    Gravity and the Expanding Universe

    Well, it will be a new earth (Rev 21:1), so I guess it'll be big enough to hold the New Jerusalem. :)

    Gravity and the Expanding Universe

    Please notice Romans 10:1 because that chapter is addressed to Jesus' brothers', the same 'brothers' of chapter 1 Corinthians 15. These are the ones who have that first or earlier resurrection to Heaven - Please notice: Revelation 20:6; Revelation 2:10; Revelation 5:9-10. How was Jesus '...

    The LORD is my shepherd

    Hello Redemptionsong, and thank you for your responses and the sincerity with which you posted them. :) It is much appreciated. I will break my responses up so that we can concetrate on one point at a time, if that's OK with you...? My questions go much deeper than your comments...

    The LORD is my shepherd

    Hi Deeje, You asked about the purpose of our existence. I believe that our purpose is to do the will of God [Ephesians 5:1,2], which is the will of Jesus Christ. If we abide in Christ, we do the Father's will [John 15:4]. I believe that, day to day, we should follow the lead of the Holy Spirit...

    Rapture and Transformation

    Apparently I have just never heard of it called "secret rapture." It was one of the many "finer points" of church history I learned though. But it was something my mom taught to me even before the Left Behind series. And it's amazing how much of it I've still retained.

    Question about two things paul said in the bible that are getting to me

    What does Paul say?...... "For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, should be torn down, we are to have a building from God, a house not made with hands, everlasting in the heavens. 2 For in this house we do indeed groan, earnestly desiring to put on the one for us from heaven, 3 so...

    Question about two things paul said in the bible that are getting to me

    I did refer to the other scriptures (1 Thessalonians 4:1-18.). ...the two verses scriptures coincide / relate to each other. Did you read the scriptures in 1 Corinthians, and did you look at the post I linked, under that scripture? It is all explained there. If you are still confused, after...

    Question about two things paul said in the bible that are getting to me

    In your post You talked about 2 Corinthians 5:1-9.But not about all the other bible verses I posted about back to back.Why?:( My post is right above yours.

    Question about two things paul said in the bible that are getting to me

    To answer your question... Evidently the two verses coincide. If you read 2 Corinthians 5:1-9, it says very plainly, that the anointed looked forward to gaining a body like Christ. Does it mean an out of body experience, or a soul migrating to heaven, to get a spiritual covering? Paul answers...

    Question about two things paul said in the bible that are getting to me

    Dead means spiritually dead, i.e. psychic - natural . 1 Cor 2. Resurrection of the dead is when psychic becomes spiritual , 1 Cor 15. Paul was able to attain OBE at will.

    Question about two things paul said in the bible that are getting to me

    Just a guess: Paul conceptualized that the "inner man" would be stored with Christ in heaven until the end times general resurrection, in which the righteous would then be issued "spiritual bodies" and live on a perfect, restored earth.

    Question about two things paul said in the bible that are getting to me

    What Did Jesus Mean?

    The new Covenant is the sure mercies of David which is everlasting life from the dead. (Isaiah 55:3, Acts 13:34) And is the resurrection. (Isaiah 49:8, John 11:25) Whoever is in the resurrection has entered the new Covenant. It's just that since 33 AD people get directly(in their life time) into...

    Resurrection of Christ - What's the evidence for and against a literal resurrection

    Okay, I see you are going to make me pick these apart. :rolleyes: 14For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. You said: Who would that be that Jesus is bringing and where is he bringing them to...

    Resurrection of Christ - What's the evidence for and against a literal resurrection

    In this Passage it is Baha'u'llah the Father that is the 'Lord' that will return. God is above all names and does not descend into creation. The context is, that in this life our body dies and will decompose. It is Spirit and Mind that lives on, it is spirit and mind that are the component that...

    Resurrection of Christ - What's the evidence for and against a literal resurrection

    Just to remind you, I also asked... "Who does it say is coming back in those verses?" And here are those verses again: 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 14For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15According to...

    Resurrection of Christ - What's the evidence for and against a literal resurrection

    Let's try this again... 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 14For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15According to the LORD's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the...
