"God is a Spirit"
John 4:24
"... Israel is My son; even My first-born:"
Exod. 4:22
If God is a Spirit, His children must be of the Spirit; not a physical race of people who are centralized in one place in the world. God told us He would strike the Shepherd (Jesus) and the sheep would be scattered. The Israel/Children of God are among every race and in every corner of the world.
"... They which are the children of THE FLESH, these are NOT THE CHILDREN OF GOD: ..."
Rom. 9:8
The Children of the Spirit are of God; THEY are the True Israel.
The Day of the Lord in Joel is the same as in Isaiah 13:9-11 & Matt. 24:29-31. It is the Wrath of God, final day judgment. Jesus returns on the very last day of the world which eliminates the possibility of a Millennium period BEFORE these things take place.
Jesus tells us in John 6:39, 40, 44, 54; John 11:24 & John 12:48 that He is coming on the Last Day of the world. That is the SAME DAY that the Wrath of God takes place. That's why it is called the Lord's (Jesus') Day.
These verses coincide perfectly with the Matt. and Isaiah verses above.
"A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, ..."
Joel 2:2
"The earth shall quake ... the heavens shall tremble: the sun and moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: And the Lord shall utter His voice before His army: for the Day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?"
Joel 2:10-11
"...let the Bridegroom go forth of His chamber, and the bride out of her closet. (this is Jesus returning for His saints on the same day as the Wrath of God/Day of the Lord - coincides perfectly with Matt. 24:29-31)
"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible Day of the Lord come."
Joel 2:31
There is no place for 1,000 yrs between Jesus' return and the Wrath of God. It does not fit.

He is our Lord and our God
( John 20:28) He is the Resurrection and the Life ( John 11:25) He is the brightness of God's glory and the express image of God's Person ( Hebrews 1:3) he is worshipped by all the angels
( Hebrews 1:6) He is our Great God and Savior ( Titus 2:13-14) He is King of kings and Lord Of lords ( Rev. 19:16)
And so much more. Therefore should we not have great interest and earnest desire to read of His life, words and actions from the Gospels often?
For me, I love all sections of the Bible, but lovebtheGspels the most. It is here in the Gospels that I intake the truth of my Savior and become familiar with Him as the One I worship, adore, follow, serve, and hold out to others to come to know by faith.
It is Jesus that we should know the most about. We should be thoroughly familiar with His life in the Gospels so that we can better understand the teachings about Hom in the Epistles, Revelation, and OT. This is why I always suggest that people wishing to know the Bible better begin with the Gospels.
You mention 1 Corinthians 15:54-55. This whole chapter is on the resurrection. Those verses mentioned are saying when we are raised from the dead to immortal beings death will no long affect us. The bible describes those that die in Christ as being asleep. Consider Lazarus. When he died our Lord described him (Lazarus) as being asleep. When his disciples miss understood him he told them that Lazarus was dead. John 11:11-14 Those that die in Christ will be brought back to life to die no more. So even if they die it is like sleep because they will be raised from the dead. There is an order. Jesus is the first fruits and the rest at his coming. 1 Corinthians 15:20-23
We all die because of Adam. We have his nature. We all sin. The wages of sin is death.
Death will happen to all of us until the Lord returns to this earth.
The death of the child to King David happened because it would have been a constant reminder of David's sin with Bathsheba. David should have died for his two sins. Adultery and murder. God forgave him. He didn't die but the child did. God knows the end from the beginning. If the child would have grown up to be a righteous person I'm sure God
wouldn't have let the child die. We are given free will. Let us be careful on how we use our free will.
Thanks
exception to that was a our Lord and Saviour who gave Himself at the appointed time. Aaron did not stand up
to Israels unbelief or weaknesses but neither did Moses a few times. It reminds me of when Jesus Christ raised
Lazarus from the Dead in John 11:42 where Jesus said I know that thou always hearest me always but because of
the people which stand by I said it that they might[no guarantee] believe that thou hast sent me. Moses and Aaron
like Jesus Christ were always going against unbelief but stayed faithful to their calling.
John 12:1,12,13, John 13:1-2,
Matthew 27:15,
1st Sabbath being the Passover feast.
Exodus 12,
2nd Sabbath Matthew 28:1,
Psalms 81:3, also significant Mark 15:33, total solar Eclipse, New moon?
We should be careful not to follow after traditions set up by men, but Study to understand. Colossians 2:8, Matthew 15:3, Mark 7:9
Why would Jesus rebuke them over tradition? Because even today it causes doubt, & confusion amongst the church.
