In one sense I agree there is assured hope for having life in heaven after we physically die. But the life we have in heaven after our body breathes its last is only a temporary home. But heaven is not where we shall have immortal & incorruptible resurrected physical bodies from the graves to...

Yes, the better resurrection the Old Covenant faithful saints looked for was physical resurrection to immortality and incorruption. The Bible shows us physical resurrection to physical life again. Those resurrections were not the better resurrection the Old Covenant faithful looked for...

No it isn't! If that were true than Paul telling us we are saved by grace through faith when we were spiritually dead makes ZERO sense! While I agree faith in Christ is believing in Christ, but that faith/believing comes to spiritually DEAD man supernaturally by God's grace. FAITH...

Where in Scripture can we find "a resurrection that is better than the normal one"?

Who has argued that angels or Satan were or shall be saved? In fact the point I made proves that devils believing Christ does not mean they have saving faith!

How does a man/woman spiritually "dead in trespasses and sins" obtain faith IN Christ to believe Him? What of mankind is DEAD before being saved? According to Paul we had to be made alive (quickened) by the Holy Spirit when we were spiritually dead to believe IN Christ for salvation...

The spirit is the breath of life! Without spirit there is no physical life, which is why every living breathing creature as well as human beings is a living soul. What only men/women of faith have that other living breathing creatures do not have is the Spirit of Christ in us, giving us...

I agree mostly, you've shown a good example of "nephesh". It is used to describe every living, breathing thing upon the earth. Everything having a breath is defined as either living creature or living soul. Soul defines the whole living breathing creature that is body + spirit. The body of...

But even the devils believe! But does their believing saving faith in Christ for eternal life? No! We believe many things, or we could say we have faith in many things, but faith to believe in Christ for eternal life is a supernatural act of the Holy Spirit. Faith is a noun, that is...

Behold: "The spirit is the real you." I agree! We could say 'we' are trapped in bodies destined to death. For those who die in Christ, death of the body sets us free, and our spirit ascends to heaven a spiritual body of believers still living souls. But in heaven our spirit as living soul...

Soul represents the WHOLE living being! Because every living breathing creature upon the earth is a living soul. The breath of life God breathed into man was for him to be spiritually minded. The spiritual mind God breathed into man at creation is what became "dead in trespasses and sins" on...

This is insane! Noah left the earth, but he did NOT leave the water that covered the whole earth! Noah did not go up into the sky and nowhere from Scripture does it say he did.

The topic asks whether or not man has an "immortal soul"? God did NOT create humans with an immortal soul, but with flesh from the dust and spiritual mind (breath of life) and man became a LIVING SOUL! Not an immortal living soul, but alive with appetite, ability to think, and every bodily...

They could have known the Messiah! They had only to believe, according to Covenant Promise. That's why Christ is spoken of as "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Just as we, who live after the cross look back to Christ, those of Old Covenant Israel were to look forward...

Since the earth was created for physical living beings, and the new earth shall be made new again for the same purpose, if our mortal body is not resurrected immortal & incorruptible for life on the new earth, what's the point of resurrecting the physical bodies of the faithful dead from the...

That which is resurrected is our physical body. The body dies because our body does not in this world possess immortal & incorruptible life (souls). The body of believers resurrected in an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds shall then be changed from mortal to immortal and corruptible to...

Yes, this is exactly how God tells us man was created. The confusion comes because instead of saying He created man with a body and a spirit and he/she became a living soul, God says He created a body and breathed the breath of life into him and he became a living soul. People read "breath of...

No, the body does not survive, it returns to the dust from which it came. But eternal life survives physical death through the eternal spirit we have by grace through faith when we are born again. Where Scripture speaks of the existence of 'souls', the expectation is that we understand that...

The Kingdom of God in heaven is a spiritual habitation, where flesh and blood cannot inherit. 1 Corinthians 15:50 (KJV) Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 1 Corinthians 15:44 (KJV) It is sown a...

For about the umpteenth time now, man is outer physical body + inner spirit and together they are "living souls." I've already given my understanding of the verse you quote. Paul is in essence saying that he prays that the God of peace will sanctify (to be made holy) you WHOLLY/COMPLETELY...
