To be absent from the body...

Hello All,

This is my first post.

I think it makes this verse much clearer if we read from 2 Cor 5:1   to verse 10. When I have discussd this with others, it seems to easier to consider in terms of preferring the Kingdom with a Spiritual body after  Christ returns.
 v1   ... if our earthly house of this tabenacle is dissolved,  we have a building , (or body)  an house not made with hands (Spiritual), eternal in the heavens.

Very good Vic.  It does make things a little clearer.  I didn't realize that this verse fell within this chapter.  I have read this passage many times and never made the 'connection.'  Thanks

Hello Everyone!

Arcturus,

We are in TOTAL agreement on who is more IMPORTANT. The purpose of my originial post was not to imply that God is secondary to His creation (infact, I posted a few weeks ago on my understanding of this issue in a thread 'God does not react, He acts!') I was simply stating what Paul himself stated. My apologies if it sounded like anything else but that.

Redbird & Vic,

I also had not thought of this particuliar verse in that light... your insight has helped my understanding a great deal. Thanks!

God's Peace
Josh

Welcome to the forum. I am new too. This has been so great - it is amazing to see God at work in all of us!

Peace.