Hopefully these scriptures are helpful. GOD's WORD is truth.
Tradition is not 100% reliable.
If you are in the First RESURRECTION you will NEVER see death, death has been destroyed.

John 8:51 .....if a man keep my sayings, he shall never see death.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and Holy is he that hath part in the FIRST RESURRECTION....and shall reign with Christ a thousand years.
John 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
Allready before the Lord have being in the dark places of earth He raised up Lasarus. Be comforted in His Holy Name. Now we know what to expect. In love for Jesus love u in Christ. Amen

Hopefully you enjoy this study.
Acts 1:25
That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
Some years ago ill have a sight of my grandparent's they stood behind each other like i remember them. In a light who is not on this earth. In a place who Jesus have made for them, ill see columns in a tempel and them! After that i was soo grateful too the Lord Jesus who is the only King!
John 14:2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
It is soo many ppl i know who have gone too they're own places. The places that Jesus have made for them. He may already have done a place ready-made for me as well.
Some other time ill look my stepfather waving energetically too me after one hour when he died. And he belived in Jesus. If he understand the meaning of Christ i dont know. But it is not for me to know.
Am glad if all ppl i meet tell me that they belive in Jesus.
John 11:26
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Its many more words in Holy Scripture of this. Read and understand inspired by the Holy Spirit ill pray.
If we belive in Jesus We dont die anymore. Here's a big question! Do Jesus have a place for all them who have past away? Noo matter what_ And are all died ppl in one of the heavens who is described in this examles. I'll belive soo, evan Judas Iskariot could go too his place.
It is good to understand this: That God is in charge of this. Soo i belive strongly that we meet again some day. And i will know whom from whom by the spirit they had in life.
God bless us all in Jesus Name by the Holy Spirit. Love u all in Christ
Lets put this verse in context.
In the previous verses the Lord is speaking of false teachers and how to identify them. -
Matthew 7:15-21. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
In verse 22 he gives the contrast of the deceptive vain works of those mentioned.
If you noticed the Lord never challenged them in their proclaimed works
The Emphasis is being deceived!
He said I NEVER knew you.
You see in the scripture unbelievers prophesying.
EXAMPLE: John 11:49-51. And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
This group in verse 22 was NEVER saved!
Jesus says I NEVER new you.
It's not what you know, It's who you know and who knows you!
John 10:26-28. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
( MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, and they follow me:)
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
Your fruit reflects what has been changed on the inside.
God bless.
Man translated the bible, man has beliefs of his own; often, using the word being translated to fit His belief.
Why did the translators translate the Greek word hades (sheol in Hebrew) half the time GRAVE and half the time HELL, when the same word is being translated.
Revelation 1:18 ....I (Christ) have the keys of hell (HADES) and death.
1 Corinthians 15:55 ... O grave (HADES), where is thy victory.
The same Greek word translated two ways.
The translators couldn't translate hades as hell in 1 Corinthians 15:55 because Christ has victory over hell (hades).
Christ has VICTORY over DEATH and THE GRAVE, keys (VICTORY) of the GRAVE (mistranslated hell) and DEATH.
These keys and this victory is Christ RESURRECTION.
John 11:25 .... I am the resurrection ...... Keys (victory) of DEATH and the GRAVE
The same translators translated the Greek word aion to mean eternally or everlasting or for ever and ever, when it aion should have been translated AGE.
Revelation 11:15 ....and he shall reign forever and ever...should be translated, he shall reign for the AGE of the AGES.
We know this is correct because 1 Corinthians 15:24 says when he has subdued all thing to himself he will turn the kingdom back to the Father, so he has to reign for the AGE OF AGES and not for ever and ever.
In Acts 3:16, The faith which is from (Or BY HIM)." "to onoma autou kai hee pistis hee di autou. If this verse were to read "Faith IN Jesus" rather than "Faith BY Him," the only way to translate this is, "OUR faith in Jesus Christ," healed the man!
Galatians 2:20 reads in the Greek, "Ho de nun zoo en sarki en pistei zoo tee tou Huiou tou Theou." Translators have often used their own theology which can drastically change the true intent of the inspired writers of Scriptur. For instance, look up the Greek for "torment" in Rev 20:10. The English robs God of His mercy and goodness in this last act with the lost. What word do you find in the Greek? Have you traced it? Let me know what you find. You will be amazed at the wealth of meaning the translators took from us!
