Bible Question: where in the bible says absent from the body, in presence of the lord. it's like when you die you direct to the lord |
Bible Answer: Dear lumbo :: Welcome to Study Bible Forum. The specific verse you are looking for is 2 Corinthians 5:8, but it should be read in the context of 5:1-8. ....... The biblical response to the second part of your question is yes, the immortal soul of the Christian goes to be with the Lord at the moment of physical death (v. 8). Thus the apostle refutes the doctrine of "soul sleep" which states that at death a Christian sleeps, unconscious, until Jesus comes. The words of Jesus on the cross to the penitent thief are in perfect harmony with this text (see Luke 23:42,43). --Hank |
