So how are the dead raised up, I came across this excellent explanation by pastor Timothy Lee Arnett which starts with the resurrection.
II Corinthians 15:35-49 (NIV)
The Resurrection Body
35But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?" 36How...
No, man is not immortal, so that part 'as soon as human appears on this Earth, he or she becomes immortal.' is not correct.
Look at scripture and it shows it clearly...
Ezek 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that...
....if the Christian does not confess them and repent from them and iniquity?
We know what happens when we bring them before the Lord and confess our sins....
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Psalm...
Now lets look further at the Old Testament:
Eccl 12:5.. .. because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: 6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7 Then shall the...
No, that is not correct. The wicked will certainly not spend eternity with God, and only the saints at the end at the resurrection are changed, for now they do not have immortality.
Here is a good explanation on this issue by my friend palehorse, lets look at Matthew 10:28:
Do not be afraid of...
Well if you look at what Jesus told Martha,
'Thy brother shall rise again.'
Martha responded 'I know that He shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.' John 11:23,24
Martha knew that life would be restored to Lazarus at the end in the resurrection . Jesus demonstrated through the...
Yes, until eternal life is given to the saints at the resurrection, only God has immortality at this point (1 Timothy 1:17 & 1 Timothy 6:15-16). Let's take a look at those verses:
1 Timothy 6:15-16 - Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and...
Well the Bible is very clear on what happens for both the good and the bad after death, and where the saints will go and also the ultimate destruction of the wicked in the Lake of Fire in a consuming fire, but which because of the Greek words used in translating from the Hebrew text has become...
Thats like asking do you think Satan should die at the end in the Lake of Fire. Sin must be destroyed, and Christ at the cross overcame it so it could be, and allow those who accept Him to be with Him for eternity.
The bible makes it very clear that a soul is a living human being, not a separate entity that lives within us.
The Bible tells us that the spirit + flesh = living soul. Take away any one of these, and the soul ceases to live.
However, the soul of a human is the seat of our emotions, our...
Now if you do not believe that there is resurection at the end, you should read how Lazarus was raised from the grave by Christ, where he was after he died....
John 11 New International Version (NIV)
The Death of Lazarus
11 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village...
Are you saying you have died, not very clear..
But the Bible is clear what happens when we die, we go to the grave and know nothing. Then when Christ returns at the Second Coming we are raised at the resurrection which Christ himself confirmed and taken to heaven to be with him.
Matthew...
That is true, as the Greek words used in translation to the Greek text were for the closest word such as in the use of HADES which for the Greeks had a totally different meaning. Then there are some who want to include what is not Canon because it teaches different doctrine such as the...
Can sinning with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit be overcome in this life.
Some Christians or churches teach that sinning cannot be overcome in this life. That only a few really bad sins which require many steps or just certain sins can be overcome, thus the 'other' sins by extension are...
You also have to bring what Christ said, He stated the Sabbath was MADE for man. That means CREATED for man at the begining and then you have to ask yourself who it was made at Creation, the Jews or mankind........read your scripture and see.
You are not quite correct as the Lords Day nowhere says was Sunday or the first day in scripture, here is a good explanation..
"after the death of the last of the apostles many of the Gentile Christians, who had been converted from paganism, picked up what they were accostomed to and began to...
The wages of sin is eternal death, only through accepting Christ and through his power repenting of sin can one be resurrected and have eternal life when Christ comes at the Second Coming to take the saints to heaven.
Anyone can come as they are, just as they did to Jesus or John the Baptist to hear the truth. But once they hear the truth then what.......
Acts 9:6
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall...
