MORE ON THE IMMORTAL SOUL
Chris R:
Its the comma,
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee To day, shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Yes Christ said to him on "that day" Thou shalt be with me in paradise,
So if i said to you today, that you will die, as all men eventually do...does that mean that you will die today?...of course not.
Best way i can explain part of your question.

Dean Peterman:
Thank you everyone for helping me.
It is amazing when I look at the replies and how widely dispersed people are. I am getting help from all over the country and even the world. Keep the insights coming. They are very helpful.
Sincerely,
Dean

Hi Chris,
There is a wonderful witness to your placement of the comma, and that is that Christ himself did not (as far as we are told) return to heaven to be with his Father immediately following his death. Christ walked this earth before the crucification as a 100% human mand. When he died, his spirit returned to the one whom gave it just as our spirit will likely return when we die.
Mar 15:37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
Ghost - ek-pne'-ō (Key) [G1606]
1) to breathe out, breathe out one's life, breathe one's last, expire
Which is in perfect agreement with the following:
Ecc 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Kind of deflates the argument of whether or not the forgiven criminal did or not got to paradise that same day, when Christ himself did not return to his Father until much later. (Acts 1:1-11)
Even given this, could not the "paradise" mentioned by Christ refer to the coming Earthly paradise, foretold by Christ? :)
Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven.
Love in Christ,
Darren
DizzyD:
Rodger,
I think I know what the problem with Dean is He believes the immortal soul and the spirit are one and the same
Falconn003:
Dizzy
I agree with you.
Many inserts from Ray's articles and scriptures from the Word of God, explaining this spirit = soul fallacy, were sincerly posted to his thread. Yet.....YET.... now he thinks a 2nd streamline thread on the imortal soul is needed. ((brillant)) This i do not even get ???
