2 Corinthians Chapter 5 Discussion Page 2

Mr. Bowman,

Thank you for your reply. These added scriptures absolutely help answer my question.

God Bless you!

Raquel Herrera-Auckland

Thank you very much for replying. This is exactly the answer I was looking for!

God Bless you!

Hebrews chapter 9

27 And as it is appointed unto men ONCE TO DIE but after this the judgment:

28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

This is speaking of the Christian dead. (Wherever their bodies ceased to be alive. For the Christian, Christ follower; their flesh/bone remains on the earth, awaiting the moment of the Rapture.

Their spirits have already returned to God in heaven.

The non-Christian dead, remain where they died. Their bodies had been flesh and soul. Because they did not receive Jesus as their Lord; their spirits were not alive to God. They await the Great White Throne Judgment of the wicked dead.

In the story of Lazarus the beggar, a rich man awaiting the judgment begged for water because of the flames, but Lazarus could not cross the gulf of distance.

The rich man (died wicked dead) begged again, that Lazarus would go witness Christ to his family members, yet alive. But Lazarus could not cross the gulf. People in hell...pray; they feel, they thirst; they can see.

They would tell you to rescue their still unsaved loved ones.

We can all witness now to our alive, but unsaved family members or close friends. It's up to us. We may be their only contact to hear that there is hope and rest in Jesus. Eternal life in heaven.

I grieved for my unsaved friends and relatives. We all do. Regret is hard to swallow.

Instead of becoming bitter at God and Jesus, remember the manner of death Jesus had to die, so we could be born again. I wept when I watched "the Passion of Christ" movie. I covered my eyes too.

We need to think on this exchange between Lazarus and the rich man; and not stay silent any longer. TIME is shorter.

LUKE 16: 19-31

May God hold your heart in his Hand and give you peace. In Jesus Name. Mishael

Raquel, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

The ones who die in unbelief will at some point in time be resurrected back in their bodies of flesh and will be JUDGED IN CHRIST and will BE IN CHRIST.

Isaiah 1:26 I will restore thy judges (ones in first resurrection)as at the first, and thy counsellors (ones in first resurrection) as at the beginning: afterwards (second resurrection; after they or judged IN CHRIST) thou shalt be called, the city of RIGHTEOUSNESS, the FAITHFUL city.

Isaiah 26:9 .....for when thy JUDGEMENTS are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Isaiah 61:11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the Lord God WILL CAUSE RIGHTEOUSNESS and PRAISE to spring forth before ALL the nations.

Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise (ones in the first resurrection) shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they (ones in first resurrection) shall turn many (ones in second resurrection) to RIGHTEOUSNESS as the stars for ever and ever.

Raquel. May CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN, specially those that BELIEVE.

1 Timothy 4:11 These things COMMAND AND TEACH.

1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have (not maybe) ALL MEN TO BE SAVED, and come to the knowledge of TRUTH (CHRIST)

1 John 4 :14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father (THE WORD) SENT the SON TO BE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me VOID, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I SENT IT.

Revelations 15:4 ...for ALL NATIONS shall come and worship before thee...

Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth SHALL WORSHIP HIM, whose names ARE NOT WRITTEN in the book of life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Jesus was SENT by his FATHER to be the saviour of the world; HE WILL NOT FAIL!

When nonbelievers die, are they given one more chance to believe in God? If so what scripture is that found?

That he everything you see they his handy work.

What is meant by the phrase: "all things are of God".

Breath of life, keeping believing. The holy spirit is in you. Amen.

Ms. Donna

We must remember that GoD's timing is not our time. Keep the faith and keep trusting in God as you wait on him to do it.

God bless you.

April 2020 and all mankind is scratching their head and bottom concerning this and that, nevertheless the will of JEHOVAH /GOD, see the 7-SEALS in the book of REVELATION, shall come to pass. Verse 1 above is our assurance, 1 For we KNOW that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we HAVE a building of GOD, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Also see John 3:16.

As the beginning of this Corona virus intervening the being of the First start of the Rapture it was said those are left will be Father up together Corona virus is th evidence of Read and think children.
This is truly my Belief.
Study the scriptures Think. 2 Corirhians 5:10

Isaiah 55:8-11-"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." Amen. Always remember, my sister, God knows whats best for us. Trust and believe in God.

I found out one thing about jesus he will supply all your need and he Will give us most of I want, went you pray from the heart,Jesus will answer your pray. Remember he know what best for you.

God will move with only one person and put 10,000 off to flight

I think you need to pray with 2 or more people. I recall a verse that says if 2 or more of you gather together in my name & agree as touching a thing.. I am in the midst of you. Type that in the search box at the top of this website; it'll go get the scripture.

James 4 helps answer that question. God can also answer no to some requests as he's not a magic genie in a lamp existing to serve people.

When the St.James bible reads ; ask and you shall receive.Why do I not receive what I have asked for,for so many,many many years?

The Owner of the house has left and has carried money with him and he shall be for a day appointed, but the child of God in all his labor under the Sun, while he still has time must work. He must avoid the destraction of the Adulterous woman who desires to chew him up alive. He must not turn near by her door not even to look at it but fleeing from her and her fornications he must do. This was the Testimony of Joseph in Potiffers' house that though he may have been absent from his master Potiffer yet he refused to dishonor his master by sleeping with his wife.

We are reminded of the pending judgement of all people individually-for all our deeds-whether good or bad

Be ye converted as members in Christ's living body: not Satan's body, which is the son of perdition, being dead. As all in Christ are judged joint-heirs with Christ: so will all in Satan be judged as Satan. For this it is written, We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ: that every one may receive the things DONE in HIS body, according to that he hath done, whether IT BE good or bad.

We Can't earn our Salvation but we will Show we have it. 1John3:6-7 Whosoever abideth in Him Sinneth Not he that Sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him. Little Children let no Man deceive you he that doeth Righteousness is Righteous even as He is Righteous. Blessings Grannie Annie.

Jesus knew no sin. In like manner, we must also live a sinless life in order to be congruent with the righteousness of Christ. Jesus said, "Be ye holy, and be ye perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect". Christ Jesus has all the ingredients to make us perfect. What an extraordinary and godly blessing.

Again, the power of God's excellent Word is emphatic. We have a building of God eternal in the heavens. Walk by faith, not by sight. Let us live to be accepted of God. We don't live unto ourselves, but to Christ. Jesus makes us a brand new creature. The sin spirit is taken out of our lives. We are ambassadors for Christ. Jesus therefore, reconciles us to the Father.

God can: Will use anyone:Saul Persecuting Christians, Jesus appeared to him road to
Damascus: Jesus spoke to him: Recognized Jesus: Was blinded: Jesus appeared to Phillip:Told: Go to street called Strait: Pray for Saul: How much he must suffer for the cause of Christ: Phillip beaten by Saul: Afraid to go: Chosen vessel: Phillip Prayed: Scales felll: Name:
Chang’s: Saul to Paul: Sin to Peace:

OK this is the QUESTIONS i wanted to ask. the HOLY one made a covenant with his people and that's promise he maid can we made a promise to him that is the hard is think to do for some people.

Only Sinners Can be Saved by The Blood of The Lamb, Righteous People Can Not. They that are Whole have no Need of The Physician But They that are Sick: I Came not to Call The Righteous But Sinners to Repentance( Mark 2:17) Self Righteousness Always Leads to The Lake of Fire( Revelation 20:15)

David, only Christians are born again. All others are sinners. John 3: 7, Christ talking.

I love Jesus but people say they do but could really not love him

I'm a reborn Christian and it's only by the grace that Jesus has given us that any of us are alive today
