NO CHURCH FLIGHTS TO BE FOUND IN THESE
Ephesians 2:1 And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins
We have been made SPIRITUALLY ALIVE. OUR SPIRIT being is brought forth and is to grow and gain control. We were dead to the ways and desires of GOD and alive to the worldly ways and desires of the flesh but when we come to faith that whole thing is switched and now IT IS ON THE RIGHTEOUS AND HOLY PATH THE HEAVENLY PATH we wish to walk. That is how we are MADE ALIVE while remaining on earth.
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved
We haven't been taken from the earth to heaven, but we have been made alive and have received the promise of salvation the gift from God because He loves us.
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus
We are no longer OF THE WORLD, so our thoughts and wishes and wants are stayed upon the heavenly realm where Christ our Lord and Savior now is. Because we are in Him and He is in us, we are SPIRITUALLY in heaven with Him. When our earthen vessel breaks we will at that point GO TO ACTUALLY BE with Him in the place He went to prepare for us. An EXAMPLE OF SOMEONE WHO HAS ALREADY UNDERGONE THIS IS FOUND IN REV 19 Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power
MEANING WHETHER ON EARTH OR IN HEAVEN HE HAS US
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ
12 Buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised Him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses
MADE SPIRITUALLY ALIVE WHILE STILL IN THE FLESH ON EARTH
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
THE GRAVES WERE OPENED AND THE ALIVE WENT WALKING AROUND IN BODIES THAT WE WILL ALSO BE IN WHEN WE RETURN WITH CHRIST FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE LORDS DAY
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Colossians 2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not
22 Which all are to perish with the using after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
THAT IS BE RISEN RIGHT NOW THIS MOMENT, SPIRITUALLY ALIVE AND SEEKING THE THINGS FROM ABOVE AND NOT HAVING ANY CONCERN FOR 'THE FLESH' LIFE OR DEATH.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE BEHEADED OR NOT, YOUR FLESH LIFE IS ALREADY DEAD AND GONE. IF YOU ARE SEEKING TO SAVE THAT LIFE THEN YOU ARE NOT DEAD AND RISEN AT ALL . YOU ARE ONLY GIVING LIP SERVICE.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.
IS CHRIST GOING TO BE RISING UP AND APPEARING? NO. SO 'ADDING' A RESURRECTION TO THIS VERSE FOR 'US' WOULD BE AN ACT OF DECEPTION.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free but Christ is all, and in all.
GODS CHILDREN, THE SAVED, THE BODY OF CHRIST, THE CHURCH, THE NEW CREATURE, THE IN AND GRAFTED IN ALL MADE ONE.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
