INTRODUCTION

The Bible tells us that the soul of man was marred
by sin. We were 'born in sin, shaped in iniquity, came to this world speaking lies." Yet through the blood of Jesus which was shed at Calvary, we were cleansed, sanctified and justified by God.

ROMANS 3:23-25 clearly tells us that,
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a *propitiation through faith in his *blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God."

Apostle Peter, in order for man's soul to be saved,
said in Acts 2:38 that we must, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."

Our soul was redeemed by God through the
atonement of Jesus' blood. Reverend William Branham preached this:
"Now, the SOUL's REDEEMED, because IT WAS IN SIN. So God God come down by the PROCESS of Justification, Sanctification, Baptism of the Holy Ghost, and REDEEMED YOUR SOUL."
(The Future Home/pp. 49).

THE SCRIPTURES SAY THAT THE "SOUL" IS SAVED, PURIFIED, HEALED :

JAMES 5:20 – "Let him know, that he which CONVERTETH the SINNER from the ERROR of his way SHALL *SAVE A SOUL FROM DEATH, and shall hide a multitude of sins."

PSALMS 41:4 – "I said, LORD, be merciful unto me; HEAL MY SOUL, for I have sinned against Thee."

It is very evident from the above Scriptures that the SOUL is purified, healed, redeemed and saved.

THE VALUE OF A SOUL

"Your soul is part of God, a attribute of God, displayed here on earth in a body."
(WMB, THE FUTURE HOME, 64-0802)

"You got a SOUL that's worth ten thousand worlds." That's right.
I said, "That body will go back to the dust some of these days, but you got a soul that will live forever. Take care of that." Look at the value that Jesus Christ put on it to come from glory to die to redeem you... But the MAIN THING, now, is to THE SOUL WHICH WILL NEVER DIE. The body will die, but the SOUL WILL NEVER DIE, and we must keep that level with God."
(WMB, BELIEVEST.THOU.THIS_53-0906A)

" But your souls were made up before the foundation of the world when God created man in His Own image: spirit of man; not a man in His Own image, but man in His Own image. See?"
(WMB, DEMONOLOGY.PHYSICAL.REALM_ 53-0608A)

ADAM WAS GIVEN AN ETERNAL SOUL

"But what God did, He breathed the Breath of Eternal Life, amen, then he become a living soul, a soul that can’t die.
Now watch now. We’re going to get into honey, plumb to your elbows. Notice. “Breathed the Breath of Eternal Life into his nostrils, and he became an Eternal soul."
(WMB, 62-1104M - Blasphemous Names)

THE THIRD REALM OF MAN IS THE SOUL

"There’s only one way you can get into the BODY, that’s by those five senses: see, taste, feel, smell, and hear.
On the inside of that man is a man called SPIRIT, and he has five senses: thought, and love, and conscience, and so forth.
But down on the inside of that, next realm, the THIRD REALM, is the SOUL; and that’s predestinated by God. There is where the real SEED-GERM lays, is in there."
(WMB, 65-0822M - Christ Is Revealed In His Own Word)

THE SOUL MUST BE BORN AGAIN

"A soul, good or bad, death doesn’t change it. What is a soul? It’s you. You are a soul. The part inside of you. And when you die, ever what shape that soul is in, that’s the way it goes. It goes to its destination. You couldn’t pull it up no matter how much you’d do for it, that soul got to be changed here, *borned again."
 (WMB, 61-1231M - You Must Be Born Again)

1 PETER 1:23~ Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."

THE SOUL WAS MARRED BY SIN

"And after this man sinned, he marred that soul. Blackness, darkness come into it."
(WMB, WHO.IS.GOD_ 50-0815)

ROMANS 6:23~ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

YOUR SOUL MUST BE CLEANSED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS

HERE ARE SOME DIRECT QUOTES on the "CLEANSING OF THE SOUL" by Reverend William Marrion Branham:

"Many years ago, I preached the *cleansing of the human soul* by the Blood of Jesus Christ, through sanctification."
(WMB, 54-1024 - The Unpardonable Sin)

"We pray, Father, as the Holy Spirit is here, just screaming out the blessings, *cleansing our souls* from all unrighteousness, through the Blood of the Lord Jesus, the Son of God."
(WMB, 55-0731 - The Uncertain Sound)

