Oh please not more of this nonsense of non-existent soul at physical death!!!
Lu 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Please do not respond that he had to inform the theif what day it is that he spoke these words. Do you really think anyone on execution row does not know what day it is when they are executed?
I believe it is called comfort one another.
Mark 1:14,15 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Acts 20:25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. Acts 17:1,7 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
Rev. 11:15,18 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
2 Tim. 4:1 I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
The quick (those alive) and the dead (those who have died, no longer alive)
Dear Paul, You remember Larry, Curly and Mo? Well they died last year and we were wondering how Larry, Curly and Mo are going to be in the kingdom of God?
1 Thess. 4:16,17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive [and] remain (the quick) shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
By resurrection from the dead and or instant change at his appearing??? Yes or No?
Does this take place at his appearing and his kingdom????
1 Thess 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Luke 23:42,43 YLT and he (Bob) said to Jesus, `Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;' and Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee To-day, with me thou shalt be in the paradise.'
I moved the coma from preceding To-day to following to match all previous scripture being there were no coma's to begin with.
Paraphrased.
Bob said to Jesus, Lord remember me when you come in your kingdom. And Jesus said, Bob before today is past you and I are going to die on these crosses, however truly I say to you today, you will be with me in Paradise.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Does the word of God speak of dying and going to heaven, or does the word of God speak of inheriting .by birth, the kingdom of God at his appearing????
And as that great man Job said.
And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet in my flesh shall I see God:
