No, he didn't say depart 2 Cor. 5:8 The correct Greek translation is: "We are confident and pleased rather to be absent the body and to be home with the Lord." Context >>> Go back a to verse 6: " being confident therefore always and knowing that being home in the body , we are absent from the...

I just did. To be absent the body is to be present with the Lord.( 2 Cor. 5:8) Do you see a separation of time in that relationship? Phil. 1:23; Luke 23:43; John 3:16, 5:24, 8:51, 11:25-26; Joshua 1:9. 1 Cor. 15:54-55; Psalm 23:4; Rom. 8:38-39; Hosea13:14; 1 Thes. 4:13-14

Believing one way or the other may alter your disposition, the level of your hope, joy, strength in your faith. Paul said, " to be absent the body is to be present with the Lord". Do you understand what that means? You possess a body, soul and spirit. When you separate the body that goes into...

"Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the...

Commandments? Jesus gave us two. If you believe in Him you will do what he says. The Tree of Life is figurative language meaning to consume the Bread of Life, Jesus. He is the source of spiritual life, not to mention physical life as well. Adam and Eve did not eat of the Tree of Life ... until...

God created good food and healing herbs for us to eat. We have just chosen to distort and add to His intended purpose. There are some 10k food additives and many are not good. Europe has banned over 1,300 of them that the USA still uses. I often come to the conclusion that Big Pharma and The...

The scribes who organized the chapters of these books did well except sometimes the context carries over to the next chapter. Imo Rev. 22:1-5 should have been the end of Rev. 21. Vs 6 goes back, sums things up, and should be the beginning of Rev. 22. "These are the messages to the churches ..."...

Scary. I know some of them work; but I have always used natural cures and have avoided doctors and their drugs most of my life.

If that is true, then why are you trying to dismiss me by clinging to one truth that does not support your OP? Or are you trying to make others think that I am in agreement with you? Those tricks don't work. Come on, we have a history of disagreeing with each other, I doubt if you miss me, Bro...

Grace is unmerited favor which is from God, His expression of love which we receive as a gift. But faith cannot possibly come unless He removes our blindness. That is impossible for us to do bybourselves, it is supernatural. He removes blindness, we see, then become enlightened and grow in...

I do not think theTemple will be built soon enough. Holy place means separate. Jerusalem was considered a holy place, separate and distinct from all other cities in the Bible. The Mosque itself is an abomination and stands in the Holy place where the Temple used go be. Abomination is what is...

GOD is sovereign. CHRISTIANITY and the world is exactly where it supposed to be. Because God's plan is perfect! God has woven the fabric of history, allowing for evil and all our blunders, traditons, misguided values along with His Grace, goodness, truth, love, mercy. forgiveness and joy...

I have a Spirit, soul and body. My spirit has been born again, since at birth it was dead. When my body dies, my spirit separates and goes to be with the Lord. So as I possess a physical body, I also have a spirit. God is Spirit. Jesus' spirit existed before he emptied Himself into the womb of...

This is and has been a futile argument with the Non-Trinitarians. I just hope for your sake, John 8:24 doesn't apply to you because you do not think Jesus is GOD. I have many Jehovah Witnesses in my family whom I love and so I am very hopeful the Lord does not regard equality with God as...

Why not look at the whole chapter? God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the world. 3 And He is the radiance of His glory...

You should always read some previous posts in the thread instead if just jumping in there. Usually the answer to your question was already presented. Here In post #99, reveal the truth: Revelation 5:13: All creation worships "Him (Father) who sits on the throne and the Lamb". John 5:23: "That...

Oh brother, did you really have to go through all that. You are avoiding the core meaning which is the feeling and/or expression of reverence and adoration for God. And the Father told the angels and all of us to worship Jesus. Yes, people worship a lot of things, including themselves. It's...

"after the tribulation of those days" implies what was previously mentioned. In a war, one can speak of several battles in the war, it doesn't mean the war is over, there are more battles to come. Likewise in Matthew, He specifically mentioned the Beginning of Sorrows, which has much...

Good, but folks throughout history bowed a knee to any and all kings. The real question is: Do you worship, praise, love and thank Jesus as you would our Father?  Mayt. 2:11: Magi "fell down and worshiped Him" (Jesus as a baby).  Matt. 28:17: After resurrection, "they worshiped Him, but some...
