Intro: We’re continuing in our outline of the book of 1 Corinthians
Author - The apostle Paul wrote the book of 1 Corinthians () Paul helped establish the church of Corinth during his second missionary trip (), sometime around AD 50. he spent a year and a half there, and now he’s writing them a letter to address some issues that have been brought to His attention
Author - The apostle Paul wrote the book of 1 Corinthians (
) Paul helped establish the church of Corinth during his second missionary trip (
), sometime around AD 50. he spent a year and a half there, and now he’s writing them a letter to address some issues that have been brought to His attention
Date Written - Paul wrote 1 Corinthians from the city of Ephesus during his third missionary journey. He ministered in the city for more than two years () and most likely composed the letter around AD 55–56.
Paul said this...
1 And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom.
2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
1 cor 2:1-
Date Written - Paul wrote 1 Corinthians from the city of Ephesus during his third missionary journey. He ministered in the city for more than two years (
) and most likely composed the letter around AD 55–56.
Now through out this letter, though Paul has been dealing with issues, he keeps pressing one issue, he spoke about at the beginning of the letter, he found ways to speak about it in the middle of the letter, and now he’s brought it up again at the end of the letter…He keeps on telling them about the gospel…And in Chapter 15 we get the the lynch pin of the gospel message…the resurrection…thats what makes this passage so important...
The tone of this letter is one of correction and discipline

Skip Hazing said this...
“There were some key gospel teachings that he knew the church at Corinth needed a firm grasp of in order to be able to follow his advice in the rest of the letter. First and foremost was Jesus’s resurrection.

6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.
7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

Notice a few things
Paul says in verse “I delivering what I first received” (V.3) Many schoolers think that this declaration did not originate with Paul but was actually a creed began by the apostles that was passed on to all the church’s
He backs it up with eyewitness accounts (V.5-8) Cephas /Peter - The twelve - 500 hunted people at one time - James his half brother - He wants them to know that He’s not just speaking about a fiery tail but this is a moment in history when everything changed
He backs it up with eyewitness accounts (V.5-8) Cephas /Peter - The twelve - 500 hunted people at one time - James his half brother - He wants them to know that He’s not just speaking about a fiery tail but this is a moment in history that was public...
Remember…Jesus death was public…And Jesus’ resurrection was public
Not like other religions that base their entire system of belief upon some secret encounter with an angel, a secret revelation in a cave, an esoteric knowledge…What Jesus did…his ministry, his death, his resurrection…public…and it was the public who went and shared the news…even at the cost of losing their lives

James Alpheus: We know he lived at least five years after the death of Christ because of mentions in the Bible. According to tradition, James son of Alpheus was thrown down from the temple by the scribes and Pharisees; he was then stoned, and his brains dashed out with a fuller’s club.
Simon the Canaanite – No information either in the Bible or by tradition.
Jude (Thaddeus): according to tradition Jude taught in Armenia, Syria and Persia where he was martyred. Tradition tells us he was buried in Kara Kalisa in what is now Iran.
Judas Iscariot: Shortly after the death of Christ Judas killed himself. According to the Bible he hanged himself, () at Aceldama, on the southern slope of the valley of Hinnom, near Jerusalem, and in the act he fell down a precipice and was dashed into pieces.

John the baptist beheaded.
Matthew Chapter 14
3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put [him] in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife.
4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger.
9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded [it] to be given [her].
10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

Thanks for this comment! If one person writes, there are probably many others with the same question or thought.
The scriptures you are quoting refer to the death of John the Baptist who was killed just as Jesus began his ministry.
John the apostle was still alive years after the deaths of both John the Baptist and Jesus.
Reply📷rebeccaJanuary 14, 2014
@ patrocinia, this john you spoke of is John the baptist who died while JESUS was still around. But Apostle John is the author of the books of John, 1,2,3 Johns, and revelation. That john was Jesus’s disciple whom the angel of God gave the visions in the book of revelation to on the island of patmos, he was alive after Jesus’s death. Two different johns

