Yes.
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. John 11:38-39
Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. John 11:40-41
Who told you soul and spirit are the same? The body is a temple for the spirit, together a living being is a soul. The outcome of salvation could be summarized as this: the saved live twice, die once; the unsaved live once, die twice, first is the death of the body, the second is the death of the soul.
As for Adam, my understanding is the "one day for a thousand years" equation, a day for the lord is a thousand years for mankind, Adamn died at 930, within 1000 years. I'm aware that in most sermons his disobedience is interpreted as "spiritual death", that's a sign of deviation from Sola Scriptura principle.
Spirit and soul being the same is not an uncommon idea. It's wrong. I don't know how you read that it what I've said. God said that Adam would die the day that he disobeyed God. You don't need a degree in Hebrew see that Adam died spiritually. Lord Jesus never directly claimed that He was God. But indirectly, it obvious that He was and is. Likewise, that Adam died spiritually is clear as day.
I'll no doubt get a mouthful for saying so, but "Sola Scriptura" is also not found in the Bible. God speaks today still. People are not perfect, the Church is not perfect and the Bible is incomplete. John said as much. Paul said so also.
A day is like a thousand years. A thousand years is like day. So you could say that Adam lived less than a day. I don't know why you bring that up. How is it relevant?
Spirit cannot die, if it's unclean, ungodly, it'll suffer for eternity, that's what the second death is for. I don't need a degree in Hebrew to know that because it's all in the bible, that is clear as day.
Is the bible the highest authority on earth? Above the pope, the government or any other ecclesiastical figure? Yes or no?
It is relevant because that's the correct way to understand the "day" which Adam will die for eating the forbidden fruit. He didn't die on that 24'hour day, he died within a 1000 years. There's no such thing as "spiritual death". If Adam had died spiritually, then enlighten me, when was he born spiritually? When did he get baptized and receive the Holy Spirit? When? If he had never been born of the spirit, how could he be dead of the spirit?
I cannot remember Scripture speaking of the Lord's faith, although I am pondering whether or not that would be part of his humanity,
but yes, GW DOES teach that we cooperate with the Lord via MFW (Matt. 4:17, 23:37) and are justified or share the righteousness of Christ via our saving faith (John 3:16, Rom. 3:21-5:1).
Yes, "sola scriptura" means God-given insights will not contradict the apostolic canon, which supersedes the OC/T/Torah.
Also, " a day is like a thousand years" could mean a day is like any number of years, although the advent of AI warfare makes it look like Armageddon a la "Terminator" could occur soon if Trump does not make peace in the Middle East happen via the Abraham Accord.
It's my understanding that we no longer follow the OT feast days.
Even Passover had been changed to Easter....
Passover: Yahweh passed over the houses with the blood of the Lamb on the top and sides of the doorway.
Now we no longer need to remember this Passover feast because it has been superseded by the resurrection, which is celebrated at Easter.
So, in this same way, EVERY OT feast is not obsolete.
(i'm not familiar with all of them).
Well, the first movement of the divine salvation opus began with a bang (creation, Gen. 1:1-3) and climaxed with Easter (Heb. 9:24-26),
and the final movement began with confusion (resurrection, John 20:9, Acts 2:12) and will conclude with Judgment (Heb. 9:27-28).
Interesting.
Always nice to speak to persons that actually THINK.
The resurrection certainly was a kind of big bang.
I believe we have the effect of it stored up in a church in Torino.
As to confusion...would have to agree with Acts 2:12
But John 20:9 ??
Didn't this make John understand?
John 20:9
6When Simon Peter got there, he went into the tomb and saw the strips of cloth.
7He also saw the piece of cloth that had been used to cover Jesus' face. It was rolled up and in a place by itself.
8The disciple who got there first then went into the tomb, and when he saw it, he believed.
9At that time Peter and the other disciple did not know that the Scriptures said Jesus would rise to life. 10So the two of them went back to the other disciples.
Never noticed that verses 8 and 9 KIND OF conflict.
What did John believe in v erse 8?
I believe that AT THAT TIME, in verse 9,,,,means the time (period) before John and Peter went to the tomb.
Whatsoever you'd like to call it, new covenant is restoration of the old, which the Israelites broke with their idolatry.
Also, NT gospel is summerized in 1 Cor. 15:3, Christ died for our sins, according to the Scripture (OT). Any other gospel, even preached by an angel, is from the devil. Two most common forms of these other gospels are "prosperity gospel" and "social gospel", it is very easy to fall for either one of these without your awareness, if your understanding is not according to the OT scripture.
