Dear rwb, This is the formula for life: SPIRIT + PHYSICAL BODY = A LIVING SOUL or SPIRIT + SPIRITUAL BODY = A QUICKENING SPIRIT Scripture doesn't teach that our SPIRIT will have life and consciousness without a body. You said: Because our spirit has eternal/everlasting life through the Holy...

Dear rwb, You are describing a spiritual body and not a physical body. A physical body needs food, oxygen and a moderate climate in order to survive. If we are resurrected in a physical body, how are we going to join Christ in the air upon our resurrection? Will the physical body have the...

Dear rwb, 1Cor 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. Paul says that the natural body is "raised a spiritual body". There is no transition period after our resurrection which takes us from a physical body to a...

Dear rwb, Concerning the resurrection, I am confused by your comments - they just don't make any sense to me. This is your supporting scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:44-50 (KJV) It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And...

Dear rwb, Concerning life after death and the bodily resurrection, there is not much more I can present from scripture. I will respond briefly to some of your last comments though. You said: How will those who have died return with Christ from heaven physically since mortal flesh & blood...

Dear rwb, Consider what Daniel was told about the resurrections: Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that...

Dear rwb, You said, Christ was physically dead, but His spirit was given into the Father's hand. The spirit of Christ returned to God alive in the same way every born again believers spirit returns to God. We are alive after physical death spiritually, just as Christ was, through His Spirit...

Dear rwb, You said: I too believe the early rain is spiritually fulfilled after the resurrection of Christ. Before He ascended into heaven He first went into that part of the grave, known of Old as "Abraham's bosom" to set free those who died in faith waiting for the promised Messiah/Saviour to...

Dear rwb, I have read your posts and your understanding is very close to what Christ meant. I agree that Christ is speaking about the "chosen generation" as Peter said. That generation consists of all the Elect who have lived since the Day of Pentecost up until the last Elect person is...

Dear Taken, I have shown you the scriptures that support my statements, however, you won't accept the truth that they teach. Since I am not able to help you at this time, I will end my discussion with you. Joe

Dear Pearl, I forgot to mention that with my last post, that is all the time I have today to be on the forum. If I need to reply again, I will try to do so in the morning (as the Lord wills). Joe

Dear Pearl, I more fully explained my answer in my last post above. Joe

Dear Pearl, You asked: How do you explain your post to me in the earlier quote? Saying I am following Satan? I say this because all new believers after they receive the Early Rain of the Spirit and are "called out" will become deceived by Satan and will fall away. For this reason, it is...

Dear Pearl, The pathway to salvation in this age is the same for all the Elect since Paul wrote 1Tim 1:16. Also, I am not belittling you. However, you take it that way because you have a works based belief system. You believe that if you are not saved, it is your fault, therefore, you take...

Dear Pearl, Yes, Christ loves the entire world (every single person) and because He does, He will come to each of us at a time of His choosing and give us the free gift of the Holy Spirit. With the Spirit, we will believe in Him and be saved. Without the Spirit, we will not believe. Joe

Dear Taken, Again, you are denying the truth that these verses below teach: 1Cor 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit. Rom 3:10 As it is written, there...

Dear Taken, The scriptures which I posted (and which you ignored) contradict what you stated. Why do you not believe those scriptures? Concerning John 12:44-48, the only people who can believe on Christ are the children of God who all have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. 1Cor 12:3...

Dear Taken, I wanted to respond to you because of this statement you made: Every individual person, has the OPTION to Freely accept or Freely reject Gods Offering. Scripture clearly contradicts your statement. Your statement is founded upon the works of man (the Old Covenant) rather than the...

Dear Waiting on him, Yes, Jesus was created by His Father. However, Jesus was created prior to the beginning of this creation. In fact, the Father used Christ to create everything in this creation: 1Cor 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and...

Dear Waiting on him, Revelation is like the Grand Central Station for spiritual symbols which are found elsewhere in scripture. The primary teaching of Revelation is the pathway to salvation that the Elect will travel. Chapter 12 is one of those places where that pathway taught (a little...