jesus had no earthly brothers or sisters or a wife or any children by a wife. the closest to being a earthly brother at all would be james, raised with jesus by mary. mary had no earthly men, she was the only wife of god. the name god is no where spoken on any place of creation but earth, also jesus was not like any man on earth down there (reproduction) and mary, jesus mother was not like any earthly woman down there (reproduction). jesus was pure spirit with a flesh covering at birth.
Reply📷Lula S. SingletaryApril 23, 2017
After the birth of Jesus Joseph took Mary to be his wife. They had other children, although some churches teach hthe children were relatives. The scripture tells of Jesus’ mother and brothers coming to persuade Him. He says His mother and brothers are those who do the will of the Father. Jesus brother James grew up with Him. Te brothers are listed in Scripture. Google it.
📷Tekuru JohnJune 22, 2017
This I think is not correct that Jesus had no earthly brother as it is belived that Joseph the Spouse of Mary died when Jesus was Twelve years old. Does it mean that he (Joseph) was so angry that did not go into Mary again till his death. Jesus had brother. Remember him saying that those they call his brothers are not unless those who does what His heaven Father commanded.
📷OroJune 25, 2017
You not factual. Marry is the wife of Joseph, after the birth of Jesus, they consummated their marriage produced children, Read the Bible, it’s all recorded but not the assumption of Marry to the heaven which is a Roman Catholic doctrine but it’s not Biblical.
📷Omega NasonJuly 31, 2017
Greetings, don’t understand when you guys said mary the wife of god, is’t she the wife of Joseph on earth? Then, which of the god are you refering to?
📷Bride of the MessiahAugust 2, 2017
Sorry but GOD in His Holy Word, tells us differently. tells us that Joseph married Mary, and they did not have sex until AFTER she gave birth to the Messiah. That was to fulfill the prophecy, “a maiden/virgin will give birth” ().
After the birth of the Messiah, Joseph DID “know his wife” and she conceived children with him. Apostle Mark tells us their names.
2And Sabbath having come, He began to teach in the congregation (synagogue). And many who heard Him were astonished, saying, “Where did He get all this? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such miracles are done through His hands?
3“Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Miryam, and brother of Ya‛aqoḇ, and Yosĕph, and Yehuḏah, and Shim‛on? And are not His sisters here with us?”
Jesus’ brothers are mentioned in several other Bible verses. , , and say that Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him. The Bible tells us that Jesus had four brothers: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas (). The Bible also tells us that Jesus did have sisters, in . In , His brothers go on to the festival while Jesus stays behind. In , His brothers and mother are described as praying with the disciples. mentions that James was Jesus’ brother. The most natural conclusion of these passages is to interpret that Jesus had actual blood half-siblings.
2And Sabbath having come, He began to teach in the congregation. And many who heard Him were astonished, saying, “Where did He get all this? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such miracles are done through His hands?
3“Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Miryam, and brother of Ya‛aqoḇ, and Yosĕph, and Yehuḏah, and Shim‛on? And are not His sisters here with us?”
As the Bible says, Jesus had at least 2 maybe 3 sisters, Anna, Mary, and Salome (Salome in and 16:l ). You might also be interested in knowing that the sons of Zebedee (John and James) are his cousins as are the sons of Alphaeus (James, Joses (Barnabas), and Simon (?)). Alphaeus also had a daughter named Mary who was the mother of John Mark. Simon Peter says that John Mark is his son his epistles, so it seems apparent to me that he and Mary were married. To recap, it seems from scripture that Jesus had four brothers, at least three sisters, five male cousins, and at least one female cousin, Elizabeth mother of John the Baptist. My understanding is that all of his cousins were on Joseph’s side as Mary was an only child. Zechariah.
Matthew Chapter 1:18, 24, 25
18But the birth of יהושע Messiah was as follows: After His mother Miryam was engaged to Yosĕph, before they came together, she was found to be pregnant from the Set-apart Spirit. 24And Yosĕph, awaking from his sleep, did as the messenger of יהוה commanded him and took his wife,
25but knew her not until she gave birth to her Son, the first-born. And he called His Name יהושע.
The Catholic concept that Mary was a perpetual virgin is false.
📷Scott M SykesNovember 22, 2017
actually Jim,
Jude, James – who was also the head of the Jerusalem church after the death of Christ, or have you forgotten your scripture? You know where Christ was told His mother and brothers were outside for Him. To which He replied, “Who are my mother, my brothers and sisters? Those who do the will of Him who sent me.” Stop showing your ignorance.
📷WilliamJanuary 2, 2018
Pardon me but, Jesus had several “half” brothers and perhaps a “half” sister or two as well. Scripture says that Jesus was both fully God and fully man at the same time. He never married but was still a human being and God together. And, the Bible states that after Jesus’ birth Joseph and Mary went on to have the half-brothers and sisters aforementioned herein.
📷BrianJanuary 25, 2018
Not biblical at all. Mary had a husband named Joseph. Jesus brothers are mentioned at least once. Recorded in scripture.
📷wncApril 13, 2018
this person has fallen for a catholic doctrine which is false. he is completely blinded by its doctrine, never checks the Bible nor the Jews’ bible. In this occasion, perhaps he’ll change some verse in the Bible…. like other false-christian belief.
I hope His salvation for you from Jesus’ death won’t be wasted… For it is Jesus who bless people, not Mary, His mother. Blessing!
📷chikamoreApril 30, 2018
that Mary was ‘not like any earthly woman regarding reproduction is true in a way, but because of that statement; many have formed a religious thought with many ideas about Mary that are not true. For one she is not to be statued and lifted up as not earthly and different from all. Yes someone had to be chosen to do this give birth to Jesus, but she is not to be idolized to a statue sense / she is rather, humble and blessed, totally all human like us. She still is born from Adams lineage and has that sin seed in her like all people born from Adam. She cannot be separated from everyone and immortalized like some religions make her out to be. Jesus has no mother or father on earth. He even said so. In a way he did, but they are not like Him. His Father is in heaven, and only that Father is the one to call Father. No statues, no Mary as being the God mother we pray to. NO. The Holy Spirit must be lifted up and brought forward, not Mary. Mary was the good mother on earth, who fulfilled her servant role , just as the apostles did, and the disciples did. Not more, not less. If we pray to Mary, we may as well be praying to Gabrielle the angel and Michael the angel etc etc for they had a role too. No Mary is not part of the Godhead, and Mary is never to be prayed to. At all. ever.
📷Mary Job HawkinsJuly 31, 2018
Two gospels both mention the earthly brothers of Jesus. 55 records these brothers as known and recognised by people local to Nazareth and around Galilee.
Four brothers names are given: Jude, Jose’s, James, and Simon. Mary, his mother, is mentioned by name, the sisters names are not given but sisters are mentioned as recognized. 3 records the same names being given, and the mention of sisters present. Jesus grew up in a family, with siblings cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and neighbors. The Bible records all the facts. Mary was a Godly woman, but a wife and mother as “ordinary” in a Jewish culture. Like 2 v 44 mentions kinfolk and aquaintences.
📷Derrick WellsSeptember 7, 2018
According to scripture Jesus did have brothers and sisters. His parents were still together when He was 12 years old do anyone honestly believe they did not have a real human relationship ????..
📷BillJanuary 28, 2019
Jim you are wrong. Mary HAD an Earthly husband. The Bible named him as Joseph. The Bible also tells us he had brothers and sisters (to be sure today they would be considered half brothers and sisters since they had a different father. Tradition tells us that at least 2 of the Apostles WERE his brothers.
📷BillJanuary 29, 2019
WOW JIM! I just finished reading your comment. I posted my earlier comment before finishing. Whoever taught you the Bible ought to removed as a teacher and sent back for retraining. First of all Mary had an Earthly husband. The Bible tells us that he took Mary to wife BEFORE Christ was born. As for her NOT HAVING REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS. The Bible also tells us that Joseph knew his wife after Christ’s birth. Those children spoken of in Matthew were the offspring of Mary and Joseph. Also, let’s look at this logically. How could she have given birth to Christ if she didn’t have any reproductive organs (DOWN THERE) That down there statement seems to imply that maybe she was deformed. Maybe her reproductive organs were elsewhere on her body. Maybe she was a space alien! No Jim, she was a perfectly formed woman with everything where it should be. Since God is the creator of the universe, how do you know his name isn’t spoken anywhere else (by what you write you seem to mean other planets). Have you been to other planets and know this first hand? Please do not make these false statements that have no basis in fact

