Where does the Fall play into your theology? At the Fall, Adam rebelled against God. This has resulted in all the death and suffering in the world. However, God is in control, and the end result is the redemption of the elect. These elect know that sin only leads to death and suffering...

This article has some very good info on this topic. It is focused on the resurrection body of believers, but much of the same material applies to Jesus' resurrection...

Easter is rapidly approaching, and it is time to think about the resurrection. Christianity teaches that Jesus' body was resurrected on the third day. He appeared to many after the resurrection, and showed his resurrection body to the disciples numerous times. This body was glorified, and...

Folks, simply realize that this guy can't even understand the concept that there is continuity between the pre-resurrection body, and the post-resurrection body. I have given him more than one example, and more than one Scriptural proof. Paul used the analogy of the seed and the plant...

Again, you are one of the most dense individuals I have encountered. If a house is remodeled, it is still the same house. It has been changed in terms of its' original composition, but it is still the same house. In regards to the bodily resurrection, this is CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE which has...

Go back and read the post. It was addressed to Deade and is based on other posts I have made in regards to his heretical views. And he told me that he got his views from Armstrongism, at least in part...

By the way, there is a reason why these doctrines have stood the test of time. It is because they are true. I don't drink the Koolaid of heretics anymore. These guys stumble on the scene 1900 years later and claim that they have restored the "true gospel". By the way, it's not hard to...

Thanks for your reinforcement. I used to believe in soul sleep, too...and you have hit on some of the major problems with their belief, particularly the remark about being "absent from the body" and being with the LORD. It's obvious it's not talking about the resurrected state, because the...

I will be like Christ in his glorified humanity. I will represent God in terms of exercising dominion over his new creation, under Jesus Christ and his Messiahship. I will reflect the image of God in this manner, as Adam was created for. I will not be spirit, like God. By the way, Jesus...

By the way, that's why I created this thread: https://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/will-glorified-believers-become-god.190806/ I used to belong to a cult that taught the demonic doctrine that man becomes God at the resurrection. It sounds convincing at a surface level but it is...

You also believe man becomes God. Anyone reading these words needs to consider this. My understanding is that you subscribe to Herbert Armstrong's theology, and as an ex Armstrongite, I know that he rejected the bodily resurrection because he believed he was God in embryonic form. At his...

By the way, I was informed by a knowledgeable dispensationalist that EW Bullinger's teachings are rejected by the vast majority of dispensationalists, and his influence is mainly limited to his followers. Here's what he said "Traditional Dispensationalist all basically reject all the false...

I encourage Christians to study the bodily resurrection from sound sources of information, reviewing the biblical references they provide, and ask yourself whether there is continuity between the body prior to the resurrection and after the resurrection. Also, read 1 Corinthians 15 and Romans 8...

I have made it clear that it is the SAME BODY but it has been changed in terms of characteristics and qualities. It has been glorified. I compared the continuity with a seed and a plant. The glorified body is spiritual, as 1 Corinthians 15 teaches. This doesn't mean the body is spirit, but...

This is an excellent explanation, and exposes the shallow exegesis of those who teach soul-sleep. I used to be one that held this position. It is convincing at a surface level, but a deeper exegesis exposes their errors. It is like other teachings such as annihilationism, in that it is used...

Matt's position, as well as my own and orthodox Christianity, is exactly the same as this article reflects. And, the bodily resurrection is a CORE TEACHING of Christianity. Matt was NOT claiming that the resurrection body is the same in terms of composition, but is the same physical body that...

You don't seem to comprehend that Christ's physical body was, indeed, raised from the grave. It was raised and changed in terms of characteristics or composition. There was a continuity between the old body and the new body, much like there is continuity between a seed and the plant that issues...

Fair enough. I found it listed as a variant of spelling after making my post. Of course, I don't know anything about the claims of this "Companion Bible". But, I did a little research on it. Apparently the cultist Arnold Murray from Shepherd's Chapel recommended it so that would make it...

Just another day at Christianchat..jousting windmills :

Actually...no... These verses are talking about Jesus, the Son of God, becoming flesh in approximately 4 BC. They have nothing to do with the indwelling of Jesus in the believer through the mediation of the Holy Spirit. He became the unique God-man at that point. However, through union with...
