T C…… YOUR THE ONE trying to make Jesus different the his human brothers and sisters not us. You say things like God was “in” him and he was “in” God , as if God is not also in us true believers, Jesus said he was in us and we are in him also, Paul clearly said ” know you not that your “body” is the temple of the living God” . GOD the Fat…[Read more]

TC……Nick is right in this. God has spoken to many . Jesus was addressing just those people in front of him there. The real question is why are you trying so hard to transfer the Glory of God the Father , to The man Jesus our brother. When are you going to see Jesus as a fellow human beibg, whom God the Father chose and anointed Ted him to…[Read more]

T8…..Paul never said that is what happens , he said he would “rather be” absent from the body and be present with the lord. That is not saying thats what actually happens. People assume that, just more pagan after life infusion into scriptures.

Anthony…..We are bodies, that have breath of life in us, making us a “living” soul, spirits are not bodies or souls, they are what is “IN” the “soul” body. The leave when the “living” soul dies becomes a dead soul, and goes to coruption. The spirits return unto him who gave it. Just that simple. No secret mystery still alive after death stu…[Read more]

T8…..what do you do with this scripture?
Isa 44:24-26….This says the LORD. thy redeemer; and he that formed you from the womb, “I”, am the LORD that makes “ALL” , that stretches forth the heavens “ALONE”; that spreads abroad the earth “BY MYSELF”; 25, That frustrates the tokens of liars, and makes devices mad; that turn wise men backward,…[Read more]

Nick…..what Jodi has said is true, God gives understanding buy his spirit to all his creation, to one degree or another by measure . Not all are full of the spirit of God, like Jesus, and Steven, and a few others recorded in scripture. But we all have our portion from our Heavenly Father, God can add or subtract spirit from anyone he choses t…[Read more]

Anthony……ADAM did die in the “day” he “ate” (took to produce the “fruit”, of good and evil from self, as a tree does) . The problem is, what is a “day” in GOD’S time?
Peter tell us, “a thousand years is as a “day” with God and a “day” is as a thousand years. Now who has not died within that day time period of God’s time. So you see all do d…[Read more]

Nick…..Yes those who believe in Christ Jesus have passed from the “judgement” penalty of eternal death, to the gift of eternal Life.
That all true, so when we do die, we know that we have a resurection of life waiting for us, as Jesus told us, “though he “DIE” yet shall he live”.
Your idea of a “believer” never can “experience” death, is n…[Read more]

Anthony…….your blood has life in it, how do you think our blood “knows” how to maintain our bodies with life, it is the breath /spirit of God that keeps our “bodies” which are us going, Remember what it say, “life is in the blood” the blood has the DNA built into it, to maintain our physical functioning bodies, that came from the dust of the…[Read more]

Nick…..Jodi is right, our souls can die and decay and parish, that is exactly what happens when we die, the breath of life/the sustaning spirit of God leaves us and our dead soul/body, returns back to the ground from which it came, just as scripture says.
We no longer exist as a living soul, untill God resurect us and reforms our bodies and b…[Read more]

Miia…..what about God telling Abraham to sacrifice his son Issac? HE SUPPLIED A goat instead of allowing Abraham to sacrifice Issac.
