Re: Gino Jennings On Soul Sleep
Brother Blume said: Paul's confidence in, and desire to, be absent from the body to be present with the Lord was speaking in reference to the groaning he experienced in his body, and the better situation of not being in it and weighted down by the groanings it caused.
So Paul said he groaned to be in the "intermediate naked state"? Yet he specifically wrote:
2Co 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
2Co 5:3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
2Co 5:4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
He specifically stated we do not groan for the unclothed or naked intermediate state, but rather for the clothed resurrected state.