Reply📷Mary Jo HawkinsJuly 31, 2018
The Bible records many named John. The two very most mentioned are John the Baptist,
a cousin to Jesus who evangelized and baptised Believers into the gospel message of repenting and following the Messiah. He was also arrested and later beheaded, he, John the Baptist, did not write any of the Bible. The author of the Gospel of John, who was one of the 12 disciples, also wrote, First John, Second John, and Third John. Short letter like books in the New Testament. The book of Revelation, the last book in the new Testament. Was also written by this John, the same oneJesus and scripture called “beloved”.

Reply📷SBMay 25, 2017
The practical argument against Mary the Mother of Jesus not having other children comes in the form of another question: If you, a virgin, had personally been visited by the Holy Spirit of God and impregnated with God himself, would you be inclined at all to give yourself, after the birth of Jesus, to a mere man? Your social position has already been taken care of–you have a child (Jesus) and are married, and so carry no stigma of barrenness or being an unwed mother.

In those days life expectancy was not good and there were many people taken in for adoption. No way of being certain that these “brothers” of Jesus were actually blood brothers. Just as likely that these other brothers were adopted into Mary’s family. Remember at the Cross Jesus told John “behold you mother” and, to Mary, Jesus said “behold your son” regarding John.
Reply📷MikeApril 21, 2018
There actually is a way to be certain of this. The greek word here is adelphos and indicates a shared parent. So adoption would not work in this context.

📷BillJanuary 29, 2019
Bob…show me in the Bible where it says Mary and Joseph ADOPTED these other brothers and sisters. The Bible says he had brothers and sisters and a mother and father. Since it isn’t stated there the assumption MUST be they were of the natural variety. This assumption of adoption comes from the Catholic dogma which has no basis in Biblical fact.
📷Mary Jo HawkinsJuly 31, 2018
Tradition and the nature of the ancient culture of Judaism would expect any wife and husband to have normal relations in marriage. Joseph protected Mary, cared for her, provided for her and married her out of both natural feelings and Divine direction. The Bible makes no mention and no provision under law, custom, or culture, for Mary and Joseph not to a regular husband and wife. Like 1 v 25 says: “And he, (Joseph) knew her not UNTIL she had brought forth her firstborn son:and he (Joseph) called his name Jesus.
Reply📷Guy ChamberlainSeptember 27, 2018
Whoever reads the New Testament seriously, or gives thought to the impact which the apostles made upon their generation, must acknowledge that one outstanding historic event alone spurred that small band of 11 ordinary men to an amazing task of evangelization in their generation. Defying every obstacle, loss of home, persecution, even death itself, they evidenced the supreme relevance in their ministry of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
You are applying prideful, ego-centric attributes to Mary, that may be sometimes, but not necessarily, associated to attitudes today. Your argument has no validity.

John the Baptist was not an Apostle..he was a disciple, a believer and the first to Herald Christ coming from his mother’s womb when Mary visited John’s mother Elizabeth prior to John’s birth.. He recognized, he signified, he prophesied. But he did not live with Him on daily basis.. his role was different than the 12 Apostles. But certainly no less important. We live his message now: Prepare ye the way of the Lord.

Yes that’s true, this bible passage is about John the Baptist not John the Beloved. John the beloved didn’t die a matyr, he wrote the Book of Revelation for he was exiled to the Island of Patmos after he was thrown into a pot of boiling oil but didn’t die.

Hi Melanie
It is not in the Bible but it is in writings of the early church fathers.
From the Catholic Encyclopedia…
The later accounts of John
The Christian writers of the second and third centuries testify to us as a tradition universally recognized and doubted by no one that the Apostle and Evangelist John lived in Asia Minor in the last decades of the first century and from Ephesus had guided the Churches of that province.
In his “Dialogue with Tryphon” (Chapter 81) St. Justin Martyr refers to “John, one of the Apostles of Christ” as a witness who had lived “with us”, that is, at Ephesus. St. Irenæus speaks in very many places of the Apostle John and his residence in Asia and expressly declares that he wrote his Gospel at Ephesus (Against Heresies III.1.1), and that he had lived there until the reign of Trajan (loc. cit., II, xxii, 5). With Eusebius (Church History III.13.1) and others we are obliged to place the Apostle’s banishment to Patmos in the reign of the Emperor Domitian (81-96).
Previous to this, according to Tertullian’s testimony (De praescript., xxxvi), John had been thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil before the Porta Latina at Rome without suffering injury. After Domitian’s death the Apostle returned to Ephesus during the reign of Trajan, and at Ephesus he died about A.D. 100 at a great age.
Tradition reports many beautiful traits of the last years of his life: that he refused to remain under the same roof with Cerinthus (Irenaeus “Ad. haer.”, III, iii, 4); his touching anxiety about a youth who had become a robber (Clemens Alex., “Quis dives salvetur”, xiii); his constantly repeated words of exhortation at the end of his life, “Little children, love one another” (Jerome, “Comm. in ep. ad. Gal.”, vi, 10). On the other hand the stories told in the apocryphal Acts of John, which appeared as early as the second century, are unhistorical invention.

John (John the Beloved) did not die, but was told by Jesus that he would “tarry till I come” (the second coming). shows that even the apostles said he wouldn’t die, but Jesus actually said he would “tarry” (pretty much the same thing). Anyway he was changed so that he could not die as we normally understand it.
Other writings show they tried to kill him but couldn’t, so he was exiled to Patmos, where he wrote the book of Revelation.
Other speculations or assumptions of his death are only that, because we naturally assume that all men die, but that is not what he was promised.

