'Death is swallowed up in victory' -When?

[Joseph77]

God's Word and Jesus say no. I'm not going to disagree with them.

God's Word and Jesus say no. I'm not going to disagree with them.

So, you agree with answer #2, of my line item #2, thus agreeing that "man became a living soul" .

 

[bbyrd009]

A few out of billions can still rise up in clouds I would think. It's just to say, I don't see a conflict.

ah well, you would see them rise up in clouds, or the clouds, right?
The kingdom does not come by observation

For me the answer is to find the harmony within the Word between the passages, and this shows the meaning. For me, I've never found a seeming conflict that is not resolved this way.

ok then

What I don't understand is how this can be useful or meaningful at all . . . considering . . . it is a propositional statement, "if someone says they know, they don't". If there is not a limitation to this statement, then such a statement falls victim to it's own pronouncement.

you'd have to take that up with Paul i guess

but i wonder if it is not more about the saying that you know than the actual knowing; the premise being that one who "says he knows" wouldnt necessarily be saying "i know," but possibly rather speaking in facts or iow making a law, essentially, that cannot possibly cover every eventuality? Or as in your case, possibly ruled by desires maybe, leading to a false conclusion,
I will nullify the bargain you made with the grave

 

[Earburner]

Did you know that alot of Christian denominations do not hold to that view, that man became a living soul, but rather hold to the view that God gave man an eternal soul.
Have you made the distinction of what "the breath of life" really is, when you read Genesis 6:17 and Genesis 7:15, 22 ?

 

[Earburner]

BTW, be sure to read Genesis quotes that I referenced in the KJV

Hello @Taken,

Forgive me, but I don't understand what you mean. Surely the incorruptible replaces the corruptible, for this mortal must put on immortality. (1 Corinthians 15).

Thank you
In Christ Jesus
Chris

(1 Cor 15) Yes.
A corrupt Mortal "must" Become immortal, To Forever Live With God.

The Death of A Mortal is Required by God.
(Gen 9:5)

That Death IS the Death of A Mortals Life, which IS the Mortals (Blood/Flesh).

All Will/ Must Bodily Die.
OT men (primarily ISRAEL, Gods People) had to Physically Bodily Die,
Before their soul was Determined Saved, and their spirit Quickened.
That Remains, for ISRAEL, who continue, under, Mosaic/Jewish Law.

For any man (Israel or Gentile, Lord Jesus' People), THEY, can Be:
Soul Saved "now", while Bodily Alive.
Spirit Quickened "now", while Bodily Alive.
"Accounted:" Bodily Dead
"Accounted:" Bodily Alive..."IN" Christ Jesus' RISEN in Glory Alive Body.

THEY ^ like Jesus Have "OVERCOME" the wicked one AND the world...aka Corruption.

1 John 5:
[4] For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.[5] Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Daily more men are Naturally Born.
Men are DIVIDING Themselves..
With the Lord God, or without Him.

The Day Will come, when God shall "complete" the DIVISION, BY "SEPARATION".
Those WITH the Lord God, unto Himself;
From
Those WITHOUT the Lord God, away from Himself.

All WITH the Lord God Shall OCCUPY, a new Renewed Earth.
All WITHOUT the Lord God Shall OCCUPY, Hell, IN the Earth, WITHOUT God.

Corruption and the consequence of Death...came to Earth By and Through A Created Holy Angel, who Himself became Corrupt, and was cast down to Earth, Has By and through Wickedness and Deception...
Deceived those OF the world.

Once All Other fallen angels And Deceived men ARE "cast" into Hell...permanently...
"Death is swallowed up in Victory"...

No more Death Shall Occur.
Once the Earth IS Renewed;
THEN Shall All bodies "with God" , still Bodily asleep in their graves BE Raised in Glory, aka Immortal, To Occupy a renewed (uncorupted Earth).

Every CREATED Angel and Every CREATED man Are and Shall Be Affected (a positive consequence or negative consequence)
According TO The Way and Order OF The Lord Gods Will.

Glory to God,
Taken

Hi Chris,
What you wrote here makes me think of 1 Corinthians 15:23 where Paul speaks of "But every man in his own order"
This verse makes me think about whether or not our dearly deceased and saved loved ones are now living in eternity or still "...in the grave know nothing."?? And then we have,"to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord..."

"* This is the resurrection I believe the Lord was referring to: which explains perfectly what He meant when speaking of those that are alive at His coming; when He said that they, 'shall never die'."

Yes, not physically or spiritually die. Do you wonder if you and I will still be here when He comes into His Kingdom on earth? Some believe He already has but...I sure don't see that! IRl (Bbyrd speak ) it has not happened yet but it has already happened...such an enigma!

