WHY DOES THE HUMAN SPIRIT LEAVE THE BODY AND WHAT HAPPENS TO IT ?

 

Why does the human spirit, the breath of life, leave the body ?  The human body is composed of matter, the dust of the ground.  Dust has no life in it.  The human spirit animates the body or gives the appearance of life as long as the spirit is in the body.  James said,

 “As the body without the spirit is dead” James 2:26 

 The human spirit was designed by GOD to need a body because without a body the spirit cannot function in any way.  The human spirit operates through the brain, which is the interface between our spirit and our body.  Our senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell are transmitted from the body through the brain to our spirit and visa versa .  If any of these 5 senses is destroyed then our spirit no longer has that sense.  If your eyes are put out you no longer see because that sense no longer transmits the information through the brain to your spirit.  The same is true for all of the other senses.  A dead person has no senses at all, have you ever seen a dead person do anything ?  Your human spirit is what keeps the body functioning but if your body becomes too severely damaged the spirit can no longer keep the body functioning and leaves the body to go back to GOD.  

Ecclesiastes 12:7 “and the spirit returns to GOD who gave it.” 

This disembodied spirit cannot function without the body just as the body cannot function without the spirit.  In the first resurrection this disembodied spirit is joined to a spirit body and you are alive again forever.  The Genesis account in chapter 1 verse 27 says GOD created man in HIS own image, 

“So GOD created man in HIS own image.”

 So, what is GODS image, likeness or form.  The Hebrew word for image is Strongs article H6754 “Tselem” it means a phantom, illusion, representative figure, vain show.  Therefore a human is a poor or incomplete copy of GODS image.  GODS image is spirit. 

 John 4:24 “GOD is spirit”

GOD is not flesh and blood but we humans have a spirit and this is how we are in GODS image.  GOD is not dust with a spirit, HE is totally spirit and that is what the potential for humanity is, to become spirit as GOD is spirit.  GOD requires no breath of life as we do and neither do the angels.  This body of flesh cannot inherit the kingdom of GOD. 

 1 Corinthians 15:50 “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of GOD”

Therefore if our body of flesh cannot inherit the kingdom then what part of us does ?  The human spirit inherits the kingdom of GOD.  It’s the spirits of just men made perfect not their fleshly body.  

Hebrews 12:23 “To the general assembly and church of the first born which are written in heaven and to GOD the judge of all and to the spirits of just men made perfect.”

Many people do not understand any of this.  There are various beliefs as to what happens after we die.  The truth about death is that there is no life of any kind after death except a resurrection from the dead at the return of Christ.  Scripture says we must be changed,

 1 Corinthians 15:51 “Listen, I will tell you a mystery: we will not all sleep (die) but we will all be changed….” 

Changed in what way ? We are changed from flesh to spirit.  If this fleshly body we have is destroyed we have another body composed of spirit that at the resurrection of the dead when Jesus returns is joined with our human spirit that went back to GOD when we died. Our spirit is unconscious until placed into the spirit body. There is a natural body of flesh and there is a spirit body. 

 1 Corinthians 15:44 “it is sown a natural body, it is resurrected a spiritual body.” 

 This is when we will truly be in GODS image.  There are people that say Jesus today in heaven is glorified flesh, but how does scripture describe Jesus? 

 1 Corinthians 15:45 “the last Adam became a life giving spirit.”  

Scripture also says this,

 1 John 3:2 “we know when Christ appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” 

 2 Corinthians 3:18 “And we all with unveiled faces contemplate the Lords glory are being transformed into his image with ever increasing glory…”   

Romans 8:29 “Those who GOD for new HE also predestined to be conformed to the image of HIS son …”.

   So then, if Jesus is a life giving spirit now and we are going to be changed to be like him in the resurrection at his return then we are going to become spirit beings.  Until that day comes if we are dead we are totally unconscious and unaware but once our human spirit is placed into that spirit body we will live again forever.  

BROTHER KEL IS WRONG WHEN HE SAYS THAT HUMANS ARE NOTHING BUT LIVING DUST AND WE ARE NOT SPIRIT

 “What will you gain if I die, if I sink into the grave? Can my dust praise you? Can it tell of your faithfulness? Psalm 30:9  Dust cannot do anything.  

Ephesians 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind.  Your human spirit is your mind, it is the real you.  The dust is only the temporary earthen vessel in which the treasure of your knowledge of GODS truth is stored in your human spirit.