Judas Iscariot In Heaven or in Hell? Did Judas go to Hell?

Reply📷Nikky MckinzieAugust 20, 2013
Whether or not Judas Iscariot went to hell is not tied to his action against Jesus, but rather to whether or not he had accepted Jesus as his Savior. Many have analyzed his motives in betraying Jesus and some have theorized that he did believe in Jesus, but felt that Jesus was going about things in the wrong way or that he had become disillusioned with what he had believed would be the triumphant establishment of a Kingdom on earth and had instead realized that Jesus did not intend to have his Kingdom on earth (at least not yet). In any case, if he believed, but betrayed his Savior with the best of intentions (and it is fairly certain that he did not expect Jesus to be actually harmed) then he went to Heaven. If not, then hell was his destination.

Judas Iscariot has no bad intention to betrayed Jesus. He knows due to the miracles his master has being doing, HE thus JESUS will vanish into tin air when the soldiers come to arrest HIM, he Judas has already collected the money, handed HIM over to you, but you couldn’t catch HIM. So he Judas repented when his master was finally arrested and killed. Therefore in the last day, this sin of hanging him will not prevent him from entering heaven.
Reply📷Jeremiah RasmussenJanuary 7, 2017
On Passover night Jesus called him son of perdition, as Jesus knew his heart. He said satan had entered into Judas. Also, the Bible tells us that Judas was embezzling the disciples funds. He was acting in selfish motives in all things, and expected to be made a great leader if Jesus became the ruling Messiah.
Reply📷Mary Jo HawkinsJuly 31, 2018
The risen Jesus refers to Judas as the “son of perdition” the onle lost to him. Judas may have meant little harm, but Judas went to the temple priests seeking recompense to betray Jesus. Not nice. Jesus tells Judas at the last supper it would be better not to be born, than to betray him, and Luke records Jesus as saying “woe to the man by whom the Son of man is betrayed”. Sounds very ominous for Judas. Judas was sorrowful, but did not repent. He tossed back the money, and goes out and hangs himself, by the neck, near the tombs. The priests are so guilty that even they do not take the money spent on innocent blood, not can they allow it back in the Temple Treasury. Ironically, they buy a potters field for the poor, the people Jesus most loved, lifted up, and healed, and taught. The betrayal of innocent blood, with no thought of asking for forgiveness is what sends Judas to be condemned. Not his supposed ideal of helping Jesus out in some rash way.

It’s been awhile but if I remember correctly isn’t there a reference in the NT to the
effect that Judas did not kill himself, but was murdered in secret when he threw
the 30 pieces of silver back to the men who had bought him in the 1st place. Now
I know the Bible talks of Judas putting the rope around his neck but he was found
with a large sword wound in his chest. I believe he did repent and was murdered
because he refused to stay “bought” by the same group of men who set Christ up.
Reply📷Margaret HunterOctober 16, 2013
I’m not aware of that reference.
Reply📷GaryOctober 17, 2014
No such references in the Bible. Matthew reports simply ” And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.” Some translators maintain that the hanging is a mistranslation, and today we would rather say that Judas was “choked up” with grief, rather than that he hanged himself.
The Gospels of Mark, Luke and John do not record the fate of Judas.
Luke does, in “Acts” record Judas death… “Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.”
To harmonized the accounts in Matthew and Acts, some theorize that Judas indeed did hang himself, but none would defile themselves during holy days, by either touching a dead corpse (thus becoming ritually unclean and being unable to participate in the Jewish rites), or by doing the work (illegal on Jewish Holy and Sabbath days) of removing the body. Thus, the body ultimately bloated and fell (or was dropped during later removal) and burst.
The details really do not matter, and are incidental to the story of salvation through Christ.

NOT TRUE. Where in God’s Word, that is the Law and Prophets, does God say taking ones own life is a sin? The reference to 1 Corinthians is about how we live and present ourselves in the world to the world. For we are a set apart people who are not of this world but of the Kingdom of Heaven. Neither should we show that we have any part of this world other than to be here to save those who are lost.

As God, Jesus had to know full well who’d betray Him. Judas was used as His instrument. I believe they both knew it, and that Judas faced the most difficult task ever given a mortal man.

It is not for us to know whether Judas is in heaven or hell. Nor does it matter. No one will know until they enter heaven, or God forbid hell. However, Judas, in that moment that he handed Christ over to the Pharisees, in a way stood for us when we sin and betray Jesus. We all in a way take part in the handing over of Jesus, but Judas is our representation for all time and space in that moment.

Hell? Jesus teaches us that there is a prison where we have to pay to get out. Some believe this to be a place of purging–or Purgatory. There is no final judgment until the Last Day when those who did not work for Jesus while here, but for themselves only, will be put with the goats and sent to the place of punishment made for Satan and his angels. So where did Judas go? Jesus said to his Father that he lost him. That is all we have for now.

Its says no man should say if one went to heaven or hell because we don’t know. But a man can’t ask for forgiveness and go on and commit a crime, when you come into the understanding of what you did was wrong, then you ask for forgiveness and don’t commit the sin again. Where you get this understanding from is from Mary magdalene, when told to go and don’t do it again. We live by the new Testament, use old Testament as a guide.

Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah) testified of Judas that “Yeshua said to them, “Have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is a Satan?” And that, “he went to his own place”. BTW, “Satan” is not a proper name, but a title wherein it is used here. This says to me, that Judas Iscariot did not repent of his sin of the betrayal of Christ. But, rather, that he killed himself in remorse, which is not the same as true repentance.
You will recall, another, younger man was elected by the Spirit of Holiness to take Judas’ place as the 12th Apostle, whom John records as becoming one of the twelve kings depicted in the book of Revelation.

