Hi, good stuff...I have to read in the mornting....
So you may have answer my question...In my thought and I'm not sure....God is not a God of the dead but the living...so the only way to be raised is with "zoe" life...which is in His son?
To have it is to know...of a clear entrance before God.....and not to know it, Idk..it may be like barely escaping the flames of fire.
I don't "speak Greek". However in English, to answer your question.
Jesus IS: the Name God gave to "His Word";
* For the Express Purpose of WHEN:
Gods Word was to come into THIS World, in the Likeness as a "Jewish man", as a Son of the House of David and Seek the Lost Jews, and Offer Them a "WAY" to Become MADE Whole (Forgiven Flesh Body & soul, Restored (Saved) soul & Quickened (born again) spirit.)
* This Word of God, JESUS, came
Humbled, yet was Fortold, He WOULD be called:
The Son of God.
* JESUS revealed; HE is:
The LIFE, The TRUTH, The WAY...
* Point is: JESUS' came to Earth, AS an Example of How men born "naturally" from an Earthly manKinds "seed", Can become MADE righteous before God, BY Gods SEED and KEPT by Gods Power. (Baptized with the Holy Spirit).
* The moment men "SAW" Jesus' water Baptism, Earthly men OBSERVED, the moment, JESUS'... Power came down to Him, From Heaven...And WHEN men could "understand", Gods Power came Down to Him, and He then could be called "The Son of God.
* Through Study we LEARN:
The Messiah was foretold, and Expected.
* When the Messiah was Revealed, He Appeared as an "ordinary" man, without Wealth, without a visible Kingdom, without Pomp, without VISIBLE Power or Position...
(Ie his Humbliness).
* Through Scriptural Knowledge we LEARN;
- Christ IS the SEED of God. (Gal 3:16)
- Christ IS the POWER of God. (1 Cor 1:24)
- Christ IS the WISDOM of God. (1 Cor 1:24)
* God Reveals to a man, Jesus IS the Christ.
(Matt 16:17)
We Learn through Scriptural KNOWLEDGE.
We Understand the KNOWLEDGE (according to Gods Understanding); By the Power of God Within us (which occurs WHEN a man is MADE WHOLE... Converted...Forgiven, Saved Born Again).
The Process of man is to Hear, continue Hearing, Believe, Heartful Confessed Belief.
The Response of God for Confession is to MAKE the man Forgiven and Whole and Keep the man IN Belief (Faith-FULL-ness) By the Supernatural Power of God.
As we REMAIN, "physically alive", We "supernaturally / spiritually" "OCCUPY JESUS' RISEN BODY"... until the DAY, Our own Body's are RISEN. On that day, Our own Body's are RISEN IN Glory (uncorrupted, Never again subject to corruption, or death).
Men don't "sort of" escape the "hell fire".
Souls "departed" out of their body's from the beginning, "that knew of God and Rejected Him", are occupying Hell. They are not IN fire, they are IN Agnony because of the Heat and Stench and Darkness and Separations from God and Gods beautiful Earth surface.
* Hell Fire, is the consequence, AFTER Judgement, After LIFE out of their SOUL, retrurns to God, and both body and soul VOID of LIFE are destroyed. (Matt 10:28)
Glory to God,
Taken
