The Nature of Man and State of the Dead
The Nature of Man and State of the Dead In this study, we’re going to simply list certain facts related to the “Nature of Man,” “Death,” and the “State of the Dead” and supply the Scripture references. These three topics are very closely related, and if we don’t understand them from a scriptural perspective, then we’re not going to understand them at all. There’s a lot of confusion about this topic. I know from personal experience. About two years ago, I was challenged to really study these issues more in-depth than I had before, and my conclusions were the opposite of what I’d believed for many years prior. The truth is simple, not confusing, because God isn’t the author of confusion. I pray the Father can use this study to open your eyes.
