GOTCHA didn't I? Ps 37:13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. So, if you are not one to be laughed at then please explain Ps 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
You have refused to comment on any verses I have presented ad it is you that has a gotcha????
NO he-man I can respond to any verse in the bible you care to put up. As with every bible reader on the planet there are verses that i plain do not understand what they are even about. Then there are verses which are symbolic and sometimes the symbolism is straightforward and sometimes not.
But here is the test of your doctrine, I am going to deal with some of your verses just to illustrate to readers that you can NOT respond to mine. Once I respond you have no excuse to keep on looking for bible verses to prove the ones I quote incorrect.
I commented on Matthew 5 , the inheriting earth earlier so let's look at this one:
Ps 37:13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. So, if you are not one to be laughed at then please explain Ps 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
I will go with the verse saying this:
But the humble will inherit the land
And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
Nothing to do with eternal life, nothing to do with the eternal inheritance like Daniel talks about in Daniel 12.
Later in Psalms 37 we read this:
18 The Lord knows the days of the blameless,
And their inheritance will be forever.
So then I looked for anybody inheriting land or earth forever.....I found this verse in Psalm 37
The righteous will inherit the land
And dwell in it forever.
But then I remembered, there was no eternal life in the time of this writing so there was no going to heaven and there was no living forever on earth. AND all of this was present tense as far as who was receiving the information. There was resurrections of the dead concerning Daniel and his people but it was NOT to planet earth, they were resurrected to be with the Lord, in cloud forever... not the earth or the land.
Then I copied a few verses from someones post above as follows:
2Co 4:11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
Yes, Jesus is within us, at least in those who believe, and that is within our life or as we live. This verse says nothing about life after death.
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and [when] the dead shall be raised incorruptible, we shall be changed.
This is a very important verse. Without the understanding of this one the bible is a very confusing book.
You need verse 51 in there to now what happens at the last trump.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
NOT ALL of the audience Paul was talking to would sleep. Some would some would not have to. However, all of the dead and all people alive would be changed. The change was there would no longer any sleeping. There was no longer a requirement to sleep and wait for a resurrection.
At or near that same time the dead would be resurrected- in the twinkling of an eye this all happens. The righteous dead are raised incorruptible, the mortals, dead since spirits started returning to God, are resurrected to life. Because of the CHANGE that happened at the same time, people who die after that last trump do not have sleep but are raised to eternal life at th time of their personal death. 2 COR 5:1 and Jhn 11:26.
1Jn 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Exactly. When we see Jesus again, as in at the judgment seat of Christ, 2 COR 5:10, we will be like He is but even John did not know precisely what that would be. Remember John was there and SAW Jesus as flesh and bone. What that tells us is Jesus will not be flesh and bone when we see Him again. Jesus however can be spirit because John did not have the ability to see a spirit when Jesus walked earth after His resurrection and that explains why John dod not know what He would look like.
Is 54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
God is the one and only God over all earth... so?????????????????
Mal 2:10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
???????????????????????????
Now you tell me what the verses mean that I quoted and just for fun you can tell me what you think inheriting the earth is and WHY this verse was NOT included:
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
