Lets demonstrate how this works.
Paul teaches the saints that died are asleep. Lets watch how his doctrine must be changed from the
RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD.....to the resurrection of
THE BODY. Switch the subject from
PEOPLE that are asleep which Paul is teaching to merely
BODIES which he is not teaching.
1 Thessalonaians 4:13-18
13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning
them which
are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so
them also which
sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent
them which
are asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and
the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with
them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and
so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
This is what Paul taught. Lets see now what men do to his words.