Heaven is another name for paradise – Jesus said to the repentant thief, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” (ESV) After Jesus’ resurrection, he returned to earth for many days and then returned to Heaven (paradise) in front of witnesses.
9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. 10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
You said “We were made on Earth” true, (I’m assuming you are talking about the planet earth being you said “made on earth” instead of saying made of earth. But that does not necessarily mean we shall return to the planet Earth. says “By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” God is talking about our earthly body when He says “to dust you shall return”.
Reply📷Soldier OfYHVHJuly 14, 2017
Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden located in the Kingdom of the Heavens (the physical kingdom of Paradise given to Jesus by God to rule)). It would make sense, then, that the home of humans is in Eden. Heaven and Paradise are two different arenas. Heaven is the home of YHVH, angels, and every spiritual being. Humans, plants, and animals were created to be material/physical beings, and this is why these organisms were confined to the Garden of Eden.
The human body, the home of the human spirit, is a gift from God, and is the vehicle used by the human spirit to experience life and living.
If the human/physical existence was so insignificant that it would be destined for Heaven, why would the angels have been driven by jealousy and envy to fall to a human state? The human body is a gift from God. There isn’t anything material/physical in Heaven; earth/material is the opposite of Heaven/ethereal/spiritual
“Material beings understand material things, and spiritual beings understand spiritual things”
Jesus.
The human body was designed for the material world, not the spiritual one.

You are right in your questioning! Humans were created with a body that would allow the human spirit to experience the beauty and gift of Life. If Adam and Eve had not have disobeyed, then they would not have returned to dust because returning to dust would be the wage of sin (death).
The Bible has become so polluted by human misinterpretation, that it is better to rely on the Spirit to provide Wisdom so that you can interpret those misinterpretations correctly.
“Do not worry about what you will say because at that moment, the Holy Spirit will teach you what to say”
Jesus
If the Spirit will teach you what to say in that hour, this means that you will not already know the answers. So this means that just because you know the Bible inside out, this does not mean that the answer will always come from the Bible (verses coming straight from the mouth of God, live and in person). Jesus was hated by the Pharisees for just that reason!!!

Is it possible that remorse is what drove Judas to hang himself? Judas’ remorse is why he threw the gold pieces to the side. But the act of betraying Jesus was a damning act in and of itself. Hence the warning of woe. Judas was already open to the Satan/Temptation when he was stealing money from the “collection plate”.
The Devil entered Judas while he was arguing with Jesus about the profit that could have been made with the expensive perfumed oil Mary poured on Jesus’ feet. At that point, Judas had decided to betray Jesus. Judas acted on the demonic urges of greed and envy at the Last Supper.

The time and manner of the apostle’s martyrdom are less certain. According to the early writers, he died at or about the same time with Paul, and in the Neronian persecution, A.D. 67,68. All agree that he was crucified. Origen says that Peter felt himself to be unworthy to be put to death in the same manner as his Master, and was therefore, at his own request, crucified with his head downward.”

Robbie I do think you are right, but I just always worried that Judas had to be the one that was in Gods plans to betray Jesus…(-3)…(he did repent when he saw that Jesus was condemned) and even carried the 30 pieces of silver back and threw the money in the temple)….I just wanted so much to believe that when Jesus assended into the lower parts of the earth and preached (after he was crucified) that maybe Judas (if he was there)…. Christ saw fit to take him back…This is just me………Myra
Reply📷john murrayDecember 18, 2013
Myra, this is what i wrote before i read your comment: Judas Iscariot was chosen for that purpose,”that Scripture would be fulfilled.” He died before he would experience the fullness of his journey with Christ; that is to see the resurrected Lord. His distruction was pre-ordained. Now are we referring to his physical destruction or spiritual distruction? His death before the Cross preclude his resurrection with the Church but does not preclude his resurrection as a Jew under the Abrahamic Covenant at some time after the Great Tribulation. Christ called him a devil, But Crist often referred to spirits of unholiness as devils or children of the devil, so Judas was no different.

He actually says he is of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew and a Pharisee. See Phillipians 3:5. At this point all the remaining peoples who were later scattered, are called “Jews.” That makes Paul a full blooded Jew.

How can you say that Mathew lived and wrotre the Gospel of Mathey
Wikipedia says as do many other sources
Mathew
The Gospel of Matthew was composed between 70 and 110, with most scholars preferring the period 80–90.[2] The anonymous author was probably a highly educated Jew, intimately familiar with the technical aspects of Jewish law, and the disciple Matthew was probably honored within his circle as the source of much of the tradition.[3] He drew on three main sources to compose his gospel: the Gospel of Mark; the hypothetical collection of sayings known as the Q source; and material unique to his own community,[4] all of which probably derived ultimately from earlier oral gospel traditions
Reply📷Margaret HunterJanuary 1, 2014
Not all Wikipedia articles make the assumptions you do. Please see the following
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Biblical_Studies/New_Testament_Commentaries/The_Gospel_of_Matthew/Introduction
And again
We assume this Gospel was written by Matthew. The bishop of Hierapolis, Papias, was quoted by the fourth century Church historian Eusebius, that the Logia (sayings of Jesus) preserved by Matthew was written in either Hebrew or Aramaic. Some believe this record of Jesus was originally written in Greek, and then translated into other languages. The date of this Gospel could be after A.D. 70, due to the destruction of Jerusalem (Hobbs 9). Hobbs writes, “…if one accepts the deity of Jesus Christ, there is no reason why it could not have been written prior to that time,” i.e., before A.D. 70 (9).[1]
In other words, if you believe Christ foretold the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD then you easily accept the fact that it was written before 70 AD. If not, then you don’t. This site assumes the truth of the divine and prophetic nature of Christ.

Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible
Verily I say unto you….. This is a strong asseveration, Christ puts his “Amen” to it; declaring it to be a certain truth, which may firmly be believed:
there be some standing here; meaning either his disciples, or some of the audience; for it is clear from that the people were called unto him with his disciples, when he said these words:
which shall not taste of death: that is, shall not die; a phrase frequently used by the Jewish doctors: they say (y),
“All the children of the world, , “taste the taste of death”.”
That is, die:
till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom; which is not to be understood of his personal coming in his kingdom in the last day, when he will judge quick and dead; for it cannot be thought, that any then present should live to that time, but all tasted of death long before, as they have done; for the story of John’s being alive, and to live till then, is fabulous, and grounded on a mistake which John himself has rectified at the close of his Gospel: nor of the glorious transfiguration of Christ, the account of which immediately follows; when he was seen by Peter, James, and John, persons now present; for that, at most, was but an emblem and a pledge of his future glory: rather, of the appearance of his kingdom, in greater glory and power, upon his resurrection from the dead, and his ascension to heaven; when the Spirit was poured down in an extraordinary manner, and the Gospel was preached all over the world; was confirmed by signs and wonders, and made effectual to the conversion and salvation of many souls; which many then present lived to see, and were concerned in: though it seems chiefly to have regard to his coming, to show his regal power and authority in the destruction of the Jews; when those his enemies that would not he should reign over them, were ordered to be brought and slain before him; and this the Apostle John, for one, lived to be a witness of.
(y) Zohar in Gen. fol. 27. 4. & 37. 1. & in Exod. fol. 19. 2. & in Num. fol. 50. 4. & 51. 2. 4. Vid. Bereshit Rabba, sect. 9. fol. 7. 3, 4. Midrash Kohelet, fol, 83. 2.

There is a lot in the Bible that man sometimes does not comprehend and in time it is refreshing to him for understanding. Believing that God loves all of us that he sent his son to us that we should believe and that his sacrifice is the atonement for man and thru grace we are saved. Now that we are under grace what than? I think there is a growing process somewhere and we are all babes in Christ. We have to be nourished and we have to grow with his understanding and to Love thy neighbor. Most of the apostles as you remember ran away and Judas that betrayed Jesus was prophsyed in the Bible. Now from what the Bible says, I will go along with the Bible teaching… Judas is not there for no reason at all, it is a learning process for us as well as to fulfill the proprsy of the Bible. I am sure Judas had a conscious of great guilt and gave up the ghost. One has to remember that the Bible is a teaching aid of the good and bad of man and thru Jesus’s death and resurrection we receive his grace and we as man don’t deserve his grace. Paul was one of the great apostles that came out of these Biblical events. The 12 disciples of the all sort of went there own way but believed more when Jesus had risen. The Bible is very life challenging and food for thought no doubt, just like doubting Thomas but if you make it simple it makes it more enlightening….. its a good thing we are to bear fruit to him and do the great commission and let him do the saving and converting of the heart of man. Man’s wisdom is not Gods’ wisdom and God is the answer and the final authority of all things.

If one repents of their sin and then chooses to end their life, they will still go to Heaven. Where in the Bible does it say that one cannot commit suicide? The argument of respecting your body as it is a temple of the Lord is referring to drugs, piercings, tattoos, alcohol, obesity…etc. not suicide. The argument of thou shall not murder is also not a legitimate argument as God has already forgiven us of all our sins when Jesus Christ died on the cross. Thus if Judas repented of his betrayal of Christ and chose to kill himself, he may still have gone to Heaven as all sins are forgiven. AND it is written that all sins are equal in the sight of the Lord, except blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Thus cheating on a math quiz is the equivalent of killing thy neighbor. Not that I am in favor of suicide, but it shares in equal weight of sin as anything else. And if one has Jesus Christ as their Rock and Foundation, is there anything life could throw at us that could make us want to end our life?
JUDAS MAY HAVE GONE TO HEAVEN. EVEN CAIN AND KING AHAB COULD HAVE REPENTED AND GONE TO HEAVEN.

I sincerely hope that you have been properly answered already considering that its been so long since you queried why you [we] sin
1. We are descendants of sinners and sin [the spiritual force] reigns in our bodies naturally -, &7
2. You have not yet been renewed by the transformed by the renewing of your mind - 2
This transformation is a function inherent in the word of God so we MUST always read it and meditate on it -Joshua 1v 7& 8 , v15
3. You [we] MUST abide in the will of God as expressed in His word so that we are truly good soil for His word. His word is the seed - v11 and those who have it in their souls CANNOT sin – 1st John 3v 5 to 9
4. I have made the premise that you have already confessed the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth as your Lord and Savior - 9 &10 plus believing in your heart that He indeed was born of a virgin, lived and preached God’s salvation through faith in His name, died and was buried in a tomb and that He rose from the dead.
If you understand this and make God’s word the standard for your life then a life free from sin is yours in Jesus mighty name. Yes temptations will still come but you will be knowing to say “It is written …” like the Lord Jesus did when tempted after His 40 day fasting
📷SBMay 25, 2017
We are born rebellious. But understand what sin is. Often Christians suffer beneath the illusion that they have sinned when in fact they have done no such thing. The very best thing to do is to walk and talk with Jesus constantly–pray without ceasing. Then we know where we stand with his righteousness. Jesus bless you abundantly! Remain in the hope of your eternal life!
📷Jo BadenhorstDecember 25, 2016
Yes, I certainly agree! It is not about how we die but whether we accepted Jesus in life. The ONLY requirement is our belief in Jesus and His grace. Only God fully knows the depths of despair any human has the potential to experience – more so His beloved children. Some actually longs to be free from emotional pain to BE WITH THE LORD.

