimps, politicians, or power-brokers, but pastors.
His priests do not peddle a different religion, but a deadly perversion of the true one.
His troops do not make a full-out frontal assault, but work as agents, sneaking into the opposing army.
Satan’s tactics are studied, clever, predictable, effective. Therefore, we must always remain vigilant.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:15-16a).
Nice Were Smart
Nice
You are preaching the Gospel truth
Makes so much sense! 👍👌
Thanks for teaching scripture accurately.
You speak the truth 🔥
This man speaks truth. I have studied this topic for years and was brought up on the lies passed down through generations that we die and yet live either in heaven or hell but when I dove into the bible and studied these things, It became clear that we have been taught false doctrines for centuries. But we can learn the truth once we let go of these teachings and as Lex says " Unlearn the lies ".
TruthHunter what about this scripture? “For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.”
1 Corinthians 15:53
Am I missing something?
Believe God not Charlatans
Charlatans, Both of you! Believe GOD not the words of men wise in there own deceit. Paul said to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Paul's body of flesh died. Christ taught about Hell and damnation in eternal fire. you cannot say you know anything of GOD or the truth. Jesus said I prepare a place for you. If it were not true I would have told you. You both call Christ a Liar.
@@amtrlt
It would seem we are with our body (or what's left of the bits and pieces that God can put back together. Maybe we are of it in it's vibrations as matter and what energy lies within) until we are absent of it and then with God in the place that was prepared. I'm not sure any of this pertains to what happens to us immediately after dying. Perhaps there's more in the context and with more pin point translation. Idk much of the Bible, nor can I remember things too well, but when it comes to what you just said, that's what I'd assume, just a disclaimer.
I would recommend everybody go to some one else for there understanding, the bible first, this guy knows nothing and what he professes to know are deceiving blather.
Thank you Lex. I agree with you 100%. Man does not "have" a soul but rather "is" a soul, a mortal soul. At Ecclesiastes 9:5 for example, Solomon said, "For the living know that they will die but the dead know nothing". A person in effect ceases to exist after death. Our real hope for life after death is The Resurrection.
Yes, I agree
Sandy..what about those in Rev.6 that were beheaded during Tribulation & r mentioned in heaven speaking w the Lord.
How could this be?if they died why aren't they just sleeping in the grave? I am confused
Sandra Heinz Your absolutely correct, but the soul sleep believer will change what the text says eventhough Revelation 4 starts off with what John saw in Heaven. This topic is so deep. Lots of people have just never studied it. You'd be amazed at how many intelligent people will tell you not to look up words or read other books on the matter. The funny thing is, the bible says everything the definitions and other books say.
e 2.7182818284590
I wouldn't say the dead cease to exist, perhaps a better way to put it is as the proverb says, they don't have a portion anymore under the sun and their spirit is not somewhere else engaged in various activities. Their spirit/uncousious soul returns to God who gave it. This is what will return to the dead at the resurrection. However, this does not mean that the soul is immortal.
GreenBean 4 Why start in the middle of the book on death when people start dying in Genesis?
Even Irenaeus (among many others) who once was a proponent of the doctrine of the immortality of the soul, later on rescinded his understanding once he learned of the truth regarding man's conditional immortality which IS indeed mortality.
Absolutely spot on, more please, more.....
In all seriousness how can Luke 16:22 be interpreted if when the body is dead the soul is also 22“Finally, the poor man died and was carried by the angels to sit beside Abraham at the heavenly banquet. The rich man also died and was buried, 23and he went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Abraham in the far distance with Lazarus at his side.
It was a parable.
@@user-lp4st9dx2y unlike some of the other stories that said they were parables, this story is very different. It not only names Lazarus by name it refers to Abraham by name and the prophets. Even if it was a parable, they are all actually based on true events that happens in reality to show how the kingdom of God operates, thus making it true anyway. Otherwise you're saying that what Jesus stated were the words of Abraham were made up, or a lie!