"Through the Blood, washing of the Blood, taking away, separating of sin, that the Holy Spirit woos the believer through the Blood, *cleansing of the soul* into the fellowship, into this Spirit Life, inside with Christ, shut out the world."
(WMB, 55-0227A - The Position Of A Believer In Christ)

"God will speak strangely to your heart, that you will accept His Sacrifice, the *cleansing of your soul.*"
(WMB, 59-0329S - Living, Dying, Buried, Rising, Coming)

"But the Blood was the first thing God recognized, it was His only preparation for the *cleansing of the soul*. And it’s the only thing that God will recognize, and the only thing that God will fellowship by, is them that’s under the Blood. “For when I see the Blood, I’ll pass, I’ll pass over you.”
( WMB, 59-0708M - Dedication Of Building, To The Lord )

"Justification, it’s Waters of separation; sanctification, *cleansing up our soul*, and when we go into the Holiest of holies where the Shekinah Glory is, by that one Spirit we are baptized into that one Body and have fellowship with God. Amen."
( WMB, 60-0611B - Fellowship)

"David spoke of the waters. The Bible said, “There is a fountain open in the house of God for the *cleansing of the soul.”
( WMB, 57-0613E - Thirsting For Life)

"A *cleansing for the soul*, a balm in Gilead for the unclean. We are so glad that the Blood of Jesus Christ in this day, that when we know that our nation is soon to be going into bits, according to Bible prophecy."
(WMB, 60-0711 - The Door Inside The Door)

"And we’re coming in Thy Presence for the *cleansing of our soul*. And we bring before us the Blood of the Lord Jesus. We’re confessing that we’re not worthy of any blessing that You would give us, but because that He died that we might obtain these blessings."
( WMB, 63-0116 - The Evening Messenger)

"When you walk through the Blood of Jesus yonder, and God has *cleansed your soul*, there’ll be another dancing party take place. The joybells of Heaven will leap up in your heart."
( WMB, 52-0810A - I Am The Resurrection And The Life)

"Until the burning Fire of the Holy Ghost has *cleansed your soul* from sin, you’re still a sinner! It’s in the heart."
(WMB, 53-0326 - Israel And The Church #2)

-----------------------------------o0O0o----------------------------------

THE SOUL HAS TWO NATURES

Brother Branham testifies that he has TWO NATURES in his soul present, saying:
"Because I was born of Charles and Ella Branham. In their *nature I was a sinner, I came to the world, a liar, and all the habits of the world laid right in me.
But down in there, too, was another *Nature present, see, predestinated, was in there by God. In this same body, see,TWO NATURES in there. Well, I only catered to one.
As it growed, I gooed as a baby, “Dad-da.” First thing you know, I become a liar, become everything else that’s a sinner, because I raised up that way. But down in there was a little SPECK of Life ALL THE TIME."
(WMB, 65-1212 - Communion)

THE "NATURE" OF YOUR "SOUL" IS GOD, IF YOU'RE BORN AGAIN

"The nature of your soul is—is God, if you’re born again. If it’s not, it’s of the world."
(WMB, 63-1110M - Souls That Are In Prison Now)

----------------------------------o0O0o-----------------------------------

There are a few groups today in the End Time Message that propagates the teaching that your “Old Soul” is Satan, and that this old soul of yours has to die and be annihilated through the process of the New Birth in order for the “New Soul” which according to them, is Christ, to dwell upon you.

This doctrine sounds quite interesting, but do we really have TWO SOULS? Is this teaching really Biblical? Is the soul really annihilated when we are born again? Or is the soul saved, purified and redeemed? If Satan is our soul, can Satan be born again?

Rev. William Branham, the messenger of this age, cautioned us about false teaching. "No matter how sincere, how educated, how smart, how true it sounds, how reasonable it sounds, if it's contrary to the Word of this hour, God will have nothing to do with it."
(Quote from WMB, ANOINTED ONES AT END TIME JEFF.IN V-5 N-3 65-0725M)

SOME KEY POINTS TO CONSIDER

(1) "TWO SOUL DOCTRINE" STATES THAT YOUR OLD SOUL MUST BE ANNIHILATED.

QUOTES:

(2) "TWO SOUL DOCTRINE" STATES THAT YOUR OLD SOUL IS SATAN.

