What saith the Scripture

Different format this week:  question,  Did Jesus die physically and spiritually, or was it only physically when crucified?  If you have a comment, please offer Book, Chapter, and Verse.   Sincerely  James  

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 [Authorized King James Bible]:  "Moreover brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and wherein ye stand;  By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that He was buried, and that He arose again the third day according to the scriptures." Romans 2:16  "In that day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel" Galatians 1:11-2  "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.  For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it , but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." What's wrong with the simple truth given to us by God in His Word of what He expects of humanity to prevent humanity, and you from being sep...

 1 Corinthians 1:10  [Authorized King James Version]  "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye speak the same thing, and that  there be no divisions among you; but that  ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment." Read that verse by its self and also in context with the whole.  Is that what the body of Christ is doing today in their services?  Is that we are being told and taught.  When I read Ephesians 4, 1 Corinthians 12:12-134, Romans 12:4, and other texts that we are to be "perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment."  I find that for one to say I'm of this or that denomination is to reject the counsel of God, of being disobedient and unbelieving.  "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; ...

  2 Corinthians 2:17   Authorized (King James) Version:   “For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” How is God’s Word corrupted today?   The “But now” of the dispensation we live in?   If one would do a serious study of God’s Word of how it came to be, how was it given by God to man?   What is the timeline and where are we in this line of time.   What has God given us to see, believe, read, comprehend, concerning Him, us, and what He expects of us in this day?   “ For we are laborers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry,  ye are  God’s building.   “According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.    For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” ...

  Romans 10:2   Authorized (King James) Version “For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.” Last Friday while out with Fermina, my wife of 48 years, I had the good fortune to met two different groups of people.   One a man and his wife [I presume]   then a threesome. The first man was rearing a face mask reading “Jesus loves you”.   So I asked him what that meant to him.   He hemmed and hawed around about, but never answered.   His significant other who exited had now returned and he spoke to her, which I couldn’t hear.   She immediately took the forefront of the interaction I was trying to have with him.   I ask him “How do you know you’re saved and will go to heaven when you die.   She intervened and quoted John 3:16.   I tried to explain that Paul’s gospel [I gave the reference, First Corinthians 15:1-4] is for us today but she have nothing to do with it.   Two points to...