@@ctglenn1 so what are you saying exactly?
@@moremusic868 the souls of dead people are not sleep as some my say, they have some kind of consciousness, but no contact and awareness of the living world as they wait for Judgment day.
@@ctglenn1 you are right on 98% of what you say. The only thing I help you with is that the dead souls are indeed sleeping. Just not the sense of sleep that the world defines as sleep. Read John 11:11-14 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17. Continue in the faith and allow your light to shine bright! Peace and love to you! ✌❤
Really important topic you talk about here Lex, and thank you for sharing! I've really waited and have been looking forward to when you would bring this up! When I studied theology this was beyond doubt the most interesting topic - the theology of the nature of mankind. I'm always astonished by what believers say about us humans and our nature (all kinds of crazy stuff) and that they do not realize the foundational implications it has on who Jesus is.
Believing that we have an immortal soul is why people think that God will torment the unsaved in flames for all eternity. Hard to wrap your head around our loving God torturing billions if not trillions of unsaved people forever and ever. I’ve wrestled with the thought of that for years. Scariest thought anyone could imagine 😬
Thank you for your response.
I used to be a Jehovahs Witness and we believed what you are teaching about the soul as well, i dont agree with all your teachings but i do believe that Jesus is our savior and that God his Father sent him.
Ulises - Praise the Lord !!! And I am glad you noticed the false teaching very subtly weaved into this video :)
Then apparently that particular Jehovah’s Witnesses “church”, was actually teaching from Scripture.
Nats J.v.R , What false teachings?
The false teaching (which is becoming very popular at the moment) that after the Great White Throne judgement, those that are cast into the lake of fire will cease to exist.
Nats J.v.R is the lake of fire literally a lake? Its symbolic people
Paul said to be apart from the body is to be present with the Lord. So when we die our soul will be with the Lord.
Read all the Scriptures that Paul wrote about RESURRECTION and you will learn the TRUTH.
I've believed this was the true biblical position for a while but this really brings these points together.
thanks for the video sir

I think the 120 years was when the flood came...... because 500 years later Abraham lived to 175...
and many in between the flood and Abraham lived much much longer
rough avg. 300 + years

nephesh is the Hebrew word for soul.
By definition is it you and I. The soul is the body. Nephesh is our body, our whole being. Our nephesh die because our spirits which is the breath our creator blow into us slowly fade away.

Help me a lot .
It would have been nice if he started out saying with christ's sacrifice we are able to have an immortal soul. He just gave me a heart attack
Lmap right i i though he was getting at that once we die thats it. Because of Christ we have life after death.
@Asterix You are confusing immortal with infinite. Not the same thing. Mortal means subject to death. Immortal means not subject to death.
Spirit and soul are not the same
Hey Lex! I agree with your teaching about this subject and many others. I only have one problem and cannot fully understand this in the context of the soul not being immortal. I am talking about 1 Samuel chapter 28 starting with vers 7. I am pretty sure that the problem is not with the Scripure but instead it’s my problem of understanding this. So if you could share your knowledge in this matter that would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Great question. Notice verse 14 says that Saul "PERCEIVED that it was Samuel". It wasn't really Samuel because Samuel was and is asleep in the grave awaiting the Resurrection. This was a demonic spirit(fallen angel) impersonating Samuel. This is why several times in Scripture God condemns attempting to speak with the dead(Deuteronomy 18). Those who do this are speaking with demonic beings. I pray this answers your question. God bless!
@@jonathanhinkle2495 Thank you for your answers. Vers 15 says: "Samuel spoke to Saul...." Pretty sure that was Samuel. I can tell that only by the description told by the witch. Also, Abraham is also asleep awaiting the "Day of The Lord" but he is also "active" and speaks to the rich man in Luke 16:19-31. Before you say that's a parable, I don't think it is. That would be the first parable that mentions a name- Lazarus, who I think he actually lived and died and it's now with Abraham.
