    Not everyone accepts the teaching of Scripture as being inspired by God.

    "The drunkard shall not inherit the kingdom of God" I was a drunkard. That means that I drank alcohol to excess. Once I start drinking alcohol I don't stop until I'm so intoxicated that I pass out. You might say that I have a certain affinity for alcohol where someone else may not. My flesh...

    That type of resurrection is symbolized by baptism in water. If that meant we would never have to die, then a physical resurrection would not be necessary. But since we still must die, a resurrection from the dead is required to obtain the inheritance.

    Heb 11:10, 2 Cor 5:1 It's said that the believer is to have the faith of Abraham. Abraham was a stranger in the land that he was promised. He never, as of yet, received that promise. Christians are strangers in this world.

    I side with God. King Nebuchadnezzar, who was so prideful that he supposed he was supreme ruler, was taught a lesson that it is God who rules the kingdoms of men and gives it to whomever He will. If it be true that God gives the kingdoms of men to whomever He wills, it be foolish of me to vote...

    It seems my posting of Scripture was in violation of the rules. Not too sure Jesus listed that as what defiles the man though.

    I can't tell you the number of times I've had discussions with others who were telling me that "God is not the God of the dead" because those ones are alive. In other words, all the faithful of the past are not dead but alive and therefore God is their God. But when I look at the context of the...

    I have flesh that cares nothing for the laws of God. We all have the same flesh. The flesh only wants what it wants and is not satisfied until it gets it. Therein lies the struggle. "Walk in the spirit and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh". The flesh wars against the spirit and the...

    I am certainly guilty of evil thoughts, fornication, adultery, theft, and false witness. I'm not proud of it.

    If there is to be a resurrection of the dead, then they both agree, and the seeming contradiction is solved.

    How does God interact with the dead?

    You're certainly welcomed to try to resolve the contradiction by saying that the two(Jesus and Paul) disagree with each other, But how does that resolve the contradiction?

    Abrahamics Only: God

    God has a location. It's called heaven. "Our Father which art in heaven" for example. Yet God's spirit sustains all life. If He were to withdraw His spirit all life would cease to exist.

    The context refers to the doctrine of the Sadducees who did not believe in the resurrection of the dead. They argued that a women would have multiple husbands if the dead are raised back to life. The context is NOT on "spiritual death". Jesus says that when the dead are raised they neither...

    If the dead be raised from the dead to life eternal then they will have both a God and a Lord.

    The riddle supposes that Jesus is not in contradiction with Paul. It's directed to those who would agree with that assumption.

    God offers hope of a resurrection from the dead. Darwin doesn't.

    A third kind of resurrection? Are you referring to being dead to sin whereby we no longer ought to serve sin as our Master? That is NOT the topic of this thread. You see, in order to understand passages of Scripture, we need to consider the context of those passages. So, if we consider the...

    It is said that the patriarch David is both dead and buried(Acts 2:29). And Jesus asked the Pharisees how is that Jesus could be both David's son and his Lord.(Matt 22:45) Paul says that Jesus is Lord of both the living and the dead.(Rom 14:7-9) Jesus, therefore, could not be David's Lord if...

    [ If there is no resurrection of the dead then the dead remain dead as the Sadducees say. God cannot be the God of those who are dead and remain dead. He can only be the God of those IF there is a resurrection of the dead. Therefore, if there is no resurrection of the dead, then all those who...
