    Mr Petty, thank you for this sermon on the resurrections. I have always found the resurrections to be so encouraging - and proof that God is a merciful God - not willing that any should perish. I do have a question though. You said the doctrine of the Immortal Soul is not in the Old Testament. However, I thought Satan was preaching that to Eve when he was offering her the fruit. He said, You will not surely die. He was, of course, lying to her but he was giving her his doctrine of the immortal soul that God would not kill them. I know it was not God's doctrine but it sounds like Satan started the immortal soul lie in the Garden of Eden. Am I off base in this? :)

    Ro Lashua, You made an excellent point of asking for affirmation that the first occasion of the influence of the immortal soul was when Satan told them they wouldn't die. I agree with you.

    You are correct that Satan introduced the false idea of the immortal soul to Eve. The Old Testament doesn't contain any teachings from God's servants about an immortal soul. In fact, what they teach is the exact opposite which is that human beings are mortal.

    I'm glad you found it helpful. The resurrection doctrine is a great comfort when we lose a loved one.

    Thank you, Mr. Petty, for this comprehensive look at the true Biblical doctrine of the Resurrections. I have so many friends and family that would benefit from this sermon.
