John tells us antichrist had already come in his day, and that even many antichrists are now/then present, how does that equate to ONE antichrist coming in spirit? Many have already, and continue to deny that Jesus is the Son of God.

Yes, anti means to be against Christ, and as IndianRob says anti or those who are against Christ are not ONE but are MANY!

Take it up with the Apostle Paul. The natural body in Christ is of flesh and is mortal, the spiritual body in Christ is eternal and of heaven. While alive on this earth we are clothed with natural, mortal body of flesh. When we die our earthly body (house) returns to the earth. Those who die...

Yes, and after his body died, Stephen, with blessed assurance knew that death of his mortal body could not kill his eternal spirit, and that after death he would still be a living spiritual soul in heaven. Stephen believed Christ when He says that whosoever lives and believes in Him shall NEVER...

The Bible tells us it is the 'spirit' in mankind that returns to God in heaven. I agree, the spirits in heaven that have the Holy Spirit of Christ within continue to be living souls. Because where there is life there is a living soul. The spirit can live on eternally after our physical body...

Bodies die when it breathes its last. Our breath of life come from spirit, when the body dies the spirit returns to God who gave it. Will the spirit within mankind return to God a living soul (possessing life), or will our spirit return to God to be in silence and darkness? Only the spirit...

The mystery that had been hidden in times of Old that is now made known through the Scriptures and the prophets is that Gentiles within all the nations of the world would be eternally saved when they believe. And that Gentiles of faith would be saved with Jews of faith and they would complete...

Perhaps it's because spirits without flesh and bone are unseen? John either supernaturally saw or was given to understand that for those who physically die in Christ there is still life. Only our body is dead, but we as spiritual body, living souls are alive in heaven after our body dies...

They may be scholars but that does not give them understanding of Scripture. If they don't know what it means to have eternal life, don't know how they can be called biblical scholars? The spirit of saints is eternal because there is life after physical death which is called a living soul...

To be a physical living creature upon the earth there must be the breath of life that is spirit. Because it is the spirit (breath of life) that gives physical life to our mortal body, and it is the Holy Spirit that gives believers the eternal breath of life (spirit). The physically dead do not...

If that is what Paul is saying, why does he write the following? 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 (KJV) Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be...

He saw life where there should be none. To be a soul without human form is to be alive in heaven a spiritual body. Yes they continued to possess life (souls) after physical death, but they could not ascend to heaven a spiritual body until after the cross and resurrection. To be waiting under...

The Bible also shows martyred souls in heaven after death that are very much alive. Clearly, a living soul can also define a spiritual body in heaven. Wherever there is a breath of life (spirit) there is a living soul. Since the life believers possess in Christ is eternal, even physical death...

I believe Scripture tells us that man is made from the dust of the earth (physical body) and has a breath of life (spirit) that gives there physical body life, and together body + spirit become living souls. Soul can refer to the whole natural body, or it can refer to the spiritual body alive...

The word soul indicates life. Man was created with body + breath of life (spirit) and man became a living soul. Man can have life whether in human form or spirit form. Because the breath of life in human bodies comes from our spirit. And all spirits return to God who gave it. Even the spirit...

Are you being serious?

There seems to be much confusion about the ETERNAL life we spiritually possess now when we are saved, and the IMMORTAL life we shall physically possess when the hour comes and all who are in the graves who have done good shall be resurrected immortal & incorruptible.

You just said they didn't "see death of any kind"? Abraham's bosom is where the beggar, Lazarus went when he physically died because Abraham's bosom was the grave that held all those of Old who died in faith, believing in the Messiah/Savior to come.

Then why are the physically dead buried in graves in the earth?

You don't believe Old Covenant saints were saved by grace through faith when they believed the prophets who foretell of a Messiah/Savior that would come?
