Youtube's video about ghosts.
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFgQ5gON2Zk

This video is 50% true. I will comment on the true part.

It has as its title "Ghosts ArenAt What You Think: The BibleAs
Shocking Truth".

Most people believe ghosts are dead humans contacting the living. It's portrayed that way in movies, and in books, and in videos etc. Would
loving aunt Martha come back to scare the bejeebies out of you? And if
not you, other people?

No way. So what is going on here? Who or what is that 'ghost'?
That thing is a DEMON. It pretends to be a dead human, but true Bible
students know what it is. What does the Bible say about it?

The Bible tells us that dead humans temp cease to exist. Where were
you at before you were born? You simply did not exist. And that is the
state you will return to when you die. Notice:

-- King James
Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was:
and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Your "spirit" is your life force. It is not a copy of you in a
different form. So what are the ghosts? DEMONS. Those rebellious
angels that started all sin. They want to prove God wrong so they
disobey God and change truths into lies.

But if when you die, you cease to exist, what is your hope?

A resurrection of the good and the bad:

-- King James
Acts 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also
allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the
just and unjust.

So don't be fooled by the demons pretending to be dead humans. God's
word makes it clear who they really are.

The earth is warming up.

Lies:

rCo Jesus said, rCLDo not fear those who kill the body but cannot
kill the soulrCY (Matthew 10:28, ESV). This shows the soul
continues beyond the death of the body.

rCo Jesus said it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for
Sodom and Gomorrah than for the cities that rejected Him
(Matthew 10:15; 11:22-24). Degrees of tolerability require
conscious awareness. Nonexistence does not vary by degree.

rCo Jesus also said of Judas, rCLIt would have been better for that
man if he had not been bornrCY (Mark 14:21, ESV). That cannot be
true if Judas simply ceased to exist. Nonexistence is not worse
than existence unless post-death punishment consciously occurs.

rCo Paul said, rCLWe would rather be away from the body and at home
with the LordrCY (2 Corinthians 5:8, ESV). This means the
believerrCOs soul goes to be with Christ after death.

rCo Jesus told of Lazarus who was comforted after death, while
the rich man was in torment and flame, conscious enough to
speak, remember, and feel regret (Luke 16:22rCo25). Parables and
symbols do not teach the opposite of what they mean. They
convey truth. So simply saying "parable" or "symbol" doesn't
disprove or automatically dismiss the stated fact of conscious
existence in comfort or torment after physical death. Further,
this account names actual people by name, which parables never
do.

rCo John wrote, rCLThe smoke of their torment goes up forever and
ever, and they have no rest, day or nightrCY (Revelation 14:11,
ESV). This cannot describe unconscious nonexistence.

rCo Jesus said, rCLIt is better for you to enter life crippled than
with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable firerCY (Mark
9:43, ESV). The fire is unquenchable, not momentary. An eternal
fire serves no purpose unless what it burns endures.

rCo Revelation 20:10 says the devil, the beast, and the false
prophet rCLwill be tormented day and night forever and ever.rCY It
does not say they will cease to exist.

rCo Jesus said God is rCLnot God of the dead, but of the living,rCY
referring to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Matthew 22:32, ESV),
affirming their conscious existence after death.

rCo The thief on the cross was told, rCLToday you will be with me in
ParadiserCY (Luke 23:43, ESV). Jesus did not say rCLafter
resurrection,rCY but rCLtoday,rCY showing conscious life after death.

These passages all affirm conscious existence and consequences, either
of comfort or judgment after physical death. The Bible nowhere teaches annihilation after physical death.

Satan's Witnesses promote these lies about what happens when you die, to comfort you into the false-gospel delusion that you can reject Christ as Savior, and somehow still escape conscious eternal torment without him.
Anyone who is led to believe that lie, will thereby be led to suffer the
very conscious eternal torment that Satan's Witnesses pretend their lies deliver you from.

Good News rCa

Jesus is God: christrose.news/Jesus-God.

The solitary true and saving gospel is that Christ died for our sins and
rose from the grave (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:8-9). Any
modification of this gospel is false and leads to conscious, eternal
torment in the lake of fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; John 3:36;
Revelation 14:11; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10-15). Unless you
believe Jesus is God, you will die in your sins (John 8:24).

Jesus took our place on the cross to settle our debt with God
(Colossians 2:14), and God confirmed the acceptance of this payment by
raising Him from death (Romans 1:4). Thus, God remains holy while
justifying the ungodly (Romans 3:26) and shielding them from future
wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10). This blessing is a free gift given to
those who believe (Romans 6:23). Place your confidence in Christ and
call on Him for salvation (Romans 10:9-13):
