Hi Kathy,

Yes the spirit of a man returns to God at death. But the soul does not. Ecc 12.

And the unity we have in the Spirit of Christ means that we are seated with him in the heavenly realms

But when he returns to earth will we not be raised from earth to meet him in the air?  Do you actually believe in the resurrection of the dead?

Hi Gb,

So you say.

You have immutable opinions-true?

Hi T8,

But this is the promise of God

Heb 13.5

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee

The Spirit of God is faithful to all who die in Christ.

Hi t8,

Jesus also had to die to fulfil the sign of Jonah.

Death is when the spirit leaves.

Death where is thy sting?

Jesus was immediately alive in the Spirit and visited the souls in prison.

Hi t8,

There is only one time that I know of when the spirit of a person is said to leave and come back again

Lk8.55

Hi t8,

As Romans 8 shows the Holy Spirit is in us with our spirit till we die or are changed at his return-1cor 15.

Then those souls who are of the Spirit of Christ live forever by that eternal Spirit.

Hi t8,

Abraham Isaac and Jacob are also alive in the Spirit.

God is the God of the living and not the dead.

It is your hope too

Hi t8,

He did.

But just like every man who dies his spirit left at Calvary.

Jn 19.30

When Jesus , therefore, had received the vinegar he said

”It is finished’

and he bowed his head , and gave up the ghost

Lk 23.46

And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said

‘Father into your hands I commend my spirit”

and having said thus…[Read more]

hi Kathy,

The angels rejoice when 1 sinner repents.

mankind has a great crowd of angelic witnesses

heb 12.1

Hi C,

To go so far off the beaten track you are either dead right and inspired

or utterly deceived.

My vote is for the second option.

Hi Kathy and welcome,

Who are these men you claim are in heaven? Is it not a popular myth?

Jesus Christ is in heaven but no others are said to live there

Heaven is the abode of God and His angels.

Man shall inherit the earth

Hi Andrew,

No.

He supports another god.

Hi Andrew,

If you are not in Christ and worship other gods perhaps you should fear.

Hi Andrew,

We can think that the angels who sinned in Gen 6 would have human type bodies.

Other examples occur elsewhere in scripture.

But we also know that men will not marry in the Kingdom as we will be like the angels.

Hi Andrew,

A perfect example of how malleable scripture is in the hands of those who are self assured , but disconnected from the truth.

Hi Andrew,

You can follow him into the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Would that make you a god too?

hi C,

Just because you are the only one on earth who dreams up mystical nonsense

does not prove anything about your source of inspiration being God.

hi C,

I am sure you believe this stuff.

Does anyone else?

Hi ,

God breathed into the soil of earth and man became a living soul.

No mention of God creating angels in the same way but men presume.

There is much about the spirits of men and animals in Ecclesiastes but none about angels having spirits

But men presume.

Hi T8,

Is Jesus Christ the WORD made flesh?
