God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” GENESIS 1:26-28 • “Image” (Hebrew tselem): physical representation of the king to the world • “Rule” (Hebrew radah): stewarded authority over the world’s resources • Humans are royal representatives of the Creator called to oversee the flourishing of God’s world. And the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed‚... GENESIS 2:7-8 • Humans: dirt and divine breath (ruakh) = living being (nephesh) • “Soul” is a common (and unhelpful!) translation of nephesh. • “A ‘soul’ is the living individual, not in the sense of a separate indestructible spiritual sub- stance, but in the sense of concrete, needy, physical life.” WILLIAM DYRNESS, OUTLINE OF OLD TESTAMENT THEOLOGY. SEE ALSO PSALM 42:1 • Humans do not have souls; humans are souls. The Sin and Death of the Image Bearers The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.” GENESIS 2:15-17 Summary: • Trust and obedience results in life. • Rebellion and mistrust results in death. - “Death”: a separation of what was never intended to be separated. » Relational Death: isolation and fear of others. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. GENESIS 3:7 » Spiritual death: moral and spiritual separation from God. And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in those who are disobedient. EPHESIANS 2:1-2 » Physical death: a schism between the material and immaterial. By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.” GENESIS 3:19 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come... before the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. ECCLESIASTES 12:1, 7 If God were to take back his spirit and withdraw his breath, all life would cease, and humanity would turn again to dust. JOB 34:14-15 Key Implications • Humans are not inherently immortal, nor is the human soul an immortal, separable part of the human person. Humans have a material and immaterial makeup. Death brings an unnatu- ral schism between those two that is not permanent or desirable. • According to Genesis 2-3, human immortality is a gift from God which we forfeited through our sin. The rest of the story is about that gift. • All humanity exists in a state of living death because of sin. Christ Conquers Sin and Destroys Death God enters sinful humanity and bears the pain of sin and death. Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying. HEBREWS 2:14-15 Through his resurrection he conquers sin and death and offers us life. For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. We know that our old sinful humanity was crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him. We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. ROMANS 6:4-10 Eternal life and eternal death are present realities that will continue on into the future. “I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out—those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. JOHN 5:24-29 “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. JOHN 17:1-3 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. COLOSSIANS 1:13-14 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in those who are disobedient.... But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions— it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. EPHESIANS 2:1-6 Life after Death: The Intermediate State Meaning: temporary state of existence between physical death and physical resurrection Biblical teaching .Hades (ᾅδης): ”grave, tomb,” the place where all the dead go ,(שאול) Sheol • All his sons and daughters came to comfort him, but Jacob refused to be comforted. “No,” he said, “in mourning will I go down to the grave to my son.” So his father wept for him. GENESIS 37:35 Those who belong to Christ—in heaven with Christ Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” LUKE 23:42-43 For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die. For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better. But if I live, I can do more fruitful work for Christ. So I really don’t know which is better. I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me. But for your sakes, it is better that I continue to live. PHILIPPIANS 1:20-24 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. We live by faith, not by sight.

    Message Four Being Faithful in Service in the Lord's Commission

    THE CHRISTIAN LIFE, THE CHURCH LIFE, THE CONSUMMATION OF THE AGE, AND THE COMING OF THE LORD (Saturday—First Morning Session) Message Four Being Faithful in Service in the Lord’s Commission and in His Gifts for His Second and Imminent Coming Scripture Reading: Matt. 24:45-51; 25:14-30 Matt 24:45 Who then is the faithful and prudent slave, whom the master has set over his household to give them food at the proper time? Matt 24:46 Blessed is that slave whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Matt 24:47 Truly I say to you that he will set him over all his possessions. Matt 24:48 But if that evil slave says in his heart, My master delays, Matt 24:49 And begins to beat his fellow slaves and eats and drinks with the drunken, Matt 24:50 The master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know, Matt 24:51 And will cut him asunder and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. In that place there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Matt 25:14 For the kingdom of the heavens is just like a man about to go abroad, who called his own slaves and delivered to them his possessions. Matt 25:15 To one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability. And he went abroad. Matt 25:16 Immediately he who had received the five talents went and traded with them and gained another five.