  2 Corinthians 4:6-7

 . 6  For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  7  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

 God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you.  Romans 1:9

 But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding. Job 32:8

Here Job says that the human spirit is our understanding, therefore our consciousness and knowledge as long as we have a body to function in.

Paul said the same thing.  1 Corinthians 2:11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them?

 Blessed is the one whose sin the LORD does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit. Psalm 32:2

Proverbs 20:27
The spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD, searching out his inmost being. 

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit (not dust) that we are God’s children.  Romans 8:16

 

“Therefore I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.  Job 7:11

  Then Mary said:“My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! Luke 1:46-47

Even Jesus had a human spirit.

Luke 23:46 Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, "Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit." ...

All human beings have a human spirit. Dust has no mind, cannot think, cannot sin. It is the human spirit that sins.  Dust cannot inherit the kingdom of GOD.  Even sin is not of the dust but of the defiled human spirit. The man who was committing adultery with his fathers wife, what did Paul say ? To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 1 Corinthians 5:5

This spirit Paul refers to is the human spirit. The human spirit lives in a temporary dwelling or house or tent. 2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an everlasting house in heaven, not built by human hands.

2 Peter 1:13-14
I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body, / because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

The outer self is the dust, the human spirit is the inner self, the real person.

2 Corinthians 4:16
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.

 1 Corinthians 15:42-44
So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable. / It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. / It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

This is what I have been trying to show you. A human being is not just "living dust" as Kel says. A human being is a spirit in a mortal body of dust. This human spirit is the real us.  Life is not in dust or the fleshly body, John 6:63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.

Kel understands that the soul is the union of dust and breath or body and spirit but where he goes wrong is in crediting the dust with what is the function of the spirit.   In this Kel is thinking physically or carnally. Consider the story of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4:16 “Let his mind change from that of a human And let an animal’s mind be given to him, And let seven periods of time pass over him. The mind or heart is the spirit of man. We need to have the mind of Christ in us, that is the way Christ thought which guided everything he said and did.

Nebuchadnezzars body remained the same, it was his spirit that was changed from that of a human to an animal.  This shows that it is the spirit of any animal including the animal man that makes them what they are, not their bodies. The mind is the spirit of man or animal. The reverse of this would be when Balaams donkey spoke to him in Numbers 22:28 Then the LORD opened the donkey’s mouth, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you that you have beaten me these three times?”

In the first resurrection the saints will be spirit beings as their unconscious spirit that went back to GOD at death is put into a spirit body and then the saints are immortal, this is how this mortal must put on immortality, 

1 Corinthians 15:50-53

50 Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

Take note, if the dust is still in the ground, and Kel says we are nothing but dust, then the above scripture would be wrong. Kel is the one who is wrong. Paul said in this same chapter that there is a spirit body, Paul also said that if this earthly body is destroyed we have another body in heaven for us, a spirit body. Peter said his earthly tent laid aside.  

What further proof do you need ?

THE TRANSFIGURATION

 

The transfiguration begins in Matthew 16:28 “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the son of man coming in his kingdom.” 

Then 6 days later Jesus took Peter, James and John up a high mountain and there Jesus was transfigured before them.  Then appeared before them Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus.  Matthew 17:1-3

Some say this is proof that the dead are conscious and alive and could engage in conversation with Jesus.  This event was actually the continuation of the comment made by Jesus in Matthew 16:28   This was a vision of Jesus in his kingdom as Matthew 17:9  plainly says. “Do not tell anyone about this vision…”

As you should know the kingdom did not arrive.  The transfiguration was a vision of the kingdom and you should also know that the first resurrection takes place at the arrival of the kingdom.  Therefore in this vision Moses and Elijah have been resurrected from the dead and glorified.  The idea they were dead but yet conscious is grossly inaccurate and displays a serious lack of spiritual understanding.  The division between chapters 16 and 17 tends to give the false impression that the last verse in chapter 16 has nothing to do with the events in chapter 17 when read by a someone attempting to prove immediate life after death.   This is very common among carnal thinkers.  For those intent on believing in the lie of immediate life after death this explanation of the transfiguration will not be accepted.  For GODS elect this is the true explanation as the spirit of the FATHER has revealed to us. There is no life, no consciousness after death and the only way to be conscious and alive again is by a resurrection from the dead.  This is the true doctrine of GOD.

 Hebrews 6:2 “of the doctrine of baptisms, laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and everlasting judgment.”

Strongs Concordance article G1322 “didache” means teaching, doctrine or instruction.  

There is no amount of proof I can give that will convince anyone that what I have written here is true, only the FATHER can do that.  

MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR

 

TO ALL OF YOU WHO READ THIS BLOG. 

IF YOU HAVE A SUBJECT THAT YOU WOULD LIKE ADDRESSED LET ME KNOW BELOW IN THE COMMENTS.  

THE INCREDIBLE HUMAN POTENTIAL

 

Currently in this evil world Satan and the demons rule the Earth.  Satan is the Elohim or god of this world and the demons under him have been given rulership over assigned parts of the Earth.  GOD ALMIGHTY permits this because Adam chose Satan over GOD.  Remember that Satan offered Jesus all the kingdoms of Earth because GOD had given them to Satan and he could give them to whoever he wanted.  This Satanic rule of the Earth changes when Jesus returns.  The kingdoms of this world then will belong to Jesus and the elect saints of GOD.  Each saint will be given rulership over a part of the Earth the size of which is determined on how many talents they have gained which is symbolic of how well they submitted their life to GOD and Christ while yet still human.  Paul compared this to one star differing in glory from another.  Some saints will have more glory than others in the resurrection.  The more a person has diligently sought GOD the greater is the reward, the glory. The saints in that day will become the Elohim, the gods of this world.  Jesus quoted scripture saying, “I said you are gods”, and another scripture says that GOD is the GOD of gods.  Jesus as a human was an Elohim, a god.  This fact is why we worship Jesus, not as GOD, but as a god, an Elohim and the worship of Jesus is not the worship of GOD, it is the worship of the messiah the son of GOD.  There are different types of worship but the greatest is the worship of GOD.  Worship is made in accordance to the one being worshipped, we do not worship Jesus in the same way as we worship GOD. 

With this in mind, the people we will rule and teach in the millennium will worship us as gods, as the Elohim, not as GOD.  The prophet Micah wrote about this.  The incredible human potential is to become one of these Elohim, a son of the living GOD. Are we not being transformed now to be in the image of Christ who was the image of GOD ?  This is what Jesus was as a man on Earth. This is what our hope is about, what the promise is about as today we are only heirs not yet inheritors of these things.  The timing of the receipt of all these things is at the return of Jesus Christ but until that last day we are dead, not alive, and need to be made alive again and this is by a resurrection.  Until that day comes we have none of these things.  

Now, if the carnal world believes other things than what I described above then those things are lies.  The general rule of the spirit is, that whatever the carnal world believes is an abomination to GOD. Therefore look at what they teach and believe knowing that none of it is true.  If you have ever learned anything learn this.  Do not look for truth where there is none or life where there is none but look at spiritual things wherein are both. 

It is written that eye has not seen, ear has not heard, neither has it entered into our minds what GOD has prepared for the saints. To us, the true church of the elect of GOD have been given the mysteries of the kingdom of GOD, but they have not been given to this carnal world.  If , you In anything believe , is the same as the carnal world then you are deceived.  Are you not the one who is supposed to know the mysteries that is impossible for them to know ?  Then you need to examine yourself to see if you are indeed in the faith or not.  Humble yourself, repent, ask for forgiveness and correction and GOD will receive you.  A broken spirit and contrite heart GOD will not despise.  

THE DRAGON THE ANTICHRIST AND THE TEN KINGS

 

In a previous article I made a comment about the spirit beings that inhabit the spirit realm.  In a search of all the scriptures up to the ascension of Christ there were only two kinds of spirits in the heavenly realm; angels and GOD ALMIGHTY.  No other spirit beings are ever mentioned.  Therefore, if Jesus preexisted he had to be one of these two. Either Jesus was an angel or he was GOD.  From these two possibilities come the Jehovahs Witnesses idea that Jesus preexisted as the arch angel Michael or the Trinitarian or binary idea that Jesus was GOD.  Both of these ideas are incorrect.  This blog presents Jesus as the messiah and son of GOD who was totally human and was created by GOD in the womb of Mary.  Jesus was not immortal because he died.  Up until the time Jesus ascended to his GOD and FATHER Jesus was human. At some point during his ascension Jesus was changed into an immortal spirit being.  Jesus is no longer a human being.  Jesus was the first human to experience this change and as such Jesus is the beginning of the true creation of GOD. We elect saints in the resurrection also become immortal spirit beings in the resurrection at the return of Christ.  The scriptures tell the saints that they are a new creation in Christ looking forward to this first resurrection.  The physical creation we are in now was only the beginning of this process , the place where GOD gets the raw material to complete HIS creation of the spirits of just men made perfect.  Jesus is the first born of many brethren, the beginning of GODS true creation.  Even as a human Jesus was not of this creation, he was what Adam should have been but failed to be.  Adams FATHER was GOD and Jesus’s FATHER was GOD.  There are other brothers that have a “similar” situation in scriptures that compare to Adam and Jesus; Cain and Abel, Isaac and Ishmael, Esau and Jacob and the 11 brothers and Joseph.  Of these brothers the first born was never the heir until Jesus and Jesus became the heir of everything GOD created.  There is also the idea of a brother raising up seed to his dead brother as Jesus raised up seed for Adam because Adam died in sin.  Eve became the church, the bride of Christ.  As in Adam all die but in Christ shall all be made alive.  

