Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses,
even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come".
the Holy Ghost was not "poured out on ......
ALL FLESH yet" . supportive scripture, Luke 1:67 And his father Zacharias
was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying". was our Lord glorified then?
see "GIVEN", prement dwelling...
now, "MADE PERFECT", SCRIPTURE,
Heb 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he
obedience by the things which he suffered;
Heb 5:9 And
being made perfect, he became the author of
eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
now are you obeying God in everything? ......................... if Iwas you, "don't answer that". but through him we are made perfect. well wthat about those before he came and obeyed? just read Hebrews 11 and being "Rightious" meaning,
G1343 δικαιοσύνη dikaiosune (d̮iy-kai-o-sï '-nee) n.
1. equity (of character or act).
2. righteousness.
3. (specially) the Righteousness ascribed by trust in Jesus.
[from G1342]
KJV: righteousness
the term "perfect" in Matthews 5:48 is G5046 τέλειος teleios (te'-lei-os) adj.
complete.
{(neuter as noun, with G3588) completeness; in various applications of labor, growth, mental and
moral character, etc.}
[from G5056]
KJV: of full age, man, perfect
1. equity (of character or act). ................ and
moral character, etc. bingo. scott, do you know what "
character" means? answer "SON". it's the Greek word, G5207 huios, like in Son of man or Son of God, God like "characteristics".... ;)
JESUS was made perfect how in the flesh? see again Heb 5:8 & 9 again.........
and let me hit you with something, the body of Christ? ..... Rom 12:5 "So we, being many, are one body
in Christ, and every one members one of another". but is not Christ the "HEAD" of the Church his .... body? and is he not in you, (the body?). this is only symbolic language for the work of the body in obediance to God himself. we're his HANDS and FEET "LITERALLY" when Christ was on the EARTH literally he didn't Go into all the world. now he, the HEAD dwells in us, now goes into all the world. for when the apostle Paul step in Rome Christ Jesus step in Rome. when the apostle Peter step in our brother Capt. Cornelius house in Acts chapter 10, Christ step there. are you getting this.
so your use of 1 Corinthians 12:27 was incorrect as for the Body of Christ. then you said,
ERROR, for did he not returned in Spirit on Pentecost? is not this what you said also? ok, if his body was left here on EARTH as you said, (the resurrected one), where is it, and what is it doing? book chapter and verse please.
now if you want to say, "
oh his body is the Church", ERROR the church is being built, it did not rise, it's under ongoing construction. so you cannot use that excuse, we're speaking of the "RESURRECTED" body he was in when he told his disciple to "HANDLE" him and put their hand in his side, ...... THAT BODY, the one you said, "
He physically rose from the dead in the world where His church remains until the end". yes, that BODY. thanks in advance.