Paul's earliest writings, the Thes­ salonian letters, written some five years before Romans, rea­ sonably, because they feature Christ's second coming and the end of the age, are placed, save the Pastoral Epistles and Philemon, last of his fourteen Epistles. If Mordecai, with­ out explicit evidence, believed it was like God to have Esther on the throne at a most crucial time (Esther 4 :14), why should it be "judged incredible" that God had some­ ~hing to do with this arrangement of his Bible?

  • A Re-Examination of Luther's View on the State of the Dead

    A Re-Examination of Luther's View on the State of the Dead

    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 22/2 (2011):154-170. Article copyright © 2011 by Trevor O’Reggio. A Re-examination of Luther’s View on the State of the Dead Trevor O’Reggio Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Andrews University Introduction Luther’s theology was forged in the crucible of his struggle to find forgiveness and peace from his overwhelming sense of guilt. He had an acute sense of misery and felt as if he hung in the balance between life and death. The German word that captures something of Luther’s emotional state is Anfechtung—one feels cut off from God and hope is suffocated. “Anfechtung is the foretaste of the peril of death.”1 It was not only the fear of death that terrorized him, but death itself was an ever-present reality for Luther. He lost two of his children in childhood, so by virtue of his experience, and his theology, he was forced to wrestle with the meaning of death and the after-life. It is not surprising then that Luther wrote much about death, some of it at times confusing and complicated. Did Luther believe in soul sleep or in an immortal soul that survives death? There are generally two views concerning the state of the dead among Christians. The first view asserts that when a person dies, his soul survives death and continues to exist in some place. For those who are saved, they go straight into paradise. For those who are not so righteous, they go into some halfway house called purgatory (Catholic view) where they are purified and made ready for paradise.

    Today We Have This Powerful Story of the Raising of the Widow's Son from the Dead. We Know There Are a Couple of Other Exampl

    Today we have this powerful story of the raising of the widow’s son from the dead. We know there are a couple of other examples in the Scriptures of Jesus raising people from the dead. Of course, the story of the raising of Lazarus and the story of the raising of the daughter of Jairus. But this raising story, you’ll notice, is a little different. In this story no one is asking Jesus for help. For Lazarus, Martha says “If you had been here, my brother would not have died.” Jairus says, “My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay your hands on her that she may get well and live.” Jesus sets on His own initiative and in this we see His great compassion. Let’s look at the scene a little closer. The one who died was the only son of a widow. So she was alone. Her husband had died, and now her only son had died, so she has the terrible grief of losing her son after already having lost her husband. She has the prospect now of being alone, and on top of this, in those days women didn’t really work for income. So now she has to be completely dependent on the charity of others to live. Maybe she now would even have to be reduced to begging. The Lord sees all this going on. The exact scripture we heard was: “When the Lord saw her, He was moved with pity for her.” So we see the Lord’s great compassion here.

D. LEWIS In terms of biblical psychology, man does not have a “soul,” he is one. He is a living and vital whole. It is possible to distinguish between his activities, but we cannot distinguish between the parts, for they have no independent existence.2 J. K. HOWARD How should we think about human persons? What sorts of things, fundamentally, are they? What is it to be a human, what is it to be a human person, and how should we think about personhood? . The first point to note is that on the Christian scheme of things, God is the premier person, the first and chief exemplar of personhood . and the properties most important for an understanding of our personhood are properties we share with him.3 A LVIN PLANTINGA CHAP1.fm Page 17 Wednesday, August 2, 2000 3:03 PM CHAPTER 1 Establishing a Framework for Approaching Human Personhood ................................................... ........................ T IS SAFE TO SAY THAT THROUGHOUT HUMAN HISTORY, THE VAST majority of people, educated and uneducated alike, have been dual- I ists, at least in the sense that they have taken a human to be the sort of being that could enter life after death while one’s corpse was left behind—for example, one could enter life after death as the very same individual or as some sort of spiritual entity that merges with the All.

