Christian Teachings
Here are some of the scripture verses that tells me that the dead sleep and have no knowledge of anything.Psalms 115:17The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.Eccles 9:5For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sunPsalms 6:5For in death there is no remembrance of you: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?Isaiah 38For the grave cannot praise you, death cannot celebrate you: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.Psalm 146His breath goes forth, he returns to the earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.Psalms 13 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;1 Corinthians 15:51Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.1 Thessalonians 4:14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.John 11:12These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleeps, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.Matthew 27:50Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 3And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.2 Samuel 7:12And when thy days be fulfilled, and you shall sleep with thy fathers.