“And Satan is not a creator. There's only one Creator. That's God. Satan perverts what God has created. But as long as you have faith in the Creator, in Him, God brings it back to its right place.”
(WMB, WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS.title SPOKANE.WA 62-0712)

"Someone ask me not long ago, said, "Isn't Satan a creator?"
I said, "No, sir. God is the only Creator there is. One Creator is God."
He said, "Well, how did evil ever get here then, if Satan didn't create it?"
I said, "Evil is not a creation. Evil... Satan cannot create, but he can pervert what God has created." See? He's not a creator. God is the Creator, but Satan perverts what God has created. And God created good, and Satan perverted it to evil.
(WMB, WHERE.I.THINK.PENTECOST.FAILED SAN.FERNANDO.CA 55-1111 )

----------------------------------o0O0o-----------------------------------

(3) "TWO SOUL DOCTRINE" STATES THAT SATAN CREATED THAT OLD SOUL IN YOU.

"Satan perverts what God has made. And He made you to be a son or daughter to Him, and Satan perverted you (See?), “changed” your way of thinking, changed your mind, changed your appetite, changed your desire. (WMB, FAITH.title PRINCE.ALBERT.SK 56-0815)

"Now, he has his kind of an Eden; Satan does now. In these six thousand years he has formed (not created), but deformed God's whole earth; his creatures, the animals, interbreeding, hybreeding, trees, plants, human; even to religion, the Bible, church, until he's got hisself a complete garden of Eden of science, everything moving by science.”
(WMB, GOD'S.POWER.TO.TRANSFORM.title PHOENIX.AZ V-16 N-5 65-0911)

----------------------------------o0O0o-----------------------------------

(4) "TWO SOUL DOCTRINE" STATES THAT YOU WERE SATAN BEFORE YOU GOT THE NEW BIRTH. YOUR CHILDREN ARE STILL DEVILS WHEN THEY ARE NOT YET "CONVERTED".

TRUE BIBLE TEACHING STATES THAT "YOU ARE NOT SATAN". YOU WERE ONLY USED BY SATAN AS AN INSTRUMENT BEFORE YOU GOT THE NEW BIRTH. YOU JUST HAD SPIRITUAL AMNESIA.

"Our natural life here we have here is just a perversion. It really should be the right Life to begin with. But it's perverted by the natural birth. The first life or your first union, you were joined in at birth by nature. A natural act, a natural human being associated, man and woman together, associated together in sexual affair which brought your first life here, and that's associated with sin and death."
WMB, INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE. 65-1125

Commentary: What Satan did was that HE PERVERTED man’s SOUL (singular) through the SEX BIRTH: by injecting his seed into the human race. He used the SERPENT, and through Eve, he introduced the SEXUAL ACT of REPRODUCTION. Eve then introduced the thing to Adam and this is what caused the fall of mankind. It’s not another SOUL now, but a “sinful worldly nature” got hold of every man born of a woman. It said in Job 14:1 that “a man that is born of a woman is of few days, and is full of sorrows…” And also in Romans 3:23- “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Jesus Christ not included because He was God’s own Blood).

----------------------------------o0O0o-----------------------------------

TRUE BIBLE TEACHING STATES THAT IF YOU ARE A TRUE CHRISTIAN, YOU ARE NEVER A SINNER IN THE SIGHT OF GOD

(6) "TWO SOUL DOCTRINE" STATES THAT THE WORD "NATURE" IS SYNONYMOUS TO THE WORD "SOUL". "TWO NATURES" TO THEM THEREFORE MEANS "TWO SOULS".

WEBSTER defines the word “NATURE” as “the CHARACTER, the constitution, or ESSENTIAL TRAITS of a PERSON, being, thing, or class.” The word “Nature” therefore, is a trait or characteristic of the Soul, not the “Soul” itself.

Here's where the controversy started, from misplacing the word "two natures" and equating it to "two souls" -C.O.D. pp. 676/ par 159:

"First, YOU were mean, and evil and hatred, and malice and strife; NOW, you're loving, sweet, kind, and … see the difference? It's YOUR "NATURE". We could… I'll call it that. It's your SOUL that's BEEN CHANGED. The OLD soul died, and the NEW soul which is the “NEW NATURE” was borned into YOU. See?"

Brother Branham himself said that he had TWO NATURES IN THE SAME BODY AT THE SAME TIME. Did he mean TWO SOULS? NO.

