We have two types of bodies

We currently live in a physical body. After our physical body dies, our consciousness or soul departs from the body much the same way a hermit crab discards an old shell. Contrary to popular belief, we don't become disembodied spirits. On the contrary, we will still have a body, just of a very different nature. This body will be a heavenly/celestial/spiritual body, whatever you want to call it. At a certain point, we will have new resurrected physical bodies that will be far superior to our current temporal bodies.

What most fail to realize is why we will need a resurrected body in the first place. A resurrected body is needed so that we can return to this earth and operate in this physical realm. That is why we have two types of bodies. A physical body can't operate in the heavenly realm, and a heavenly body can't operate in this physical realm. One body is made for earth; the other is made for heaven. I suspect at some future point, we will be able to translate between the two bodies to have access to both heaven and earth.

Pseudo-Ephraem DOES teach the Rapture!

"For all the saints and elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins." -Pseudo-Ephraem This is in response to Pseudo-Ephraem does not teach the Rapture! I would like to address some of the statements made by this website. "The false teachers who believe pre-tribulation Rapture theology desperately misuse an ancient document called, "Pseudo-Ephraem" as proof that someone before 1830 AD believed it." I first want to take issue with calling those who teach the pre-tribulation rapture "false teachers". The Bible defines a false teacher as 1)One who denies Jesus is Christ (1Jo 2:22), 2)one who preaches a different gospel, which is defined as the good news concerning Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, according to the Scriptures (Gal 1:19), and 3)Exhibits qualities that are unbecoming of a Christian ...

Petition calls for banning the Bible in response to GTA ban.

A recent Cnet article entitled " Grand Theft Auto fans push for ban on the Bible ", details Kmart and Target stores in Australia banning Grand Theft Auto V, in part due to an online petition that calls for the withdraw of GTA:V because of it's violence towards women. This petition has gathered 48,000 plus supporters as of this writing. A counter-petition was then created to ban the Holy Bible, which the petition claims "encourages readers to commit sexual violence and kill women". As of this writing this counter-petition has garnered 52,000 plus supporters. This petition states in part: It's a book that encourages readers to murder women for entertainment. The incentive is to commit sexual violence against women, then abuse or kill them to proceed or get 'god' points – and now Target are stocking it and promoting it for your Xmas stocking. This is The Holy Bible. This book means that after various sex acts, readers are given options to kill wo...

Pre-trib Typologies - How a priest was conscreted in the Old Testament

Image
The Typology of how a Priest was consecrated in the Old Testament:    A type is a biblical person, thing, action, event, ceremony, structure, furniture, number,  etc. that foreshadows an "antitype" of the same in the New Testament. The consecration of the priest in the Old Testament mirrors the walk of the believer in the New Testament.  The Tabernacle that God commanded Moses to build can be seen as a "type" of the church. The tent that covered the Tabernacle was called the "tent of meeting" because it was here God promised to meet with Moses and the people. The Courtyard surrounding the Tabernacle represents the world in that the courtyard is filled with sinners and also God's people. Because the court is "typical" of the world, the priest must first "leave the world" before he enters Tabernacle. The Priesthood served as a "type" of the coming of Jesus Christ and of the believer. The priesthood mirrors the Ch...
