Nick,
Clearly you fail to hear what I said as what you said is an accusation that has no basis in what I said. If you do not want to hear what I have said then why bother saying anything?

Nick,

You are a man and therefore according to your statement you addle the word so why would I believe your private interpretation?

I am saying you accuse yourself as I am not necessary agreeing with your words.

I listen to your words but it is the Spirit that teaches.

By this statement I intended to imply that I disagree with your words…[Read more]

Nick,

My point is that Paul chose the word “if” as opposed to “when”. The difference is that with “if” there is possibility the body will not be destroyed.

Nick,

This does not appear to be a productive thread as you continue to state things without any support from Scripture.

We have one teacher and that is Jesus Christ but he uses what tools he chooses to teach, warn, etc. You should know this a Paul instructed Timothy that Scripture is “useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for…[Read more]

Nick,

Compare scripture with scripture.
Men addle the word.

flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom.

You are a man and therefore according to your statement you addle the word so why would I believe your private interpretation?

I listen to your words but it is the Spirit that teaches.

Nick,

See post #748156.

In that post I address Paul’s words when he states ‘if this body is destroyed…’ Why do you think he said “if”?

Nick,

I mentioned it in another thread so I will try to remember to bring it up in that thread.

To answer your question Paul said if his earthly body is destroyed then he has a body in heaven that is not made by human hands.

Nick,

Hi KW,
God is divided from His Spirit?

Two different used of the word Spirit and each use has a different definition from the other.

Nick,

Yes a new body put over the old so we do not awake naked.

What do you think of the “if” in Paul’s statement?

Nick,

Yes, God is the Spirit but he also has a Spirit which is called the Spirit.

Nick,

Which of your experts was appointed by God?
Test the spirits.

Yes, but I only test for the truth and not whether the expert is appointed by God.

Nick,

So you see apparent facts and that is OK and not judging?

I am trying to give you the benefit of the doubt in order to encourage you to improve.

Nick,

I believe Ps 49.14f is speaking of the body rotting in the grave. I am not sure as it seems to be speaking of the wicked.

Nick,

You claim you say what scripture says?
Yet you diminish the words of scripture to mere idiom.

By Whose authority?

You have said that before and it sounds just as silly as it has before. That is an accusation, an attack on the person, and not an answer using reason.

Nick,

Hi KW,
Will these experts support you when you face the judge?
We should not take away from scripture

I won’t need them as God know the the truth and I seek it.

You are asking the wrong question. The question is whether the information the expert provides is from God or from the devil and my answer is the Spirit knows.

Nick,

Hi KW,
The immortal is put over the mortal.
We are changed

According to that passage, 1 Corinthians 15:43-44, the mortal flesh and blood puts on immortality so it is no longer mortal.

Nick,

It is not I that says we can appoint some scripture as idiom

No but you are claiming that idiom is not used in Scripture and you not Scriptural support for your claim. My support that “flesh and blood” is an idiom based on an expert witness who testifies that is was an idiom used by Jews.

Hi KW,
Paul wanted to be free from his earthly house to be housed from above

But you think he was deceived?

I have to figure our what you mean by what you say based on the context of our past conversation and other information. Usually it easier for me to go to the Scripture and

2 Corinthians 5:1-4New English Translation (NET Bible)

Nick,

Many people use scripture
But they should rather submit their minds to that truth

Yes, that is what I believe your error is.

Nick,
In this case I am stating an apparent fact. If you are using reason then I am not seeing it and I do see attacks on the person. Perhaps it is just poor communications.