Commentary1: Brother Branham himself said that in his BODY there were TWO NATURES at the SAME TIME. This does not mean that Brother Branham had TWO SOULS. What he meant is that in his soul there were TWO NATURES – (1) an old worldly nature by sex birth (which has to die and rot and be annihilated), so that the new nature (which is the speck of LIFE or the SEED of PREDESTINATION of God in him) could live and manifest through the process of the New Birth.

More Quotes:

"The Bible said that if that SOUL WON'T DO as He did said do, He will even destroy that soul. BUT you see, HE CAN'T DESTROY HIMSELF and REMAIN GOD. So if that SOUL is of the world, it has to be destroyed. BUT IF IT'S ETERNAL WITH GOD, IT NEVER DID BEGIN because it's part of God; IT CAN NEVER BE DESTROYED. AMEN! The Church ought to see that!" (The Future Home/pp. 41)

"The NATURE of your SOUL is--is God, IF you're BORN AGAIN. IF it's NOT, it's of the world.”
(WMB, SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW JEFF.IN. V-2 N-22 63-1110M)

----------------------------------o0O0o-----------------------------------

(7) THE MESSAGE TELLS US THAT “TWO NATURES” REALLY REFER TO A “PERVERTED YOU” (Old Nature) AND THE “REAL YOU” (New Nature).

The “REAL YOU” CAN NEVER DIE NOR BE ANNIHILATED. It’s the “SEED GENE” of God in YOU. IT only had a “SPIRITUAL AMNESIA”..

"Don't get spiritual amnesia, 'cause you will--you'll identify yourself with something else. Stay right with that Word. You must be identified with St. John the 14th chapter, the 12th verse, "He that believeth with Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Don't forget it. If you do, then you've got spiritual amnesia. You've forgotten who you are."
WMB, SPIRITUAL.AMNESIA.title BIRMINGHAM.AL 64-0411

----------------------------------o0O0o-----------------------------------

(8) THE OLD “NATURE” ACTUALLY REFERS TO THE “WORKS OF THE FLESH”, NOT TO ANOTHER "SOUL"

“MORTIFY” IN THE Greek Lexicon means the following:
2289 thanatoo {than-at-o'-o} from 2288; TDNT -- 3:7,312; vb
Meaning: -- put to death (4); cause to be put to death (3)-- kill (2); become dead (1) -- mortify (1) [11]
1) to put to death; 2a) to make to die i.e. destroy, render extinct; 2b) by death to be liberated from the bond of anything, literally to be made dead in relation to (something)

This “New Birth”, therefore, means DEATH to the “old” worldly unbelieving condition of the SOUL, and LIFE to the “new” condition of the SOUL (which is the eternal SEED of God –) always present in a true son or daughter of God.

----------------------------------o0O0o-----------------------------------

(9). THE “OLD NATURE” WILL STILL BOTHER YOU AS LONG AS YOU LIVE. (That’s why it has to die, NOT the SOUL itself.)

“And as long as you're in this life, you're going to be sticky and have a “carnal nature” that's going to bother you as long as you live; but the inside of you, you're borned again.” QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.title JEFF.IN COD 64-0830E

"You'll make mistakes; you'll fall; you'll willfully do wrong. You'll go out sometime and do things; that don't mean that you're lost; that means that you're going to get correction. My little boy, lots of times... My children will do things, your does too, that you--they know that's against your--your rules. And they know what to expect when they do it: they're going to get a whipping for it, sometimes a good one. But it's still your child, certainly. It's impossible for that man to ever be gone again, that's once been born of Eternal Life. God's not a Indian giver. "He that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, has Everlasting Life and shall never come to the judgment, but's passed from death unto Life. And I'll raise him up at the last days." That's God's promise."
WMB, HEBREWS.CHAPTER.6.AND.7..title JEFF.IN HEB 57-0915M

"Somebody told me he had one, one time was converted, received the Holy Ghost, and he said to him, "How you getting along?"
He said, "Pretty good and pretty bad."
He said, "Well, how do you mean pretty bad and pretty good?"
He said, "Well, since me receive the Holy Ghost," he said, "there's been two dogs in me, and one of them a black dog and one of them a white dog." And said, "They argue all the time." Said, "They growl and fight at one another." And said, "The white dog wants me do good; the black dog wants me do bad."
Said, "Well, Chief, which one of them wins the fight?"
Said, "That depends on which one Chief feeds the most." So I think that's a good answer here. See? There just depends on the warring of the body that's in you; it depends on which one you cater to, which nature you cater to, the carnal nature after the things of the world, or the spiritual nature after the things of God. That does it."
WMB, QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.title JEFF.IN COD 64-0830E

