Dear Laura, religion is always the bully. i am here for You and more importantly = CHRIST is here for you.

Just trust His Word like a little child that we ALL are.

There are no 'theological professors' in Heaven and none ever made it in.

ONLY from the Father's Call and thru the Precious Blood of Christ = for by Grace have you been saved not of works lest any man should boast.

Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.
No you are.

Dear Laura,
Good Morning

His Precious Blood opened the Door for our Marriage Union with Christ at the Right hand of the Father.

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience. All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.
But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.

We are in Christ now, right now.

When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you?
What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before?
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

But there are some of you who do not believe.”
“But there are some of you who do not believe.”
I see that plainly here—

Poor response. They can discern easily between nonsense and reason.
No one comes to Christ unless the Father draws them.

Never place your trust in religion, professors, college edumacation or anything that contradicts the Word.

Peace and Love to You Laura from the Lord Jesus Christ. May the peace of Christ give you Rest Today - Amen

How can we believe in the Spirit (AfterLife) if we say there is no afterlife?

How can we believe if we resist what is written for us to believe?

Search the scriptures Laura and see if it says anywhere in the Gospels and the Apostles and Revelation that our spirit/soul goes to sleep when our physical body dies and sleeps in the earth.

Please post the scripture that says "our spirit/soul goes to sleep and has no consciousness after our physical body dies."

Love You and i have to go now - Peace

i posted countless verses at least 25 that say our souls sleep in death. Of course it is our personhood/ soul that rises with our new immortal bodies—not our decayed bodies.:rolleyes:

Not one verse you posted states 'soul sleep'.

Only the physical body dies and sleeps in the earth and will be awakened at His Coming and His Resurrection.

Yet again you are isolating verses when other verses prove this to be false. How could the thief be with Jesus when Jesus said to Mary “I have NOT yet ascended to the Father”? And He did not ascend until 40 days later! The dead have NO sense of time passing, — it is a twinkling of an eye therefore it will be experienced as a day to the thief.
You all have many false beliefs as you do not use the reasoning faculties God gave you. You all still dont get it— you continue blindly on refusing to test scripture against scripture and isolate verses when other verses easily disprove your false doctrine.

When our flesh (natural) body dies we are all given spiritual bodies. Everyone of us, both the saved and the unsaved.

Let’s say we are still alive in our flesh and blood bodies when Jesus returns at the 7th trump. Our bodies will be changed into our spiritual bodies in the twinkling of an eye. ….but keep in mind, we are talking about bodies here, not souls.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.


This doesn’t mean we will have become immortal. It jus means that we will just be given a spirit body that's incorruptible but not necessarily immortal.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

These are two separate happenings:

The first thing that happens is that our flesh body is changed into a spirit body either at Christ's return or when we die in the flesh, whichever happens first.

Now here comes the second happening. Some of us will be granted eternal life/immortality at Christ's return (This is the First Resurrection). However some of us who didn’t make it must wait until after the 1000 year Millennium when at the Great White Throne Judgment, they will either be granted eternal life/immortality (The Second Resurrection) or eternal death which is to perish (along wth Satan).

Ecclesiastes does no hold authority over the the 5 Books of Moses, the Prophets, the words of our LORD and the Apostles.

That is like saying, i believe Solomon who slept with a thousand women against God's Will over the Lord and the Apostles.

And of course this is easily proven to be false. I posted numerous verses in another post which to willfully choose to ignore. How would a dead body sleep without the mind that enables it to do so? Do you have any idea how truly nonsensically that is? The dead decaying body DOES NOT rise— it is the soul in its glorified body.
Goodness gracious!

David— this is why i need to stop responding— i feel like Im trying to dialogue with the Mad Hatter.
I say i need a drink of water and you say the Gulf of Mexico has plenty of water— its so much nonsense.To say a verse doesnt hold weight because of Moses and the prophets is nonsense! I quoted a verse that says the dead know nothing— and thats the truth— you cant argue with thst.

It is only the flesh body that dies, Laura.

the Bible is clear. We do not receive our glorified bodies until Christ Second coming. We cannot enter heaven before then.
