Dear Pastor Hulbert
Re: Your
Interviews with Doug Harris_ Revelation TV.
Greetings in the name of
Yahushua Ha Mashiach, our loving Saviour.
I watched some of your interviews
with Doug Harris and I have decided to write to you
after yesterday’s (Sabbath, December 15) showing. The Ruach Ha Kodesh, the Holy Spirit, has
laid it upon my heart to write to you and in obedience I am doing so, though reluctantly.
I am fully aware that what I write may be disregarded as were the messages the
Ruach Ha Kodesh gave me for the Church in the past. I also know the stance of the SDA Church : “WE HAVE THE TRUTH AND NO ONE CAN TEACH US
ANYTHING”!!
I am writing on the
section where Doug asked you about, what happens to the spirit when one dies?
In reply you spoke about the death of the body itself and about the “breath” leaving
it and returning to Elohim (God). I did
not hear you speaking about the “Spirit”
(spirit and soul, the true person which never dies). He tried many times to bring
you back to the subject but you could not give him the answer which I knew he
wanted. I know the teachings of the SDA Church on that subject. However, I would respectfully point out that a
person is MORE THAN JUST THE BODY + THE BREATH, which makes him a living soul. While THE BODY WITHOUT THE BREATH EQUALS A
DEAD SOUL. That however, would make man just
A SINGLE BEING instead of a TRI-PARTITE BEING.
Due to some of the Beliefs
and Teachings of the SDA Church , many regard the Church as an EXCLUSIVE,
DECEIVED AND CULTIC ORGANISATION.
This pains me because it is the Church to which I belonged for most of
my life. I would still be a member if
the Ruach Ha Kodesh had not taught me
and given me His work to do. (This is
not arrogance or egotism on my behalf).
Pastor Hulbert, I do not
want to take too much of your time but I would like to address the matter of
the SPIRIT (as I am instructed by the Ruach Ha Kodesh) which Doug was
referring to. That SPIRIT (spirit and
soul) is the TRUE person, not the BREATH OF LIFE which comes in at birth and
returns to Elohim at death. Please look
up both spirit and soul in the Dictionaries and Concordances. I used the following for reference when I was
studying the subject:
The Cruden’s
Complete Concordance, Encyclopaedia Britannica, Virtue’s English Dictionary and The Oxford
Advanced Learner’s Dictionary.
Pastor
Hulbert if I may, and if you will allow me, I will try and explain briefly about the SPIRIT which never dies and which Doug kept referring
to in his interview. The Ruach Ha Kodesh taught me many things and I am writing
from what He taught me and gave me to teach.
MAN
A TRI-PARTITE BEING!!
As
human beings, we are TRI-PARTITE BEINGS (1 Thess 5:
23 ) unlike the animals which are bi-partite beings. We are first “spirit” and “soul” (the “spirit”
part of our being) and we live in a “body,
our earthly “tabernacle” or house (2 Corinthians 5: 1-9) which is the temple of the Ruach Ha Kodesh (1 Cor. 6:19 ). At conception Yahweh sent our spirits (spirit and soul, which
never die) from Heaven. From the moment of our conception, Yahweh began to
fashion our bodies to house our spirits, our true persons. Our spirits remained
active while our bodies were being made in our mothers’ wombs until they were
mature enough for us to be born into this world. They remain in our bodies,
being the true persons we are, until the day we die. Only then do our spirits vacate
our bodies. The spirits of those unborn babies who were aborted for one reason
or another, also return to Heaven to our Elohim because OUR SPIRITS NEVER DIE.
While
we were in the womb growing, we were very much alive but we did not breathe because
our lungs were solid. We were kept alive and nourished through the umbilical cords
attached to the placentas of our mother’s wombs. At birth when we came out of the womb, we
cried and at that time we took our first breath, which opened up our lungs. From
that moment the spirit of life or the breath, took over and continues to give us
life until the time when take our last breath and die. At that point our breath
will return to Elohim who gave it (as it is for those who have died). The breath of life (Genesis 2: 7) in us, however,
is NOT our TRUE person, the SPIRIT. It
is only the Physiological function, the Respiration (one inspiration +one
expiration which gives Oxygen to the blood and removes Carbon Dioxide from the blood) which keeps us
alive throughout our lifetime in this world.