Apostle Paul, in the following verses, taught us of the “warring between the “old nature” and the “”new nature” in us. This is a holy man talking, not an unbeliever, yet he is still continually undergoing a struggle between “flesh” and “spirit”:

ROMANS 7:14-25-
"For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that [it is] good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but [how] to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

----------------------------------o0O0o-----------------------------------

(10) TRUE “SOUL CHANGE” means “PASSING FROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER”; NOT REPLACEMENT.

Brother Branham compared and typed the EARTH to the SOUL. The EARTH, just like the SOUL, will be REDEEMED (not REPLACED) by God through the three stages of salvation – WATER BAPTISM (Noah’s time), BLOOD SANCTIFICATION (Jesus’ time), AND BAPTISM OF FIRE OF THE HOLY GHOST (Armageddon time).

The earth, just like the SOUL, will be cleansed and purified by FIRE but not replaced and annihilated. The “NEW heaven and earth” will be established on this SAME EARTH (same soul) using the same structure. The EARTH was baptized with water in the days of NOAH. It was sanctified by the shed BLOOD of Jesus at Calvary. And it will finally be burned out with Holy Fire during the Battle of Armageddon, to prepare itself for the King and Queen of Heaven to live in it during the Millennium.





QUOTES:

" Jesus said, "Heavens and earth shall PASS AWAY", in other words, HEAVENS and EARTH SHALL BE "CHANGED"; used that SAME WORD again. NO, NOT ANNIHILATED, for later in Revelations 21:2-24, He seen the NEW JERUSALEM coming down from God out of heaven and SITTING UPON THIS EARTH. It doesn't mean it'll be ANNIHILATED. The SYSTEMS'LL BE CHANGED."
(WMB, The Future Home/pp. 28)

" It DOES NOT MEAN ANNIHILATION. The word here DOES NOT MEAN "PASS AWAY"; It means "PASSING FROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER". Look, but to PASS FROM ONE CONDITION, it says, TO ANOTHER… that MAN is PASSED FROM A SINNER TO SAINT, NOT completely ANNIHILATED. When a man is CHANGED, HE ISN'T ANNIHILATED, but he's a CHANGED PERSON. He's been CHANGED from what HE WAS to what He IS, NOT ANNIHILATED."
(WMB, The Future Home/pp. 27-28)

"God didn't say He's going to raise up a NEW generation; He's going to REDEEM the ONE that's ALREADY HERE. He ain't going to make NO NEW WORLD, it's THIS ONE RIGHT HERE; He's just going to BURN IT OFF, CLEANSE IT, LIKE HE DID "YOU".

(11) THE “CONTROL TOWER" IS NOT THE ONE THAT'S REPLACED, BUT THE ONE WHO CONTROLS IT

"Now, what is a man? He's a triune being: body, soul, and spirit. How many knows that? Watch God's approach. What is his heart? You remember my message, "God Chose a Man's Heart for His Control Tower?" The Devil chose his head for his control tower. See? He makes him see things, look through his eyes. But yet God in his heart makes him believe things that he cannot see. See? See, God is on his heart; in the heart of man is the throne of God."
WMB, REV.CHAP.4.PT.2.24.ELDERS.title JEFF.IN ROJC 585-643 61-0101

"Now, here is a human heart. Now, I'm not... I'm a long ways from being an artist. See? Here is a human heart, and here is a human heart. Now, this one over here has a snake in it; that's sin. Here he has is life. This one over here has a Dove in it, which is the Holy Spirit. Here he has a life. Well, this one here he has malice, hatred, envy. That's what's causing it: this fellow here. Well, this one over here has love, and joy, and long-suffering, and that's what does it down here.
WMB, FUTURE.HOME.title JEFF.IN V-3 N-5 64-0802

"Satan took the eye, a man's head, to control him by his head. God took his heart. Man's always trying to achieve something by his head. He's supposed to achieve, but by his heart. That's the control tower where God controls him, and directs his thoughts, directs his walks, directs his emotions."
WMB, LOOKING.AT.THE.UNSEEN.title LA.CA 59-0410

COMMENTARY- “The SOUL is the NATURE of the SPIRIT”, as it was said. This is very true. It means that whatever attitude your spirit is manifesting outside, it reflects what you are in your SOUL inside. The “nature of your spirit” reflects whether you are a son of God or not in your SOUL. It shows what kind of “control tower” you have. It implies that “By their FRUIT you shall know them”. The fruits of the spirit is love, faith, patience, longsuffering, etc. These reflects the nature of the individual, whether His soul is of God or is of the world.

