What "changes in the body?"
Could you please provide a Scriptural basis for this statement?
There is no "new body" for the Spirit of God to enter...He enters the one we are born with.
We have a new spirit and new heart, not because God needs something "to go into," but we have a new heart and spirit because God enters into us.
Again...where is your Scripture?
Support your statement.
Scripture?
Scripture?
Again, where you are making a mistake is in not distinguishing between physical and spiritual life, then, to add to that, the distinction between spiritual life being Eternal or not.
All men have a body, all men have a spirit, and all men are living souls (which applies whether they are physically alive or not). However, not all men have Eternal Life, we are in fact born without life, because we are born separated from God.
God bless.
You say it, but apparently do not comprehend it.
No, there is no "new body".
There IS a new "heart".
That IS what the Spirit of God enters.
God DOES require "something" ( a chamber, a vessel, a thing ) to be HOLY for Him to enter into it.
All men ARE a body ~ formed by God.
The body does NOTHING of its own (independently) until it is born and receives it's own living soul from God.
Everything that is in that "independent" body, is that man, and is called by the name of that man.
When that body is born, it becomes that man.
When that body is born and receives a living soul, it becomes that man.
When that man learns to talk, his word spoken becomes that man.
When that man learns "things", he decides if it is true, and that truth, becomes his truth, and he himself.
When that man thinks "in his own mind" if he wants to lie or speak the truth, that also is the man himself, ie his word.
When the flesh is born, it IS corrupt, because of the natural seed (sperm) it came from.
Because the flesh body IS corrupt, everything IN the body is subject to corruption of the flesh body.
Because of corruption OF the body ~ the body suffers diseases, the soul suffers, the natural spirit in a mans heart suffers, the mindful thoughts suffer.
And aside from all of those "things" suffering physically, mentally, emotionally, truthfully.....they become "separated from God".
ALL "separations from God" is death.
God has provided mankind a WAY, to remedy his "separation from God".
The "remedy", is "according to" Gods WAY and ORDER.
It all begins with a man first recognizing a need for Gods remedy and reconciliation.
The ORDER is to first LEARN ABOUT GOD ~
To open ones ears to hearing, and then reading, ie being "enlightened" to Gods Truth.
A man must make his own decision to TRUST Gods word, teaching, way.
A man who decides to completely TRUST God ~ will follow after Him ~ even when the man does not yet understand.
A man who decides to continue following after God ~ will eventually SUBMIT "his corrupt" life unto Gods authority.
IF you have submitted your life unto Gods authority ~ you did so BECAUSE you TRUST GOD, and are faithful to Him above all other things.
A man WHO HAS submitted their life unto Gods authority ~
The man made the "choice" -
God "responds" "quickly" -
God forgives the "separation from Him" ~
God sanctifies the flesh body, sets it aside as "justified" to be "changed" along with ALL faithful to Him.
God "restores" the soul, that it shall FOREVER keep life from Him 'in it".
God "rebirths" (with His SEED) the natural spirit of man, into a FOREVER LIVING spiritual spirit.
God "gives the man" a "new heart", that is holy, for which HIS Spirit may be imparted into the man.
Gods Spirit "dwells" in the mans "new heart", WITH the mans "new spiritual spirit".
Gods Spirit "communicates" teaches, reveals, gives wisdom, gives understanding OF His TRUTH; via His Spirit to the mans spirit.
Forever that man is restored FROM corruption and separation from God.
Forever that man is SAVED unto God and SHALL forever LIVE with God and God with the man.
God created the earth.
God created mankind to inhabit the earth.
God prepared mankind to be his "subjects", to learn from him, HOW TO, be like Him, and all men inhabit the earth ACCORDING TO HIS "likeness", "love", "mindset".
Mankind "corrupted" Gods desire.
However there are a FEW of "mankind" WHO DO want the same as God Desires ~
And God HAS PROVIDED A WAY, for the FEW to achieve becoming LIKE Him....
AND inhabiting the earth, with Him as the head of government, ie their KING, His Kingdom.
For a man to become "with" God, the man MUST FIRST be born of WATER and born of the SPIRIT of God. (Gods Seed).
John.3
- [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
In the "end" ~ mankind will be WITH God in His Kingdom.....or NOT.
A final "separation" is being "effected" every day, for individuals, as individuals CHOOSE to submit unto God, and others CHOOSE, not to.
A last day has already be determined, BY God, in which ALL Choices of mankind will END, and the separation OR enjoining to God will come to an end.
Of those enjoined to God; they will remain restored, renewed, quickened, changed and occupy Gods Kingdom as inhabitants.
Of those separated FROM God;
they will have LIFE departed from their BODY (blood and living soul).
they will have NEVER received a new forever living spiritual spirit, from Gods Seed.
Their body, void of life, shall be destroyed.
Their soul, void of life, shall be destroyed.
Your continuing to preach a FETUS is an "individual" is nonsense.
It is "developing" into a man, BECAUSE it is "dependent" upon the mother's BLOOD.
That FETUS is NOT BORN of water.
That FETUS is NOT BORN of the Spirit of God.
That FETUS is NOT BORN period!
That FETUS is NOT a man, born of the earth, of WHICH, it can be changed, transformed, and born of God.
Read and Trust the Scriptures ~ A man must FIRST be born of water and the Spirit to become reconciled unto God.
Read and Trust the Scriptures ~ Where in ALL of Scriptures does it teach you something NOT BORN, is BORN "AGAIN"?
