so what are the pros & cons of believing or not believing in mortality? ---------- Simply put-because most have been conned. (Genesis 3:4) At this the serpent said to the woman: “YOU positively will not die.." That was the first lie ever told. Since Adam & Eve did die Satan has concocted other lies by claiming man lives on in another form(soul,spirit etc). While this idea is accepted & spread by practically all religions many have been deceived into thinking this is a Bible based teaching. IT IS NOT. Pros & cons? (1 John 5:19) We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one. Accept what the Bible teaches or what the "wicked one" teaches.
