male and female ?
Deborah-Leigh:
Grape, you are a heavenly delight! ;D
Joe,
All the Saints salute you! :)
Samson, thank you, and John Popovich, for your insights.
I would definitely include that "living in the spirit” is as much Scriptural as is, " living in the flesh." To deny either is to deny the fullness of Christ Who is the Sum Total of Truth.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.
I agree with everything you have observed, Samson.
We are earth vessels of the Kingdom of God. If we seek first the Kingdom of God, then we “emotionally intertwine” with members of the Kingdom of God, in mutual regard of CHRIST, for God, and the things of God, within us.
1Co 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
We are members of His Body with the earnest of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, HIS Spirit, IN us.
Col 1:27 to whom God wanted to make known the glorious riches of this secret among the gentiles-which is Christ IN you, the hope of glory.
The Kingdom has no gender but is ALL OF GOD. It is like asking, is the USA masculine or feminine? Or is Spain a man or woman.
Yes there is Adam and Eve. Yes there is Christ and His Church and yes there is the Spirit and the Bride.
Is Spirit male or female? Why argue? :)
1Co 11:12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but ALL THINGS OF GOD.
Every Blessing of The Kingdom of God, to both you and to John Popovich, Samson

2Co 6:18 "I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the LORD Almighty."
Isn't this speaking that we will be "sons and daughters" of the kingdom as well as now? Well what I was thinking is that in the kingdom we will no longer have those things that hinder us of the flesh, the pulls that cause us to sin, weaknesses and the only authority over any of us will be God.
We will retain our personality and the unique things that makes us individuals. So that makes me think that we will still have the traits of a woman/daughter or a man/son. What I mean is won't we still recognize each other when we are in the kingdom, from what we remembered about us in the physical? So I'm just thinking maybe we will carry with us those things that give us a feminine/masculine personality. Now I don't think there are any Scripture that say such a thing, but this is just something I was thinking about in relation to this topic.
mercy, peace and love
Kat