Sounds to me like the woman was able to contact Samuel while he was dead or asleep waiting for the resurrection of Christ. He didn’t seem happy to be taken from his rest. Bible teaches we die, sleep, wait, rise again with a new body and immortality to be with the Lord forever after that. Samuel had to be awaken and put back to rest. Just my opinion. ❤
Very Good indeed, well done. Good Speed
This is giving me a lot to dig into, I appreciate this channel and the approach/perspective outside of the Western Church structured teachings. I am struggling to reconcile this idea of the soul. Scriptures I have found that have me questioning are: Romans-8:29, Galatians-1:15. 1 Peter-1:20, Jeremiah-1:5 and Isaiah-44:24. These scriptures indicate God knew men before being born. I understand God it outside space and time as He is omnipresent. I'm wondering if the soul he creates at conception would not have already been in some form of existence in that place outside of space and time to know any before being formed.
Uhhh
Luke 23:43: “And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, To day shall you be with me in paradise.”
Larry, Our Lord stayed three days and three nights buried like he said he would after being crucified. When Mary and the other women saw him early on the first day of the week after he had risen she tried to touch him and he forbade her because like he said he hadn't ascended as yet to his father. How then did the thief join him in paradise immediately after death? I know the placing of the coma in that scripture could connote the meaning you are ascribing to but the Bible does not support that doctrine of going anywhere but the grave after death.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
On that day the Lord will not be returning to earth with any person who died and went to heaven, they will in the grave or wherever their ashes were thrown and those alive on earth will join them to meet the Lord.
What happens if you move the comma after TODAY ? The comma never existed in the original documents !
@@bestcoursesonlinecura7644 That's right commas didn't even exist. And like Joel said above he didn't accend yet to heaven that day anyway so it couldn't have meant "today" literally.
@@michellemoffett9458 Jesus told him that day (today) that he will be (future time ) with him in paradise . The New Earth is called paradise and Heaven is the place where the Father is . We will never be where the Father is . We will be with Jesus on the New Earth !
Truth indeed.....the dead are dead. Don't believe the first great lie. God bless you brother....

Oh wow m! Also great verses to share.. .Amen
Excellent !!
Lex could you please do a video on the difference between soul and spirit
Very simple , just go to Genesis man was formed with sand or clay and after God breath the breath of life into his nostril and he became being simple , and Isaiah said after death your spirit or the breath goes to the one givers that means to God simple so (sand or body or clay plus breath is equal to soul ) so HE said the soul that sinned shall die . So what is left??????
Soul = being
Spirit = disposition
We don’t have a soul (being), but we ARE a soul (being). The state of our being (soul) can be characterized by our disposition (spirit).
The soul is the combination of spirit and dirt. Simple explanation straight from the first page of the bible.
@@zvezdan956 no
@@zvezdan956 so angels are made out or dirt?
Nope
Also after the fifth seal, there were people who appear in heaven after their death
Good job
WOW, super eye opening
I’m wondering now what Paul meant by saying “absent from the body is present with the lord” what’s absent from the body?
He meant exactly what he said. He desired to leave and be with the Lord, something he understood to be immediate. Where the understanding gets lost is Paul is talking about what comes out of the body upon death, but every soul sleep believer will take you to scriptures talking about the body. The topic is not the body but what comes out of the body.
Jeff Lewis according to this video the souls and bodies are one...they don’t separate . This leaves me with questions about the “new bodies” we receive will they be with new souls? And then also maybe Paul was talking about the Spirit being present, or the breath of life
Lauren Maxwell give me the scripture where Paul was quoted
2 Regular Guys:Prophecy Fact Check According to the bible soul and body are not one.
Jeff Lewis show me scripture
Spirit = Gods Energy
Body = Matter
Spirit + Body = Soul
Excellent video my brother!
Why energy?
Why energy?
“And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin.”
