Psychopannychism

"{4} For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. {5} For the living know that they shall die: BUT THE DEAD KNOW NOT ANY THING, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. {6} Also THEIR LOVE, AND THEIR HATRED, AND THEIR ENVY, IS NOW PERISHED; NEITHER HAVE THEY ANY MORE A PORTION FOR EVER IN ANY THING THAT IS DONE UNDER THE SUN." (Ecc. 9v4-6, AKJV, p.304)

"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for THERE IS NO WORK, NOR DEVICE, NOR KNOWLEDGE, NOR WISDOM, IN THE GRAVE, WITHER THOU GOEST." (Ecc. 9v10, AKJV, p.304)

"And many of them THAT SLEEP IN THE DUST OF THE EARTH SHALL AWAKE, SOME TO EVERLASTING LIFE, AND SOME TO SHAME AND EVERLASTING CONTEMPT." (Dan. 12v2, AKJV, p.395)

"{16} For IF THE DEAD RISE NOT, then is not Christ raised: {17} And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. {18} Then THEY ALSO WHICH ARE FALLEN ASLEEP IN CHRIST are perished. {19} If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. {20} But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of THEM THAT SLEPT. {21} For since by man came death, by man came also THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. {22} For as in Adam all die, even SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE. {23} But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; AFTERWARD THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S AT HIS COMING. {24} Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. {25} For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet. {26} THE LAST ENEMY THAT SHALL BE DESTROYED IS DEATH. {27} For He hath put all things under His feet. But when He saith [All|all]] things are put under Him, it is manifest that He is excepted, which did put all things under Him. {28} And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subjected unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all. {29} Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, IF THE DEAD RISE NOT AT ALL? why are they then baptized for the dead? {30} And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? {31} I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. {32} If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die. {33} Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. {34} Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. {35} But some man will say, HOW ARE THE DEAD RAISED UP? and WITH WHAT BODY DO THEY COME? {36} Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: {37} And that which thou sowest, THOU SOWEST NOT THAT BODY THAT SHALL BE, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: {38} But GOD GIVETH IT A BODY as it hath pleased Him, and to every seed His own body. {39} All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. {40} There are also CELESTIAL BODIES, and BODIES TERRESTRIAL: but THE GLORY OF THE CELESTIAL IS ONE, AND THE GLORY OF THE TERRESTRIAL IS ANOTHER. {41} There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. {42} SO ALSO IS THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. IT IS SOWN IN CORRUPTION; IT IS RAISED IN INCORRUPTION: {43} IT IS SOWN IN DISHONOUR; IT IS RAISED IN GLORY: IT IS SOWN IN WEAKNESS; IT IS RAISED IN POWER. {44} IT IS SOWN A NATURAL BODY; IT IS RAISED A SPIRITUAL BODY. THERE IS A NATURAL BODY, AND THERE IS A SPIRITUAL BODY. {45} And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. {46} Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and AFTERWARD THAT WHICH IS SPIRITUAL. {47} The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. {48} As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. {49} And as we have borne the image of the earthy, WE SHALL ALSO BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE HEAVENLY. {50} Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. {51} Behold, I shew you a mystery; WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED, {52} In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, AT THE LAST TRUMP: for the trumpet shall sound, and THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE, AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED. {53} For THIS CORRUPTIBLE MUST PUT ON INCORRUPTION, and THIS MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY. {54} So when THIS CORRUPTION SHALL HAVE PUT ON INCORRUPTION, and THIS MORTAL SHALL HAVE PUT ON IMMORTALITY, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. {55} O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" (1 Cor. 15:16-55, AKJV, p.510) → Job 14v14

"{13} But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, CONCERNING THEM WHICH ARE ASLEEP, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. {14} For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, EVEN SO THEM ALSO WHICH SLEEP IN JESUS WILL GOD BRING WITH HIM. {15} For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord SHALL NOT PREVENT THEM WHICH ARE ASLEEP. {16} For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST: {17} Then we which are alive and remain shall be CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS, TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR: and SO SHALL WE EVER BE WITH THE LORD." (1 Thess. 4v13-17, AKJV, p.525)
