Nick,
That has not been revealed to me yet, nor do I think their time is near. Things must get much worse that they are now if there is likelihood of all flesh perishing from the earth. John told us enough to be on the watch for them.
Nick,
Hi KW,
No-you claim he was raised to heaven in the body he was buried in.
flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom.
The flesh body is of earth and is corruptible.
Have you not read that the creature will be delivered from servitude to corruption? (Romans 8:21)
Hi KW,
So you expect them to be men?
Think spiritually.
Have you not heard of the new creation?
are you trapped in the old?
Hi KW,
Paul did not think so.
When his tent was taken down he knew he had a new dwelling awaiting him.
Nick,
Nerveless, you misquoted him.
The “new” is fine because the heavenly body is the new body but missing the “if” changes the meaning of his words.
Nick,
It is not your paraphrase that is the error it is changing the meaning. Paul did not testify the old body would pass away but instead said if it should then there is a body presently in heaven.Hi KW,
And in 1cor 15 we are told that the perishable must put on the imperishable and this mortal must put on immortality.
Nick,
The mortal body puts on life when it is quickened by the Spirit and so that which was perishable puts on the imperishable.
Hi KW,
2 Cor 5 . 16
Therefore from now on we recognise no one according to the flesh;even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him in this way no longer.Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creature, the old things have passed away, new things have come.
But you say Paul is wrong and the flesh is forever?
Nick,
Scripture does not say the new body is inherited. It instead states the body changes. (1 Corinthians 15:52) It tells us the dead will be raised imperishable as they have a body in heaven.