Genesis 35:18 , how do you explain this
I'm astounded by ur commentary, i can find no fault with you my bruder, Godspeed ...
I think a lot of people are confused, however, remember, this is not a salvation issue, but we all are trying to figure it out......we will all know when we cross to the other side. Pray for understanding and discernment!
I tell this to people all the time, but they'd rather argue. So long as we agree that Christ is the only path to salvation, then we are brothers and sisters in His name.
tbirdsong1 well these are saying if we aren't saved then we are destroyed. I don't believe God destroys anyone. The cross of Christ took care of sin in full! The "destruction" is of our body in the grave. This is a bogus video.
tbirdsong1 your right we are groping in the dark.
@@dnw8720 how would I know?
.. Jesus said if you keep my father's commandments through me you shall live again through me you shall have eternal life.
John 3:16 for God so loved the world he gave his only son whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have eternal life !!
praise the Lord for this teacher
Amen brother! Amen!
I am so grateful that I am
saved and have everlasting life through Jesus.
Yahushua is the gate. the commands are the narrow path we must walk on 2tim3:15-17 the law can make you wise for salvation. phil. 2:12 work out your salvation with fear and trembling. salvation is a process. turning away from lawlessness and starting to obey YAHUAH again. matthew 19:16-17. 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light/law, as he is in the light/law, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Yahushua Messiah his Son cleanseth us from all sin/lawlessness.
Jesus says, "Ye are gods." "You can do what I can do and more." Keep studying
That is not the meaning behind what He said
@@unlearnthelies yeah man these people are deceived. Most people don't have a love for the truth. They would rather believe a lie and be damned.
Oracle DragonStar That is not anywhere near Christian. That is a cultic interpretation, often used by Mormons and WOF “churches.”
I wish somebody will answer this: of what church did lex being a part of? I would like to know because I would love to join and learn more about this biblical ideas. Thanks
Very, very good and the TRUTH.
Rev. 18:20 and the Martyrdom of Polycarp proves Adventism is false
The Martyrdom of Polycarp (AD 117): Here's a direct quote
The *CHURCH* of God which sojourns at *Smyrna* (Rev. 2) , to the *CHURCH* of God sojourning in Philomelium, and to ALL the congregations of *the Holy and CATHOLIC CHURCH* in every place: Mercy, peace, and love from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, be multiplied.
For, [Polycarp] having through patience overcome the unjust governor, and thus acquired the crown of immortality, *he NOW, with the apostles and all the righteous [in heaven], rejoicingly glorifies God, even the Father, and blesses our Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour of our souls, the Governor of our bodies, and *the Shepherd of the *CATHOLIC CHURCH throughout the world* .[28] *(The placing of Polycarp's immortal soul in heaven after his martyrdom is exactly what we find in Revelation 18:20 with the Apostles and all the righteous)*
Notice how the author, says *Christ is the Shepherd of the Catholic Church THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE WORLD" In other words, the entire Christian world in 117 AD understood 2 things:
1.That Christ was the Shepherd of the Catholic Church and
2.The doctrine of the immortality of the soul and teaching of the righteous souls went to heaven after the death of the body was taught by Christ and the Church *throughout the whole world!*
Another Adventist heresy on soul sleep and annihilationism bites the dust.
I was a pentecostal I had my. Doubts about the eternal soul. 1cor15 the first Adam was a natural man. Not natural and spiritual. Ecc. Says the dead cannot praise him.. In Timothy it says immortality and life came through the gospel. May God glve understanding in this.
Yes the Lord breathes out soul in us, but than that soul He gives us lives Eternal.... that's just like our amazing God!
Only the righteous will be given eternal life. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life.
Soul and spirit are two completely diferent things in the Bible.
God Breathed Spirit (ruak), and we became a living soul (nephesh/vessel)
Thank you...I learned this years ago and believe it whole heartedly!! Thank you for your teaching on this. God bless you.