The
BREATH OF LIFE is totally separate from THE SPIRIT AND SOUL, OUR TRUE PERSONS, which Paul talks about in 2
Corinthians 5: 6-9, and which Peter also
refers to in 2 Peter 1:13,14. Paul says:
“Therefore we are always
confident, knowing that, whilst we are
at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith,
not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present
with the Lord”. 2
Corinthians 5: 6-9.
Paul
also tells us in Thess. 5: 23:
“And
the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved
blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”.
Here,
it is clearly stated that we are first spirit beings: spirit and soul
and we live in a body (created in our mothers’
wombs). The spirit (spirit and soul) is the “image” and “likeness”
of Yahweh, which He made us in (Genesis 1:26 , 27). We must understand that Elohim (God) is a “Spirit”
Being, as Yahushua tells us in John 4: 24.
Elohim is still a Spirit Being, except for Yahushua who has retained His
humanity, after He came and died for our spirit beings.
The
spirit (spirit and soul) NOT THE BREATH OF LIFE, which Doug was
referring to and pointed out to you in John 11:
25 , 26, and also in 2 Corinthians 5: 6-9, is the part of our being
which NEVER DIES!! It is also the part
of the being which Yahushua told us about in Luke 16: 19-31. Likewise, it is
also the part of the being John wrote about in Revelation 6: 9-11 concerning
the souls of the martyrs who are in Heaven, crying under the Altar. It is the part of our being for which Yahushua
came and died to save us from HELL when we die and from the Lake of fire and
brimstone in the final Judgment (Revelation 20). Please understand that
Yahushua did not come and die for our sinful mortal bodies. He died for our
spirit beings (spirit and soul).
Our
spirit being (spirit and soul), is
our true persons which inhabits our bodies and the part of our
beings which controls our minds, our intellects, our wills and our emotions. It
is the part of our beings which gives instructions to our bodies to carry out
its dictates, good or bad. The SPIRIT part
of our beings is the part of us that MUST BE BORN AGAIN of the Ruach Ha Kodesh (John
3: 3-5). The SOUL is part of our beings which MUST BE CONVERTED (Psalm 19:7,
Acts 3: 19 ). IT IS NOT OUR
BODIES WHICH MUST BE BORN AGAIN, OR BE CONVERTED.
It is the spirit
part of us with which Elohim communicates and the part to which He speaks to us
in dreams and visions (Job 14: 13 -17). It is also the part of our being which goes
about and does things while our bodies are asleep and which we recognise as
dreams when we wake up.
Our
physical bodies, the houses of our spirits and our souls, are very, very
important. They give us the legal right to be in this world and to do what our Elohim sent us
to this world to do for Him. At death
that legal right is taken away and then we (our spirits: spirits and souls) MUST leave this world. At death, our spirits (which are very much alive) will go to one of two places as Yahushua clearly
tells us in Luke 16:1-31 about the rich
man and the beggar, Lazarus. (This account in Luke 16: 19-31 is NOT a parable,
but a TRUE ACCOUNT of what happens at death.) For those who have accepted
Yahushua as their personal Saviour from sin, their spirits (spirit and soul) go
to Heaven when they die. Those, however,
who rejected Yahushua, their spirits go to Hell, which is a REAL PLACE .
At
death, the body (which was born in sin and shaped in iniquity) is no longer
required. It then returns to its dust
and knows nothing (Psalm 146: 4, Job 14: 21 ). The situation is totally different for the
spirit which continues to live on because it never dies, as I have already
stated.
Pastor
Hulbert you remarked to Doug that if the spirit is already in Heaven, why should
they come back to this world to reconnect with the body when Yahushua returns. If you will permit me, I will try and explain
this. May I therefore, respectfully point out, as Doug was trying to
do, that due to the sin nature in us, our present bodies cannot go to Heaven
because they are subject to death (1 Cor 15: 50).
At
death the spirit (spirit and soul) which does not die leaves the body, its old
house in this world. It has to leave then
because without a physical, earthly body, it is an incomplete being and has no
legal rights any more in this world.
When the spirit (spirit and soul) leaves the body at death, it becomes a
bi-partite
being
but it is still VERY MUCH ALIVE. Therefore, at death when it leaves the body it
goes to one of two places: HEAVEN, for
the righteous and HELL, for those
who have rejected Yahushua as Saviour and Lord (Luke 16:
19 -31; (2 Corinthians 5: 1-9).
