Oh, turns out I'm not that "crazy" and "strange" and "imaginative" after all, right? :csm

Neither did I - see for yourself.

Nah, you do that. I've shown you there's only two bodies God's Bible knows about. He absolutely knew that. When will you guys realize that verse 8 is merely his desire, not his expectation? Did Paul say "...but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up by going straight to heaven"...

Did the Christian's desire to be "present at the Cracker Barrel" eliminate having to drive there from the pew? Neither does Paul's desire to be "present with the Lord" eliminate him having to wait like Job in the grave "until my change come".

I'm waiting to see if your research will lead you to conclude that "anointed ones" in the original Hebrew is literally "sons of oil". I learned this years ago, so I think I'll pass on being instructed by someone who won't can't be bothered to investigate it when it's handed to him on a silver...

You have only misinterpreted NT verses to support this claim. "...though he were dead, yet shall he live." - Jesus Not "spiritual" but "literal" death, contextually by the entire reason of their conversation: a 4 day dead dude. Look, my point is impossible to miss, yet you've somehow managed...

"perserved BLAMELESS" meaning "free from defilement of sin". There's gonna be a lot of professing Christians who will not meet Jesus in peace because their continued practice of iniquity proved that they "loved darkness rather than light". Exactly what it says Exactly what it says - God first...

Not my imagination - the two "anointed ones" are in the original language rendered "sons of oil". I'll pass on responding to the rest of your post, but thank you, and I hope you learn to do a little research before characterizing other spiritual propositions as "strange" and "crazy" and...

Only because you crawled into your "willful ignorance" bomb shelter. BTW, here's another one: Your active imagination is the reason for your continued hermeneutical hodgepodge. He never said that. Which means we don't have "life" until then. Get it? He didn't say "...that mortality might be...

Sorry, but we don't get to add a third category of "body" to the only God's two: mortal "earthly house" immortal "house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens" I'll try to explain it more clearly: Paul, speaking to the righteous, makes an inseparable link between the being "clothed...

We can either guess or we can allow "holy men who spake as they were moved by the holy ghost" to interpret Revelation 11 symbolism for us. In Scripture, "holy men" represent the Holy Spirit as "oil". The "holy man" Zechariah plainly tells us in chapter 4 that the olive trees aka "sons of oil"...

Any scholar will tell us we can't base a doctrine on uninterpreted, symbolic passages in Revelation, which you can find everywhere online. Yes, the spirit is eternal, but the soul is not. Genesis 2:7 KJV says it exists only as a consequence of the union of the Body and the Breath of Life. :)

Exactly, the word "soul" indicates "human being" or "life" - not a disembodied ghost. The Bible says all creatures have "life" - does that mean they have "disembodied souls"? BTW, Jesus' spirit went up but His soul went down. That's a popular but erroneous interpretation. Jesus "preached to...

It's not egotistical or boastful or arrogant to claim to have the truth...when you indeed have it. Open your eyes to see Paul equates being "clothed upon" with an immortal body with "life" - understand? "..BUT CLOTHED UPON, THAT MORTALITY MIGHT BE SWALLOWED UP OF LIFE." Get it? Paul is saying...

I'm about to drop a 100-megaton Truth Bomb on you with incalculable collateral damage: In 2 Corinthians 5, Paul plainly says the life that swallows up mortality is the life in which we are "clothed upon"...agreed? So, if "naked, unclothed, disembodied immortal souls" that supposedly go...

You've shown nothing, friend. While Genesis 2:7 KJV does not allow the "soul" to be defined as anything but the "whole of man" - every other verse you appeal to for "proof otherwise" is an inflexible subjective interpretation. Again, your argument is based on a gratuitous inflexible subjective...

In what circumstance do statements like "a car has a car" and "a TV has a TV" be applicable? Here, the word "soul" remains defined as the "whole of man" - not a "part of man". The word "nephesh" means "life" - not a disembodied ghost that flies off at death. In these cases, it means "his life"...

Have you read the Great Controversy? We can't escape the reality of "us vs. them" because that's exactly what's happening. Pastor David Gates of Bolivia publicly preached that he knew an SDA physician that was contacted by a catholic church priest and asked if he was willing to treat a fellow...

Verse 23 qualifies verse 22 by saying the Rich Man saw Lazarus "in his bosom" - the man's own bosom between his shoulders - which is physiological, not geographical - right? So, the only way to conclude "Abraham's bosom" is a geographically located "subterranean chamber" is to ignore verse 23...

Do you consider the inscription on the coin that the papacy had struck to commemorate the slaughter of 100,000 French Huguenots "hate speech"? The Whore of Babylon will soon be burnt with fire and those who refuse to "come out of her, My people" will burn along with her, according to Revelation...
