A&E / Man's SPIRIT is immortal.
Their Body/Soul is mortal.
God judges SPIRITS. He IS only Spirit.
Jesus will judge ONLY the WORKS of believers. Their SPIRITS are not judged.
The Body/Soul combo "houses" the SPIRIT. At its "death", the SPIRIT returns to God who gave it.
DEATH...then what?
What I choose to be BELIEVE for true Christ folowers ONLY:
" To be absent from the BODY/SOUL combo (death on earth) is to be present (SPIRITUALLY) with the TRI-UNE GOD (eternal SPIRITUAL life in the heavenly realms)"....a paraphrase of Paul, emphasizing differences in BODY / SPIRIT.
2 Corinthians 5: 1-15 (NIV)...BELIEVERS: Our Heavenly Dwelling
8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer
to be away from the BODY and at home (HEAVEN) with the Lord.(SPIRITUAL PRESENCE)
1 Peter 3: 18-19 (NIV with my comments)
(Jesus the Christ's BODY) being put to death in the flesh, but made (spiritually) alive by (God) the (Holy) Spirit,
19 by whom also He (resurrected Jesus) went and preached to (~released) the spirits (souls) in prison,...
("Paradise" + "Hades" = "Abraham's Bosom"...fulfilled by Jesus!) SEE:Luke 16: 19-31
For the THREE parts of man:==> SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY,
SEE:
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (NIV)
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through.
May your whole SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 4:12 (NASB) ....difference in SOUL and SPIRIT
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword,
and piercing as far as the DIVISION of SOUL and SPIRIT, of both joints and marrow, (BODY)
and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the "heart"(cardia).(spiritual conscience center)
Luke 16: 19-31...Jesus teaching on Jewish Tradition?...Jesus' descent to set the captives free...
TWO unseen and separated spiritual PLACES for the bodies / souls / spirits of the DEAD..."Paradise"* + "Hades"** = "Abraham's Busom"
Luke 23:43...Jesus: 1 of 7 sayings from the Cross
Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."...(on the cross)...before earthly Resurrection!
...Jesus was in "paradise" between the time of Body/Soul combo death and "resurrection" / TRANSFORMATION into His SPECIAL "spirit-body".
IT IS ALL ABOUT SPIRIT !!
Ecclesiastes 12...Remember God in Your Youth: AT DEATH...
7 then the dust (Body/Soul combo) will return to the earth as it was, (Genesis 2:7)
and the SPIRIT (breath of life) will return to God who gave it. (Genesis 1:26)
8 “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “all is vanity!”
Isaiah 42:5
Thus says God the Lord,
Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread out the earth and its offspring,
Who gives "breath" to the people on it (Body/Soul combo) And
SPIRIT to those who walk in it,
Zechariah 12:1 ...
Thus declares the Lord who stretches out the heavens,
lays the foundation of the earth, and
forms the SPIRIT of man within him,
Hebrews 9:27
And inasmuch as it is appointed for men (Body/Soul combo) to "die" once
and after this comes judgment,(of immortal SPIRIT)
