"...I just like to watch the world burn..."

Interesting comment. Jesus said "if you are not for me, you are against me," showing that there are no fence-sitters. So, if you do not support true Christianity then you are against it by choosing not to support it.

None of your "Hitler was a Christian" arguments prove your point. Hitler did not PRACTICE Christianity, only "his brand", which in itself is hypocritical "Christianity."

The Popes have condoned homosexuality and child abuse for centuries, repeating the mantra that only they have the authority to teach the Bible, which neither statement is true--(they neither have God's authority nor do they teach the Bible). And if you disbelieve them they threaten hellfire, another unscriptural tool for control of the masses.

The Protestant religions are also at fault, blessing the armaments and those poor men who went off to give their lives for a cause that goes directly against God and Jesus' principles as shown in the Bible.

The Crusades were the product of a religion seeking its own world rulership, with leaders who aggrandized themselves in hypocrisy, lying against the truth of the Bible. The Crusades were a product, not of true Christianity, but of adopted and adapted paganism.

The quote, "one is either a Christian or a German. One can't be both" says exactly what side Hitler stood on as far as Christianity goes--he decidedly was NOT a Christian. It explains why he so badly hated Jehovah's Witnesses as well, imprisoning thousands of them along with Jews, Gypsies, and homosexuals. Did I leave anyone out? He hated anyone who refused to worship him as their God, which those religious groups would not do.

Hitler did, however, have the support of Catholics, smilingly greeting the Pope. Read the book "Hitler's Pope."

Whatever Hitler "practiced" (as a "practicing Catholic") was certainly NOT Christianity. Hitler was an unrepentant mass murderer, which goes directly against true Christian practice and belief, and God's plan for the earth and humanity on it.

Many people say they get their belief in automatic immortal soul from the Bible, but that is not what the Bible teaches.

It states that no one is immortal but God himself, and now Jesus Christ, after his faithful life on earth, his death and subsequent resurrection by God (a force outside of Jesus' own life). "This Jesus God resurrected. Of that fact we are all witnesses."

Reincarnation is not an option for Bible believers.

Yes, they can be wiped out of existence. That is exactly what God told Adam--that if he chose to disobey, he would die/lose his life. Recall the principle of 'eye for eye, tooth for tooth, life for life'?

"From dust you came [Adam did not exist prior to his creation on earth from the dust of the earth] and to dust you shall return." [After Adam died, the whole of him returned to the dust from which he was made, never to be resurrected again--yes wiped out of existence]

Adam chose to disobey, so he did indeed lose all of his life and was wiped out of existence.

There was no option offered to Adam to be reincarnated and maybe do better next time; no option offered to go into some spirit life and live somewhere else, in heaven or hell.

Not even the incorrigibly wicked go to that kind of hell. They die completely, just like Jesus did and everyone else does, as Job knew in Job 14, awaiting the time when God would "have a longing for the work of your hands" and resurrect him.

See Ecclesiastes 9:5-10 for a complete look at what happens when a person dies. These verses completely wipe out any possibility of a spirit medium contacting someone who has actually died--she is really contacting demons (1 Corin. 11:14 Satan can appear as an angel of light), who are mimicing your dead ancestors, whom they have been able to view all their lives.

Theological teaching has had a long time to become perverted, and Satan has done a really good job of it. But it's not too late to let the Bible explain itself to you. If you read something that you don't understand, keep reading, and sooner or later you will come across another verse that adds more clarity to it.

The Bible explains itself if you read it without preconceived notions.

1...Since it goes against the obvious, where does anyone get a belief that the soul automatically continues to live?

Genesis 1, Satan said o the woman, "You won't DIE..." That is where, and that is the big lie.

People are all egotistical in varying degrees, and simply do not WANT to believe that when they die they are truly dead.

2...If a person dies, the only hope to become alive again is the resurrection from the dead, as Jesus taught and demonstrated with Lazarus. Lazarus did not come back to life and give an accounting of the things he experienced while he was unconscious because he was totally dead..

3...And even when Paul said, 'to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, there is STILL a resurrection from death, because the same book that gave Paul's words also states unequivocally that the soul is indeed subject to death.

Jesus taught resurrection.

Job 14 shows the same thing--that when a person dies, they MUST have an outside force working to make them alive again, and it is not automatic. God's power is what does it.

4...The term "immortal soul" does not appear anywhere in the Bible with regard to humans, but the Bible shows throughout that souls are subject to death (Ezekiel 18:4)

5...The person becoming unconscious in an NDE has not lost so much life that he cannot be resuscitated. People have similar NDEs because all people share similarities in our brain structure and subconscious mind.

6...The same Bible also says that eternal life is a reward for righteous ones, and destruction is the reward for disobedience. (Romans 6:7, 23; Psalm 37:11, 29; Proverbs 2:21)

7...I do agree that science theories today do make room for the existence of angels and God. We can see our bodies because of their density. But spirit bodies may very well exist in a much less dense form, and that is why we cannot see them.

Yes, it is a form of dream.
