1 | Where was Lazarus for 4 days? | John 11:11 | kalos | 57670 | ||
Daniel: Thank you for sharing your beliefs with us. You have done so with clarity and respect, as I also respect you. Thank you also for listening patiently to my understanding of this subject. This has been pleasant. Grace to you, kalos ************* 'Man's Spirit has: 'INTELLIGENCE (1 Corinthians 2:11) '"For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God." 'EMOTIONS (John 11:33) '"When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her, also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled." 'The Soul and the Spirit are Separated from the Body at Death 'Luke 8:54-55 ". . . he, however, took her by the hand and called, saying, 'Child arise!' And her spirit returned, and she rose immediately; and He gave orders for something to be given her to eat." 'Matthew 10:28 "And do not fear those who kill the body, but are unable to kill the soul but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both the soul and the body in hell." 'James 2:26 "For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead." '1 Kings 17:21,22 "Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and called to the Lord, and said, 'O Lord my God, I pray to Thee, let this child's life return to him.' And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah, and the life of the child returned to him and he revived." 'The term "death" which is "thanatas" in Greek, does not mean to be non-existent or unconscious, it rather means to be separated. Some examples: 'Colossians 2:13 "And when you were dead (separated from God—not "unconscious") in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh . . . " 'Ecclesiastes 9:5 "For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten." 'The context of this verse is "under the sun." It is saying that the dead do not know anything that is going on "under the sun"(on earth) vss. 3, 6—after they die and are in Heaven. (Eccl. 12:7) 'See also Ephesians 2:1 and Revelation 3:1 'These scriptures clearly teach that the soul and spirit are more than breath. People's souls and spirits are separated from their bodies when they die. The soul is conscious in Heaven after death, awaiting the resurrection of the body' (http://www.sdaoutreach.org/dead.html). This concludes the explanation of why I believe as I do. Thank you. |

2 | Where was Lazarus for 4 days? | John 11:11 | Ray | 57681 | ||
Hi Kalos, These things that you are considering are very interesting. I just wanted to say that for the John 11:33 reference, I have agreed in the past with the l963 NASB where it read "troubled Himself". That would be a literal Greek reading, but one that allows for a spirit that can be moved or troubled; and also allows for the Person to be involved. John 11:33, "When Jesus/ therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her, also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit, and troubled Himself." John 13:21, "When Jesus/ had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me." I don't know if that will relate to your discussion or not, but I wanted to add that here. From the heart, Ray |
