nor shall any like you arise after you."
That's a great blessing and honor given to Solomon!
But it seems that one who is greater than Solomon is not esteemed higher than him, nor His word. Sad that, but I'm not surprised because even many who walked with Jesus, witnessed His miracles heard His words directly from the Father on the throne in Heaven, did not believe in Him!
The carnal mind will never understand the things of the Spirit!
Indeed the spirit does go back to God who gave it. Gino did not do a good job explaining the difference between the soul and spirit. There IS a difference!
It's not easy to explain, nor are there many scriptures to prove the truth of the matter, but I believe there only needs to be one scripture given for the truth to be known and accepted. But that's me! lol
You do believe
2nd Timothy 3:16 right?
How about
Hebrews 4:12-13
"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."
I'm sure that we all understand from this text that it's talking about Jesus, the LIVING WORD right? And not the written text of scripture? Can the scripture divide soul and spirit, or discern the thoughts and intents of the heart?
Or how about when Jesus gave up His spirit, but then the scriptures tells us in
Acts 2 that death had it's hold on Him.
Luke 23:46
"And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said,
“Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ ” Having said this, He breathed His last."
We have read
Acts 2 countless times, but have we really understood the truth of the text that's written there? It's obvious many have not!
Peter, an apostle of Jesus, having walked with the Lord before and after His resurrection stood up and spoke right after being baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire said:
Acts 2:22-28
“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;
whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. For David says concerning Him: ‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken. Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.
For You will not leave my soul in Hades, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’
The text clearly says that God raised up Jesus from the dead, loosing Him from the PAINS of Death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. Then Peter quotes David who had a prophetic gift, saying that the SOUL of Jesus would not be left in Hades, but didn't Jesus commit His spirit to the Father? So how then could His soul be in Hades held by Death?
Because there IS a difference between the body(flesh), soul and spirit!
Peter continues to quote David who foresaw the resurrection of Christ.
Acts 2:31
"
he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption."
His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His body decompose! A clear distinction between the body and the soul here. At least for me it is!
There is no soul sleep and I pray that it doesn't take death on this earth and the afterlife for people to understand the truth!
almost ! My bibler has 10 more books because is the LXX .Did you knew that this was the Bbile of the Church? there are some quotes too! As for if they are inspired or no. Look i dont know! But i got encouraged when i listened that even Gino use them! So i dicided to read them for my self and see.
