The concept of “soul sleep” is the idea that humans are completely unconscious or unaware of their surroundings between their physical death and the end of this age when the dead are resurrected for the final judgment.
This concept has been embraced by many different religious groups over the centuries, including the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Seventh-Day Adventists.
In this episode, Kenny explains this concept in depth and points out the clear Biblical reasons why this doctrine is not supported by Scripture.