When Jesus ascended to GOD he became a spirit being and is no longer a human being.  This is how Jesus is the beginning of the creation of GOD, not the physical creation but the spiritual creation.  

Now, I just received a revelation.  The antichrist is a man in league with Satan.  The antichrist imitates Christ and gets all his power from the dragon, Satan.  The antichrist has people worshiping a strange god that his fathers didn’t know. 

Daniel 11:38-39  But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver with precious stones and pleasant things.  He will attack the strongest fortresses with help from a strange god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him(the strange god). He will make them rulers over many people and will divide the land for a price. 

You see how that the antichrist imitates Christ while Satan imitates GOD.  Who did Lucifer and his angels attempt to dethrone, was it not GOD, it wasn’t Christ was it ?  Satan doesn’t want to be Christ, he wants to be GOD.  Isaiah 14:14  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the most high.

Satan has the same goal in Revelation as he did in Isaiah.  Satan uses a man who he backs up the way GOD used a man (Jesus) who HE backed up. 

Revelation 13:4  People worshiped the dragon (Satan) who gave authority to the beast (antichrist) and they worshipped the beast saying, who is like the beast ? Who is able to make war with him ?  

Psalm 81:9  There shall be no strange god be in thee, neither shall thou worship any strange god.

The faithful allies of Satan that receive land from the antichrist may well be the ten kings who receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast.

In the real plan of GOD doesn’t GOD give authority to Jesus and under Jesus are not other kings appointed to rule the Earth ?  Satan is copying GODS plan.  Just as we rule as kings with Jesus these ten kings rule as kings with the beast, the antichrist. The Dragon, the antichrist and the 10 kings are a false image of GOD, Christ and the saints. Just as GOD ordained the saints rule and reign with Jesus the Dragon ordains the 10 kings will rule and reign with antichrist.

This is all I have for now but I am sure more revelation will come.  

ANTHONY AND THE ATHEIST

 

Recently I was on a web site of a man who was formerly a minister in a “Christian” church.  Upon discovering the truth that there is no immediate life after death and the truth about a resurrection from the dead this man became an atheist. This man denied the existence of GOD because of the lies of men like his former self. This man used scripture in his article to prove the resurrection of the dead at the return of Jesus Christ and that the dead have no consciousness until resurrected.  He had learned a biblical truth but failed to realize the significance of it.  Instead he placed the blame for the lies on GOD rather than the Satanically Inspired men who preached them.  His conclusion is obviously false.  He has exchanged one lie for another.  On his site he welcomes other atheists to join in on his blasphemy.  This is a common occurrence with atheists who happen to stumble on some biblical truth that contradicts current teachings in false Christianity.  There are yet others, who upon discovering a truth, use it as the foundation for their own ministry like Anthony Buzzard does.  Anthony Buzzard has several truths but mixes them with outright lies thus rendering everything he preaches a lie because no lie is of the truth.  The difference between this atheist and Anthony Buzzard is that the atheist gave up on GOD totally while Anthony did not.  The atheist at least gave up on lying about GOD while Anthony did not.  Wow, what a confusing mess.  I know people that have fallen for the lies of worldly preachers, preachers like this former atheist.  They are all ministers of Satan.  Even this atheist is still a minister of Satan.  Thankfully neither this atheist or Anthony Buzzard are converted men and are without the Holy Spirit because their spiritual ignorance spares them from the unpardonable sin. An atheist cannot grow in spiritual grace and knowledge and neither does Anthony.  It seems that both of these men, even while having drastic differences, arrive at the same result.  Neither one of them has GOD and Christ because both have succumbed to the influence of Satan. This is the world we saints live in today without being a part of it.  When you think about it both Anthony and the atheist must have faith to believe what they believe even though they both believe in lies.  

COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM

 

There is a lot of discussion today about communism and socialism.  I find it odd that there seems to be much debate over the differences between the two.  I have studied both of these political ideas and find significant differences in them.  Socialism is in effect the ownership of everything by the state with an elite class ruling over everyone else.  It is more like a totalitarian dictatorship whereas true communism involves ownership of all things equally shared by all in a classless society.

 In my view there has never been a true communist nation in all of history.  All past and current nations described as being communist are in reality socialist dictatorships.  Here in the U.S. there is a move or change of thought by many to accept socialism and abandon capitalism.  It is a proven historical fact that socialism has never worked as it always seems to develop into a cruel dictatorship.  Examples of this are the former Soviet Union, North Korea, Cuba and China.  Each of these nations are popularly labeled as communist but in reality are far away from what communism is.  Socialism makes promises to the public that seem to good to be true because they are.  Those who push socialism present it as making everyone equal under the benevolent rule of an trusted elite.  The idea at first seems very appealing but the eventual reality is far from all the promises of those who push the idea. 

Ignorance is the problem along with lazy people who want to live the good life without working.  The problem is that the things desired must somehow be produced and provided and it turns out that these things are produced by the duped masses to benefit the elite ruling class. 

 In the U.S. today the movement toward socialism is growing and if it succeeds it will be the destruction of the nation.  To return to the former politics of capitalism and the rights under the constitution would require the shedding of much blood.  It seems that over time with the passing of generations people forget the lessons of history and are doomed to repeat them.

  In truth most humans are stupid and none of them have the intelligence to govern themselves.  History is a record of human failure to govern themselves and they fail time after time.  The only true answer to this hopeless situation is the kingdom of GOD.  

REVELATION 8:3-4 REVELATION 5:8 PSALM 141:2 REVELATION 6:9-10 ACTS 10:4 LUKE 1:10

Revelation 8:3-4   And another angel came and stood at the altar having a golden censer and there was given to him much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

Revelation 5:8   Each had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense which are the prayers of the saints. 

Revelation 6:9-10   And when the Lamb opened the 5th seal I saw under the altar the (spirits see Strongs G5590) of those who had been slain because of the word of GOD and for the testimony they had upheld.  And they cried out in a loud voice, how long oh Lord holy and true until you judge those who dwell upon the earth and avenge our blood ?  

Now, many people think this crying out of the saints from under the altar were actually living dead people, if that makes any sense.  It specifically says it was the prayers of these martyrs, prayers made while they were still alive.  Psalm 115:17  Psalm 6:5   Isaiah 38:18-19  These prayers are incense before GOD.  

Psalm 141:2  May my prayer be set before you like incense, May the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice. 

This is showing us that GOD was about to answer their prayers.  In the next verse, verse 11 these martyrs are given white robes and that they wait in death a little longer until the number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters in Christ, were killed as they were.  These others are the Laodiceans who must give their lives as martyrs to receive salvation in the kingdom.  Revelation 7:9-14 is the account of the Laodicean martyrdom.  Revelation 19:8 tells us that white robes or linen symbolizes the righteousness of the saints.  Isaiah 61:10 confirms this.  I have proven in other articles that sleep is used as a metaphor for death because in normal sleep you are unconscious and unaware and you need to wake up to rejoin the conscious and aware, to live again after dying you are alive and aware again only by a resurrection at the return of Jesus.  

I have been writing a lot on this subject of life and death because I was unaware of certain people I know that believe in the lie of immediate life after death.  The resurrection is a church doctrine, see Hebrews 6:2, and never changes until the time far in the future where death is cast into the lake of fire.  

I have presented on this blog overwhelming spiritual proof that our only hope to live again after we die is by a resurrection at Christs return.   GOD reveals truth and truth is doctrine that is the same, GOD doesn’t keep changing doctrine, we should know this.  When Adam sinned the tree of life that gave immortality was shut off from humanity and is not opened again until Revelation 22:14  Revelation 2:7  The valley of dry bones in Ezekiel 37 describes the second resurrection when all of the house of Israel will live again.

Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

 

 Heb 11:35

Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

 

 1Pe 1:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

 

 1Pe 3:21

The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

 

 Rev 20:5

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

 

 Rev 20:6

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

 Resurrection means to be raised to life again after being dead.  This means that in death there is no life.  The resurrection proves that immediate life after death is a lie.  The resurrection is doctrine, Hebrews 6:2   Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

The resurrection to life happens at the last day, the return of Christ. John 6:39  And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.

Anyone who thinks that life after death is immediate is deceived.
