Which Will you Believe?

 Immortal Soul or Eternal Life? Do You Know the Difference? 

Hopefully you're curious enough to learn because they are not the same thing. One is truth, the other is a lie.  If you believe God then you only want to believe truth. WHICH WILL YOU BELIEVE?

(Excerpt- The Immortality of the Soul, Is it a Scriptural Doctrine?) 

VII. WHICH WILL WE BELIEVE?

Nor is that all; for when the Lord is thus removed from his throne, Satan is put into his place. 

See here: In the event of man's sinning,-

GOD SAID,

"Thou shalt surely die."

SATAN SAID,

"Ye shall not surely die."

Which of these told the truth? It is impossible for both to be true. The doctrine of

the immortality of the soul teaches that the devil told the truth, for that doctrine

teaches that there is no death, and if there be no death, then every man has life,

independent of belief in Christ, which, as we have read from the word, makes

God a liar. Therefore, the doctrine of the immortality of the soul sets God aside as

a liar, and exalts Satan as the one who tells the truth, and as the one who is to be

believed.

Here we close our investigation of this subject. These evidences certainly show that the doctrine of the immortality of the soul is subversive of the truth of God. 

We have proved by logical deduction from sound SCRIPTURE premises-

1) that the doctrine of the immortality of the soul is subversive of the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead; 

2) that it is subversive of the doctrine of the COMING OF THE LORD; 

3) that it is subversive of the doctrine of the JUDGMENT; 

4) that it is subversive of the MISSION OF CHRIST; 

5) that it supplants Christ in the honor of opening the way from this world to another, and bestows that honor upon Satan; 

6) and finally, that it puts God aside as a liar, and exalts Satan to his place as the one who tells the truth.

The logical summary of all this is contained in one word-Spiritualism. 

The immortality of the soul is the foundation of Spiritualism; and through the already prevalent belief of that doctrine, Spiritualism will yet lead the world to the active acceptance of every point which we have charged. Therefore, we pray all to flee this thing, and believe "the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." (End Article)
