Hello @bbyrd009, Thank you for explaining yourself as you have. I understand what you are saying. The experience of every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ is that the entrance of God's Word has brought light. That enlightenment brings knowledge and understanding of the things of God, and...

Hello there @bbyrd009, You are not an insensitive jerk :) and I hope you have not been rejected as you say. One thing is sure, nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Forgive me, but I don't understand your thoughts here. Thank you. In Christ Jesus Chris

'Jesus saith unto her, "Thy brother shall rise again." Martha saith unto Him, "I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day." Jesus said unto her, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, I can practically see the cogs of your mind working, as these thoughts follow each other in quick succession, wonderful thought following wonderful thought. Why then the distaste, you ask yourself? Well Paul was a living man who wanted to be with His Lord, He wanted Him...

Hello again, @farouk, It doesn't really matter what you and I think though does it? :) In Christ Jesus Chris

'For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not...

Hello @farouk, Yes, in Romans 1:5 and 16:26, 'obedience to the faith' and 'the obedience of faith' - means 'faith-obedience'. Praise God! In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Bible_Gazer, Yes, it has been a good discussion, thank you, for playing your part in making it so. :) * Yes, man does not have an immortal soul, for only God has immortality:- '... That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus...

Hello @Enoch111, You were correct in saying that in Genesis 2:7 the words, 'a living soul', refers to the person, which is the point I was making. However the word 'soul' is also used of the life of a man. It is the body energised by the spirit of life, creating a living being. The soul is...

Hello @Episkopos, As I said to you in regard to your previous entry, the context of 2 Corinthians 5:4 is resurrection, and not righteousness. * In answer to your final question, 'To be unclothed is to be naked...not dead. let's start there....do you understand that?': * Within the context of...

Hello @Bible_Gazer, The subject of 2 Corinthians 5:1-2 is resurrection. * The change will take place in the twinkling of an eye. In Thessalonians we read of a resurrection, in which those who are asleep in Christ will rise first and meet the Lord in the air, and those who are alive and...

Hello @Enoch111, God made man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. The whole man is the soul, consisting of both body and spirit, in which is the breath of life. Stephen, like his Lord before him, committed his spirit unto...

Hello @CoreIssue, With respect, it is the body which has the faculty of sight, of hearing, and speech. The spirit, is 'the breath of life', it has no body form or function. It goes back to God who gave it. The believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, when dead, is reckoned by God as being 'asleep...

Hello @Bible_Glazer, Stephen is awaiting the resurrection from the dead. For there is no life apart from resurrection. In God's sight He is asleep in Christ, awaiting that glorious day. His life is hid with Christ in God. Thank you. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @justbyfaith, These quotations you have made, are the words of Paul written following a letter of admonition that he had sent to the Corinthian church: and the obedience they were being commended for, was in relation to the effect that his letter had had upon them; for it had resulted in...

'For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.' (2 Corinthians 5:4) Hello @APAK, Forgive me for not addressing your response before now, but your way of expressing yourself made...
