Jesus had the same body that went into the grave. Likewise believers will have the same body that goes into the grave. Read Ezekiel chapter 37 It's speaking of Israel's resurrection. Besides John said, Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know...

What astounds me is the energy Christians put into the politics of a foreign land.

It's not a different body. Its the same body resurrected. Thats why its called the resurrection. Jesus came out of the tomb in the body He had before the cross. He even showed the disciples His hands and feet. They say the marks from the nails. Christians will also raise in the same body...

What do angels have to do with this?

Christians need human reasoning so that they can determine that the passage about the Comforter teaching all things was a statement that was directed to the Apostles not all Christians.

No, no one goes to Heaven, it's simply not found in the Bible. Also there is no inner man. That is a figurative usage of language. Man is a flesh being and when he dies God's breath returns to Him and the man returns to the dust just as the Scriptures say. Also, you don't get a different body...

Are you aware that these isn't a single passage of Scripture that says people go to Heaven when they die?

I put my replies in red as the system won't let me post BB code at the moment.

It is because I support myself using scripture you just use your own logic and opinions. Really? I've given you both Scripture and logic. However, if you can show that passages that says a man that dies is alive I'm all ears I have admitted it. I also explained it. Your argument has been that...

Really? Repeating my statement is mature? This is mind boggling. I give you an argument based in Scripture and it's weak yet you give me an argument that is completely fabricates without any Scriptural support. Give one passage of Scripture that discussed spiritual death. [qutoe]Yes I have...

If I had only give that as a single source you might have an argument. However, I also showed that it was an early Christian understanding also.

You know, I really expected more from someone your age. And to just repeat what I said is rather childish. I've given you a perfectly good explanation of the statement to Adam in post 5 above. On the other hand you've not given me anything in Scripture explaining how someone can die a non...

Well, Paul wrote to the Christians in the Roman church that there is none righteous. I don't see how he could say that if believers are righteous.

I think you're misunderstanding the phrase "The righteousness of God"

That's not really relevant as it's a transnational decision. The Greek texts that I checked all had "ὅραμα" which means a vision. However, we don't need to speculate because Peter explained it. He said he saw the power and coming of the Lord. Obviously the second coming hadn't occurred since...

It's not opinion. Anyone who know how to reason can see that you're drawing inferences and not dealing with clear statements from Scripture. I tell you what a man is and post Scripture explaining what a man is. You post Scripture and infer from it. You say Adam died non physically and post a...

This is a fallacious appeal to authority. You don't know that any Scholar understands anything correctly unless you understand it correctly. That means "without" contradicitons. I know you aren't a Greek scholar because you aren't understanding the Greek wording. This too is fallacious and an...

The passage says nothing about a non-physical death, again you are inferring that and imposing it on the passage. There is "Nothing" in Scripture that teaches spiritual death. I already supplied an understanding of that passage that makes sense, is the historical understanding of both the Jews...

No, you've provided inferences. Nothing you provided lays out the process of how man can be alive when he dies. You've provided the passage about the transfiguration. The passage says nothing about how a man is able to live after he dies. You've simply inferred that he can because the passage...

Quoting a Greek scholar has no bearing on how the Scriptures use words. I'll bet you don't know anything about that Greek scholar other than he wrote a book. People post commentaries and dictionary definitions as if they are Scriptures. They're not they're the woks of fallible men. You don't...