----------------------------------o0O0o-----------------------------------

The prophet clarified that Christianity is based upon resurrection, and not replacement. The ONE SOUL that died in its old condition is brought to LIFE anew manifesting the LIFE of CHRIST which is the “Real YOU”. This brings us to the real meaning of REDEMPTION, which means “to take back what was lost”. Let’s read this quote from the prophet:

“Now, I believe in resurrection. Christianity believes in resurrection. The whole thing's based on resurrection.... If this Bible falls from the platform down to the table, and to take another Bible and put in its place, that's not resurrection, that's replacement. Resurrection is bringing the same Bible up that went down. And resurrection's bringing the same person up that went down.”
WMB, YE.MUST.BE.BORN.AGAIN.title GREENVILLE.SC 58-0619B

“Christianity is based upon the resurrection, not replacement. If I dropped this handkerchief on the floor and picked up another one and put in its place, that's replacement. Christianity is resurrection. The same Jesus that went down, the same Jesus, went up.”
WMB, FROM.THE.BEGINNING.IT.WASN'T.SO.title SAN.JOSE.CA 59-1125

THE DEATH OF JESUS typed our “SOUL CHANGE”. Jesus was made SIN, DIED for our sins and was RESURRECTED to LIFE ANEW AGAIN.

"God became a sinner, taking our sins. Jesus became me, that I might become Him. The innocent Lamb of God, He knowed no sin, became a sinner, that I might be made adopted son of God. Amen. There's the picture of true redemption."
WMB, GOD'S.SERVANT.JOB.title PHOENIX.AZ 55-0223

"God became a sinner, took our sins upon Him, knowing no sins, yet was a sinner because our sins was placed upon Him, that we... He become me, that I might become Him. See? He become a sinner that I might become a son of God. He become a sinner, that you might become a son of God."

(13) "TWO SOUL DOCTRINE" STATES THAT THE VERSE "THE SOUL THAT SINNETH, IT SHALL DIE" APPLIES TO BELIEVERS.

TRUE BIBLE TEACHING APPLIES THIS VERSE - “THE SOUL THAT SINNETH, IT SHALL DIE” (Ezekiel 18:4) to UNBELIEVERS, and NOT to the REAL BELIEVERS. Sin is UNBELIEF. BELIEVERS DON'T SIN.

(14) "TWO SOUL DOCTRINE" STATES THAT YOUR OLD SOUL MUST BE ANNIHILATED.

FOR A TRUTH, there’s no such thing as “soul annihilation” today. This thing will be DONE after the White Throne Judgment. Even the souls of the wicked are still ALIVE today and are imprisoned in the 5th Dimension, waiting for their final alloted time of judgment. If the souls of the wicked are not yet annihilated today, how much more can a Christian's soul be annihilated when it is eternal? Final annihilation will is the second death, as the Bible verses below tell us:

COMMENTARY- This TEACHING on SOUL ANNIHILATION, therefore, is an ERROR. What is annihilated in US is the SIN, the “old nature”, the “old condition” of the SOUL, NOT the SOUL itself. The SOUL of the Bride is eternal, can never die as God can’t die. And the SOUL of the UNBELIEVERS will still be annihilated after they are TORMENTED in HELL with the DEVIL. This is still a FUTURE EVENT. There is NO SOUL ANNIHILATION TODAY. The Scripture even says that a TRUE Christian is living in TWO CONDITIONS: (1) He/she is DEAD in Sin (Old Soul application), yet at the same time, ALIVE in CHRIST JESUS (New Soul application).

----------------------------------o0O0o-----------------------------------

GALATIANS 5:16-25-
"[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the FLESH (OLD NATURE) are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the Fruit of the Spirit (NEW NATURE) is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit."

EZEKIEL 36:26-27
"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them]".
