was the theory that man at death

immediately went to either heaven

or· hell. We have also said that

there was no Scripture proof for

it. This we shall now attempt to

show, because if this position is

true, it would do away with the

necessity for a resurrection. It also would make the teachings of

Scripture on this subject of no

force. We will give but one of

many references to prove their.

position untrue. It is found in Acts 2: 34, and reads: "For David
