How do you think the angels are bound? How does one bind a spirit being? These human messengers of Satan are bound in death, having died in unbelief, and they will remain bound until ALL the dead are bodily resurrected to life or damnation. In the same way certain unbelievers, human...

A&E could have lived forever, but as you've said through their disobedience, they brought mortality to life. Now all of humanity is born to physically die. Heaven is not nor ever intended to be a habitation for mortal beings. It is, always has been, and always shall be a place for...

These martyred souls are not yet in heaven but "under the altar". I believe this is because John's vision is of those who died before Christ made atonement for sin, and defeated death. They could not ascend to heaven spiritually alive because the Holy Spirit had not yet been sent to awaken...

All of these verses are speaking of the mortal flesh of mankind. But man is made of both body and spirit. None of these verses address what becomes of man's spirit when their bodies become a corpse. It is the spirit, because it is the breath of life, that gives life to our mortal human...

This cannot be the first resurrection of the dead physically. Because there shall be only one resurrection of the dead, when all the dead in the graves shall be resurrected physically to life or damnation. This in the hour coming, when the last trump sounds. Nowhere in Scripture do we read of...

Sorry, but I don't really follow what you are trying to say here. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Jesus brings them (living spirit/soul) with Him from heaven. Where the spirits of just men dwell after their body becomes a corpse. Hebrews 12:22-23 (KJV) But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels...

Yes, I'm not disagreeing with you. Soul is identified by the spirit alive in mankind. And soul is identified as the whole human with body + spirit = living soul. As long as the body lives we are living souls. Where life is found, whether of our body or our spirit through the Spirit of Christ...

How could the spirit of Lazarus ascend to heaven with life before Christ atoned for sin, and defeated death by His cross and resurrection? If Lazarus' spirit ascended to heaven at the moment his body died, then it would have been in silence and darkness until Christ called him back from death...

When you look at Genesis 2 and see how God created man from the dust of the earth (body) breathed into them the breath of life (spirit) that man became a living soul. The spirit is that which gives life to our physical bodies, and a soul is what we become when we possess LIFE. Show proof text...

Mankind shall not possess immortality until the physical body is resurrected and changed from mortal to immortal and corruptible to incorruptible. And only then IF that person died in faith believing in Christ for eternal life. If we do not obtain eternal spirit life through the life of Christ...

Actually the definition of soul is body + spirit = living soul. Man's spirit indwelt with the Holy Spirit of Christ is also called a living (spirit) soul after the body dies, and being filled with life through Christ's Spirit, in heaven that man's spirit is called a soul. The way to understand...

You seem to be confusing 'eternal' life with 'immortal'. That which is immortal (God alone) and that which shall be immortal (the resurrected bodies of faithful saints) means un-decaying, indestructible in essence. The immortal God is the beginning and the end, the first and the last, in Him...

The spirit in man is the breath of life with which our body lives! The spirit is our control center. It operates every function of our body, and sends messages from our brain and heart, and circulatory system. Without the breath of life our spirit gives us, our body would be a corpse, never...

No one is arguing against the belief that when this natural, mortal, corruptible body dies it is the end of physical existence. The physical body of believers will not be alive again until it is resurrected to immortality and incorruptible when the last trump sounds. That's when time given...

And through it's use over the many, many decades has eternally saved more people than your NWT can ever begin to! You want to talk about bias, perhaps an honest evaluation of a translation that did not exist before the 1800's, and originated from so-called faithful men, you would do well to...

Our physical body is destined to life on the new earth. As flesh & blood we will not inherit the Kingdom of God in heaven. When our body dies we will ascend to heaven a celestial/heavenly being like the angels. Our physical bodies will not change from mortal to immortal and corruptible until...

Last but not least I hope I have clearly shown whoever reads here that participation in the "first resurrection" must be during our lifetimes on this earth. We partake of the first resurrection through partaking of Christ, who is "the resurrection and the life." Christ tells us "Ye must be...

Let's look at Rev 20 from another perspective. Revelation 20:4-5 (KJV) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither...

Yes, I don't think we have disagreement about the bodily resurrection that shall come when the last trump sounds. Notice I did not say "second" resurrection, because Scripture says there is a "first resurrection" that one must have part in to overcome the second death. And then there shall be...