  • The Human Encounter with Death

    The Human Encounter with Death

    The Human Encounter With Death by STANISLAV GROF, M.D. & JOAN HALIFAX, PH.D. with a Foreword by ELISABETH KÜBLER-ROSS, M.D D 492 / A Dutton Paperback / $3.95 / In Canada $4.75 Stanislav Grof, M.D., and Joan Halifax, Ph.D., have a unique authority and competence in the interpretation of the human encounter with death. Theirs is an extraordin­ ary range of experience, in clinical research with psyche- delic substances, in cross-cultural and medical anthropology, and in the analysis of Oriental and archaic literatures. Their pioneering work with psychedelics ad­ ministered to individuals dying of cancer opened domains of experience that proved to be nearly identical to those al­ ready mapped in the "Books of the Dead," those mystical visionary accounts of the posthumous journeys of the soul. The Grof/Halifax book and these ancient resources both show the imminent experience of death as a continuation of what had been the hidden aspect of the experience of life. —Joseph Campbell The authors have assisted persons dying of cancer in tran­ scending the anxiety and anger around their personal fate. Using psychedelics, they have guided the patients to death- rebirth experiences that resemble transformation rites practiced in a variety of cultures. Physician and medical anthropologist join here in recreating an old art—the art of dying. —June Singer The Human Encounter With Death is the latest of many re­ cent publications in the newly evolving field of thanatology. It is, however, a quite different kind of book—one that be­ longs in every library of anyone who seriously tries to un­ derstand the phenomenon we call death.
  • Problematics of the Dimensions of Death

    Problematics of the Dimensions of Death

    2424 6 May 90 PROBLEMATICS OF THE DIMENSIONS OF DEATH ELLIOTT THINKSHEETS 309 L.Eliz.Dr., Craigville, MA 02636 Among the fears ineluctably buzzing around death both as fact Phone 508.775.8008 & as idea is the fear of the spiritual dimension of life, even of Noncommercial reproduction permitted the very word "spiritual." Eg, Lloyd Glaubermen, inventor of Hypno-Peripheral Pro- cessing (the latest in psychotechnology: multiple-track audiotapes to pre-change behavior from the unconscious to conscious living--incorporating Milton Erikson's subliminal story-telling & Neuro-Linguistic Programming's dual induction--"to build self-esteem, dispel depression, and generate a healing effect in both mind and body") says the use of myths-stories "can bring meaning and purpose to many of us. I hesitate to say that the stories have a spiritual message , since this word for many may equate to a lack of substance. Rather, I might just say that the stories, the myths, have a universal application and appeal." (Interview by David Beeman in April- May/90 PASTORAL COUNSELING LETTER; boldface, mine) The S-word is scary for a profounder reason than this that our psychoacoustical stress-manager alludes to. It is scary fundamentally because "spiritual" signals the deepest/highest dimension of our lives, where most--indeed, everything--is at risk as we face the "Mysterium tremendum et fascinosum" ("the Mystery that causes us to tremble, but so fascinates us we can't run away"). And of all life-events, none other can compare with death in grabbing our attention for the "spiritual" dimension. No wonder the current flood of books on the death/spirituality relationship--many on Hospice chaplaincy.
  • The Reality of Hell

    The Reality of Hell

    THE REALITY OF HELL Bob Ross Is there a place of literal fire where lost sinners will be confined throughout eternity? “HELL” • “SHEOL” • “HADES” • “GEHENNA” • “TARTARUS” The Bible was written in three languages: Hebrew (Old Testament), Chaldee (por- tion of Daniel), and Greek (New Testament). The Bible that we have today is a translation of the Hebrew, Chaldee, and Greek writings into our language. There are many transla- tions of the Bible, the most popular being the King James Version, which you probably own. The Word “Hell” in the King James Version There are four words in the KJV translated “hell.” Of these four words, only one of them is used in the Old Testament. That word is the Hebrew word “Sheol.” In the New Testament, the three words translated “hell” are “hades,” “gehenna,” and “tartarus,” all Greek words. What do these words mean? 1. The Hebrew word “sheol” is translated as follows. “Hell”—31 times, as in Psalm 9:17: “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” “Grave”—31 times, as in Ecclesiastes 9:10: “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” “Pit”—3 times, as in Job 17:16: “They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.” But actually, the Hebrew word “sheol” does not mean either “hell,” “grave,” or “pit.” It means “the unseen world” or “the place of departed spirits.” Notice how it is de- fined: Strong’s Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary says that “sheol” is “the world of the dead.” Young’s Analytical Concordance says that “sheol” is “the unseen state.” Smiths Bible Dictionary says that “sheol” is “always the abode of departed spirits.” Fausset’s Bible Dictionary and Encyclopedia says that “sheol” is “the common re- ceptacle of the dead.” So sheol does not strictly refer to hell, but to the place of departed spirits, irrespec- tive of whether saved or lost.
  • Heaven Is God's Kingdom

