Ikiwa watu wote wema wataenda mbinguni wanapokufa, kwa nini Biblia inasema kwamba “Daudi hakupaa mbinguni” ( Matendo 2:34 ), lakini kwamba “alikufa akazikwa, na kaburi lake liko pamoja nasi hata hapa duniani. siku” (Matendo 2:29)?
If all good people go to heaven when they die, why does the Bible say that "David is not ascended to heaven" (Acts 2:34), but that he "is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day" (Acts 2:29)?
Kwa nini watu husema kwamba watachukuliwa mbinguni kuwa pamoja na Yesu watakapokufa, wakati Biblia inafundisha kwamba hakuna mtu aliyewahi kupaa mbinguni isipokuwa Yesu Kristo na kwamba hakuna mtu angeweza kwenda alikokuwa akienda (mbinguni - Yohana 3). :13, 7:34 na 13:33)?
Why do people say that they will be taken up to heaven to be with Jesus when they die, when the Bible teaches that no one has ever ascended to heaven except Jesus Christ and that no one could go where he was going (heaven - John 3:13, 7:34 and 13:33)?
Ikiwa watu wema wataenda kwenye thawabu yao mbinguni wanapokufa, kwa nini Paulo, kabla hajafa, alisema, “Nimemaliza mbio… tangu sasa nimewekewa taji ya haki, ambayo Bwana… atanipa siku ile, wala si mimi tu, bali na wote pia wapendao kufunuliwa kwake.” ( 2 Timotheo 4-8 )
If good people go to their reward in heaven when they die, why did Paul, before he died, say, "I have finished the race ... henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord ... shall give me at that day and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing" (2 Timothy 4-8)?
Ikiwa wema hupokea thawabu yao mara moja wakati wa kifo, je, malaika alidanganya wakati alimwambia Danieli, "Nenda zako hata mwisho. Utapumzika, na mwisho wa siku hizo utafufuka ili kupokea urithi wako" ( Mathayo 12:14 ) Danieli 12:13)
If the good receive their reward immediately at death, did the angel lie when he said to Daniel, "Go your way until the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance” (Daniel 12:13)?
Ikiwa sisi sote ni nafsi zisizoweza kufa, zinazoweza kuishi milele, kwa nini Yesu alisema, “nimekuja ili wawe na uzima” ( Yohana 10:10 ); Paulo anasema, “zawadi ya Mungu ni uzima wa milele” (Warumi 6:23); na anasema Yesu “atawapa uzima wa milele wote ambao Mungu humpa” ( Yohana 17:2 )?
If we are all immortal souls, able to live forever, why did Jesus say, "l am come that they might have life" (John 10:10); Paul says, "the gift of God is eternal life" (Romans 6:23); and he says Jesus will "give eternal life to as many as God gives him" (John 17:2)?
Watu wote wanawezaje kuzaliwa wakiwa na nafsi zisizoweza kufa wakati Yesu alisema juu ya yeyote anayemwamini, “Nitamfufua (kutoka kwa kifo) siku ya mwisho” ili “apate uzima wa milele” ( Yohana 6:40 )?
How can all men be born with immortal souls when Jesus said of any who believe on him, "I will raise him up (from death) at the last day" that he "may have everlasting life" (John 6:40)?
Ikiwa waovu na waadilifu wote ni wasioweza kufa tangu kuzaliwa, je, Yesu alisema uwongo aliposema “angewapa kula matunda ya mti wa uzima,” yaani, kumpa uzima wa milele “yeye ashindaye,” na “wale wanaozishika amri zake”? ( Ufunuo 2:7 & 22:14 )?
If both wicked and righteous are immortal from birth, did Jesus lie when He said He would "give to eat of the tree of life," that is, confer eternal life upon "him that overcomes," and "they that do His commandments" (Revelation 2:7 & 22:14)?
Watu waovu na waadilifu wanawezaje kuwa wasioweza kufa wakati Biblia inasema kwamba uzima wa milele umeahidiwa tu kwa wale ambao “kwa kuvumilia katika kutenda mema, wanatafuta utukufu, heshima na kutokuharibika, naam, uzima wa milele” ( Warumi 2:7 )?
How can both wicked and righteous people be immortal when the Bible says that eternal life is promised only to those who “by patient continuance in well doing, do seek for glory, honor and immortality, even eternal life” (Romans 2:7)?
Ikiwa waovu na wenye haki wana hakika kuishi milele, kwa nini Paulo alisema kwamba wale “waliotenda dhambi wataangamia” (Warumi 2:3-12)?
If the wicked and righteous are sure to live forever, why did Paul say that those who "have sinned shall perish" (Romans 2:3-12)?
