    Faith is a Gift, not just an action.

    Well, maybe my point was better to say Grace can exist but our belief has to occur by God giving us the ability to receive God's gift. but one can have faith but belief in the wrong thing you just reminded me of the Cajun chef who would say "lady type female woman"

    The Seven Days of Creation

    I see your point, the verses were showing future events but the use of the words apply generally., yown can mean more than one 24 hr day, In the future examples, an age or time period, as we would use "in the day of the king" as more than one single day

    we will probably be like angels with bodies appropriate for Heaven, not male or female Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven

    Why would you prefer to keep your current body? We do not 1Co 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 1Co 15:50 ¶ Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit...

    Faith is a Gift, not just an action.

    i agree, Grace is the gift, but faith, or the ability to believe comes from God as well. Where else? Mar 10:15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

    "The Good Pleasure of His Will"

    yes, you gave an answer but as many of our teachings it was in conflict with scripture, Flesh is physical, not spiritual. not eternal. We have been fed a bias toward the human condition over the spiritual.

    "The Good Pleasure of His Will"

    Bodies are corruptible 1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannotinherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. We do not understand the past correctly , why are you so confident in the future as taught by man? Will be like the angels?

    The Intellectual Problem of Evil Syllogism

    We are the bad guys in the narrative, a story of redemption of sinners We have to be able to make bad choices in order to freely make good choices We often make bad choices, Thus evil exists through God's permissive will.

    "The Good Pleasure of His Will"

    Just the complete opposite, All humanity is good because it is the method of redemption. as opposed to Gnostics who say flesh is evil. I say the spirit is more important than the flesh, ad Jesus does. Humanism, placing the human experience above the spiritual has entered Christianity and we...

    "The Good Pleasure of His Will"

    I think you speculate heavily 1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed is this your #1? or #2 explanation?

    "The Good Pleasure of His Will"

    God did, but you were not a man, but the sinful spiritual being we call our "soul". We are not judged as flesh and blood. We are condemned before being human and sent to Hell after we die. Per scripture, flesh and blood are not judged but we are already condemned. Humanity is a means of...
