Hi Andre,

It speaks of the unity we have in the Spirit of Christ.

We share in that Spirit with the Father and the Son.

Those alive in the Spirit sleep at death.

They are clothed when they awake at his return.

Hi Andrew,

God is the God of the living.

All those blessed with the eternal living Spirit of God cannot ‘die’.

Some standing with Jesus were in this category when he mentioned it

Hi Andrew,

Fleshly millenium?

The saints will be garbed from above in heavenly bodies – alike to the angels.

Hi Andrew,

We are already seated with Christ Jesus in the heavenlies. 

The men of old appeared with Jesus on the mountain awakened from their slumber.

Abraham rejoiced to see the day of Jesus Christ.

But nothing in scripture says they were in heaven at any time.

Hi Andrew,

When Jesus returns he will rule ON EARTH for 1000 years

with his faithful and productive servants ruling and judging with him.

Hi Andrew,

Humanists?

No God was at work to will and to do in those faithful servants.

Hi Andrew,

Indeed many are waiting in their graves for the voice of the Son of God to raise them from sleep.

They will sit and sup with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob  at the wedding feast of the Lamb.

Hi Andrew,

You offer lovely verses about being CLOTHED FROM ABOVE.

Yes we will receive a new heavenly body if you are raised in the first resurrection to meet Jesus in the air.

Then of course he returns to earth to establish his earthly kingdom.

No sojourns offered in heaven in scripture.

Hi BD,

You are joking are you not.

As a nonchristian you oppose the whole of the scriptures and try to draw others into your web of doubts.

Hi BD,

We might occasionally question the use of the occasional word of scripture but your work is to challenge the entire plan of God as revealed in scripture.

In so doing you make yourself greater than the word and the Spirit that wrote it.

Sheeps clothing??

Hi BD,

So God wants you to believe in The Son.

Would doing so make you righteous or are you already so?

Hui BD,

He was sent to the chosen people.

And he taught them about the Law.

Should you become a jew?

Hi davidl,

No I do not support most of those who share here.

I do not accept the words of nonchristians or idolaters.

But there are flashes of light in the gloom but not from you.

Hi davidl,

Is the bible not inspired?

Hi GB,

Jas 2.26

“For just as a body without a spirit is dead so faith without works is dead also”

But we are not speaking of the transient life relevant to a body but that which gives eternal life to a soul.

Faith without works still exists but is not living.

Hi GB,

Yes the spirit we are loaned belongs to God.

If it is withdrawn and the body rotted we would just be a soul.

Hi GB,

Any progress on identifying and discarding your false teachings?

Hi GB,

So the vine is greater than the vinedresser? jn15

Hi GB,

SIN in the flesh

See Rom 7

Hi davidl,

Does the Spirit of God inspire men to promote what is not written?
