1 | Where does the spirt dwell | NT general Archive 1 | Emmaus | 71430 | ||
tdianne, Yes the spirit remains alive after the death of the flesh. There are two judgements: the particular judgement of each person immediately after death and the final judgement at Christ's return. Immediately after death everyone is either delivered to eternal life or immediate and everlasting damnation. See 2Tim 1:9-10; Luke 16:22; 23:43; Matt 16:26; 2 Cor 5:8; Philipians 1:23; Hebrews 9:27; 12:23 Emmaus |

Where in any of these scriptures does it specifically state the spirit remains alive after the physical death? For what purpose would it stay alive? If we were delivered to eternal life or punishment at the time of death why would there be a need for Christ to return or the reserrection? 1Thes. 4:13- But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethern, about those ho are asleep(died) that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope.14 For if we beieve that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep (died) in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede (go before) those who have fallen asleep (died).16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangle, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Chist shall rise first. 17 Then we that are alive and remain shall be causght up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus shall always be with the Lord. 18 Comfort one another with these words. |

rferg, Are you saying that spirits (souls)can die? Or are tou saying that they sleep? Spirits can not die except in the sense that they are dead to the life of God that we call grace; e.g. fallen angels. Spirits in their essence are immortal. But if the previous citations are too implicit and not explicit enough, please explain where Enoch and Elijah are and if they are still alive after God carried them off to be witth Him. And do the spirits of the saints in heaven in the book of Revelation 5, 6 and 7 seem to be dead or asleep? And how about that cloud of witnesses in Hebrews 11? Is our God the God of the dead or the living? Matt 22:23 and Matt 17:3. Were Moses and Elijah dead or asleep at the Transfiguration or were they alive and conscious? Emmaus |

Greetings Emmaus, I was asking a question. You didn't answer it. The questions you asked me are way over my head. But you did reffer to the spirit as the (soul). I was under the understanding that we are a three part being, body, soul and spirit. The soul is the mind, will and emotions. I believe they do die when the physical body dies. That's are personality and we die it dies. Sorry this is where I am on this subject. |

rferg, Sorry. My answer to your question was that the verses originally cited a may not be expicit about the life of the spirit, but they do imply or are implicit about the life of the spitit after death. The questions I asked are directly relevant to the question you asked. Your questionn about body, soul and spirit is a good, relevant and reasonable question. Here is what I belive about that. "II. "BODY AND SOUL BUT TRULY ONE" 362 The human person, created in the image of God, is a being at once corporeal and spiritual. The biblical account expresses this reality in symbolic language when it affirms that "then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being."[229] Man, whole and entire, is therefore willed by God. 363 In Sacred Scripture the term "soul" often refers to human life or the entire human person.[230] But "soul" also refers to the innermost aspect of man, that which is of greatest value in him,[231] that by which he is most especially in God's image: "soul" signifies the spiritual principle in man. 364 The human body shares in the dignity of "the image of God": it is a human body precisely because it is animated by a spiritual soul, and it is the whole human person that is intended to become, in the body of Christ, a temple of the Spirit:[232] Man, though made of body and soul, is a unity. Through his very bodily condition he sums up in himself the elements of the material world. Through him they are thus brought to their highest perfection and can raise their voice in praise freely given to the Creator. For this reason man may not despise his bodily life. Rather he is obliged to regard his body as good and to hold it in honour since God has created it and will raise it up on the last day.[233] 365 The unity of soul and body is so profound that one has to consider the soul to be the "form" of the body:[234] i.e., it is because of its spiritual soul that the body made of matter becomes a living, human body; spirit and matter, in man, are not two natures united, but rather their union forms a single nature. 366 The Church teaches that every spiritual soul is created immediately by God - it is not "produced" by the parents - and also that it is immortal: it does not perish when it separates from the body at death, and it will be reunited with the body at the final Resurrection.[235] 367 Sometimes the soul is distinguished from the spirit: St. Paul for instance prays that God may sanctify his people "wholly", with "spirit and soul and body" kept sound and blameless at the Lord's coming.[236] The Church teaches that this distinction does not introduce a duality into the soul.[237] "Spirit" signifies that from creation man is ordered to a supernatural end and that his soul can gratuitously be raised beyond all it deserves to communion with God.[238] 368 The spiritual tradition of the Church also emphasizes the heart, in the biblical sense of the depths of one's being, where the person decides for or against God.[239]." 229 Gen 2:7. 230 Cf. Mt 16:25-26; Jn 15:13; Acts 2:41. 231 Cf. Mt 10:28; 26:38; Jn 12:27; 2 Macc 6 30. 232 Cf. I Cor 6:19-20; 15:44-45. 233 GS 14 # 1; cf. Dan 3:57-80. 234 Cf. Council of Vienne (1312): DS 902. 235 Cf.