Hallelujah ✝️🇮🇳✝️
Thanks A Lot Brother !!
Thank u lex for everything mostly thank the Lord ,i have some mormons there suppose to teach what they know but I know a lil so I can stand my ground,anybody know a good channel or can help me get a Mormon saved by Grace not thru works
first name last name: there are literally DOZENS of great TH-cam videos from former Mormons that will really help you understand. The main thing is this....it is by FAITH alone...in the FINISHED WORK of Jesus Christ...when He shed His blood on the Cross at Calvary... as a ransom for many(sinners). Every person in "the flesh" is unrighteous and sinful(from birth) before a Holy God...BORN that way. Jesus died to pay our sin debts IN FULL...without us having to "work our way" up the ladder. Believe in Jesus Christ...confess that you need a Savior...pray to God, the Heavenly Father(in Jesus Name)...pray to be strengthened against the power of sin...read the Gospel Books (KJV)...Matthew, Mark, Luke and John....focus/meditate on these Words. Have FAiTH and trust...and PEACE in Jesus Christ. Works are good...and Christians should do good things(from the heart...not because they "earn" brownie points). The Mormons have more rituals, requirements, tithes, special underwear, initiations, extra-Biblical "books" and such....that it would drive me NUTS to have to do all they do....and still not know for certain... that they had eternal life. Their two "heroes," Joseph Smith and Brigham Young...were VERY "unsavory" characters...major polygamists...(if you need to bring THAT up). I do NOT believe that there was "extra-Biblical Revelation" given to EITHER of these ya-hoos....unless they were sent by "their god" from the planet Kolob).
Valerie Griner yea I know everything u said just need a better deeper understanding if u understand where I'm coming from kinda,like there stuck like people in evolution,quantum physics,stimulation and stuff.they sometimes don't see the bigger picture,kjv is a good but a niv esv can get someone to Jesus also,not against the kjv but God did preserve his word look around his words are coming true.
Yea and crazy maybe they would be surprised if they knew what he practiced and how it connects to old witchcraft stuff sorcery anyways God bless ya brother and sister don't forget to pray .
Yeah...I didn't bring up Joseph Smith's "scrying"...you know...the ole "look in the magic hat trick." Actually, there is so much bizarre stuff connected to the Mormon doctrine that it is hard to cover it all in one paragraph. Like I said, there is much to be admired as far as their moral standards, family/community devotion, and their willingness to go out for 2 years as missionaries. As I told the nice young men who stopped at my house...."I admire your mission, but I DO pray that you get your messages about Jesus Christ cleared up."Maybe...they'll at least think about it.
The soul can't be killed Matthew 10:28
You are wrong
Wonderful ☺️
Hello Lex, I am wondering what your thoughts on Birthdays are. Any info would be very much appreciated, Shalom.
The Bible (Book of Revelation) does suggest that we can live eternally out of the body as in the case of those who take the mark of the beast
Suggest is interpretation, not proof, biblical proof is verse and versesssss, clear cut
When Jesus is hanging on the cross, one of the two criminals hanging there says, "remember me when you enter your kingdom." Jesus says, today you will be with me in paradise." Not sure if Jesus says "today" but I'm curious what your take is on that since the dead will sleep until judgement day.
A Manual For Misfits some men throughout the Bible went to be with Yah like Enoch. Not all men have died or slept until the resurrection. At least that’s what I have derived from what I’ve read
There is no comma in Hebrew texts. So the translators put it where they wanted it.
So "I tell you the truth today, you WILL be with me in paradise." Is very different than "I tell you the truth, TODAY you will be with me in paradise"
Jesus, after he was resurrected, told Mary not to touch him as he hadn't gone to the father yet. Jesus was dead those three days. He was in the grave. The Holy Spirit had to raise him up,he wasn't conscious or able to raise himself. He had not gone to heaven yet. So clearly he could not have been with the thrief in paradise THAT day. The first version is in line with scripture and not the second.
