hi/
I could also go onto say what I think is DIABOLICAL....but thats the Devils buisness!
Who cares what the 'wiki' says!
What did people refer to before there was a 'WIKI' or the 'INTER NET' or the 'google'?
One of those is the BIBLE.
Debunk it as much as you or others like, but it somehow ALWAYS comes back to reveal the TRUTH!
It has been said....All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof,
for correction,
for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (II Timothy 3:15-17).
"No prophesy of the Scripture is of private interpretation" (2 Pet 1:29).
the Gospel message concerning the body: "The body for the Lord, and the Lord for the body" (I Corinthians 6:13)
And for this reason it is said in Scripture... "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matt 16:18)]
Did you know that the OLD Testament and the NEW Testament refers to those that you call by name as 'Incorruptables'?as TRUTH!
Saints gradually fill themselves with the Holy Spirit, so that their sacred bodies, according to the word of the holy Apostle, become temples of the
Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 6:19; 3:17)
Christ dwelling by faith in their hearts (Ephesians 3:17)
Of those today living may have faith, but only outwardly and not inwardly.
Faith is called to be both inward and outward.
Our Bodies are .........temples of the Living God (II Corinthians 6:16)
Our Body was created by God and therefore we as Christians should care for it in all manners.
Our SOUL is part of our bodies...its the Living SPIRIT of God!
With his mantle the Prophet Elias struck the water, separating the waters of the Jordan, and along the dry bed of the river crossed the Jordan with
his disciple Elisea (IV Kings 2:8).
The prophet Elisea did the very same thing, himself, with the same mantle, after the taking-up of Elias into heaven (IV Kings 2:14).
All this has its verification and source in the Divine power that rested in the garments of the Savior, which encompassed His most pure and Divine
body. Moreover, by His inexpressible love for man, the Divine Lord allows the servants of His Divinity to work miracles not only through their bodies
and clothing, but even with the shadow of their bodies, which is evident in an occurrence with the holy apostle Peter: his shadow healed an ill man
and expelled unclean spirits (Acts 5:15-16).
"The Saints have become according to grace that which the Lord Christ is according to nature.
That is, they have become gods according to grace: pure and living habitations of God. For God says: 'I will dwell in them, walk in them, and I will
be their God' (II Corinthians 6:16; Leviticus 16:12).
The Holy Scriptures likewise say: 'the souls of the righteous are in God's hand, and death cannot lay hold of them' (Wisdom of Solomon 3:1).
Death meaning that the falling away from God in the Old Testament has been done away with.
Death has no meaning to a Christian....Jesus Christ has conquered Death by His Crusifixtion and Resurrection!
When the perishable puts on the imperishable,
and the mortal puts on immortality,
then shall come to pass the saying that is written...........
"Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?"
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God,
who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren,
be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,
knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
(1 Cor. 15:54-58)
AMEN
Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which ye have been taught,
whether by word (oral tradition) or our epistle (II Thessalonians 2:15).
"the world itself could not contain the books that should be written" (John 21:25)
But how can we know that the Church has preserved the Apostolic Tradition in its purity? The short answer is that God has preserved it in the Church
because He has promised to do so. Christ said that He would build His Church and that the gates of Hell would not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18).
Christ Himself is the head of the Church (Ephesians 4:16), and the Church is His Body (Ephesians 1:22-23). If the Church lost the pure Apostolic
Tradition, then the Truth would have to cease being the Truth — for the Church is the pillar and foundation of the Truth (I Timothy 3:15).
It is also said ......."if anyone is preaching to you a Gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1:9)
For death is rather the sleep of Saints than their death. Further: 'Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints' (Psalm
119:6)....
For you shall not all die but sleep....We are alive in Christ,although the Body(vessel)has died the SOUL is alive and living.
Also similar passages found in the Apocalypse of Saint John the Theologian.
So, if those that do follow the Old Testament, are they in the WRONG also?
Was the Old Testament full of LIES as well?
