On this Resurrection Day, I thought it would be interesting to go into our confession of faith to study on resurrection and the state of man after death.
-The Soul/Spirit is used interchangeably in scripture. Man is flesh and spirit/soul. Death is separation, not an end to existence. (i.e. "The soul that sins shall die"); Adam died spiritually when he sinned against God, and his soul/spirit was separated from God; as well as physically kicked out of the garden.
-The destination of the souls of the righteous and the wicked experience different realms. The righteous are in paradise awaiting the redemption of their bodies in God's presence but the wicked are in utter darkness awaiting the final judgment which will take place on a day appointed by God.
