True. You're not resurrected yet, nor in the resurrection of the dead, except in your own mind.
They are not physically resurrected, they are ALIVE spiritually in heaven after death because God is God of the living, not the dead. How are they spiritually alive in heaven after physical death? Before death they had part in the first resurrection through Christ, who is the first resurrection of the dead to immortality and incorruption.
Their bodies still are.
Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
You're spiritual millennium is a pathetic joke of nothingness, born of a self-inflated sense of scholarly pretence.
There won't be a physical resurrection from the graves until the seventh angel sounds the hour coming on the last day of this age. Those who have done good, like the patriarch David, will spiritually return with the Lord from heaven to receive his resurrected immortal and incorruptible physical body from the grave for everlasting life. The dead in the graves in the hour coming, who have done evil shall also be resurrected for damnation.
1 Thessalonians 4:14 (KJV) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so
them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
John 5:28-29 (KJV) Marvel not at this: for
the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Because they will be that way when resurrected from the graves?
You do every time you sin. OSAS by faith alone is dead, and resurrection by doctrine alone is delusional.
Like most who lack faith, you don't believe Christ when He tells us, whosoever lives and believes in Him SHALL NEVER DIE!
John 11:26 (KJV) And
whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Perhaps you simply lack understanding of 'eternal life'? Eternal means:
perpetual (also used of past time, or past and future as well):—
eternal, for ever, everlasting, world (began). Never in this verse is a double negative strengthening the denial;
not at all:—
any more, at all,
by any (no) means, neither,
never, no (at all), in no case (wise), nor ever, not (at all, in any wise).
You can never understand the truth of God's Word without faith to believe all that Christ has said. Sadly, you lack faith Gilligan!
You do every time you sin. OSAS by faith alone is dead, and resurrection by doctrine alone is delusional.
Now you prove not only that you have not faith to believe Christ, but also your ignorance of Scripture! When I sin, and I do sometimes, I have Christ my advocate who not only has forgiven but continues to forgive. I'm not kept by my own ability to be good, I am saved, and being saved, and shall be saved because I know and believe Christ, who has given me assurance of the everlasting life I have through Him. Sadly you show you have not this assurance, and so you vehemently respond to anyone who does have this blessed assurance, just as we have come to expect from anyone who is still under the power of the evil one.
True, if we endure and overcome temptation unto the end. Otherwise, we wake up in hell like all them that die in their sins.
What an odd answer? Do you not realize those who have died and spiritually gone to heaven HAVE ALREADY endured to the end? They are since physical death present with the Lord in heaven a spiritual body, and will be physically resurrected immortal and incorruptible in the hour that is coming when every physical body in the graves will be resurrected either for life or damnation.
Indwelt is a cute word.
Forever is now and in the end, if we keep ourselves from sinning, so that the devil touches us not.
Doctrinal salvation is worthless without doing it. Only those doing righteousness of God are righteous as He. Doctrinal righteousness only is dead faith alone trusting in one's own imagined justification.
I'm glad you like the word 'indwelt'. I get this word from Scripture because Christ said His Spirit shall be IN US. The Bible NEVER presents being saved as a work of man. In FACT the Bible says exactly the opposite! But as I've already said, you show through your replies that you lack faith and therefore have NOT understanding of the written Word of God.
Believing we are saves is not the same as being saved. Just because we believe something, doesn't make it so.
It makes is so when Christ says it!!! And He has said when we live and believe in Him we shall NEVER DIE! That means nothing to you because you have NOT faith to believe Christ. I can't imagine anyone posting here would think of you as a serious-minded student of the Bible??? You actually come across as one who fights against God and disparages His Word!
All angels and men are created spiritual beings with thought and intent and imagination of th eheart and mind.
And so, angels and men can have vain imaginations of their minds. Lucifer thinks in his heart to be God, and you think in your heart to be an angel in heaven. You're both delusional.
Are you being deliberately daft? Mankind is body (dust) spirit (breath of life, mental acuity) and together called living souls. The spirit (breath of life, mind) in man possesses ETERNAL LIFE that shall NEVER DIE when we are born again of Christ's life-giving Spirit. It is through His Spirit in us, giving us life that we ascend to heaven spirit souls after our body dies. Our body returns to dust from which it came. You seem to have knowledge of Satan, too bad you have not knowledge of Christ through faith.
True. They're not yet resurrected and as angels with immortal bodies as angels. And especially not any person still in natural bodies on earth.
Angels have NO body, because they are spirit, not flesh. To be immortal speaks of man's flesh, not spirits. When we live and believe in Christ we HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, so in death we become as are the angels in heaven, celestial beings, spirits as they are. This is true for all who die in FAITH, because while still alive they have part in the first resurrection through Christ when they were born again/born from above.
Hebrews 1:7 (KJV) And of the angels he saith,
Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Spirit:
πνεῦμα pneûma, pnyoo'-mah - a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively, a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, demon, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit:—ghost, life, spirit(-ual, -ually), mind.
There is nothing more that I need to add here because without faith you shall NEVER understand. Your mind and heart appear as dark as your lack of understanding of God's Word!
