IMMORTALITY
Immortal life… Can it be?
Somewhere between the mainstream church and people searching for a God who really exists, the truth hangs in the air. Day after day people fight for life. Yes, not just for a living. What’s the point of making a living when we live such a short life that it’s going to end soon anyway? What is the reason to live if we have to die and go to heaven one day. Why don’t we just die and go to heaven?
The answer to that is in the truth. The truth that is written in the Bible that has been overlooked, misquoted and misinterpreted for many years.
People who call themselves “Christians” sometimes don’t even know what the word “Christ” means. It means the anointing and the Spirit of God that came to Jesus when he was baptized in the Jordan. That same Spirit that was returned to the Father, was poured out on earth on the day of Pentecost.
God never intended for Adam to die. His intention of his was never for us to die! All the history in the Bible is about LIFE! It is not about dying to go to heaven.
Immortality according to the Bible and according to most dictionaries means living without dying.
I have noticed with surprise that children commit suicide because of the teaching and preaching of most of the preachers in the main church. Most of the preachers preach that it is bad to live on earth and that it will be much better in heaven “ONE DAY”. How absurd! You are killing our children, lying to them. The Bible does not say that! I challenge any preacher to show me the scripture that says the only way to go to heaven is to die!
All of God’s Word is about Life! From the beginning and basically in every book of the Bible we can see the truth.
Most people will ask, but why do people keep dying? Born again Christians who are supposed to have the Spirit of Christ in them. The Spirit that raised Christ from the dead that is supposed to give life to our mortal bodies.
You can only ask that question if you have never been preached the truth. Surely you can also ask yourself that question if you have not been born again. The Bible says you can’t hear revelation if someone isn’t preaching it.
For many years the only “truth” for people was the Catholic religion. Luther had to stand up and preach the revelation that you don’t have to pay for your sins. It was in the Bible the whole time. But still, someone had to preach the truth. The same is true of the new revelation. For many years no one spoke in tongues. It was in the Bible all along, but someone had to stand up and preach it.
No different from the word of immortality which is probably the biggest revelation you will ever hear.
The Bible can be very easily misinterpreted due to incorrect translations or translators trying to push their own doctrines. Some very good advice for Bible scholars will be to make sure that the scripture they read is stated by scripture and not something that happens in the world or some preacher’s own interpretation. Always test scripture by reading the context of the entire chapter. Sometimes it will help to read different translations.
1Co 2:9 (KJV) Rather, as it is written: Things that eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered the heart of man, are what God has prepared for those who love him. 1Co 2:10 (KJV) But God has revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.
Welcome to this wonderful Word of God. Today you have come here, to see one of the greatest mysteries and secrets revealed by God.
The Bible says in Deuteronomy 29:29 that “secret things belong to the Lord our God, but revealed things belong to us and to our children forever.”
The Bible is very clear! You’re supposed to be immortal. He says that it is for those who believe and for those who seek it! Stay with me through this amazing teaching and you will be filled with joy and peace forever.
What is the meaning of the word Immortality?
Is it God’s plan for us to die and then go to heaven?
If so, why don’t we die and leave?
What does the Bible say about it?
The word “immortality” in Webster’s dictionary is described as “DEATH EXEMPTION” or “ENDLESS EXISTENCE”. It does not say die and then live or life after death.
Christians will very easily and often quote John 10:10
John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it to the full.
I don’t think they realize what they are quoting.
See the following scriptures:
Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 And when this corruptible has clothed itself with incorruption, and this mortal has clothed itself with immortality, then the word that is written will be fulfilled: Death is swallowed up in victory.
2Co 4:11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh.
It does not say that it will manifest AFTER we have died! He says in mortal flesh. In other words, the meat that is exposed to death. Not the meat that is already dead.
Please read the following scriptures carefully. Note that Paul is talking about 2 groups of people. He says “death works in us, but life in you” two groups.
2Co 4:10 to 14: always keeping in mind the death of the Lord Jesus in the body, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body. Because we who live are always delivered to death for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body. So death works in us, but life in you. Because we, having the same spirit of faith (as it is written: I believed, therefore I spoke); we also believed, and therefore we speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us through Jesus, and he will present us with you.
We know people are dying and therefore most people who don’t get this revelation will say “but why are people still dying today?”
