Mike,Quote Also consider that Cain committed murder.  You say he ceased to be a “son of God” because of this act.Yet Adam and Eve brought sin and death into the world in the first place, and Adam remained a “son of God”, right?I do not know why God does all the things he does but I do know his actions are always righteous.Adam and Eve were…[Read more]

Mike,Quote And Paul says FLESH cannot inherit the kingdom of God.It does not say that.It instead says in part that “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God”I am not finished processing it as of yet.

Mike,Quote I didn't find too many results, Kerwin. But here is one place where someone asked the question.Notice that the answer designated as “Best Answer” says:The earth was made for man and man was made for the earth. Only a very few humans have been bought from the earth and they will have to be resurrected as spirit beings or changed in an…[Read more]

Mike,Quote I don't need to “prove” anything to you. When I hear this it tells me that more likely than not the person has no proof or is uncertain of the evidence they do have.I have not read the rest of your post so I do not know all I need to know about what you wrote.

Mike,This is the passage you are contradicting.

Wakeup,Quote The ten commandments is imposible to follow in perfection.The rich young ruler followed them and Jesus did not challenge his claim. Instead Jesus challenged him to give all his riches to the poor and giving to the poor is not mentioned in the first ten commandments of the law.

It is a behavior common to man.

To all,Some here believe Jesus was a spirit when he told his student-adherents:Luke 24:39Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

Mike,Quote Kerwin, you'd be surprised at how many of the phrases “flesh and blood” in the OT are literally “BONE and flesh” in the Hebrew text. The phrases mean the same thing. The scholars who translated “BONE and flesh” as “flesh and BLOOD” knew this. They altered it to “flesh and BLOOD” in our Bibles, because although the phrases mean the…[Read more]

Mike,Quote The word “mortal” is not in the Greek scripture, Kerwin. But if your “expert witnesses” understand “flesh” to mean “mortal”, and our future bodies will NOT BE “mortal”, there is a strong implication that those future bodies will not be “flesh” either.Besides……. flesh, blood AND bone are all “mortal”. All three of those things…[Read more]