    Heaven Is God's Kingdom

    Conclusion to the Spiritual Universe What is the Spiritual Realm? The spiritual realm is an invisible universe inhabited by spiritual beings, some good and some evil, with intelligence and emotions. The invisible world and physical world are in constant interaction with each other. What is God’s place in the Spiritual Realm? God is the creator and ruler of the spiritual universe in all of the same ways that He is in the physical. God is just as powerful and present in one realm as He is in the other. Who are the angels? Angels are created beings with unique characteristics and personalities. There are some who serve God and some who are in rebellion against God. Who is Lucifer? As the most beautiful and highest ranking angel, Lucifer was created to lead worship to God. That is until his own pride and arrogance made him believe that he should sit on God’s throne and be worshipped by all of creation. What is Lucifer Like? Lucifer is the enemy of God because he hates God, and he is jealous of Him. His oldest tactic is to target people because the way to get to the Father is through His children. Some of The Enemy’s Tactics: •Satan lies and twists the truth so that we doubt God and ourselves. •Satan uses weapons like pride, anger, fear, and discouragement. •Satan tempts us to sin, and then accuses us if/when we give in to sin. Some of The Enemy’s Tactics: •Satan wants people to believe that he can’t be defeated or isn’t real.
  • What Happens After Death According to the Hymns in the LSB

    What Happens After Death According to the Hymns in the LSB

    What Happens after Death According to the Hymns in the LSB What follows is meant to be proactive, meaning that I intend it to be a guide for those who write hymn texts and for those who select hymns for publication in the future, rather than a critique of texts that have been written and published in the past. I have wanted to do a study like this ever since seminary days when I heard professor Arthur Carl Piepkorn say that the laity in our Church get their theology primarily from hymns. That struck me as true then, and I think it is still true today. If it is true, then what follows should be of interest to anyone who writes hymns texts, translates them from other languages, edits earlier translations, selects hymn texts for publication, or reviews them for doctrinal correctness, as well as to everyone who uses them in worship, mediation or prayer. In my own case, before I got to the seminary, I believed that at death believers go immediately to heaven in the full sense of the word, a belief held by many of our lay people and many pastors. This is not surprising since the Book of Concord, which we believe is a correct and authoritative interpretation of the Sacred Scriptures, states: “We grant that the angels pray for us . We also grant that the saints in heaven (in coelis, im Himmel) pray for the church in general, as they prayed for the church while they were on earth. But neither a command nor a promise nor an example can be shown from Scripture for the invocation of the saints; from this it follows that consciences cannot be sure about such invocation.” (My italics.

    Who Lit the Fires of Hell? a Sermon on Matthew 5:21-37 by Nathan Nettleton, 12 February 2017 © Laughingbird.Net

    Who Lit the Fires of Hell? A sermon on Matthew 5:21-37 by Nathan Nettleton, 12 February 2017 © LaughingBird.net Message We make a devilish mistake when we project the origins of hell onto God. Jesus calls us to follow him into a new way of life that will save us from plunging into the hells of our own making. Sermon One of the many things that the new stage musical, The Book of Mormon, makes fun of is the Mormons’ beliefs about hell. But actually, the Mormons beliefs about hell are not much different from what a lot of Christians believe. Hell has not featured much in my preaching to date, and I could perhaps be accused of avoiding the topic, but I think I have to say something about it tonight. In the version of the New Testament that I mostly use (NRSV), the word “hell” appears 13 times, and three of them were in tonight’s gospel reading. If you are one of those who firmly believes that every word of the Bible is to be taken literally in its plain and simple sense, then these references to hell are definitely bad news. They certainly are for me anyway. Maybe not you. But at face value, since I have been known to call someone a fool, I am “liable to the hell of fire”, and since I haven’t either plucked out my eyes or cut off my hands which have, on occasions, been known to participate in my sinful thoughts or sinful actions, I am in danger of my whole body being thrown into hell.
