teaches that the human being is a soul (Gen. 2:7), and the soul ceases to exist
when the body dies (Ezek. 18:4, 20).” ---The Bible
does not conflict itself. There is no discrepancy. So what happen when the
Bible says the Hebrew word returns to God Who gave it? --What Hebrew
Word? “Breath” it is translated. ---Just as
Moses indicated in Genesis 2:7 and a number of places repeated by other Hebrew
writers in the Bible, God breathed in the nostrils of the person and Adam
became a living soul. ---In the Egyptian
Hymn of Aton written around 1360 AD,
50 years after Moses’ death and 100 years after his composition of Genesis in
Midian, line 20 it is stated “Who give breath to sustain all that he has made.
When he descends from the womb to breath, on the day when he is born, you open
his mouth completely”. ---If one
compares Psalm 104 with the Hymn of Aten, it seems that the Hymn of Aten was
composed by someone who was familiar with the theology of Moses, existing
already nearly 100 years before the Hymn of Aten. ---It appears
that these ideas of Moses were collected and were plagiarized and reformulated
for an Egyptian audience (in a narrow sense). ---We cannot
ignore the impact that the Exodus had upon Egyptian and colonial history. ---We cannot
avoid the popularity that Hebrew literature had in the aftermath of this event
affecting Egypt, for example, in the Hymn
of Aten. ---But the
Spirit of God is indwelling in the faithful and He just take back the breath He
gave at birth. ---The Spirit
stays here for He is working here for us. No need of carrying anything up to
heaven. ---The Spirit
was also creating with the Father and Christ when Christ was Creating. ---You see His
presence hovering over the waters in Genesis 1:1-2. ---So there is
no entity that goes up to heaven when the person dies. That is biblically clear
and solid.
