out there knows that Adventists teaches death as a sleep. No wings, no flying
parts of the body at death. ---Moses too.
He described the death of Abraham and himself and Aaron as gathered with his
people. ---Gathered in
heaven? No. Moses was resurrected by God singularly and taken to heaven. God
did it. ---Does it mean
God resurrect everyone who is buried and taken them to heaven also? No. Paul is
clear that Resurrection is at the shout of the Last Trumpet in 1 Corinthians

anything just to satisfy their audience. They create scenarios. ---David died
and “rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David” (1Kings 2:10).
The fathers rest. Rest means sleep-death or death as a sleep. Knows nothing and
then open the eyes at Resurrection morning.