I have experienced a profound faith from Christ. Only He could say, at the tomb of Lazarus, John 11:42, of the Father, "I know You always hear Me." My faith has grown to know our Father always hears me if He hears it from the Son!
He is called our Advocate in 1 John 2:1. He defends us before the Father as High Priest, who offers His own life and merits on the sinner's behalf. Heaven has given us the gift of faith, Ephesians 2:8-9, to know, believe and trust ourselves to the High Priest. This is the only way to the Father that pleases Him. We dare not come to Him in our faith. Otherwise, we are entering the Most Holy Place in our own name and dishonor His Holiness. Death waited for anyone who came into the Holy Place except for the High Priest. It is the devils lie telling us we can become as gods!
Leviticus 16 has also given me further insight into what was required by the nation of Israel as they worshipped God on the Day of Atonement. On who did they place their faith?

Chris, my understanding has given me a freedom of absolute surrender to Christ I never experienced. It certainly does not distract my belief in the gospel. I no longer look at my faith to speak to the Father. I now speak to Him through the faith of Jesus. I never have to say again, "I wish I had stronger faith." I do have it! It is my faith in His faith for me!
Appreciate your kind comments on my last post.
To begin, my comment concerning the number of resurrections from death by Christ must have not been clear to you. I know of only 3 recorded resurrections performed by Christ: Lazarus, John 11:1-44; the widow's son, Luke 7:11-17; and Jairus's daughter, Luke 8:40-56 I then expressed my opinion there were most likely more that were not recorded. I see Christ as a compassionate savior, and personally, believe more miracles were performed than are recorded in today's Bible.
My conviction the story of Lazarus the beggar is a parable is based on the Hebrew meaning of the name Lazarus meaning "God has helped". Christ was speaking to an audience of disciples originally and some Pharisees later joined the group, verse 14, and began to deride Christ. Christ then speaks to the Pharisees as to their violations of the Law and the parable of Lazarus.
The parable of Lazarus serves a twofold purpose. First it serves to emphasize the responsibility of those more fortunate to aid the less fortunate. Second, it foretales the rejection of Christ by the Jews, even after the resurrection. The first purpose most likely fell on deaf ears as the Pharisees because of their self-righteousness. The second was not realized and accepted by even the remaining 11 disciples initially.
Reference to the place of the spirit after death until the gathering of the church by Christ is referenced after the resurrection by Paul, in many places in scripture. Paul refers to the "holding place: as sleep.
Now, where did the souls John sees in Revelation come from and at what point did they arrive in heaven. Revelation 3:10 is easily interperted as the rapture before tribulation. Revelation 7:9-17 surely is post-rapture by content.
My point - the spirit of the vast majority of Christians do not enter heaven prior to the rapture. Enoch, perhaps. Elijiah definitely ( 2 Kings 2:11).
Thank you, my brother in Christ
1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is THE SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN, specially those that BELIEVE.
1 Timothy 4:11 These things (God is saviour of all men) COMMAND AND TEACH.
I know you believe God is going to FAIL. You believe, it's up to man. That belief (it's up to you) should bring your own salvation into question.
Chris,
I am not catholic! However, what I was referring too is that these books are not listed in the bible (66 books). It was originally in the old KJV bible 1610, but was removed. I do not believe in purgatory and praying for the dead.

Messenger Replies:
Please read Acts 24:15 We can pray to God ( Psalm 83:18) for his kingdom to come ( Matthew 6:9,10).
Why? because we can pray that he resurrect our loved ones who have died (the ones we love so dearly)
John 5:28,29
Job 14:14,15
John 11:25
It's written: Your Way, oh God is at thr sanctuary, Jesus is the sacrifice, because he took upon him the penalty of the transgression of the law of the ten commandements, becaming our substitute, nevertheless, the inocente lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world!
According to Tessaloniens, Paul the apostle of the gentils, enlightened the church of the living God Allmighty, about the condition of men facing death, sayng that after the first death all men will ressurect, ones for life and others for the second and eternal death, with satal and his angels! To Gob be the Glory, because He is mercifull, forgiving, longsuffering patient, and waits for me and you. Today we still can, with a simple act of faith, accept the power of Jesus's blood, while we are on the way and alive, because God is God of the living! After death, awaits us the jugment. Today, if you listen the voice of God (Jesus through the Holy Spirit) don't harden your hearts!
