If we we're then how can one say God created us if to be created you must have a begining? THe bible also says the soul that sins shall die, which means annihilation.

Dear Rogue,
Man is an eternal being! We are composed of a body and a soul (spirit essence). The body is composed of biochemicals that break down and the body finally dies. But the spirit essence continues on forever because it came from God.
If God has elected a person to salvation, He gives the individual a new resurrected soul that has no sin. When that person physically dies, the body decomposes to the elements it is composed of. However the spirit returns to God and on the last day (when Christ returns) that individual will receive a resurrected body that has no sin in it-a body like the Lord Jesus Christ had when He arose from the dead.
There is no annihilation! Those who are saved go to Heaven to be with the Lord forever. Those who are not saved go to the lake of fire to be under the eternal wrath of God. The Bible says, "And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."

Well, in order for those presumptions to be true, one must first accept that the Bible is 100% acurate. Not everyone does, myself included. What if having sins "die" could mean letting them fall out of the category of "sin"? therefore, no further self judgment. I do not believe God sits in judgment, but rather we sit in judgment of ourselves, until we don't (enlightenment).
I do not accept that I am not eternal, and that I have a challenge wrapping my brain around a lack of beginning and so a lack of endings is simply logistics. It is a really big picture out there, and we have a peak at best.
So I will hold to my eternal-ness, and enjoy it.

That's correct. We are not eternal. God alone is eternal. We are merely immortal. Jesus said that those who follow Him "will never die". That's good enough for me. The souls of sinners will undergothe "second death", which means spiritual death following biological death. But that does not mean annihilation. It means separation from God forever, and therefore from everything God is the source of - goodness, joy, peace, love, beauty, etc. Which means having nothing but the opposite - evil, despair, hatred, anguish, ugliness, etc.

I don't think souls have to have an ending just because they have a beginning. God can do whatever He wants and I think He wants us to be eternal, like Him. Consider that maybe some of the things said are like analogies. "Death" could be looked at as being spiritually unaware or spiritually unawake. Christ did say at one point to let the dead bury the dead.

Yes I do realize that. Man is mortal and only the righteous will receive immortality. Those who believe that the soul of man is immortal are buying into the original lie that the serpent told Eve. "In the day you eat thereof you shall not surely die."

i'm no longer probable confident, i do no longer probable comprehend if there's a Hell or Heaven. I won't say that I do. yet i will say if there is, in line with danger it incredibly is what makes Heaven so suitable? Alot of anti-non secular human beings have tried to apply the excuse "Heaven won't be able to be suitable simply by fact there's no longer something undesirable to comprehend the type from "undesirable" and "suitable" So for heaven to be so "suitable" there could be a place it incredibly is horrid for sinners to pass. no longer for an "eternity" just to comprehend that a "Heaven" is acceptable. think of roughly it...in case you have been put in your maximum undesirable horrid nightmare ever, and had to stay there for a quantity of time...does no longer some place the precise opposite look suitable, does no longer it look like..Heaven?

The soul that dies will burn in hell for all eternity. I am thankful I am a Christian. We are eternal beings. I am going to Heaven. You could, too, by accepting Jesus into your heart by faith and following what the Bible says to do.

perhaps an eternal being may have a beginning as long as it is infinite thereafter?
