    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    I agree, Paul is talking about our spiritual mind set with Christ, keeping his commandments, statues and Judgement, and showing forth good works. "Here is the patience of the saints; here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus" (Revelation 14:12). Because remember...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Now we can go back to Roman chapter 8 and read it with understanding. Take another look at John before you begin to read this next set of verses. Jesus said in John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Once again let's let the Book do the talking. Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Your are a dead man walking if you are not quicken by the spirit of God. Pay close attention to Paul here. Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins: We were dead in our trespass and sin. This would be a spiritual death not physical. Ephesians 2: 2 Wherein...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Let's go to a couple of Psalm to confirm this. Psalm 80:17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. 18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. 19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Let’s see how. Look what Isaiah said here, and keep this scripture in mind when you are about to call the physic hot line. Isaiah 8:19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    Some of the great patriarchs in (Heb.11) gave up a lot, some even their lives in exchange for their soul. You see they had great faith (belief) that their souls (bodies) would be raised at the first resurrection. Paul says in Hebrews 11: 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Look what Paul said. Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. That was your second witness. Here is another example. Proverbs 31:10...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    continuing the lesson.....Now, let us go into Revelation 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: Look at what John said, "I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    I showed you in the book, exactly where you can the first resurrection, in Rev. 20th Chapter. Whither you believe it or not, it's on you. I've proven what I believe, you don't believe it, and that's fine, because it's between you and the Lord from this point on.

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Theirs a first resurrection and their is a white throne Judgment, which is the second death or resurrection. Why, is that hard to understand? I've been showing the first resurrection verses, it shouldn't be this hard to see. Again in Revelation 20: 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Let's see what David says about the dead in Psalms 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. "Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Back to the lesson....Let's check out a few more Psalm. Psalm 6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? Was that hard to understand? No. If you are dead you have no wisdom, no knowledge, no memory who can you praise? No one. Here is another Psalm...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    This is the first resurrection, that whole event is the first resurrection at the seventh trump. Let's take a look what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15: 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Yes I can because after a thousand years the books in Revelation 21: 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Yes it is literally, and they are not in heaven. You are linking the wrong verses together. Revelation 20: 4, 5 needs to be link with 1 Thessalonians 4: 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    Let's go into Revelation 20: 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark...

    For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return

    In the beginning Adam and Eve wasn't suppose to die, but the book says Adam sin. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (Romans 5:12). So this is now and interruption in life, but you when die in Christ...
