Now the whole issue of Hell and the afterlife can be settled right here and right now with these verses.
Eccl. 9:5, 10: The living are conscious that they will die;
but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all . . . All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power,
for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol[hell], the place to which you are going.
Ps. 146:4: His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground;
in that day his thoughts* do perish.
Ezek. 18:4: The soul* that is sinning
it itself will die.
Psalm 13:3 "Do look [upon me]; answer me, O Jehovah my God.
Do make my eyes shine,
that I may not fall asleep in death,"
Eccl. 9:6: Their love and their hate and their jealousy
have already perished, and t
hey have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.
Isa. 26:14: They are dead; they will not live.
Impotent in death, they will not rise up.
