Excerpt from Letters on the Immortality of the Soul: The Intermediate State of the Dead, and a Future Retribution
In slavery to kings and tvrauts of the earth. It will be seen in the tenth letter that M r Hudson's doctrine of the immortality of the soul and its suffering and enjoying in a disembodied state, originated among the. Heathen, and was used to keep the 1gnor.1111 multitude m subjection to their rulers, and to fight their battles. Kings and priests tyrannised over them; and by the hope of future reward on the one hand, and terror of future punishment on the other, their influence and authority over the people were maintained. Enslave men's minds and you can easily enslave their bodies.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book dives into a fundamental debate that has occupied theologians and philosophers for centuries: the question of the soul's immortality. The author, in a series of letters, presents a spirited challenge to the prevalent belief in an eternal soul, arguing that such a concept is not supported by scripture and was instead adopted from ancient Greek philosophy. The book's core argument hinges on the idea that the Bible focuses on a physical resurrection, not a disembodied soul's existence after death. The author further contends that the belief in a soul's punishment after death, particularly in an intermediate state, contributes to unnecessary fear and anxiety, and detracts from the importance of Christ's resurrection as the central tenet of Christianity. Through detailed examination of scriptural passages and historical analysis, the author offers a fresh perspective on a timeless debate, encouraging readers to reconsider the foundations of their beliefs and explore alternative understandings of life, death, and salvation.