Reply📷Soldier OfYHVHJuly 14, 2017
But the preaching work is coming to its conclusion. This is quite obvious in the fact that we can no longer speak about YHVH or Jesus without ridicule and persecution. Loud, hypocritical, boastful, and self-righteous Christians are to blame for this unpopularity. Jesus is here which means the time for preaching is coming to its end.
There are two types of Christians: sheep and fish. Sheep are religious and fish are spiritual. The Pharisees were religious hypocrites and Jesus was a/the spiritual master.
I think the most important thing to remember is –and to live by faith; remembering to forgive those who trespass against us, as Christ has forgiven our trespasses. In my 50 years of Bible study–I have discovered that forgiveness is not for the person who wronged you–but is actually for the person doing the forgiving. Praying for those who have hurt you, caused you pain releases the anger, frustration, and dissatisfaction one feels toward that person. In it’s place is peace of mind–and the ability to experience the grace, and love of Jesus Christ. Such matters as whether Judas will be in heaven or not–will of be no consequence to us. The Bible teaches that God does not enjoy punishing the wicked; rather He would be willing to see all people be saved. This is why Christ came into the world in the first place, to save, not to judge. As for the question of heaven and hell–the Bible makes it clear that when Christ returns, He will, at that time separate the wheat from the chaff; the sheep from the goats; He will return with fire, and men will cry out in fear–while others will be joyous–as He will return with reward for those who believe in Him. Therefore in my studies, the original Greek/Aramaic meaning of the dialect Christ spoke–” hell” was not a noun as we think of in the Western world–but rather a verb. When Christ said–there will be gnashing of teeth–etc. and you don’t want to go to hell–He meant it as an event. Kind of like attending a concert. It will be a one time event. This makes more sense–as in Revelations it says: death, hell, false prophet, Satan–will all be tossed into the Lake of Fire–and consumed. While the lake of fire might burn forever–garbage does not burn forever–neither will people left here at Jesus’s second coming. Satan will be trapped here in an abyss for 1000 years with the ashes of what used to be planet earth–and all the remains of those who refused to believe in Christ Jesus. After the 1000 years, Christ will bring His New Kingdom, Jerusalem to the earth–with those of us who were alive and believer’s who were dead in our graves that were raised to heaven during that time period. All of us will reside in this new city. At this –3rd coming of Christ–the dead who did not believe in Christ–will rise–this is the time of Great and final judgment. Satan will wish to make war with the New Jerusalem–he will not be able to do that; yet Christ will give each person one more time to repent–change sides. However, the Bible says–they will not–and using Greek translation–God will use “strange fire” to then destroy or consume those who do not want to be part of His Kingdom. We in the New city will NOT be allowed to look on. Only the Angels will witness this act. Then the new heavens and new earth will be created–and we will get to see how the earth was and animals were –when God originally made the earth and the Garden of Eden. Sorry for the long email–but after scrolling through and reading everyone’s comments–God just put this into my heart to write this. God bless all of you. I am praying for each of you tonight. May God open your eyes to see, open your hears to hear, and may His Holy Spirit fill you with all the good gifts He has to offer, to use for the furthering of His Kingdom. I look forward to the day when we all gather in front of Him, to worship Him, together! Praise the Lord, and Happy Sabbath to you all.

what is hell and what is grave? Jesus the son of God died and went to hell and after three days he resurrected and went to heaven. can some one help me by demonstrating the meaning of this two words(GRAVE and HELL).
es, when i sit down to imagine where the catholic brethren got their believes (Dogma) from and single handedly refused to change their mind on this issues of mary being made a goddess and worship with enthusiasms.
Mary’s calling and mission on earth just like any other preacher of the gospel on earth was just to bore the burden of a mother to the messiah that came and took on the nature of flesh, just to operate here on earth. She was/is not to be worship as part of the Godhead bodily brethren. What a blasphemy, thank God that the grave of Moses was hiddened if not, Moses would have been made deity to many believers today.
Woe is he/she who add to any thing written in this book, by so doing , it shall be added to him/her to damnation that shall befall the earth, neither should any man reduce any thing from this book of law, for it shall be remove of their blessing that is set for them in eternity.Who are you to add to the Godhead bodily?
Jesus did die and was laid in a tomb (we comonly use graves) and that represents the death of the physical body. But He did not go to hell, He said Himself to one of the thieves He was crucified with “Today thou shalt be with me in Paradise”. On the third day, as a resurrected being, He appeared to Mary and said “Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father”. He hadn’t gone to heaven yet.
So there is an interim place for spirits, between death (and the grave) and resurrection. The scriptures call it Paradise and also refer to it as Spirit Prison and what it is to one depends on how they lived and their attitude and/or repentance. Then comes the resurrection and judgement and consignment to heaven or hell.
Hell is commonly misconstrued as a place of endless torment and frequently represented as physically burning but not being consumed. That maybe a good representation for our temporal minds to understand but think of it. With a resurrected body that is impervious to death and pain, that has no meaning. But the anguish of being separated from God, and knowing that one could have lived with God, have been given more and been more throughout eternity, except for the way one lived for a short life here on earth… now that will be hell.
And heaven is just not one place, but we will all be rewarded according to how we have lived, and how we have changed ourselves. God has told us how to do it and what we need to do and become. But we use our agency to accept it and learn and do, or reject it, or somewhere in between. Tell me, do you want to be a partially good person though eternity?

It still baffles me to stupor at all times, when i sit down to imagine where the catholic brethren got their believes (Dogma) from and single handedly refused to change their mind on this issues of mary being made a goddess and worship with enthusiasms.
Mary’s calling and mission on earth just like any other preacher of the gospel on earth was just to bore the burden of a mother to the messiah that came and took on the nature of flesh, just to operate here on earth. She was/is not to be worship as part of the Godhead bodily brethren. What a blasphemy, thank God that the grave of Moses was hiddened if not, Moses would have been made deity to many believers today.
Woe is he/she who add to any thing written in this book, by so doing , it shall be added to him/her to damnation that shall befall the earth, neither should any man reduce any thing from this book of law, for it shall be remove of their blessing that is set for them in eternity.Who are you to add to the Godhead bodily?
There is a group of bible readers in Kabale who on every Thursday evening sit at White Horse Inn Kabale to scrutinize the bible. This group comprises people from all faiths but mainly from Anglican and Catholic faith. They read the bible text comparison with what is taught believers every Sunday in Churches. Their findings are amazing. Most the things that priests who the product of theological schools teach on Sundays are stuff whose source in not in the Bible.
This group calls it self “BACK TO THE BIBLE BASICS”.
I think if we all took this approach we would understand the bible better, otherwise the priests are feeding us on dogmas that not biblical.

