Mortal flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

[Spiritual Israelite]

Paul taught that mortal flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 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. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Yet, Premillennialists believe that mortal flesh and blood will inherit the kingdom of God. Why do they believe something that clearly contradicts what Paul taught? Do Premils not trust Paul's teaching? I'll explain what I mean.

Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:.....41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:....46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

I've seen various Premil interpretations of this passage, but they all see this as talking about mortal flesh and blood people inheriting "the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world". What other kingdom can that be except for the kingdom of God? But, somehow, premils have mortal flesh and blood people inheriting a temporal earthly kingdom when Jesus returns. They believe that despite what Paul taught in 1 Cor 15:50 and despite Jesus saying that the ones inheriting the kingdom are given "life eternal" when they inherit the kingdom.

This is just one of many reasons why Premillennialism is a false doctrine, but one that I think gets overlooked in the many Amil vs. Premil discussions.

The premils see what is posted and they know what's right, they see the eternal kingdom and eternal life in Matthew 25

They are stubborn and full of pride concerning their false doctrine, no different than a person believing the tribulation seen in Matthew 24:15 took place in 70AD, and then claim Matthew 24:29-30 Jesus returns immediately after a future tribulation, with a false 2,000 year gap seen

Paul taught that mortal flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

It is our spirits that have that honour.

 

[Timtofly]

neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

This is why dead flesh cannot inherit anything.

It is a permanent incorruptible physical body that inherits the kingdom, after the soul is placed in that physical body.

This flesh and blood Paul is talking about, returns to dust. Even you say it comes back out of the dust, no?

It does not come back out of the dust, because it cannot inherit anything. Even you think that same flesh and blood once brought out of the dust can inherit the kingdom of God, but literally it cannot and won't ever inherit anything but a return to dust, never to be seen again.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

It is our spirits that have that honour.

In the future when Jesus returns at the last trumpet, the dead in Christ and those who are alive and remain will inherit the kingdom of God bodily after the dead in Christ are raised from the dead and we are all changed to have immortal bodies (1 Cor 15:50-54). Do you believe that? If so, what do you think that means in relation to Matthew 25:34?

Can you please address what I said in my original post relating to what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:50 which is that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God? What is your understanding of this verse which describes what will happen after Jesus comes with His angels:

Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Do you believe that corruptible flesh and blood will inherit "the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."? Other premils do because they believe people with their corruptible and mortal bodies will inherit that kingdom on earth for a thousand years. But, my point is that belief contradicts 1 Corinthians 15:50. What are your thoughts on that?

I believe this is talking about the age to come.

Yes amen and this is also the reason for the rapture moments before the end of our world.

The rapture isn't to save us from a 7 tribulation time on earth its so that we can go to heaven

The reason why Premillennialists avoid this is because they have got no answer to it. It's absolutely destroys their doctrine.

It's interesting how no Premils have come here to challenge my post, isn't it. They know they have mortal flesh and blood inheriting the kingdom of God when Jesus returns and they know this blatantly contradicts what Paul taught in 1 Cor 15:50-54. But, they don't care. What have we seen repeatedly on this forum? People believing what they want to believe while doing absolutely nothing to back up their beliefs with scripture.

Can you please address what I said in my original post relating to what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:50 which is that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God? What is your understanding of this verse which describes what will happen after Jesus comes with His angels:

Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Do you believe that corruptible flesh and blood will inherit "the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."? Other premils do because they believe people with their corruptible and mortal bodies will inherit that kingdom on earth for a thousand years. But, my point is that belief contradicts 1 Corinthians 15:50. What are your thoughts on that?

Those are my thoughts. Corruption cannot inherit the kingdom. An incorruptible physical body can inherit the kingdom.

You are saying something is physical. Jesus and Paul are saying Adam's dead flesh is corruptible. God's permanent living flesh is not corruptible.

It does not matter where one lives, either on the earth or in Paradise during the Millennial Kingdom. What matters is what body they have. Both those on earth and in heaven will have a permanent incorruptible physical body, not Adam's dead corruptible physical body.

That permanent incorruptible physical body is nothing new. It is what Adam was created with. Jesus had a permanent incorruptible physical body. All the sons of God had permanent incorruptible physical bodies.

What Adam was given when he disobeyed, was a physical body of death and corruption. That body cannot inherit the kingdom. That body is passed down generation to generation from one's parents. That body will return to dust, never to be seen again.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

Those are my thoughts.

LOL. I'm asking for your thoughts on Matthew 25:34 specifically. Would you agree that the ones Jesus calls "the sheep" there inherit the kingdom with incorruptible bodies since Paul taught that corruptible flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God? Yes or no? I'm only asking you to comment on that verse and not anything else.

I said it did not matter if some one lived physically in Paradise/heaven or on earth. All will have a permanent incorruptible physical body. The same physical body Jesus was born with, so it can be conceived in a womb. The same one Adam and all the sons of God were given on the 6th day prior to the first Day of the Lord, millennial earth, where the sons of God, many generations subdued the earth prior to sin and death.

You place physical as not existing after the Second Coming as if existence will only be spiritual, what ever that means.

You do realize that creation was both physical and spiritual equally before Adam disobeyed, not spiritual, and then suddenly turned physical?

What happened when Adam disobeyed was that Adam and Eve were removed from a permanent incorruptible physical body and placed in a body of death. That body is what Paul said could not inherit the kingdom.

That is being in a physical state of death. The spiritual state of death was separation from our spirit, which is not "air" by the way.

Then creation itself was placed under the bondage of sin and decay.

The sheep in Matthew 25 are not believers verses non believers. The sheep are the third of Israel redeemed at the Second Coming, who inherit the earthly Israel, for a thousand years until the current creation is returned to God. The goats are the two thirds of Israel tossed into the LOF.

For the Gentile harvest that is found in Matthew 13. The Gentile redeemed are the wheat, and the Gentiles tossed directly into the LOF are the tares.

The church is removed prior to the sheep and wheat, final harvest. If any one is left, then Satan will get 42 months so those beheaded can choose the physical death of Adam's flesh and blood instead of receiving the mark.

The church remains in Paradise until the New Jerusalem descends. The sheep and wheat subdue the earth during the Day of the Lord as originally intended before Adam disobeyed God.

Even after 6,000 years the earth has never been filled nor totally subdued. And still people complain about over population, because sin and decay destroys civilization.

One cannot just take one verse from Scripture and explain their point. You have to take that verse into consideration with the entire Bible.
