Answer 1

JW's are not Christian. That is clear proof alone. They are decieved by the leadership of that cult. They are forbidden to study outside the cult aproved dogma.

Those of The Christian Faith have the certain knowledge that they indeed have eternal life.( John 3:16-17) And we have free will to study as we wish. But knowing what we do as believers we of course believe our source. God Himself. We do not follow the words of any mortal man. But we read and know of religions of man we just do not accept them.

Eccl. 9:5, 10: "5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 10  All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in hell or She′ol, the place to which you are going."

Eccl. 9:6: “Their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.”

Hell is the grave.

Psalms 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts [“thoughts,” King James Version, 145:4 in Dyers; “all his thinking,” New English Version; “plans,” Revised Standard Version, NAB] do perish.”

Ezekiel 18:4: “The soul [“soul,” Revised Standard Version, New English Version, King James Version, Dyers, Knox; “man,” JB; “person,” Today's English Version] that is sinning—it itself will die.”

Please note: Jehovah's Witnesses compare several versions and translations of The Holy Scriptures, although the primary Edition we use is the New World Translation - a modern, simple, and highly accurate translation of The Holy Writings. Several other Versions are aforementioned, such as the King James Version. However, a version is much different than a translation. A version is some person's idea of an account, like what is your version of the story? In stark contrast, a translation is transliterated from the Hebrew and Greek words found in the ancient scrolls.

Besides Eccl. 9:5, God told Adam he would return to dust, Gen.3:19.

Jesus calls the first death death *sleep*. This is because there is a resurrection, whereby one wakes up. There is not resurrection after the second death however. Matthew 9:24, John 11:11, Rev.20:14,15. Aso at Daniel 12:13 the angel told Daniel to *rest*, and that he would stand up for his lot, at the end of the days.

Jesus was the firstborn from the dead; Rev.1:5. Even though there were a few who were resurrected like Lazarus, they had to die again. Jesus is the first man to be raised to eternal life.

Paul spoke of those sleeping in death; 1 Thess. 4:13-18. Here he speaks of raising those who died with the heavenly hope first, then the living ones who survive to the presence/coming of the Lord would be next, apparently at the same time. This is called the first resurrection in Rev. 20:4-6.

Daniel 12:1-3 speaks of many in the ground of dust waking up after the tribulation. Rev. 20:12-15 speaks of the resurrection of mankind, with judgment to either the second death, or not, if found in the book of life.

The Jewish people believed in the resurrection. Martha told Jesus that she knew that Lazarus would rise on the last day. Also, Hebrews 11 describes many faithful ones who died before Christ and are awaiting a resurrection. Acts 2:34 says David did not ascend to heaven.

At John 5:25-29 Jesus explains that he will call all out of the memorial tombs.

Even though Abraham and Isaac and Jacob had died, God calls all the dead *living*, if they died faithful, and are in the book of life, because he will give them life upon their resurrection; Hebrews 11:35.

Isaiah 38:18 For it is not Sheol/hell that can laud you, death itself cannot praise you. Those going down into the pit cannot look hopefully to your trueness. 19 The living, the living, he is the one that can laud you.

Answer 4

Ecclesiastes 12:6-7

Answer 5

Ecclestiastes The book was written from a human point of view about humanity, and is about the futility of life without God, from our own viewpoint. Like it says neigther have they any more reward, it is saying that in this life that they have no more reward. It isn't written from God's point of view but ours.
Ecc 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Answer 6

Ecclesiastes 9: 5&10 - For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.

Answer 7

I don't want to demean anyone's religion and anyone who is a Jehovah's witness can correct me as I'm not trying to be negative. They believe that there is no Heaven and that their bodies go into a "soul-sleep" and they will inherit this earth. Most of them do not want to live forever. Their Bible is modified however they also utilize versus from the KJV to justify these beliefs. They are not my own and do believe that there are two places you can go. This is just to answer your question in regards to their beliefs.

Answer 8

(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all

(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol

(Ezekiel 18:4) The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.
