    What is "Parousia"?

    You said: Because death is appointed or awaits all men. You, again, are adding to God's words what HE did not say in 1 Thess 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50-51 Hebrews 9:27 speaks of sin causing death to all men, therefore Christ came and bore our sins! Therefore when HE Returns - we who are...

    "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep(DIE), but we shall all be changed—" 1 Cor 15:51 It means EXACTLY what it says: "We shall NOT Sleep/DIE" Matthew 5:37 - But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one. You are turning...

    What is "Parousia"?

    1 Corinthians 15:50-51 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep(DIE), but we shall all be changed—

    What is "Parousia"?

    You said: "It is my understanding from Scripture that the only way we can be present with the Lord is to be absent from our mortal body of flesh and blood." Now you are on the RIGHT Path to Truth......

    What is "Parousia"?

    Concerning those who are alive at His Coming = 'Ridding' the mortal body does not mean death" The Scripture, in FACT, says those who are alive at His Coming will NOT DIE. TRUTH - our mortal bodies cannot inherit immortality therefore a CHANGE must take place = at His Coming TRUTH - that...

    First Work of Faith: Confessing Jesus Christ

    Oh Boy, i'm in trouble now - LOL Confessing with your mouth the Lord Jesus is not a work unto salvation.................LOL It is the essence of Faith(not a work) speaking from within us that which the Holy Spirit imparted to us. God does the work of Salvation in us = we just follow His Call...

    Gods true nation, Spiritual Israel.

    HOLY SPIRIT says: Galatians 4:21-31 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman...

    Ezekiel Chapter 34

    church buildings being shut down is part of God's will for the perfection of the Saints = in Love = "have fervent love for one another" His Church will never be shut down = His Church is made up of Living Stones that walk this earth Breathing in and out Holy Spirit power. And this gospel of...

    What is "Parousia"?

    1 Corinthians chapter 15 = 100% Truth = every word of it The Holy Spirit, as recorded in chapter 15, does not say that when we are "Transformed" that we will experience death. It says that we will "put off" the mortal thru TRANSFORMATION into Immortal and that this will happen in a "INSTANT" =...

    What is "Parousia"?

    You asked: "Does or does not the Scripture clearly show that all, or every human being is destined to physically die?" Answer = No - not every human will experience death. Answer = 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep...

    What is "Parousia"?

    You cannot prove a negative = "Did God really say..." = "no where does scripture say E&E never physically die" God only gives us the option of YES or NO Matthew 5:37 - But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one. Enoch and Elijah...

    What is "Parousia"?

    Thank you again for your reply. It is CLEAR from the Holy Spirit spoken Scripture that both Enoch and Elijah have yet to see death. You can argue against Scripture all you like - it does not change = "It is written". Hebrews chapter 11 clearly differentiates Enoch from the rest, if you are...

    What is "Parousia"?

    The original text = both in Hebrew OT and then confirmed in NT Book of Hebrews is that Enoch did not experience death. Enoch did not die = God took Him because he had this testimony: 'Enoch walked with God and Enoch PLEASED God' Only the LORD Jesus has that Perfect Testimony with the FATHER =...
