I understand this is what you believe but the Word is clear on this subject.
We can’t enter heaven if our spirit isn’t Born Again @face2face .....as we would still be in our sin, no sin can enter heaven......our sin must be forgiven by God then we must be Born Of The Spirit to see the Kingdom Of God, just as his word says.
Short commentary.
(2 Peter 1:1–2) 1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the elect who are exiles of the Dispersion throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosena 2according to the foreknowledge of God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by His blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance. A Living Hope 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us new birthb into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, 5who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials 7so that the proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9now that you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 10Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully, 11trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. 12It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things. A Call to Holiness (Hebrews 12:14–17) 13Therefore prepare your minds for action.c Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14As obedient children, do not conform to the passions of your former ignorance. 15But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do, 16for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”d 17Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners. 18For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers, 19but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot. 20He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake. 21Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him; and so your faith and hope are in God. The Enduring Word (Isaiah 40:6–8) 22Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.e 23For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 24For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, 25but the word of the Lord stands forever.”f And this is the word that was proclaimed to you. |
No human body enters heaven...our spirit does once it’s been Born Of The Spirit.
Nothing enters Heaven Rita. You don't have anything in you which is eternal. All you have is the knowledge of God's Word which is Spirit and that ceases upon death....hence the resurrection!
There was that prophecy convening the See of the woma, but Who was it that walked with Adam and Eve in the garden, and spoke to them that message of hope?
I am not only a partaker Of the divine nature i am also a spirit child of God, Born Again of imperishable seed ....wow!... I am shocked yet not surprised that you don’t know what it means to be Born Of The Spirit...the word tells you that you are in error...as we have the indwelling Holy Spirit ...The Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are the children of God and yet you deny this...
I have been Born Again of imperishable seed, Gods Living testimony witnesses that to my heart / spirit all day every day for the past 33 yrs...unfortunately what you say is not truth...Gods word backs up His Living testimonies truth...which unfortunately you deny...
Nope, my spirit is free from eternal damnation.Born Again and free from eternal damnation.

“The dead know nothing...their love, their hatred, and their envy is now perished” (Ecc. 9:5,6). There is no “wisdom in the grave” (Ecc. 9:10) - no thinking and therefore no consciousness.
We aren’t dead though, our spirit is Alive in Christ,/ reborn/ regenerated/ Born Of The Spirit....all = The Living spiritual birth....Born Again by divine heart revelation...
(Colossians 2:6–23) 1And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2in 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. 3All 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. 4But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved! 6And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.a One in Christ (Philippians 2:1–4) 11Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)— 12remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. 14For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility 15by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace 16and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He put to death their hostility. 17He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. Christ Our Cornerstone (Isaiah 28:14–22; 1 Corinthians 3:10–15; 1 Peter 2:1–8) 19Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone. 21In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.22And in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in His Spirit. |
Ive already shown you your error, using Gods word, regarding the Born Again who represent Jesus who are being conformed into his image..
Yes, very good!
Thank you for your long summary of what you believe, I will give it a good read later...
When we become Born Again our spirit comes Alive in Christ?
“Born again” became possible after Christ, right? (His sacrifice made that possible.)
I’m talking about now, not 2,000 years ago...
That is what you believe.i disagree ..so does scripture...we were chosen and predestined to become Born Again and to be conformed into the image of Jesus...I’ve already posted much scripture on the subject.
What seed are we Born Again of @face2face ...the Bible...or the Living seed of God, the Living Holy Spirit?
Who do you think the Living word of God is...it’s not the Bible...it’s the Living Holy Spirit, ..who brings our spirit Alive in Christ, the Bible or Gods Living witness His Living Holy Spirit?
