“Elsie and I, as well as others, HAVE discussed our disagreement with each other on this topic.”
So which one of you is wrong even though you all claim to follow scripture?
We'll find out when we get to heaven. If you had read my comment, you would know the answer. You had first asked:
Since Protestants won’t ask you about “sleep” in the Bible, or about whether or not any souls are now in Heaven, or if Paradise is Heaven, there doesn’t seem to be many on the Protestant side of things here.
You were wrong, others HAVE asked and discussed the topic with Elsie. Will this be one of the "rare" times you admit you were mistaken or will you cling to your exalted never-been-wrong 'tude or change the subject again?
There is 'follow' and then there is 'understand'.
