The Immortal Soul

A basic teaching of the church is that God is not calling most people in this age. They are blinded from knowing the truth. Also Satan has three major doctrines that are designed to insure that they remain blind. In this sermon Mr. Smith covers one of these, the idea that man is an immortal soul. He covers the history of this doctrine and then presents what the Bible actually teaches on the nature of mankind, that we are mortal and can only obtain immortality from God.
