Sabbath School 2022, Q4 lesson 9 Contrary Passages? Day 1

BIBLE PASSAGES HARD TO UNDERSTAND. We have insisted that humans are naturally mortal (subject to death) and God is immortal (not subject to death). At Jesus’ return, then and only then will the righteous dead and righteous living experience immortality. But there are a few passages in the Bible that may lead one to believe the lie Satan told in the Garden of Eden “you shall not surely die” or the lie that the unrighteous will live eternally in a forever-burning hell. How are these difficult passages to be reconciled?
This series addresses the concerns we all have: the concern for sin, evil, death, dying, and what happens after we die. Is there hope after death? When God created us, humans, he intended for us to live forever in a loving, peaceful relationship with him. But this relationship has been broken by sin.
Here, we address the origin of sin and look more closely at death and dying.
But, instead of looking at death negatively, we look at it in the context of hope, the promised hope based on what Jesus did for us when he died and came back to life again.
