Hum. Does not the scripture that has been quoted numerous times say "the soul that is sinning will die?"
This scripture did not say "the human or body that in sinning will die? Did it?
Did these chosen humans that are to be beside Jesus and that are saying this about these souls, not sin as humans?
But have you not heard the term expressed before ...[text shortened]... is speaking of a number or a certain amount that would fill this quota. Sound familiar?
More .. give us more, more cut and paste ... please .

Over your head huh?
2 Corinthians 5:1-10
1For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, should be dissolved, we are to have a building from God, a house not made with hands, everlasting in the heavens. 2For in this dwelling house we do indeed groan, earnestly desiring to put on the one for us from heaven, 3so that, having really put it on, we shall not be found naked. 4In fact, we who are in this tent groan, being weighed down; because we want, not to put it off, but to put on the other, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5Now he that produced us for this very thing is God, who gave us the token of what is to come, that is, the spirit.
6We are therefore always of good courage and know that, while we have our home in the body, we are absent from the Lord, 7for we are walking by faith, not by sight. 8But we are of good courage and are well pleased rather to become absent from the body and to make our home with the Lord. 9Therefore we are also making it our aim that, whether having our home with him or being absent from him, we may be acceptable to him. 10For we must all be made manifest before the judgment seat of the Christ, that each one may get his award for the things done through the body, according to the things he has practiced, whether it is good or vile.
Can you belief it? They do not seem to have changed it to agree with their idea
that the body and soul are the same. So they also have it that when this bodily
home is dissolved we Christians become present with the Lord in Heaven. They
must deny it because they are not Christians, so they do not see this applying to
themselves.
P.S. Maybe, they want all people to believe they will be in hell or the grave
awaiting the Judgment like themselves.

spoken to. I don't know what is meant by this word souls but these represent living beings who are cognizant of their situation. They also cry out to God and are reassured
