I believe the dead are conscious of nothing at all – just like Solomon wrote.I believe when a person dies, the body decays, the spirit goes back to Him who gave it, and the soul rests until a later awakening by God and Jesus.I believe there exist many SPIRITS – but not “ghosts”.What are you calling a ghost? To me, the word conjures up a meaning…[Read more]

So the first Adam and the last Adam are the same exact Adam who was married to Eve? What then, does this mean:1 Corinthians 1547 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven.“Adam” is really TWO Adams – one of the earth and the other of heaven?48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ May 14 2013,00:11)The context it about the Son of Man, the 'shoot' and the life in Him which from the moment of conception in Mary was eternal life from what I can tell.Kathi,Jesus lives BECAUSE OF the Father.

Quote (4Thomas @ May 14 2013,00:36)There is no stronger word for eternal than olamWhile it is true that “olam” CAN refer to “time out of site”, it also refers to “a long time ago”.  So the word doesn't necessarily ever refer to “from eternity”, although in Psalm 90:2, I like to think it does.Quote (4Thomas @ May 14 2013,00:36)New American…[Read more]

God foretold that He would raise up for Himself a prophet from the line of Moses – a man after His own heart.  Many people already existed by the time God raised that prophet up.Perhaps with Adam, God wanted to raise up a species “after His own heart” as well.  He made Adam in His own image, and from day one Adam KNEW his God and Creator.  …[Read more]

We know that at one point, God selected Noah to carry on the legacy of mankind. We know that later, God selected just one man, Abraham, from which to build the nation that would be called by His own name.In both cases, others already existed before God selected the ONE through whom He would do special things.Could Adam have been one of these…[Read more]

I understand it like you do, Eddy.In Luke 24:39, Jesus made it abundantly clear to his disciples that he was NOT a spirit – like they originally thought when they saw him.  Instead, he was still comprised of flesh at that time.But the scripture you posted (1 Cor 15:45), along with John 3:3-6, 1 Cor 15:50, and many others, show that Jesus had to…[Read more]

Luke 24:37But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing a spirit.Gene, the disciples did NOT think they were seeing “the conate thoughts inside a body” – or whatever.Kerwin, there is no such thing as “ghosts”.  There are spirit beings, and human beings.  And just as human beings are often called simply “humans”, spirit b…[Read more]

jammin,Who WAS God talking to in Gen 1:26? Himself?(Guys, notice that I've asked this very question about 5 times already. Also notice that jammin hasn't yet answer it. I wonder why. Perhaps his answer IS that God was talking to HIMSELF – and he knows how absurd that sounds when it is said “out loud”.)
