Sorry about that. I was commenting on something BenjaminN said.
It seemed kinda odd tbh.
As to your interpretation of the change, it is a foundational doctrine of Christianity that we shall not all die.
It doesn't say that brother, it says we shall not all SLEEP.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery;
We shall not all sleep, but
we shall all be changed,
To be CHANGED = dying, but not resting in the grave like the others did, in other words, we are CHANGED to Spirit men then go straight to Heaven, whereas the Dead in Christ SLEPT until Jesus called us home. Verse 50 tells us flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God. Why do you think it states the Dead are raised incorruptible? It means they have no flesh, thus we have to SHED our corruption, which is our flesh, which is stained with sin, so much so Mary merely touching Jesuswoulld have defiled the offering.
Those that are asleep in Christ will rise first means those that have died. But we shall not all sleep. Those that are alive when Christ comes will be changed in a moment and not die. Corruptible (flesh that can age, die and rot) will be changed into glorified resurrected body like the resurrected bodies of those who rise from the grave in a glorified body like Christs. Anyone can read 1 Cor 15, and 1 Thess 4.
I suggest you reread the passages again. We gain our glorious bodies in Heaven. The KJV is hard for some people to grasp. When it tells you the DEAD are raised incorruptible, it is referring unto them being raised as Spirit Men, we gain glorious bodies, but the Spirit Man is the HEAVENLY LIKENESS, our bodies look exactly like ur spirit man, it is not a must we have a body, God is a Spirit. But for some reason we have a body on earth and will gain one in Heaven, BUT, if you read these verses, you will see the Spirit Man is the heavenly version of us.
1 Cor. 15:44 It is sown a natural body;
it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and
there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the
last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy;
the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy,
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that
flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
We go to be with the Lord as Spirit men brother. We will be given a new body in Heaven but only after we are each judged first.
We know this because Matthew shows two women clinging to his feet. He tells them to go tell his disciples to meet him in Galilee. When we compare with John we are able to understand that one of them left but Mary kept clinging to him and he had to tell her that to stop because he she was going to have a different relationship with Him from now on. He was going to the Father to send the Holy Spirit and He would make His abode with her in her heart. This was what he meant.
No, no, no, Mary didn't even realize who Jesus was until he spoke to her.
John 20:15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou?
She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. 16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him,
Rabboni; which is to say, Master. 17
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her. 19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
8 days later Jesus allowed doubting Thomas to touch his wounds. So, the Second Coming is a misnomer, it really means the Second Advent of Jesus Christ, 1.) The Suffering Servant 2.) The Conquering King.
I don't like to call people false prophets or false teachers either but not all sleeping but being changed in the twinkling of an eye means the believers that are alive at His coming will not die but receive glorified bodies instantly without dying. They go from corruptible to incorruptible which is talking about the body. Now this is not up for debate so I won't debate it with you. I will however say that because of your stand on this I can't take anything else you say seriously. All your other opinions of scripture is suspect. Twisting this scripture means that you have the boldness to twist any scripture to make it mean something else than what it says.
You do not understand the passage brother, you need to restudy this. I am not going to say you are teaching falsely, because I understand we all see darkly at the present moment. I have erred before many times Jesus spends our whole lifetime bringing us from deception, to truth. No worries on that, I was just pointing out, that some people might get upset with that tag being thrown around, and our job 1 is to not turn people away from Christ, as Paul said I will be all things to all people to win souls. I knew a friend, who was a druggie, became a Christian, and because his church felt he should sing one song a week, he got discouraged, turned back to drugs, died of an OD. People in Church jealous of a position makes no sense to me, our job 1 is to encourage young Christians in the faith, not discourage them.
We all have the same mission still. To Go into all the world to preach the Gospel to every creature. It will not be over until we are raptured. Winning Souls and planting churches is still our mission. If you vacate that mission and just wait for the appearing you will be ashamed at his appearing. If you are not actively engaged in that mission you will suffer loss at the Bema Seat of Christ.
This too is not up for debate, I just felt the need to say something.
We should quit being so passionate about our faulty eschatological theories that might be wrong and get passionate about the Great Commission which is not over till it's over.
When the Holy Spirit shows me His truths, I don't change. There will be a Pre Trib Rapture, and its not that hard to understand tbh. All the facts are the facts brother. Sorry about not replying sooner. I got very sick yesterday. One of those turn the computer off and watch Perry Mason very low as a speed all day type sicknesses, splitting headache, sour stomach.
By the way, end times is my forte. So, understanding the Rapture was a must for me, I was called unto end-time prophecy.
God Bless
