The Soul Sleep Myth
Q: I was wondering if we are conscious after death or is ‘soul sleep’ more likely true; in Luke 16:22 I notice the beggar was ‘carried’ by the angels. What do you believe? Cathy
A: I believe what God the Holy Ghost has written for us in the Holy Bible; That God created man in His image, an eternal being (Gen. 1:26-27,2:7), that mankind broke trust with Almighty God, thereby forfeiting our birthrights as rulers of this earthly creation (Gen. Ch.3).
Concerning consciousness after death, I believe God meant exactly what He said, and what He’s written for us, it is no mystery what happens after we die physically.