Its very clear after the birth of the Messiah Mary the mother of Jesus Christ got earthly siblings with Joseph the Carpenter

Jesus’s mother remarried after Joseph’s death. Joseph of Arimathea was the man whom she married. the Disciple John lived the longest of them all. Technically…Jesus was a Roman citizen and that’s why he had to be tried by the Romans. Tiberius had Pilate executed because of killing Jesus. Tiberius was fascinated by Jesus and wanted to meet him and receive a royal healing. The Roman senate brought to the floor of making Jesus a god. To this day Jews are still persecuted and will continue to suffer because they deny that Jesus is the Messiah. 423 scriptures were fulfilled by Jesus….the odds of just doing 10 are a billion to one.

Our insecurities can begin to disappear - V. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed - Paul wasn’t insecure, He didn’t have to be the one in the spot light, He says “look wether I preach or someone else preaches, as long as their their believing, thats a win in my book

Now the big issue with the corinthian believers is not that they didn’t believe that Jesus had risen from the dead, they simply didn’t believe that their bodies would be risen - They had bought into the thinking of some of the athenian phosphors of the time, and even the sadducees (didn’t believe in the angels or resurrection)…

The bottom line is that the Corinthian Christians believed we lived forever, but not in resurrected bodies…and there are many evangelical schoolers who believe that as well…essentially calming down the divine part of Jesus’ life and ministry
12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.
15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.
16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised.
17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.
18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.
So Paul says without the “resurrection” all is lost (V.13-19) Paul says to the corinthians…“No resurrection means”

We are misrepresenting God - It means to bear false witness, It’s bad enough to bear false witness about a person, But the God of the universe is a whole different matter

And to lose all that…would make us the most pitiful of all - This is why It’s most important, why he went to great lengths to verify it because without it. Jesus is not sovereign, and He can’t save us
And to lose all that…would make us the most pitiful of all
Here’s the point: To take christianity and remove the super natural portion of the resurrection…makes this whole thing a really said hobby...
This is why It’s most important, why he went to great lengths to verify it because without it. Jesus is not sovereign, and He can’t save us
But thats not the case as Paul says...
20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.
24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power.
1 cor 15:
A couple of things about Jesus here...
Jesus’ resurrection is called the “first fruits” of our future resurrection: What does that mean? Well in God calls his people to bring a single bunch of grain as an offering to Him, this bunch of grain would represent the entire harvest. and in that same way, Jesus’ resurrection was a representation of our future resurrection Bodies
Jesus is the second Adam: 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive: Paul’s mentioned this before in ..He’s saying the same way all humanity came under the course of the fall through Adam, all can now know the freedom and grace of the resurrected life through Jesus

Here’s the point - The thread that is woven though all that christians rest upon - Jesus’ divinity, sovereignty, Our eternity, and freedom form sin…can be trusted because of the resurrection

24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power.
25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
27 For “God has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him.
28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.
1 cor 15:24-We live in such a broken and fallen world that sometimes it fells like things will never change, the wicked get rich, the righteous get persecuted and the dance goes on and on. and it can syphon away our hope and Joy…to the point we’re happiness and positivity are almost uncool and unrealistic, because it seems immature and short sighted…we says things like “They person is so happy all the time that they’ve lost their grip of reality!!!”

But here’s the twist. The bible tells us clearly that when the end comes…Jesus reigns and Goodness wins the day
Every knee will bow to Jesus: For now, God has granted a measure of rule and authority and power to men, to Satan, and even to death. But all that is temporary. Jesus will take His rightful place as the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords (). After the resurrection, God will finally resolve all of history according to His will.

Death will be destroyed: If you’ve ever lost someone you love, you know too well the pain and oppression that death brings with it…But In raising Christ from the dead God has set in motion a chain of events that must culminate In man’s greatest enemy being vanquished forever

Here’s the point - The resurrection is the churches reminder that God is in control no matter the circumstance - no matter the trouble - no matter whats happening in the world…and at the end of time everything leads to all bowing before Him

We will be different from how we are now
35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?”
36 You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.
38 But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.
1 cor 15:35-38
When we think about of life, we usually think it ends when your in the ground - Not for the believer
When we think about of life, we usually think it ends when your in the ground - Not for the believer
Paul says our bodies are like “seeds” which “grow” into resurrection bodies. When you bury the body of a believer, you are “sowing” a “seed” that will come out of the earth as a resurrection body
When you plant a wheat seed, a big wheat seed does not come up. Instead, a stalk of wheat grows. So, even though our resurrection bodies come from our present bodies we are made much better versions of ourselves - Think Chameleon - Charzard
1 cor 15:39
We’re different from all other forms of life
39 For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.
40 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
Paul is simply reiterating what we see in the creation account - That God is the creator of all things - animals - planets - humanity
That’s really important to understand -
but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another v.40 - This word glory means Nature - In other words, when we are raised by Christ and given out new heavenly bodies, they will be altogether different from this earthly body we have now - Custom Made to function in heaven
but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another v.40 - This word glory means Nature - In other words, when we are raised by Christ and given out new heavenly bodies, they will be altogether different from this earthly body we have now - Custom Made to function in heaven
Will animals rise again? - “Made according to it’s kind” I don't see hard proof in scripture - The Vet seems to think so Snowball
but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another - This word glory means Nature - In other words, when we are raised by Christ and given out new heavenly bodies, they will be altogether different from this earthly body we have now - Custom Made to function in heaven
let’s jump down to v.50 to get the jest of all of it
53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55 “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 cor 15:53-
Have you been made to drink something you hated? - Kids and medicine
Have you been made to drink something you hated? - Kids and medicine
Jesus in the garden had before him the foulest of all medicine - The Cup of God’s wrath - Did he want it? no - Did he drink it? Yes
And because Jesus willing drank the wrath of God poured out upon sin…In his crucifixion and resurrection He also swallowed up the power of death