There is no salvation after death! This is devil's lie, like Eve, whosoever beleeves it, wil die the second death, the sin beeing that the Light came into the world, but men prefered darkness! Jesus said whosoever beleeves in Me wil not die ( the eternal and defenitive one).
to answer your question Ronald:
according to acts 2 when they were speaking in tongues,
both man and woman were present.
Noticed what the prophet Joel prophesied.
Acts 2:16-18
all people can teach what they have learned from the bible.
but as far as authority. Adam was created first then eve was created as a
helper for Adam to take care of the earth- Genesis 2:18
what about "within" the congregation?
Ephesians 5:22-24; Titus 2:3-5
1 Timothy 3 within the Christian congregation or church...appointed ministers takes the lead in teaching the congregation or church. when a woman learn in silence 1Timothy 2:11, 12
within the congregation, this helps keep the congregation orderly. so in this instance. A woman doesn't have authority over a men within the congregation to teach nor over her husbands at home. however, husbands love their wives and listens to their concerns just as Jehovah ( Psalm 83:18) taught Abraham Gen. 21:8-12. Even Jesus; when he was at a house or on the roads he listened and asked woman questions. woman like Martha, Mary Magdalene, the Samaritan woman. he taught them and spoke to them with kindness. John 11:27; Luke 10:38-42.
if a woman sees something or has a question
...she can ask her husband at home.
1Corinthians 14:33-35
Hope this Helps. the bible is a light and shines for all to see.

An unsaved person told me yesterday he was told "there is nothing like rapture" Is it true?
You are replying to a comment by "Victor Anyanwu"
Hello Victor,
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17
verse 16: these Dead in Christ shall rise first. for example:
1. ( John 11:11) Lazarus he died again
2. ( Acts 7:55,59, 60) Stephen after saying this, he fell asleep in death. (the vision he saw was in heaven)
3. ( 1 Corinthians 15:6) 500 seen Jesus appear after his death. but some of
them died.
4. Some of Jesus apostles died of old age, most died under roman oppression (by the "ad." "c.e." Jews)
(they were put in prison like Paul as you brought out in Philippians 1), some died in captivity.
Verse 17: Those alive or remain will like Jesus will go to heaven.
( Revelation 14:3/ 144,000). notice the first died. if the second is to be caught up together with them.
they will have to die from flesh...to be taken from earth. ( Acts 1:9,10; Revelation 20)
so no... rapture is not a word in the bible. when Jesus was impaled the scripture said
after that his spirit ( Matthew 27:50 invisible/ john 4:24) yielded up. no human can see the spirit.
( Jas. 2:26)
Hopefully this helps
Hello Victor,
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
1 Corinthians 15:6
Matthew 27:52
John 11:11-14
KJV: "Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me."
Others: "So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me."
The other translations have omitted the phrase, "from the place where the dead was laid" as it's not found in the older manuscripts. However, the KJV is translated from the 'Received Text', which is the most reliable throughout the manuscript. In any case, if this was the verse you were thinking of, then the omission, though noteworthy, does not alter the sense of the passage, as 'the stone' was clearly the one sealing Lazarus' cave/sepulchre & no one else's.
If you mind I would like to add to the ruckus. lol.
Just to answer your question directly we don't worry about the soul.
We're concerned about the Spirit.
I don't believe they're the same.
"If I'm not mistaking" I believe your soul is connected to this earthly body. It wars against our Spirit,
Our Spirit will be connected with our Spiritual body where there will be no more Sin.
Psalms 16:9-10. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Brother Jesse or Brother Chris can check me on that, I do value their opinion.
As well as others.
Our natural birth we was born "Children of Adam. a living soul but spiritually dead! Our motions in our members was one with the Law " Ministration of condemnation " When we were born again "Born from above" We died in Adam and was born of the second Adam. "Christ" "A quickening spirit"
REFERENCE VERSES:
1 Corinthians 15:45-47.
2 Corinthians 3:6-10.
Romans 7:4-11.
We are hidden in Christ and that will never change, Your body goes in the ground, your spirit is with the Lord," He in you and you in Him.
Romans 6:3-5.
Colossians 3:3-4. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
1 Thessalonians 4:14. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, EVEN SO THEM ALSO WHICH SLEEP IN JESUS WILL GOD BRING WITH HIM.
The body SLEEP in th ground and is raised a spirit body! and the spirit goes to Jesus. " How else could he bring it with him?"
John 14:19-20.
John 11:26. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
I hope that helps, If not you're probably confused times 10.
God bless.
