You do not have an elementary understanding yet, nor do you seem to want to know the truth, but rather continue to harp on what you have incorrectly defined. If you want to call the "image" which God has "manifest" an "optical illusion" in disrespect, I have nothing for you, for you show...

Define the resurrection correctly, and I will give chapter and verse to you again.

"And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

God also commanded the ravens to feed Elijah. But that does not speak of the ravens, nor is the Catholic church of any particular stature for carrying the word. No, these things speak only of the providence of God to work all things together for good for those who love Him.

Paul was like the oxen who tread out the grain, but also eat thereof. But if one quotes him treading and another quotes him eating, the one is not right and the other wrong. He eats for one, but treads for many...which need not be confusing, if we rightly divide the word. It is a pleasure to...

If you are going to ask the same question as he, you will find my answer in my answer to him. As for the rest, what we are talking about is a physical manifestation, a mere image of what is not except that it is in the world, of that which is in the heavenly realm. That image, we will indeed...

Again, Paul is working both sides, speaking to those who were hearing the gospel for the first time, those who had heard but had not yet received the Holy Spirit, and also to those who had...and he admittedly "became all things to all men", that he "by all means might save some." But we, who now...

I give you chapter and verse, and still you do not see.

You know not of what you speak. You have quoted from the account of Christ raising from the dead, not ascending into heaven. He did not commit His flesh to the Father, but His spirit [only].

Are you saying then that you did not descend from the first Adam, but only the Last Adam? Because, otherwise, the principle applies. The bodily dust of Christ did not ascend, for "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God." That body that is raised up, "is not that same body that was"...

Do not be deceived: Ecclesiastes 12:7 "Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it."

You say "bodily", which the word of God does not say, because you are of the flesh: "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." You have "added" to the word of God, and will receive your due. Repent, while there is still time. I have shown you...

You can choose to ignore my warning which I have declared to you from the word of God...but you cannot choose the context. You do this to yourself.

This passage does not apply. To "believe" is not the same as the receiving of the Holy Spirit. These are two different things. God has not mixed them, but you have. You are quoting Paul's greeting. He is not speaking of the Thessalonians, but of himself and those with him, and greeting them in...

I did skim through it. Thank you, I know your intentions are good. But, just as I have explained the matter not allowing sin to have a foothold, we too are not to dwell on such things, but on what is good. So, no, I will not listen to those who wish to go on and on about their weakness when we...

Crawl under your car and disengage the reverse. I understand. Just believe.

Hmmm... this sounds like one man's rationale (perhaps that of many). But it is not good or correct that we should live this way. This is not "Go and sin no more", not "old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new", or "Whoever abides in Him does not sin." This is condoning...

In 1 Thessalonians Paul speaks in past tense of the coming of the Lord in spirit, and in 2 Thessalonians he speaks in future tense of the end when He is revealed to all, including "those who trouble you", in the judgement. Of course He shall be revealed at "the end" and in "the judgement" -...

No...it says "not that body."

Paul spoke to both those who had received Christ in spirit and to those who had not yet received the spirit, but in that passage he spoke specifically to those who had not yet received Christ in spirit...so he told them to wait. So, to answer your question, it is only those who believe, but...
