Random Quote
(Complete listing)The belief that the soul continues its existence after the dissolution of the body is a matter of philosophical or theological speculation rather than of simple faith, and is accordingly nowhere expressly taught in Holy Scripture.
[The Jewish Encyclopedia (1910), Vol. VI, p. 564]

Someone forgot to close an "i" tag.

someone forgot to read the previous comments suggesting that someone did not close an i tag, but should.
