[KeepingItReal]

The soul of man will never die. Just as the body is carnal so is the carnal mind that cannot interpret or understand the scriptures. So many error from trying to take the scriptures literally and not being able to understand their spiritual meanings.

Romans 8:7
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Matthew 15:14
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.



Clearly the body is made from the dust to which it will return but the spirit or soul of mankind will return unto God who gave it. When a person is saved it is the soul or spirit that is saved from an eternity in hell and not the carnal body. Even in hell the soul will burn and burn but will never burn up as most would think. Some say well if I go to hell it will only last a few minutes at the most and then it will be over but this is not the case. There are numerous places to confirm this if interpreted correctly.

Luke 16:28
For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

2 Peter Chapter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;

9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