God bless you sister

'And not only they,
but ourselves also,
which have the firstfruits of the Spirit,

(Rom 8:23)

Hello @Nancy,

This morning I read the verse quoted above, and thought of this entry (reply#672, p34) in which you refer to 1 Corinthians 5, with the words, 'absent from the body' (2 Corinthians 5:1-10). I did respond to this, as you know (reply#676, P.34), but this verse is so relevant that I had to come back to you again and share it.

For here, in Romans 8:23, Paul says that he and those to whom he wrote, groan within themselves, 'waiting for the adoption', 'to wit', 'the redemption of our body.' That was what Paul desired, 'the redemption of our body': which takes place at the resurrection out from among the dead: when mortality puts on immortality, and corruption puts on incorruption, and we are clothed upon with our house from Heaven. That is when we enter into the Sonship that we have been called unto, for which we now have 'the spirit of adoption' (Romans 8:15) which is the 'earnest' (or guarantee) of our reception of it (Ephesians 1:13-14).

* How wonderful this is, Nancy, isn't it?

Praise God!

In Christ Jesus

Hello @Taken

Thank you for your response.

I confess that I do have a problem understanding your entries, because your means of expression is so different from my own: however I think we are agreed on this point that corruption must put on incorruption, and mortality put on immortality.

Thank you.
In the love of Christ.

Since no one here understands their own doctrinal stance, of WHY/HOW they believe in hell, in the way that they do, I have laid it out before you.
I repeat:
If we who are saved, are going to be living IN the New heaven and New earth, death must be altogether, in all totality, eradicated.
One can and should be confident that death truly shall be no more, and no trace of it to be found anywhere, in the New heavens/earth, or anywhere else.

1. For those who believe that God gave man an eternal soul, do you also believe that upon the return of Christ, the unsaved, both dead and alive, shall be cast into hell, being punished upon Christ's return, by His Eternal flaming fire, to forever suffer the punishing of eternal torment, IN DEATH?

2. For those who believe that man became a living soul, do you also believe that upon the return of Christ, the unsaved, both dead and alive, shall be cast into hell, being destroyed immediately, by His Eternal flaming fire, and shall be forever dead, by the punishment of ETERNAL DEATH and DESTRUCTION, never to live again?

Q. If a forever burning Hell is a place of eternal burning of eternal souls, where is death for them? Shall we say that God did not eliminate death for them also?
If so, then in scenario #1, death still exists.

Q. If we who are saved, are living forever in the New heavens/earth, with His new life, and death was eliminated for us, does death still exist for the eternal unsaved souls in some place else, called hell?

Q. If the unsaved, eternal souls were never given the Gift Eternal Life, is the Spirit of God in hell also, keeping them alive?

Q. In which scenario of 1&2 is
1 Corinthians 15:26 fulfilled, whereby death is totally eradicated and eliminated/destroyed?

Now, here is the question that DIVIDES the church:
Will the unsaved dead be given a second chance, AFTER Christ returns for His church, and are resurrected/raptured?
Your answer is:
1. YES
2. NO
How you answered, will tell you whether your overall doctrinal stand is in truth, or it is in error.

Hello @Earburner

This requires a separate thread to be properly discussed. Why do you assume that nobody knows their 'doctrinal stance'? Simply because they have not chosen to engage with you in this subject.

* I believe that man became a living soul,
* I also believe that 'the breath of life' was simply that:- 'LIFE': breathed into Adam by God.
* Man does not have an immortal soul. He is of the earth, earthy.
* Hell is the grave, or the place of the dead, (Trans. from Sheol or Hades)
* Hell (Trans. from Gehenna) refers to the fires of the end time judgment.
* 'The soul that sinneth it shall die', and 'the wages of sin is death': not eternal conscious punishment.
* Death will be the last enemy to be destroyed. When Death and Hell ( ie., the grave or the place of the dead) will be cast into the lake of fire.

* In answer to your question, for which you require a 'yes' or 'no' response: I believe it requires a more considered reply than a mere, 'yes' or 'no'. For Romans 2 tells us of a day in which God, in Christ, will judge the secrets of men's hearts, and there will be those who will be granted 'life', who have never heard the gospel of the grace of God. For God will judge justly according to His knowledge of men's hearts. There is also a judgement of the nations that will take place, so I can't give a 'yes' or 'no' answer to this. If that places me in the 'error' bracket in your estimation, that is entirely up to you. However, I do not know sufficiently well the order of the events that will take place at the end of this age, to answer you as you require.

Have you made the distinction of what "the breath of life" really is, when you read Genesis 6:17 and Genesis 7:15, 22 ?

I say mankind IS Both...
A Living Soul and has a Living Soul.

God Does Two important Things.
He CREATES "something", that Did Not Exist, To Come into Existance, BY, His Idea, His Word, His Power.

