Laren:
It does help some, but I read on an old post from Joe H. that the resurrection in I Corinth. 15 only refers to the resurrection of overcomers, not for non overcomers.  The resurrection  I Corinth 15 says

1Co 15:42  So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption
 
1Co 15:43  It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory, it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power (same here):

1Co 15:44  It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.

There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

1Co 15:45  And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.


I appreciate Marie and Angie and Kat for your posts, and I'll for now just trust in Him to cleanse all, just not fully seeing how this happens.

Angie,

I know this is off the subject, but it just popped into my head when I read your post.

Concerning oxygen. I read once that because of the vast trillions upon trillions of oxygen molecules that we breath in during our lifetimes, and the way that they (and all gas molecules) distribute themselves in the lower atmosphere, it is highly problematic, in fact almost certain, that we at some time in our lives, will breath in an oxygen molecule that Jesus also breathed into his lungs. Not sure if it's true, but its interesting eh?

I know... WHY do these things "pop" into your head chuck?... not sure.... ???

Well if we are to have the same mind, why not oxygen molecules too!  ;D

I had to go to work earlier and was thinking about what you said about the no oxygen- I agreed with you, but couldn't get my mind off the parallels. I kept asking myself how oxygen/air was like the Spirit of God.

Then it hit me and I realised the answer was in the question all the time :o

Like in  1Pe 1:24

"...All flesh is as [like] grass" [in certain ways]"  And so:

The Spirit of God is [like] air/oxygen [in certain ways]   

E.g they both sustain life, and just as we can't exist physically without oxygen, neither can we exist spiritually without the Spirit of God. He is our sustainer, He gives us spiritual life and body. We live in Him and of Him, with Him in us, just as in the flesh, we live in air/oxygen, and have it in every single cell that makes up our body.

I keep being reminded of the principal:

First the physical, THEN the spiritual. Everything spiritual is foreshadowed by something [like it] in the physical. Is this making the same sense to you as it is to me or have I lost the plot completely?  ???

It just kinda felt like a revelation when that 'flesh is grass' bit popped into my head, given that I haven't even read that book of the bible yet but vaguely remembered Ray saying something about it in one of his papers on BT. 

Jesus was flesh outwardly, but spiritual inwardly, which is why the real Spirit of God [and not a 'puff of air'] could lead him into the wilderness.

Well, I gave it my best shot!  ;D

Kat:
Angie,

yes I 'see' what your saying  :)
I was thinking about it too.

Oxygen is a good way to look at the Spirit,
being in all living things.
I think that through the things in nature (like the shadow),
it can help us understand the things of the spirit.

We've been going back and forth on this subject,
but this is a good thing.

Pro 27:17  Just as iron sharpens iron, friends sharpen the minds of each other.

mercy, peace,and love
