I agree, the life we receive through Christ is of His Spirit in us. The Spirit of Christ in living humans has quickened/is quickening (made/making alive) our spirit to live forever. Which is why Christ says whoever lives and believes in Me shall NEVER die. When Christ says we shall never die...

This is true, but I don't believe Christ is limiting the warnings to first century Jewish disciples. The warnings are written as a warning to those disciples and every disciple that would come after them throughout the ages. The time that was drawing near is not reference to 70 AD. The time...

Yes, Jesus was more concerned about building the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven, but His disciples had a difficult time letting go of the Covenant of Old they had learned and obeyed for many generations. I believe that's why Christ told them to stop admiring all that represented the Old...

To be a living soul is to be alive. This life can be eternal spiritual life through the Spirit of Christ in us, and it is also physical life that gives life to flesh, through spirit that became a living soul. The flesh dies, and if the man of flesh was indwelt with the Holy Spirit, the spirit...

Of course not! This passage is depicting a vision of heaven, as creation existed before sin and death through sin entered in. Heaven is the interim for the spiritual body of Christ, living souls, to wait after physical death until time for building the Kingdom of God is finished. These are some...

Fulfillment of the literal destruction came in 70 AD and over and done. But the spiritual fulfillment began to come to pass at the cross and has been on-going and shall continue until the last trumpet sounds that time given for building the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven as the gospel is...

The saints are the eternal Kingdom of God in heaven, now through Christ's Spirit in us, and in the age to come through resurrected immortal bodies!

I agree, but I was referring to what we shall possess after Christ comes again and all things have been made new. 1 John 3:2 (KJV) Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see...

Yes, New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem shall come down from heaven after the first heaven and earth have passed away. Why would life when all things are made new be any different, only much better, than what we have now? Revelation 21:1-3 (KJV) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the...

Adam's spirit did not die when they disobeyed God, because life, both natural physical/mortal life, and supernatural spiritual eternal life is of the spirit that alone gives life. Natural physical life comes from natural spirit in man, and supernatural eternal spiritual life comes from the Holy...

The New Covenant in Christ is a completely new creation. It is the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven that is now represented through the universal Church through God's Covenant Body.

I find much I agree with you here but would point out that natural man does not have the Holy Spirit for life, but they still possess mortal life through spirit naturally in them. 1 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV) But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are...

Christ came in the Kingdom of God that is not physical but spiritual. Christ most often, in fact commonly uses physical things to convey a greater spiritual picture of fulfillment that points us to the spiritual Kingdom of God that cannot be physically seen. When Jesus says, "See ye all these...

That's not quite what Scripture tells us! It's true that the blood of Christ has made atonement for ALL sin without exception! However, the atonement made through the blood of Christ is not automatically imputed to ALL without exception! For man to receive the gift of eternal life and be...

Are not the words of Isaiah spiritually applicable since the advent of Christ' coming to earth a man with the Kingdom of God? The promises of God to make all things new again now spiritually built, and when complete physically the new heaven and new earth that shall be? Isaiah speaks in the...

I'm glad we find some agreement! Christ and the prophets of Old also often speak of things that are now, since the first advent of Christ on-going as the gospel of the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed. I don't believe there is an age in between this age we are now in, symbolized a thousand...

For John to see disembodied (headless) souls (life) of those who have been physically martyred tells us John saw life (living souls) where there should not be life (living souls). When they were physically martyred their spirit returned to God with LIFE (spiritual body/ living souls). Man is...

According to Scripture, whosoever believes Jesus is the Son of God are overcomers, because we have been born of God and have overcome the world. IOW our faith numbers us as overcomers. 1 John 5:4-5 (KJV) For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that...

Exactly! A&E did not die physically or spiritually on the very day they disobeyed God. They became destined to die in the day/age/time they lived, and they did. They did not spiritually die because it is the spirit in man that breathes physical life into them. What was lost to mankind when...

Adam did not spiritually die on the day that they disobeyed God. On that day mankind became destined to death because the Spirit that breathed life into them departed from them, just as Scripture shows He sometimes did before Pentecost. They became natural man now with the same nature as the...