He MAKES "a CREATED Thing" Changed to APPEAR and Become "something" different.

God "CREATED" the Earth (dry land).
God reached His hand to the dust of the Dry Land and FORMED / SHAPED a BODY, and Called THAT "thing", a Man.

That Body/Man was a GOOD and Wonderfully "MADE" Vessel.
One little "problem"...
That Body could DO nothing.
Quickly God Resolved the "problem".
God who IS Life, Gave Life TO That Body.
HOW God Gave that Body Life, was To Blow Life INTO that Body.
WHAT God Blew Into that Body, was A Soul (God had MADE) With Gods Breath IN the Soul, (sent INTO the Body) By God Blowing INTO the Man.

Thereafter a Formed thing of Dust is called mankind of thing.
A Mankind of thing with Gods Breath of Life "IN" it is called A Living Soul.

A Mankind of Bodily thing, was wonderfully Created "with its own Life, called Blood."
That Blood LIFE Became MADE Living, Once God Blew Soul Life into that Body.
The Body IS a Mortal thing, which means, IT Shall Die.
The Soul belongs To God.
The LIFE IN the Soul (Gods Breath), Belongs to God.
The FLESH and BLOOD Body belongs to man.

When The Body is DYING...
Gods soul With His Breath Departs the Body.
The Body Dies its Mortal Blood LIFE...and the MAN is called A DEAD BODY, a Dead Man.

The Name of the man...is Given man, by man.
(Adam, Jesus, Ishmael, Isaac, John and a few others are the Exception), having been given Original Names BY God.

The name of a MAN and the Name of an imparted or Departed SOUL are called, by the SAME Name.

Souls contain Gods Breath of Life.
A soul IN a Body...the Body is brought into a Living state.
A soul OUT of the Body IS Still Living, and the Body IS Dead.

Gen 2:7 God formed man (from dust)
Isa 57:16 Souls God has made.
Ezek 18:4 All souls are Gods.
Gen 2:7 Gods Breath of Life Imparted Into man, is an ALIVE man.
Gen 35:18 Body Dead, Living Soul departing out of Body.
Gen 23:11 Men directed to bury Dead Bodies.
Luke 24:51 Faithful souls Depart dead body and escorted to heaven.
Luke 16:23 Unfaithful souls Depart dead body and Sent to hell.

Body, & Spirit of A man...Begin their Forming by God of an Earthly Nature, out of the Earth.
Every Body "brought into a Living state" IS BY the Natural Body "receiving" A Living Soul into the nostrils of the Body... Gods Breath of Supernatural Life.

Many of men's BODILY (Blood lives have Died), and been buried.
No Living souls IN or OUT of Bodies or Bodies have been "Judged" TO BE destroyed...or the "Sentence" of Distruction "carried out"...Yet.

Every man's "body, soul, spirit" Shall be Judged and Sentenced.

The outcome is NOT a secret.
Any man WHOSE:
IF a Body was Faithful...That Body Shall Be Raised in a new Body.
IF a Soul was Faithful...That Soul IS Restored to Good, and Saved.
IF a Spirit of man was Faithful...That Spirit was Circumcised and Became Made A New Spirit. (BY Gods SEED)
That is a Wholly Whole man, Perfected, By the Lord God...
And Acceptable By God, according TO His WAY, For that man To Exist, and Forever Live With The Lord God, as Gods Inheritance.

IF a man Rejects Gods Offering TO Restore and Make a man bodily, soul, spirit WHOLLY WHOLE and Perfect-ED...
That man will Not receive Gods SEED, (thus no New (Born Again) spirit given that man).
Life of Gods Breath Will Return To God.
The Body and Soul of that man Shall be Destroyed, IN Hell, Eternally Separated From God and Remembered No More.

1 Thes 5:
[23] And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit
AND soul AND body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Glory to God,
Taken

Hi Chris, Thank you for your sincere and honest reply.
I must say that the Lord has given you great understanding through His Spirit.
For without Him within us, we are just reading the words of the Bible, gaining only a historical knowledge, heaped upon by the preconcieved doctrines of men.

Hebrews 9[24] For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
[25] Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
[26] For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world:
but now once in the end of the world
hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

[27] And, AS it is appointed unto men once to die [through Adam],
but after this [appointment] [came] the judgment [Life through Christ-John 3:18]:
[28] So, Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;
and unto them that look for him, shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Revelation 20[15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life
was cast into the lake of fire.
[This is the second death.-verse 14].

Do you have any thoughts on Heb. 9:26-
"...but now once in the end of the world hath He appeared..."

Are we to understand that "the end of the world" began with the judgment unto life through faith in Jesus' Sacrifice?
Personally, I do believe so!

