[QUOTE="eleos1954, post: 75551993, member: 404063"] The Lazarus story is a parable ... and it's focus is on the greedy rich ... it is not a teaching about an immortal spirit ... (I agree to disagree) Paul states he would [B]RATHER[/B] be absent from His body and present with the Lord ... of which any of us would prefer that as well. It is not a teaching that we have an immortal soul ... there is nothing immortal about us .... it is one of the main points when Jesus returns that is when we are changed and receive immortality. 1st Corinthians 15:53 In an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53[URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/1063.htm']For[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3588.htm']the[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/5349.htm']perishable[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/1163.htm']must[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/1746.htm']be clothed[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/861.htm']with the imperishable,[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/2532.htm']and[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3588.htm']the[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/2349.htm'][B]mortal[/B][/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/1746.htm']with[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/110.htm']immortality[/URL] [URL='https://www.christianforums.com/bible/1-timothy/6:16/']1 Timothy 6:16[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/1_timothy/6-14.htm'][B]14[/B][/URL][URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/5083.htm']Keep[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3588.htm']this[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/1785.htm']commandment[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/784.htm']without stain[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/423.htm']or reproach[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3360.htm']until[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3588.htm']the[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/2015.htm']appearance[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/1473.htm']of our[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/2962.htm']Lord[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/2424.htm']Jesus[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/5547.htm']Christ,[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/1_timothy/6-15.htm'][B]15[/B][/URL][URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3739.htm']which[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3588.htm']the[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3107.htm']blessed[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/2532.htm']and[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3441.htm']only[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/1413.htm']Sovereign One—[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3588.htm']the[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/935.htm']King[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3588.htm']of[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/936.htm']kings[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/2532.htm']and[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/2962.htm']Lord[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3588.htm']of[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/2961.htm']lords—[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/1166.htm']will bring about[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/2398.htm']in His own[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/2540.htm']time.[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/1_timothy/6-16.htm'][B]16[/B][/URL][B][URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3588.htm']He[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3441.htm']alone[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/2192.htm']is[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/110.htm']immortal[/URL] [/B][URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3611.htm']and dwells[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/676.htm']in unapproachable[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/5457.htm']light.[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3762.htm']No one[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3708.htm']has ever seen[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3739.htm']Him,[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3761.htm']nor[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/1410.htm']can anyone[/URL] [URL='https://biblehub.com/greek/3708.htm']see Him[/URL] There is nothing immortal about us until Jesus returns.
