    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    You're right, everyone one of us must choose what scriptural truth the Bible is teaching. It seems you and I differ in what the scriptures are teaching us regarding the word Soul and whether Jesus was mortal or immortal, when he came to earth as a human being. I believe that human beings are...

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    I understand you believe Jesus to be God. I don't. I believe that the only begotten Son of God is the Word, not that God is the Word. Yes it was the Word that became flesh but that means I believe it was the only begotten Son of God who became flesh, because I believe the Word is the only...

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    Nowhere in the scriptures does it say it was the Christ in the lord Jesus body that left him. The only begotten Son of God was and is the Christ. As I said nowhere in scripture does it say the Christ was in Jesus body. Also the scriptures don't say the only begotten Son of God becomes the only...

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    That he did not possess immortality before his resurrection by God is seen from the inspired apostle’s words at Roman 6:9 when it says, "Christ, now that he has been raised up from the dead, dies no more; death is master over him no more," and Revelation 1:17, 18 confirms this when it says...

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    I'm not saying it was based on the flesh. I'm saying that I have found no scriptures that apply immortality to the only begotten Son of God before his death. I haven't found anywhere in scripture where Immortality is applied to Jesus until after his death and resurrection, not before that.

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    As I have said I have found nowhere in Scripture that immortality is applied to Jesus before his death. Also from my research of the word immortality, my understanding is that it means, deathlessness, and refers to the quality of life that is enjoyed, its endlessness and indestructibility. So I...

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    You have the right to believe what you want, but I haven't found anywhere in scripture that immortality is applied to Jesus until after he was resurrected from the dead. So I haven't found anywhere before Jesus death that immortality was applied to him.

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    The only begotten Son of God was originally in heaven with God until God sent his only begotten Son to mankind. So I disagree that there was something inside Jesus body that was eternal. Reasoning like that means you're saying the only begotten Son of God was immortal, eternal. But if that were...

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    Then you and I are in agreement that before Jesus sacrificed his human life his human body for mankind he was mortal. If Jesus had been immortal before he sacrificed himself it would have been impossible for him to be put to death. So yes the only begotten Son of God didn't have immortality...

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    The Greek word immortality is athanasia and is formed by the negative prefix a followed by a form of the word for “death” (thanatos). Thus, the basic meaning is “deathlessness,” and refers to the quality of life that is enjoyed, its endlessness and indestructibility. (1 Corinthians 15:53,54; 1...

    What happens to your soul when you die?

    I mean I'm not going to contradict what's written down in my English version of the scriptures. It says at Genesis 2:7, "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." This scripture is very clear that God...

    What happens to your soul when you die?

    I don't care how many times you ask, I'm not going to contradict what my Bible says at Genesis 2:7.

    What happens to your soul when you die?

    Genesis 2:7 is a scripture that teaches us how God formed the first human being into existence. In my own words this scripture is teaching me that God took dust from the ground and formed the flesh and blood human body from that dust. Then God blew the breath/spirit of life into that flesh and...