In Heaven the righteous is then clothed in
a heavenly body (I Corinthians 5: 1-3), while in Hell the spirit is in great
torment. (By now you may be getting very
angry with what I am saying because it is totally against the beliefs and
teachings of the SDA Church, which teaches soul sleep when the body dies. Please be patient and read to the end where
you may see what others who have been
resurrected are saying.)
Please
understand that when we were created, we were made tri-partite beings and when
our spirits i.e. those who are saved go to Heaven, they are only bi-partite beings closed in heavenly
bodies. They are therefore incomplete beings. At the return of Yahushua for ALL His
followers, He will bring back the spirits of those who have died and are with
Him in Heaven. He will resurrect and re-create their bodies (whether in the graves,
the elements, etc.) and re-unite their individual spirits, their true persons with their new immortal and glorified bodies
(1Thess 4: 16 ,17; 1 Corinthians
15: 50 -54). Only then will those who are saved be spirit,
soul and body, fully tri-partite beings in glorified, immortal bodies
as Elohim intended when He first created
Adam and Eve.
At
Yahushua’s return, as you know, He will change the mortal and corruptible
bodies of His living children into immortal, glorified bodies (1 Corinthians 15: 50 -54). He will then take ALL
His redeemed, both the resurrected and the living, children to Heaven for the
thousand years (Revelation 20: 6). At that time all those who are alive at the
return of Yahushua but who rejected Him, they will die and their spirits will
go to Hell and join those who are already there because the true spirit of man never
dies (Luke 16: 19 -31).
The
purpose of Yahushua returning to this world IS TO TAKE ALL HIS CHILDREN TO HEAVEN,
BOTH THOSE WHO HAVE DIED IN HIM AND THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE AT HIS RETURN. The full plan of redemption will then be
completed and He will “see the travail of His soul and be satisfied” (Isa. 53:
11). His sacrifice for our sins will then
be WORTH IT ALL, as He will live and dwell with us. First we will be with Him in
Heaven for one thousand years, followed
by the new earth; where sin will never
again raise its ugly head and where
there will be no more suffering or sad partings in death (Revelation 21 and 22).
Pastor
Hulbert, as you know, at the return of Yahushua to this world, the earth will
be desolate, except for Satan and his demons. The final judgment follows a
thousand years later when Yahushua will return to this world and resurrect ALL
the dead whose spirits are in Hell. He
will re-unite their spirits with their bodies, so that they
stand before Him in that final judgment and give an account to Him of their lives in this
world and their reason for rejecting His love and sacrifice for them. They will then receive their reward (along with
Satan who deceived them), in the lake of fire and brimstone, where their
spirits will be tormented forever because the
spirit does not die (Revelation 20:10 ).
The
matter of the spirit of man, NOT the breath, can be a complex subject for those
who do not understand about the true spirit of man. However, the Ruach Ha Kodesh is here to teach
us all we need to know about Yahweh's Word, including this subject on the spirit and soul of mankind.
There are many people who have been
resurrected from the dead and millions who have had Near Death Experiences (NDE),
including one of my late uncles, who told me about his experience after he had his
first heart attack and died. Many of them have told and are telling their experiences
(including children who died) about what they experienced after they died and
left their mortal bodies. I will give a
few of the websites, so that you can hear what they are saying.
Pastor
Hulbert, it is my prayer that you (who speak
on behalf of the SDA Church , and the church
on a whole), will have a better
understanding about what really happens after the body dies. It is my prayer
also that the Church will begin to re-examine some of its doctrines and
teachings of the 19th century and with the help of the Ruach Ha
Kodesh make changes where necessary. I believe this is important because an ex-SDA
I am fully aware of the teachings of the church and understand why other
Christians who are opposed to the SDA Church , regard it as an EXCLUSIVE and CULTIC
ORGANISATION!! This is the reason some of them have written to Doug and questioned
the appropriateness of the SDA Church being on the
Revelation TV.
May
our Elohim: Yahweh, our Father, Yahushua Ha Mashiach, Jesus Christ and the Ruach
Ha Kodesh, the Holy Spirit bless you and
continue to use you as you faithfully minister for Him.
Yours
in the blessed hope,
Sister Ellisa Asherel
