'For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, Returning the the thread on the unclothed state, I found that I had not transferred the beginning of your argument, which had started with your post in Reply#51 (on Page 3) of The Unclothed State (2 Cor. 5:4). “...not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon...

'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 @VictoryinJesus, You initially posted the OP (reply:#2) in the thread I had started on 2 Corinthians...

'For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in My wrath, if they shall enter into My rest: although the...

'For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things...

Hello @Phoneman777 Where 'satisfaction' is concerned: to quote the lines of a song, 'If heaven never was promised to me, it's been worth just having the Lord in my Life, living in a world of darkness, He has brought me the light.' Praise God! It has been good talking to you. In Christ...

Hello dear-man, :) You do love your tattoo thread, don't you? I think you must be a tattoo artist!! ;) Though the art is highly skilled in many cases, I just wish it was portrayed on canvas rather than skin. Chris

Oh @Phoneman, How could you do that to me!! :) No, my avatar was taken many moons ago on a special holiday, with Vesuvius in the background: I just haven't updated it. o_O I do have one photograph of me, which I will try to put in it's place soon, I just don't do very well with procedures like...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, The references above, are those you have quoted in your posts, do you think that we ought to look at them individually, in order to proceed, taking into account the comment you have already made in relation to them. For I want to understand what part they play in the...

Could Pharaoh have repented? God looks on the heart of man, He knew that Pharoah would not repent, though opportunity was given him. Yes, God has foreknowledge, He knows who will believe and who will not believe in advance of them doing so, and so can pre-destine them accordingly. In...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, Looking at 2 Corinthians 5:1, that you refer to, it follows Paul's words in chapter 4 concerning his afflictions for the gospel's sake:- 'For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction...

'But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.' (2 Corinthians 3:18) Hello again, @VictoryinJesus, Just one more term to consider before your questions are tackled, to...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, Lets look at the terms 'Inward man' and 'Outward man' first of all, to make sure that we are both of the same understanding concerning them:- The Outward Man - is that which is seen, and which actually perishes (2 Corinthians 4:16), and this is 'day by day'. This tells...

'But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.' (2 Corinthians 3:18) Hello @VictoryinJesus, I hope you approve of my taking the liberty of beginning this thread to be able to...

Reply 82 by @VictoryinJesus (slightly modified for a new thread) The other morning I woke with these passages on my mind. Out of nowhere. The outward must be changed “glory to glory”; consider all the verses of that which is outward and that which is inward. What God says of the two. Corruption...

'For all things are for your sakes, .. that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many .... redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; .. but though our outward man perish, .... yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, Thank you for not wishing to offend, but I can assure you, that if it is the Word of God that we are discussing, I will have no problem about you having a differing view to me. I will not engage in personal attack and I can expect no less of you. I think that our...

'That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.' (Philippians 3:10) Hello @Phoneman777, Paul could have been in no doubt as to attaining...

Hello @Phoneman777, Thank you for your entry, it is appreciated. * Can I just query your last sentence, (quote) - 'But, Paul knew that didn't happen at death, because he himself said, "For we must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ" which he knew happened at the Second Coming, which...