Ikiwa tumezaliwa na uzima wa milele, kwa nini Yesu alisema, “wale ambao watahesabiwa kuwa wamestahili kuupata ulimwengu ule, na ufufuo kutoka kwa wafu...hawawezi kufa tena” ( Luka 20:35, 36 )?
If we are born with eternal life, why did Jesus say, "they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead...cannot die any more" (Luke 20:35, 36)?
Namna gani nafsi inaweza kuwa isiyoonekana (isionekane wala kuguswa) wakati Biblia inasema nafsi inaweza “kugusa vitu vichafu” ( Mambo ya Walawi 5:2 ); “kuzikanyaga” “nafsi” nyingine ( Waamuzi 5:21 ); na “kuraruliwa” na “kupasuliwa vipande-vipande” ( Zaburi 7:2 )?
How can the soul be immaterial (not seen or touched) when the Bible says the soul can "touch unclean things" (Leviticus 5:2); "tread down" other "souls" (Judges 5:21); and be "torn" and "rended into pieces" (Psalm 7:2)?
Kwa nini inafundishwa kwamba nafsi huishi milele bila mwili au lishe yoyote ya kimwili wakati Biblia inatangaza kwamba inahitaji “nyama ya kuponya nafsi” ( Maombolezo 1:11 ); kwamba kwa kuwa “na njaa na kiu nafsi zao zilizimia” ( Zaburi 107:5 ); na kwamba “Amezimia” kwa sababu “nafsi yake ina hamu ( Isaya 29:8 )?
Why is it taught that the soul lives on forever without a body or any physical nourishment when the Bible declares it needs "meat to relieve the soul" (Lamentations 1:11); that being "hungry and thirsty their soul fainted" (Psalms 107:5); and that "He is faint" because "his soul has appetite (Isaiah 29:8)?
Nafsi inawezaje kujitegemea na kuwa tofauti na mwili wakati Mungu anasema inaweza "kupumua" (Yoshua 11:11); "kula damu" ( Mambo ya Walawi 17-12); "kula nyama" (Mambo ya Walawi 7:20 & 17:15); ana "damu" ( Yeremia 2-34 ); kununuliwa “kwa fedha” ( Mambo ya Walawi 22:11 ); “fanya kazi” ( Mambo ya Walawi 23:30 ); na kuwekwa “shimoni” ( Zaburi 35:7 )?
How can the soul be independent of and different from the body when God states it can "breathe" (Joshua 11:11); "eat blood" (Leviticus 17-12); "eat flesh" (Leviticus 7:20 & 17:15); has "blood" (Jeremiah 2-34); be bought "with money" (Leviticus 22:11); "do work" (Leviticus 23:30); and be put in "a pit" (Psalms 35:7)?
Kwa nini wengine hufundisha kwamba nafsi haiwezi kuharibiwa wakati Biblia inasema kwamba Yoshua na Israeli walipaswa “kuangamiza kabisa nafsi zote” huko Makeda ( Yoshua 10:28 ); huko Libna (mistari ya 29 & 30); na katika maeneo mengine kadhaa (mstari wa 36 & 39); na kwamba nafsi zisizotii “zitaangamizwa” ( Matendo 3:23 ); kwamba hata nafsi ya Daudi mwadilifu ingeweza “kuangamizwa” ( Zaburi 63:9 )?
Why do some teach that the soul is indestructible when the Bible says that Joshua and Israel were to "utterly destroy all the souls" in Makkedah (Joshua 10:28); in Libnah (verses 29 & 30); and in several other places (verse 36 & 39); and that disobedient souls "shall be destroyed" (Acts 3:23); that even righteous David's soul could be "destroyed" (Psalms 63:9)?
Ikiwa tumezaliwa na uzima wa milele, kwa nini Yesu alisema “wale ambao watahesabiwa kuwa wamestahili kuupata ulimwengu ule na ufufuo kutoka kwa wafu (akizungumza juu ya wafuasi Wake waaminifu) hawawezi kufa tena kamwe” ( Luka 20:35, 36 ) Je! ?
If we are born with eternal life, why did Jesus say “they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world and the resur rection from the dead (speaking of His faithful followers) cannot die any more” (Luke 20:35, 36)?
Ikiwa roho zote njema zinaenda mbinguni mara moja baada ya kifo, kwa nini Yesu alimwambia Mariamu siku moja baada ya kufufuka Kwake, “Usinishike, kwa maana sijapaa kwenda kwa Baba yangu” ( Yohana 20:17 )?
If all good souls go immediately to heaven after death, why did Jesus tell Mary one day after His resurrection, "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father” (John 20:17)?