John 6:47 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me has eternal life.
He did not say, whoever believes in ME will die and go to heaven.
Read all of John 6 and see how many times HE says: If you eat My flesh and drink My blood, YOU WILL NEVER DIE!
Jesus says “I am the Bread of Life”. and your fathers ate manna in the desert, and died. This is the Bread that comes down from Heaven, so that man may eat of it and not die.
Doesn’t the Bible say that the last enemy to be subdued and abolished is death?
Can I say this: when you die, you have been conquered by death? You have not defeated or defeated death. Death is only conquered when you live and do not die.
From the beginning, in Genesis, God’s plan for us was to live and not die. The question in the garden was not sin. It was about LIFE and DEATH.
Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God said, You shall not eat of it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.
Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is as one of us, knowing good and evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever,
Genesis 3:23 Therefore Jehovah God sent him out of the Garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he had been taken.
Gen 3:24 And he cast out the man. And he placed cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword that turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
Ps 118:17 I will not die but I will live, and I will count the works and I will count the illustrious works of the Lord.
Ps 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Read all of Ps 118 and try to see the prophetic Word that the psalmist brings.
Acts 13:35 That is why it also says in another psalm: You will not allow your Holy One to see corruption. [to undergo putrefaction and dissolution of the grave]. [Ps. 16:10.]
Acts 13:36 For David, having fulfilled the will, the purpose, and the counsel of God in his own generation, fell asleep. [in death] and was buried among his ancestors, and saw corruption and suffered putrefaction and dissolution [of the grave].
Acts 13:37 But he whom God raised up [to life] I did not see corruption [did not experience putrefaction and dissolution of the grave].
Acts 13:41 Look, scoffers and scoffers, and marvel and perish and disappear; because I am doing a work in your days, a work in which you will never have confidence or believe, [even] if someone [clearly describing it in detail] I declare it to you [Hab. 1:5.]
Why would Paul refer to Habakkuk? What is the context?
Let’s go to Habakkuk and see.
Hab 1:5 Look around you [you, Habakkuk, replied the Lord] among the nations and see! And be surprised! Amazed! Because I am putting into practice a work in your days [such] You wouldn’t believe it if they told you. [Acts 13:40, 41.]
Looking at this, we still struggle to see any context.
Hab 2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and declare it on the tables, so that he who reads it may run.
Hab 2:3 For the vision is still for a certain time, but it speaks to the end, and does not lie. Although late, wait for it; because it will surely come. Will not take long.
Hab 1:12 Are you not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? We will not die.
What is he saying?
The Lord tells Habakkuk: Write the vision, because there is an appointed time, when it will manifest. So no one will believe this. What vision? “WE’LL NEVER DIE”
The word says that not all of us will die before He returns!
Ps 102:18 Let this be recorded for the generation yet to be born, that a people yet to be born will praise the Lord.
Ps 102:20 to hear the groaning and groaning of the captive, to release those condemned to death,
These boys knew that it was not for that time, but for a generation yet to be born.
1 Pet 1:23 You have been regenerated (born again), not from mortal origin (seed, sperm), but from one who is immortal by the ever-living and enduring Word of God.
1Pe 1:24 For all flesh (mankind) is like grass, and all its glory (honor) like [the] grass flower. The grass withers and the flower falls,
1Pe 1:25 But the Word of the Lord (divine instruction, the Gospel) remains forever. And this Word is the good news that has been announced to you. [Isa. 40:6-9.]
Yes, all flesh is like grass, BUT when you are born AGAIN, of the IMMORTAL SEED of GOD, He will renew your strength and your mortal body will be made alive.
Remember that this is only for those who believe!
If it’s still hard to take, try the following script:
Rom 2:7 to those who with perseverance in doing good [springing from piety] look for [unseen but sure] glory and honor and [the eternal blessedness of] immortality, He will give eternal life.
it is in all translations
To those who seek Glory and Honor AND IMMORTALITY, He will give eternal life.
Through the Bible we see that GOD wants us to live.
Deu 30:19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses; therefore choose life, so that you and your descendants may live.
There was a time when people had an appointment with death, but that appointment with death is canceled (Ps 102)
This is just a glimpse of what the Word really says.
