Scriptures are true! Regardless of what you think of Paul! He is not Muhhamed! Paul is an Apostle! He was writing under God's inspiration unlike you! You just think they were human, you forget they had the Holy Spirit working in them in gifts of healing and Bible writing! If you were healed you would know it was God in the Apostles!

If you were healed you would know it was God in the Apostles! EXCUSE ME??? God IN THE APOSTLES?? You do not make sense at all. For one thing, EVERY BELIEVER HAS THE POWER TO HEAL IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. Your theology is WAAAAAAAAAY off it you think it has to be an apostle.
In the BIBLE, Jesus tells believers to "LAY HANDS ON THE SICK AND THEY WILL RECOVER, CAST OUT DEMONS, RAISE THE DEAD."
Those that do not believe this (because it is in His word) are UNBELIEVERS.

JonathanBC "You do realize you'll be judged for everthing you say. YEP. Point being?? God judges every word we say! By the way Paul is still alive in Heaven! No he is not. He is in the grave awaiting the return of his Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. (YOU will be held accountable for saying ERROR!) God is the God of the living! You might have to explain what you think! What do you not understand? What do you need explaining on ??

The bible teaches that when you die, you are dead. You do not immediately go to heaven. You are not "separated from God", floating around in heaven waiting for your new body. You are dead. You know nothing.
Ecc 9:5 ...but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Ps 115:17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
Ecc 9:4 ...for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
The dead will not be raised until either the rapture or one of the two upcoming resurrections. Then the dead will get up. They will not simply get new clothes, but they will get up from the dead.
In the bible, death is sometimes referred to as sleep. The analogy is good. When you go to sleep at night, the next thing you're aware of is morning. You are (usually) not aware that 6-8 hours have passed. Go to sleep, and the next thing you know, poof, it's time to get up.
I think this is how it will be with death. When I die, the next conscious thought I will have will be Christ returning. Whether only minutes have passed, or centuries, it doesn't matter.
I believe that is what Paul was referring to.
I believe that everyone who has died is still dead, for now. Death is an enemy, not the fast train to heaven.
God bless.

Social climber is not a Biblical word for one thing. I think you made it up! God was in the Apostles. In fact God is in every believer! I don't know a single Christian who doesn't believe they recieve the Holy Spirit when they are saved! Jesus is also in your heart! I believe that Jesus is really in you!
