If I'm not mistaken, there are a total of 8 individuals in the Bible that were raised from the dead, only to die again.
So here it is at last. The reason for your dissimulation of Paul and Jesus. In Pauls case it must be his words..."it is appointed to men once to dies and then be judged".
"Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, whoever hears what I say and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged, but has passed from death to life.
Jesus never said that one must believe in his death and resurrection. He is teaching a timeless truth.
This is where Paul's message breaks down. Jesus never taught of a "final dispensation." Jesus never taught that death meant "sleep" until his return. Jesus taught that death is an illusion.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Paul is a liar.

Excuses, excuses. Either way you put it, he died and was brought back to life only to die again.
So much for man dying only once before judgement.edit on 21-2-2013 by 3NL1GHT3N3D1 because: (no reason given)

I wasn't aware Moses ever mentioned Jesus by name. And either way, Jesus was Moses just as I am you and you are me.
I have a question for you. Since god is all-powerful and omnipresent, wouldn't he have the ability to perceive himself from many different perspectives? Or is that out of god's reach?
Yes Jesus did teach a final dispensation.
What book are you guys reading?
And the verse you posted has zip to do with your point.

What's the difference exactly? A title is a name.

Uh oh, here comes shut down mode. Once you start throwing insults around you have lost. Instead calling people names, why not prove us wrong?
How have you been proving your point when we have refuted everything you have said so far?
Please prove your point, because so far all you've done is cover your ears and say we're wrong without providing ANY evidence other than what Paul said. Even then, I have proven him to be a liar with him raising a man from the dead.
Stop throwing insults around and at least TRY to defend your standpoint, because thus far you haven't.edit on 21-2-2013 by 3NL1GHT3N3D1 because: (no reason given)

How have you proven that man only dies once when Paul brought someone back from the dead? How did Eutychus only die once when he was raise d from the dead? Is he still alive or something?

Okay, I Am. That's a title of mine as well. I AM "insert name here". See how that works?
So if the god that Moses was talking to was named Jesus, why is he called Yahweh? Why does Jesus never call himself Yahweh or even mention his name?edit on 21-2-2013 by 3NL1GHT3N3D1 because: (no reason given)

So if man never truly dies, then why did Paul say we only die once? Was he lying about death too?
Round and round we go.
