yes agree death is a sleep

Remember when they told Jesus Lazareth was dead?
Jesus said Lazareth sleeps,the bible says the dead sleep,death is described as a sleep

Here is the same topic that is on this forum and Paul addressed in his day as well,its raged throughout the history of earth

This why the bible says,This is life eternal to know the only true God,and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent

Because there are that many concepts of God,the bible clearly tells you who God and his son are,and to know this ,is life eternal

Gnosticism/the modern day new age was the early christians greatest competitor for the minds of the populace as like todays,this belief bastardises the teachings of christianity and mingles it with mysticism and spiritualises away the messages intended
