“After the Old Testament, the story becomes complicated. Second Temple Judaism, the Jewish religion between the Testaments, developed at least three different views of the afterlife.20 One, held by the Sadducees, emphasizes bodily life in this world and does not envision future resurrection or any significant afterlife. Sheol—also called Hades—is the final destination of all. Another view, probably influenced by Plato’s philosophy, affirms an immortal soul without bodily resurrection. A third doctrine, developed from the Old Testament by the Pharisees and some rabbis, affirms both that disembodied souls or spirits exist after death and that bodily resurrection will occur at the coming of the Messiah.” (Volume 13, Number 2, Page 37)
“In sum, to understand and evaluate the current debate about body and soul, we must consider three competing doctrines of the afterlife in the light of Scripture: intermediate state-resurrection, immediate resurrection, and non-existence-resurrection.” (Volume 13, Number 2, Page 34)
“Other Christian scholars advocate complementarism, the idea that Scripture and science do not conflict because they address different topics or approach the same topics in different ways.” (Volume 13, Number 2, Page 35)
“ because how we hear the word of God determines our destiny.” (Volume 13, Number 3, Page 53)
“Jesus’ parabolic teaching is a sowing of the Word in the world. This Word from God is simultaneously a message of judgment on the unbelieving and a word of hope and blessing for the believing. The Word both reveals and conceals and in the process it performs a great separation of all people (cf. Heb 4:12), based on their response to the Son, the Incarnate Word.” (Volume 13, Number 3, Page 18)
