I base all my beliefs on God's Word...The Bible.How do you know? Have you died?
What do you base your beliefs on sir?
I am willing to bet you don't actually base your beliefs on the Bible. One of the names of God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Since He is God of the living, not the dead, those people are obviously alive right now. Then we have the transfiguration where Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus before Peter, James, and John.
Have you thought about John 3:36 and 11:26?
Let us examine one particular verse, John 6:47.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
The verb to be in that sentence is in the present active indicative tense, which means that the person is presently doing the action.
Present Active Indicative
Unless you are willing to argue that Jesus did not mean what he said you are going to have a hard time justifying soul sleep.

Not sure what that has to do w/the discussion, it covers what to do to have salvation, which is to believe in Jesus, doesn't cover the state of the dead. So scratch one for you.He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 11:26, John 11:26 KJV - And whosoever liveth and believeth in - Bible Gateway
Again, same thing, doesn't address anything with death. Scratch two.And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
John 6:47, John 6:47 KJV - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that - Bible Gateway
Again, on the topic of salvation and the path to eternal life.Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Dude...what conversation are you having? Are you cognizant? Sane? In your right mental faculties?
None of these verses address the issue at hand, which is the state of the dead....WAKE UP!!!
You don't know what you're talking about...dot you?
Sheesh!!!
BTW, I'm no Jehovah's Witness, I celebrate birthdays and I don't have issues with blood transfusions.
