State of the Dead!

Verse 29 and 34 are crystal-clear that David, a man after Jehovah's own heart is not in Heaven but rather in the grave. This goes against the false immortal soul doctrine of the Catholic Church which many protestants and evangelicals hold to. David's hope was that his soul (I.e. a body due to the meaning of soul being "a living being" hence a dead being means "a dead soul") would not be left in the grave making refrence to a future ressurection of the dead. This was always the hope of the Old covenant Saints and also of the early assemblies of Messiah (See 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). Also, read John 11:23-24 where Martha converses with Jehoshua regarding her hope and comfort that her brother Lazarus would rise at the last day. Notice that her comfort wasn't in her brother's soul floating around in Heaven as a spirit creature. Jehoshua did not correct Martha's understanding of the state of the dead. This scripture also clearly refutes the false pre trib rapture doctrine as it clearly states that the resurrection of the Saints is at the last day. The teaching that our souls live apart from our body after we die is a pagan teaching that originates from Ancient Babylon. This immortal soul doctrine carried on through various pagan cultures such as Egypt,  Greece and the Roman sun cults. The Catholic Church then adopted this pagan teaching of the immortal soul in order to control the assembly of believers in Messiah. They clearly ignored 1 Timothy 6:16, which states that only The Son conferred upon by His Father has immortality. The Son dwells in the light which no man can see. That light is the Father Jehovah and every visible appearing of Jehovah in the old testament was actually the pre existent Messiah. Only The Father Jehovah has innate immortality and he confers this upon His Son Jehoshua who dwells im His Father's light. We as believers have conditional immortality if we receive eternal life by calling on the name of the Father Jehovah and The Son Jehoshua. Unbelievers who die In their unbelief do not receive the gift of eternal life or conditional immortality hence they perish (Die) at the second death in the Lake of Fire right here on earth after the second resurrection.

ACTS 2:22-36 (RSB)

2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Yahshua of Nazareth, a man approved of Elohim among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which Elohim did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of Elohim, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have impaled and slain:

2:24 Whom Yahweh hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

2:25 For David speaketh concerning him, I FORESAW YAHWEH ALWAYS BEFORE MY FACE, FOR HE IS ON MY RIGHT HAND, THAT I SHOULD NOT BE MOVED:

2:26 THEREFORE DID MY HEART REJOICE, AND MY TONGUE WAS GLAD; MOREOVER ALSO MY FLESH SHALL REST IN HOPE:

2:27 BECAUSE THOU WILT NOT LEAVE MY SOUL IN THE GRAVE, NEITHER WILT THOU SUFFER THINE HOLY ONE TO SEE CORRUPTION.

2:28 THOU HAST MADE KNOWN TO ME THE WAYS OF LIFE; THOU SHALT MAKE ME FULL OF JOY WITH THY COUNTENANCE.

2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that Elohim had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Messiah to sit on his throne;

2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Messiah, that his soul was not left in the grave, neither his flesh did see corruption.

2:32 This Yahshua hath Yahweh raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of Elohim exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: BUT HE SAITH HIMSELF, YAHWEH SAID UNTO MY MASTER, SIT THOU ON MY RIGHT HAND,

2:35 UNTIL I MAKE THY FOES THY FOOTSTOOL.

2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that Elohim hath made that same Yahshua, whom ye have impaled, both Master and Messiah.

1 Timothy 6:16 (KJV)

16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

John 11:23-24. (RSB)

11:23 Jehoshua saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

John 3:16 (RSB)

3:16 For Jehovah so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
