21 | will souls be free of their problrems | Rev 21:4 | FlintyJoe | 207430 | ||
Meditate on the account of Lazarus in John chapter 11. Jesus delayed going to his sick friend long enough for his family and friends to watch him suffer and die and then, to mourn. But notice how they reacted when he was resurrected from the dead. They were not upset with Jesus any longer, but were beside themselves over this miracle. This is a mini-example of what we can look forward to in the future. When God's tent resides with mankind, any memories of this old world will be overwhelmed by what God will bring about. | ||||||
22 | Death God's friend or enemy? | 1 Cor 15:25 | FlintyJoe | 207428 | ||
You hit the nail on the head - "it wasn't his plan for us to die." That's why he hates death - it is a product of sin, of Satan himself. (John 8:44; Heb 2:14) Thankfully, he is not someone that let's rebellious creatures ruin his purposes. The heavens belong to him, but he has given the earth to men. (Ps 115:16) Faithful men, that is, of course. Like an owner of a multi-family building, he will evict the bad tenants for the sake of his worshipers. (Prov 2:21-22; Psalm 37:10-11,29; Matt 5:5; 2 Pet 3:7) What he created was very good and in the "regeneration" or renewal of everything stained by sin (new age, the Messianic rebirth of the world, Amplified)we will be overwhelmed by the contrast to this world in the power of the wicked one. (Matt 19:28; 1 John 5:19) | ||||||

The Holy Spirit, as you know, can do many things. As regards being "born again," note Romans 8:15-17: "For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. Ask yourself: Why does 'the creation wait in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed' as verse 19 states? I think John and all who died before Pentecost, including the evil-doer next to Jesus, are the "creation" that look to be made perfect and enjoy life under Christ and the heirs of God. | ||||||

You may be correct: "alot of folks are going to have to rethink their doctrines and theology." “Where would that leave all the 'righteous' saints of old?” In need of someone with a “better hope.” "God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect."(Heb 11:38-40)Do you believe the earth will be inhabited after Armageddon? Perhaps, the theologians have misinterpreted who will live on the earth then? As regards the importance of baptism, we can be certain that Paul was well aware of Jesus’ command to make disciples and to baptize them. (Matt. 28:19, 20) And Paul traveled widely, making disciples and teaching people to observe all the things Jesus commanded. He did not minimize the importance of baptism, but recommended it. (Acts 19:1-5) |

That's an excellent question that must be answered in harmony with the rest of Scripture. Read John 3:5 and notice who only can enter into the kingdom of God. Even assuming John was baptized in water, he was not baptized in holy spirit as Acts 1:5 clearly indicates. Holy spirit as Jesus stated would arrive at Pentecost. I hope this helps. |

Shouldn't we view death as God does? The verse states that it is His enemy. | ||||||
