Featured Job's Resurrection Verse: Job 19:25-26

If in the Resurrection, there is no marriage, are Christians to marry, since the Resurrection has happened?

 

And just like that, Yeshua1 is added to Tom's ignore list. Join the club, partner!

 

Absolutely the best question of the decade.

 

.........Well?

 

Daniel 9:21 reads "Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation." (section italicized only for emphasis)

Daniel saw Gabriel as a man and was touched by him, which says to me that there is some physical presence there. Jacob "wrestled with an angel." The text says a "man" wrestled with him, though the "man" was able to put Jacob's hip out of joint by simply touching it.

 

You said the Resurrection has happened. Are you revising your statement?

 

Luke further explains that they are like the angels in that they can die no more.

Marriage was until death do us part. Notice all these brothers, died childless and lastly the woman died. Because of the law there was no adultery because death ended the marriage, See Romans 7:2,3 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

Now marriage, of the man to the woman taken from him, pictured the eternal union of Christ to the church, at which time, she, the church will have overcome the gates of Hades, for she, the church will have been resurrected from the dead, equal unto the angels. Therefore no marriage between man and woman for there will be no male nor female.

 

You are perverting the text. The analogy between angels and men in the resurrection is not in regard to having physical bodies. The analogy is, indeed the whole answer to the Sadducees is that they will have resurrected physical bodies but like the angels there will be no self-reproductive capabilities.

Furthermore, the natural reading of Job demands he is referring to his resurrected physical state. Your interpretation is forced and completely unnatural.

 

And you soon will be on his ignore list.

Good points, btw

 

Perhaps, but that won't change the truth of the text.

Thanks, just stating the obvious.

 

I think you are the one that better reread the text. You forget that Paul sided with the Pharisees against the Sadducees in Acts 23:7-9 and the Pharisees did believe in a physical resurrrection and that is the precise reason Paul states that he sided against the Sadducees with the Pharisees. The Sadducees denied any physical resurrection at all. Josephus plainly tells you that. Have you read Josephesus????

The seven husband argument was designed to ridicule the idea of a physical resurrection not designed to support it!!! Jesus is supporting the physical resurrection and his answer shows that the sadducees both ancient and modern neither know God's Word or God's power.

Do you forget that one qualification for being an apostle is to be an eyewitness of the resurrrected body of Christ? Do you realize that 1 Corinthians 15 is by design to prove the resurrection of Christ's body as the sole basis for the resurrection of our bodies in "the resurrection"? Surely, you don't deny the clear and explicit teaching of Paul in 1 Cor. 15?????

Their question was designed to make fun of any kind of physical resurrection and thus deny any and all future resurrections - that was their intent. Jesus used physically dead people (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) in response rather than CURRENT BORN AGAIN people! Your argument is absolutley irrational and a complete distortion of the entire context!! According to your theory, Jesus should have used CURRENT BORN AGAIN KINGDOM BELIEVERS to counter their argument but HE DOES NOT!. The future resurrection is called the resurrection of "the dead." Are you claiming the metaphorical body of Christ is "dead" and needs to be resurrected?

I cannot go on responding to your nonsense until I ask you a direct question and please give me a direct answer. Do you believe that 1 Corinthians 15 teaches a future physical resurrection of the body of the saint? Do you believe 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 teaches a physical bodily resurrection of the saints that Christ brings with Him? They are obviously spiritually alive as they come with Christ, so what is the need of a resurrection of just them if the only resurrection in the future is a resurrection of the metaphorical body of Christ? Are only those whom He brings with them this metaphorical body??? Please just Yes or no to these questions!

 

How is it that we let tom get away with his snarky demeanor, but when you try it against him he puts you on ignore? I think we should all ignore him if that is the game he's going to play.

 

So your snarky attitude is justified with the correct audience??? This is the height of hypocrisy people. Am I the only one seeing this? He put me on ignore b/c we call each other names (well I called on of his comments asinine so he called me asinine). He is showing himself to be a hypocrite in every sense.

 

Reread what I said and then respond correctly! I said "METAPHORICAL" body not literal body. Your position seems that the future resurrection has to do with the "metaphorical" body of Christ(the church) rather than with the individual physical body of the saint. However, it is called the resurrection of "the dead"! Again, is the "metaphorical" body of Christ (the church) dead, because the future resurrection is of "the dead"!

The rest of your response was no response at all. Your argument over Acts 23:8 is pointless because Paul sided with the Pharisees who do believe in a PHYSICAL bodily resurrection and THAT IS THE CONTRAST between the Pharisees and Sadducees which you simply attempt to pervert and deny.

Notice that Acts 23:8 says "both" not THREE things! Angels and spirits represent ONE CLASS - conscious existence without a physical body. The other class is "resurrection" of a physical body. Paul sided with the Pharisees and thus believed in the resurrection of the physical dead buried body of the saint.

Neither did you respond to the fact that Jesus uses PHYSICALLY DEAD BURIED saints (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob) in his response to the Sadducees rather than LIVING REGENERATED saints to prove his point about the resurrection of the physical body being reunited to conscious living spirits.

You simply provided no response to these problems with your interpretation.
