When we understand what ETERNAL LIFE is, we realize it is something we CAN HAVE, in these of HAVING GOD, because ONLY GOD is eternal. "We" cannot be made eternal because we had a beginning whether we live forever or not. Quote:
1) Since the BODY is what is made immortal at the resurrection, and not the soul nor spirit... 2) and since the context of 2 Cor 5 and 1 Cor 15 is the BODY... 3) and since Paul said we are NAKED when outside the body and absent from it... 4) and since 2 Cor 5 and 1 Cor 15 together agree and do not conflict... 5) the resurrection is when 2 Cor 5 is fulfilled when we receive a new body, while in the meantime we are absent from ANY body after death, and present with the Lord.

We are saved before we ever die, and that is what Paul stated about some men's sins follow them while others' go before them. My sins went before me to judgment, and my judgment is not going to regard heaven or hell, but rewards or none. Quote:

The moment a person obeys Acts 2:38 THEY ARE SAVED without any works! That Judaic origins of names and such-like deal you are into has seemingly taken you to salvation by works! Quote:

Contemporary English Version (CEV) is easy to follow. International Standard Versions (ISV) is good. THE MESSAGE is extremely easy to follow! lol Analytical Literal Translation (ALT) is like the Amplified, but from the correct manuscripts. (NO ERRORS IN THIS ONE!) |

Mike the truth is that it is in THESE MORTAL BODIES that we groan! I think you must be the founder of this doctrine. Quote:
I do see where Paul says that THE DEAD will be made ALIVE at the second coming! 22: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23: But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 1 Cor. 15:22-23 Reading it as it is reveals those who are DEAD being MADE ALIVE. We are willing to be absent from THIS BODY and present with the Lord. Paul says when it will happen. When we are MADE ALIVE at the second coming. Quote:
13: In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14: Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Eph. 1:13-14 That is like this: 22: For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23: And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24: For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25: But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Romans 8:22-25 The firstfruits and the earnest (Holy Spirit) stands in for eternal life until we receive it. Again we see that its in our MORTAL BODY that we are groaning. Quote:
29: Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Acts 2:29 Peter said DAVID was both dead and buried in the grave. It was DAVID. Not merely Davids body! Nothing about him being an immortal soul. Quote:
6: Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: Romans 2:6-7 Those who seek IMMORTALITY receive what? ETERNAL LIFE! Quote:

9: Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 11: Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 2 Cor. 5:9-11 If I were reading this with no preconceived idea on the basis of verse 9 I would say he was laboring to BE ACCEPTED BY CHRIST. The writing of receiving for the things done in the body good or bad is linked to the TERROR OF THE LORD. You are accusing me of salvation by works. Paul seems to be saying that our acceptance at the judgment will depend on our works. Actually this is all through scripture. Here is a sample: 12: And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13: And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14: And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15: And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. What you are promoting is an incomplete concept. We are certainly saved by faith. Yet tho that be true we will be judged by our works proving the sincerity of our faith. If as Paul says we will be receiving for the deeds done in the body good or bad its obvious to me those who have done bad works will be cast into the lake of fire. Consider the TERROR OF THE LORD. I will not be teaching ANYONE they can enter the Kingdom of Yeshua the Messiah if they are doing bad works. Oh yes and how do you suppose the fact that I use the original name of the Messiah produces salvation by works? |
Re: Proof Of Soul Sleep
Here is more proof.
When will we receive eternal life? 28: Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 29: And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 30: But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. Mark 10:28-30 Eternal life is granted IN THE WORLD TO COME. Guess what? That world has not yet come. |