@@LadyPizzaCrust That's a lie!
@@stormrising2623 The Bible never said that Paradise was Heaven,... it's only an assumption by most people.
While I may not whole heartedly agree with all that you teach, I really appreciate your thinking and your teachings. I also like that you use the name Yeshua. Thank you.
Terrific!
I'm confused? Are you saying if we believe in Christ that he will not take us when he returns?...
I understand that when we die we don't immediately go to heaven. But when he returns body's that were asleep in Christ will then be taken N live forever with him.
The combination of the body and the spirit is the soul. You are having a problem with terminology. You're also having a problem a physics, if a spirit is a form of energy, and we know that mass and energy are fundamentally the same thing at different frequencies. Then we do have a body that lives on after death. Plus you are predicating your argument on the an English text of Genesis, not on Hebrew. The fundamental understanding that the spirit was infused into the man after creation is sound.
Robert Fustin all the soul is; is the earthly living body; actually our earthly identity.. its not the spirit included.
The spirit lives on. The body/soul dies. The body is changed and brought back to life.
Software can't be destroyed... soul is software not hardware, hence is not subject to velocity and mass and hence is eternal..
Lies!
@@theresnohell3144 lies!
@@thomasranjit7781 lies!
I am a little confused. So if our consciousnesses is asleep and not self aware after death then why would God resurrect unbelievers only to destroy them again at the final judgement, the second death?
I stand with you
Without listening to the video yet my answer is
NO we dont, we CAN have eternal life though, one that only comes from God as long as we are with him.
i agree
Noel Robles I have never seen a soul sleep believer deal with this word.

Yes, He overcame sin and death and the same Spirit which raised Him from the dead lives in us, and that is why we must be born again. His life in us. That is eternal. Thank you Father.
Excellent video Lex. Many of these things I have known for a long time. I still fellowship with folks who believe in an immortal soul. This video does a great job showing the gravity of this teaching.
Simply put God will grant us eternal life after the Second Coming... not grant us immortality
Not true
"this mortal must put on immortality"
@@smokeybirdman amen
Arent they the same both u never die?
I agree. And btw, I think your haircut and beard trim look nice. My husband's beard is growing out... he needs a trim, too -- lol.

The timing of my coming across this was amazing. I had just read a Chabad notice which stated in part: “The Yahrtzeit of a Tzaddik (anniversary of the death of a righteous man) is a time for personal reflection, and an opportunity to bond with the Tzaddik's soul so that it will intercede on our behalf in Heaven.” I was very surprised to hear this said by a Jewish organization. Obviously some Jews do believe in the Roman Catholic/HaSatan’s teaching of the immortality of the soul. It is possibly a teaching of Kabbalah and certainly not Torah.
Yeas : according to the scriptures, we have an immortal soul. Yea that's after the physical body is dead. The soul is exiting in every body.
The soul that sinneth shall die...very very simple...nothing immortal about that...
@@wildchild00fu yeas those who are sinners, will die twice. As this physical body, can die so will their spirits.
Where in Scripture does it say we have immortal souls?
Quote it
You can’t
You said "The Bible should be our source of doctrines and not assumptions and philosophies of men." yet the evidences you gave did not come from the bible. They are "assumptions and philosophies of men" like encyclopedias, to name some.
You don't like you are interested in looking for an answer rather you seem like you trying to just justify your own point of view.....
*You don't seem like
I once preached a sermon that stated those without Christ will be consumed in the Gehenna Fire and body and soul will be gone. Only those with Christ will live eternally with him. He alone grants this and anyone who believes otherwise are lost to the truth of Jesus. People did not like it because they thought God will forgive everyone and all will be in Heaven. I told them the Bible does not state that.
Hi Lex,I'm on a dilemma right now regarding the doctrine of limited atonement,can you please enlightened me regarding this issue. Thanks.
