Subject: Actual bodies in heaven? |
Bible Note: Greetings friend, I would “assume” that you believe in what is referred to as the Trinity? “Here is a good and fun challenge,” Find one place in the Bible, just one, where it says the word Trinity. This reference must say Trinity; if this is the true teaching of scripture then the Bible should have a number of references that say Trinity. Can you find any? I hope you realize that I am being facetious! That being the case: 2 Cor. 5:5-8 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Where is the Lord Jesus Christ at this present time? I hope you say heaven? In 2 Cor. 5:8 The words “present with” the Lord in the original Greek of the New Testament is, “PROS ENDEMESAI” which is in the accusative case, which is causative, and could be translated, face to face with the Lord. Now since Jesus is in heaven where would it place the one who is face to face with Him? This is what is known as pedagogy by deductive reasoning. 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Psalm 119:160 The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. Have a great day, CDBJ |