That was what Paul desired, 'the redemption of our body': which takes place at the resurrection out from among the dead: when mortality puts on immortality, and corruption puts on incorrup

wadr you groan bc you have not become a little child; you are still in the professor stage, yes? This is that and that is this, like Taken and Eb up there above? This IS that, that IS this, i guess at some point you even start mentally stamping your foot, maybe even posting in colors and whatnot? Galileans, why do you stand there looking up into the sky?

You will see Him come down in the same way you saw Him go up so either yall are lying--not mistaken, not in error, but as you speak in Absolutes you are just flat-out lying--or the Bible is, right? Bc how can both be true, Galileans?

See bc There is only One Immortal, Who dwells in unapproachable light, and
I will annul your bargain with death, and
No one has ever gone up to heaven, but He Who came down from it

so i mean no offense here ok, but you are gravely sinning when you speak factoids here as if you knew something for certain when you do not.
Death More Abundantly is surely not going to manifest in the way your woman hopes it might, and tomorrow will be less pleasant for you than today is imo
beware the thief in teh night

but fwiw im glad yall found each other, and i hope you have a nice day ok

Hello @Earburner,

Thank you for your response.

* Please bear with me while I look at the words themselves for a moment. The margin of my Bible informs me that the word, 'END' is a translation of the Greek, 'sunteleia', (and not 'telos'):- which means 'closing time', denoting the joining of two age-times: i.e., the closing of one, leading on to the other. The 'suntelea' marking the closing period, and telos marks the actual and final end.

The words, 'the end of the world' (aion = age): or 'the end of the age', (age-time or dispensation). The expression occurs 6 times, in Matthew 13:39, 40 & 49; Matthew 24:3; 28:20; Hebrews 9:26.

* This indicates to me, that the Lord came at the end of that age: the age then present; which was coming to a close.

* Had Israel repented during the approx. 40 year period covered by the book of Acts, then Christ would have returned then (see Acts 3:19-21), and the events prophesied concerning that event would have been set in motion. However Israel did not repent and this now awaits a future day for it's fulfilment. God in His foreknowledge obviously knew that this would occur, and had provisioned for it in His revelation to the Apostle Paul concerning the mystery: in which Christ would be 'in' (or 'among') the Gentiles; for salvation had been sent to the Gentiles (Acts 28:28), making them independent of the nation of Israel for salvation, which had formerly been 'of the Jews' (John 4:22). This marked (I believe) the beginning of a new age, in which Jew and Gentile believers were equal and united in a joint body, formerly not known, this knowledge having been hid in God since the world began (Ephesians 3:9 & Colossians 1:26).

Thank you

ever seeking knowledge but never learning, etcetc
and he who says he know anything does not yet know as he ought so wadr the Bible is not your private whore-house, thankfully, for you to piss all over in your selfish ego-driven quest for immortality, and you have no business here wadr.

That or i dont. Which is it?

Hello @bbyrd009,

This is totally out of order.
You do not speak to anyone like that,
let alone a fellow member of the forum.

You should apologise.
In Christ Jesus

wadr you groan bc you have not become a little child; you are still in the professor stage, yes? This is that and that is this, like Taken and Eb up there above? This IS that, that IS this, i guess at some point you even start mentally stamping your foot, maybe even posting in colors and what not? Galileans, why do you stand there looking up into the sky?

You will see Him come down in the same way you saw Him go up so either yall are lying--not mistaken, not in error, but as you speak in Absolutes you are just flat-out lying - or the Bible is, right? Bc how can both be true, Galileans?

See bc There is only One Immortal, Who dwells in unapproachable light, and
I will annul your bargain with death, and
No one has ever gone up to heaven, but He Who came down from it

so i mean no offense here ok, but you are gravely sinning when you speak factoids here as if you knew something for certain when you do not.
Death More Abundantly is surely not going to manifest in the way your woman hopes it might, and tomorrow will be less pleasant for you than today is imo
beware the thief in teh night

but fwiw im glad yall found each other, and i hope you have a nice day ok

Hello @bbyrd009,

I have no idea what you mean I'm afraid. I can't follow what you are saying.
* You say you do not mean to offend, but if that is so why are you being offensive?

Hello @Earburner

1. This requires a separate thread to be properly discussed.
2, Why do you assume that nobody knows their 'doctrinal stance'? Simply because they have not chosen to engage with you in this subject.

1. Not really. Aren't we following the thoughts of OP about the title of this thread?
2. Everyone's doctrinal stand, from the beginning of understanding Creation, whether right, wrong or indifferent, taints every other topical doctrine down line, right into the book of Revelation.

If you would stay with the OP core question of this thread, you also could contribute, and understand the truth/facts of Creation, better than you do.
