Every word of the original Greek is right there. Enjoy!
And yea, people "need" a lot of things buddy. Nevertheless, I do not "acknowledge" your bizarre take on that passage.
Are you a Rabbi by any chance?
Mat 23:8
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Jas 3:1
My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.
A believer in the risen Christ, who is a futurist, literalist, premillennialist and believes in the pre-trib rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ, aka the Bride, aka the Body.
Of course I also believe in the promised and prophesied final and full redemption and reconstitution of the sons of Jacob aka the Nation Israel, Gods elect people at the end of the turbulation aka 70th week of Daniel. I likewise believe that this redemption is yet future and will soon be coming to pass.
And you?
In principle the same - its rare indeed to find a believer "Christian" who understands Romans 11! I would say our understanding of Revelation is different, but no need to go into that right now.
I don't believe in heaven going...the meek will inherit the earth...not heaven!
Those promised are still yet to be made perfect as per Hebrews 11:39 they have not received what has been promised i.e immortality and their inheritance. God is still taking a people from the Gentiles for His name.
No doubt we differ on many more doctrinal points but the Heaven and Hell going would be two majors.

and also became part of it in Christ
“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.”
Acts 17:24-28
his hands are shaping us and it
“It's because of sin that we ALL die. But the Bible does not tell us the reason that Moses died when and where he did.”
“And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.”
Numbers 20:12 KJV
when they reached the point of entering into the land , Gods word there to Aaron and Moses had to be fulfilled before the people could be led into the land by Joshua crossing over the Jordan
“So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.”
Deuteronomy 34:5 KJV
That was what I was trying to say the reason he died when and where he did is because of what he did striking the rock instead of obeying God , the next verse says Moses can’t lead then into the land now , so when they reached the edge and we’re about to enter this happened
God said this to Moses
“And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying, Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession: and die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people: because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel. Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.”
Deuteronomy 32:48
Do you see what I was saying ? Because Moses did that , and they reached the time to enter in God sent him to die on the Mount because of his transgression and lack of atonement
but he was allowed a slight mercy by the angel allowing him to see the promised land at a long distance away but he never received the actual promise of entering it . But Moses was gathered to his people to rest until Christ came
“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.”
Hebrews 11:13-14, 16 KJV
translation probably would be something like this
“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
1 Corinthians 15:51-58 KJV
Very impressed with this post!
Like Abraham Moses looked for a city whose builder and maker is God...he sleeps awaiting the Resurrection.
Depends on whose perspective you are speaking from.
If from the God of the living perspective, then yes! absolutely!
For those trying to resist its lusts and temptations then no, its super strong! We can overcome our nature or bias to sin.
Death is the flesh's strength and weakness.
It was condemned to die just like you.
BTW his flesh didnt keep anything - he was made strong by his Father in mind to overcome it.
The weakness he died too he did once...the result of which made him the righteousness of God.
