Hello c marengo, If death has been destroyed on the cross, Christians would not die. The context of the verse is something still future. It's at that time the final enemy is destroyed. Steve |

Hi, Steve..we are so locked into the physical aspect of life. Paul said absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. How is that death? | ||||||
3 | antichrist | Luke 10:27 | srbaegon | 125046 | ||
Hello c marengo, We are locked into the physical because that's the context of 1 Cor 15--resurrection of the body. It's death in that we are separated from our bodies albeit only for a time. Steve |

Steve, think about this...when stephen was stoned, right in the midst of that persecution the Bible describes his dieing as "sleep". Paul uses this same reference idea in some of his writings. Why would it be described as sleep. Think about...what happens in the natural when we fall asleep, we always wake up...what I see in this concept is that death, ie sleep is just a different state of life...I sleep, I wake up...I die, I live...to live is Christ, to die is gain. It is appointed to man, once to die...as a believer we only truly die once, that is when we reckon ourselves dead to sin and alive in Christ. I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I but Christ lives in me and the life that I now live is by faith in the son of God who loved and gave himself up for me. We are already dead..yet we live..but not our lives..His life in us..ergo the name Christian (little christ, christ like).. c marengo |

Hello c marengo, Let's clear up some terms. When I speak of death, it is the separation of the physical from the nonphysical. That's how the term is used in 1 Cor 15, which calls death an enemy. You seem to be blending physical death with death to self. You state that we only truly die once. That's true for death to self, but physical death still awaits the Christian, and it's still an enemy despite your philosophizing. Steve |

Steve, hey I'm cool with that...I guess my thing on a personal level is that death just really doesn't scare me...now don't get me wrong...I do not care to be dead tomorrow. c marengo |
