    What JESUS Taught Us At The Last Supper = John 13;3-5

    But you don't seem to understand. When we are in Christ, that is from the moment we believe, and have the Spirit of Christ in us we have overcome already and are spiritually in the Kingdom of God. When Christ comes the second time, there will not be another one thousand years of time given...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Because I believe Christ Bob! I believe Him when He says, "Whosoever lives and believes in Me shall NEVER die." If death of our body means death of our spirit as well, meaning we are no longer a living spiritual soul after physical death, then we must reject the words of Christ because He...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    The spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven has always been represented by the Church on earth. The Church that began of old through the nation of Israel, which began to be "the Church in the wilderness." (Acts 7:38) The Kingdom of God, represented by the Church on earth was indeed taken from the...

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    More opinion, with no supporting Scripture! So typical of all Premillennialists! Answering your unbiblical opinions would be an exercise in futility! If you wish to discuss biblical truths, you have to actually use the Scriptures to prove what you allege to be truth.

    Thank you for the kind words, Marty.

    What JESUS Taught Us At The Last Supper = John 13;3-5

    I think the real confusion comes from lacking understanding of the difference between 'spirit' and 'soul'. Every living creature has both a spirit and until physical death is a living soul. Having a spirit means we have a mind that controls every physical bodily function. Through the spirit in...

    After the Devil is Cast Out

    John defines who the woman is, depicting her as fulfillment of Joseph's dream. In the dream, Joseph, as a foreshadow of Christ, would be ruler over his people Israel. Joseph's dream foreshadowed the coming of Christ. Joseph as a depiction of Christ would rule over his father, the sun, mother...

    After the Devil is Cast Out

    This war in heaven has already happened. It happened with the birth of the man child, who is Jesus Christ come to this world a human. Beginning with verse 7 proves an agenda. We cannot understand the timing of the war in heaven that took place when Christ was born without quoting the passage...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    The physical body will be resurrected to life in the hour coming. Mankind shall all be physically resurrected to physical life, or to resurrection of damnation. Christ knowing, every human body is destined to die, just as Lazarus was physically dead. Martha, the sister of Lazarus, like you...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    There is no superiority, for sons of men are as the beasts concerning our flesh. The flesh of every breathing creature is destined to die. But the spirit of man goes up or it is as in death goes downward to the earth. The spirit gives life, when the sons of men die no one but God knows...

    What JESUS Taught Us At The Last Supper = John 13;3-5

    To be made in His likeness and image was to be created with the ability to live forever in sinless perfection and having the ability to have fellowship and communion with Him through His Spirit breathed into them. All of this was lost when they willfully chose to disobey.

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Christ warns those who are of 'the dead', who shall die in their sins.

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    I thought I was clear, the Old Covenant faithful saints.

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    A dead body is a dead soul. Only the dead, or those who die without Christ, therefore without His life-giving Spirit are both in silence physically in the grave, also spiritually in heaven. The man who physically dies IN CHRIST is no longer a living soul physically. But is still alive...

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    Wpm asks a valid question where is your proof for this supposed one thousand years found in 1Cor 15:23-26? This reply in no way proves what you assume. Typical Premillennial guessing game, are you sure you aren't getting your answers from the 'Left Behind' book of fiction?

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    The dead will be physically resurrected from the grave they were sewn in. The dead will know nothing after their body dies, the next conscience moment for the dead will be the GWTJ when the dead will be resurrected to give account to God by what is written in the books and the book of life...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    I believe we each have to answer that question ourselves. I know from the warnings of Christ the judgment of God is something to be avoided. But there are verses in Scripture that indicate the pain and suffering from God's judgment is eternal, and there are other verses in Scripture that seem...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Without discussing the judgment of God against the wicked, I am convinced through the Scripture that hell, when defined as grave, or place of the dead, is just that. The place of the dead! The dead knowing nothing, those who go down into darkness and silence. When the body goes into the...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Though hell, hades, and Sheol are defined as the abode of the dead, or the grave, that is not consistently true throughout Scripture. We also find the Hebrew word géenna translated 'hell'. As you can see by the definition below the word translated 'hell' is associated with eternal fire, and...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Actually Bob, the Bible speaks plainly regarding who the 144,000 are. They are "of all the tribes of the children of Israel." These symbolize the faithful remnant saved from Old Covenant Israel. Though the Spirit has always been with faithful saints of old, He was not sent to be IN the...
