Death and Intermediate State

Systematic Theology - Lesson 81 - Death and the Intermediate State - Gen. 2:17; Rev. 20:14. The dignity of person-hood begins at conception at ends at death. Since God's image is structural to being human, there never comes a point when a person becomes anything less than a full person. Being human is not what you do or can do; it is what we are. We examine several views of what happens after death and look to the Scriptures for the truth.
