Spirit and Man
Scripture tells us that matter is created out of spirit (Gen 1: 1-26). God is Spirit. His Spirit gives Him the power to create.
And we can logically conclude that physical matter is capable of further changes. For example, we read that God created man out of the dust of the earth to which he shall return.
Gen 3:19 (KJV) In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Death is a state of unconsciousness. See the article on “what is death?” And so it can be concluded that one form of matter, the living physical man, is returned to his previous form, the dust of the earth. What happens to his spirit? Man has a spirit which was given to him by God. And the spirit of man returns to God.
Eccles 12:7 (KJV) Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

A wonderful gift from God is His Word. With estimated total sales of over 5 billion copies, the Bible is widely considered to be the best-selling book of all time.
It sells approximately 35 million copies annually, and has been a major influence on literature and history, especially in the West.
The Bible has been translated into many languages. And it continues to be translated into new languages.
It has been said that you can prove anything from the Bible. Is this really true? There have been many opinions and ideas on what the Holy Scriptures truly teach. All Christian denominations and groups have their own list of beliefs and all say their teaching comes from the Bible but almost all have different opinions on what the Bible says?
Most people have a desire to understand God and His plan, purpose,
power, and workings. Without a knowledge of God’s plan, purpose, power, and workings, many will be very frustrated trying to understand the Bible. To often people rely on the interpretations and explanations of pastors and men of theology for understanding instead of doing their own diligent research. If we search for an understanding of the purpose of God, we will be pleasantly surprised to find answers to all of our questions. The Holy Scriptures never contradict each other.
Things to consider about the Bible and its teaching:
Does the Bible teach of an ever burning hell fire for evil doers?
Does a person have an immortal soul?
Does God want to save all men but won't.
Did Jesus fail when He said He was the saviour of the world?
Did God lose the vast majority of the human race?
God created good and not evil. True?
Salvation a one shot deal and not a process. True?
Is the lake of fire and hell the same thing?
If you answered yes to some or all of these questions it may be worthwhile to read some of the articles on this web site to see if you agree or disagree.
