Is it possible to stay indefinitely alive till rapture? Definitely yes.

Follow me as I show you how.


WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT DEATH

John 8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.


John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 11:26 An[b]d whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. [/b]Believest thou this?



In the first scripture above, Jesus said those who keeps his words will never taste death.The question we should ask is this : did he mean physical or spiritual death? He couldn't have meant spiritual death because all men were born spiritually dead. That is why there is need for being born again.


In the second scripture, Jesus said if a man is alive and believes in him he will never die.The question we should ask again is this: was Jesus talking about physical or spiritual death?Here again we see clearly for two reasons that he was talking about physical death.

1. He was exhorting someone whose brother had physically died.
2. He said he was the resurrection. He proved it by resurrecting Lazarus who had physically died. Moreover, only people who had physically died get resurrected. To resurrect means to bring back to physical life after experiencing physical death.

The above shows clearly that Jesus was talking about physical death.



WHAT PAUL SAID ABOUT DEATH

Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.


The question we should ask again is this: is this referring to physical or spiritual death. The answer to that question is physical death for a number of reasons.


In order to see the first reason we must read down and see the scripture in context

Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Verse fifteen tells us that the death referred to is the one for whose fear "men
are for their lifetime held in bondage."

This is talking clearly about physical death.Mankind is afraid of physica death and he is in fact in bondage to that fear.


The second reason why this refers to physical death is because Jesus never tasted spiritual death. Jesus is the Word of God that became a human being (John1:1). 1 Peter1:23 tells us that the Word of God " liveth and abideth forever". This means the word of God can never die.

I am aware that there is a school of thought that believes that Jesus died spiritually because he said in Mark15:34, "My God , my God, why has thou forsaken me?"

But the following scripture clearly tells us that Jesus never for a second stopped being good from the time of his birth up until he ascended to heaven.

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.


Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh, preached unto the Gentiles and received into glory.


When God query Adam after he ate the forbidden fruit, Adam accused God of being the cause of his sin. Adam said it was the woman that God gave him that led him into sin (Genesis3:12).That was why God decided to take responsibility for the SIN of man. When Jesus Christ was born he was God in human flesh. He died as God, suffered as God, rose up from the dead as God, ascended into heaven as God. That was how God gave a final response to Adam's accusation.



We see then that Jesus never tasted spiritual death. He only tasted physical death.So, when the Bible says Jesus tasted death for every man, it was talking about physical death. The truth of the matter is this: No man need taste physical death again. Jesus already tasted it for every man just as he suffered for every man's sin. So, there is absolutely no reason for any man who has given his life to Christ to taste physical death again. You already have in you the resurrection and the life!


Before closing on this it is imperative for us to look at one other thing Paul said about death.

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:


This scripture does not apply to born again christians because it definitely does not apply to men who are alive when rapture occur. Those Christians will simply be transfigured.



WHY CHRISTIANS STILL DIE
Christians still die because of two main reasons.

1. Many are still subject to bondage due to the fear of physical death.

2. Most choose to die.




DEATH FOR CHRISTIANS IS A CHOICE


Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
1:22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
1:24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
1:25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

In the above scripture Paul treats death as a thing of choice. He stated that he could choose to stay alive for the sake of the brethren or die and be with the Lord in glory.



Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

The above scripture says a man who confesses death has chosen to die. If you
as a Christian believe and confess that you will die. You have gazetted yourself for death.

MJBOLT:

abeg shut up,if e sure your god let him blow the trumpet let war between heaven and earth happen.that redundant heaven where the soldiers still use swords,spears,bow and arrows,on earth we have guns that will wipe out everybody in heaven,we have ICBMs,nuclear warheads and fighter jets even your jesus could not survive hammer and nails

Is this a joke or what ? If you read your Bible well enough you will discover that Jesus would destroy all opposers at his second coming by speaking words.

Watch for my tread in the religion section titled "Let's talk about Gods" there you will learn that Gods CREATE by speaking words; Gods DO by speaking words; and that Gods PERFORM by speaking words.

Mistakemaker:
Then what do the fg stand to gain by keeping it in the exclusive list and suffering the people.. To me states should be allowed to generate power and supply their states, you will find out some states will have stable electricity

During his ministerial screening,fashola made it clear that the Constitution allowstue state government to generate, transmit and distribute electricity.

OAU...Hmmmm okay thanks bro... But will like to know if the department produce first class »» Reason why I ask is you know how wicked & Dark minded some lecturer can be...

Oau never offered mass communication

BREYZ:
SO YOU DIDNT ASK QUESTIONS? YOU DID IT YOURSELF? I DOUBT

Somebody already gave detailed information above.


It is straight forward. A two step process. You first do a name seach for three different names at N700 naira to find out if
one or more of the names have not already been registered by someone else. That is called name search.

If the name search is successful , you then proceed to register a successfully searched name( name not already registered by someone else). Register at on of name cost about N10,000.


Let him just follow the detailed instructions already given by someone above

This is absolutely not true!

You can't complete the process on your own!

CAC itself has empowered 3rd party guys to be doing the process and you have to go through them.

That's not true. I completed the process by myself.

oluwaseyi0:
To go to heaven to do what exactly?

Remember all that will be done in heaven is a repetitive monotheistic hailing of God

What will one do when he get bored after 145 years,
The mere thought of been stuck in that is creepy and not what any sane human should look forward to

Remember you won't grow older or younger, you are simply stuck, and not so many activities to ensure you are not bored, you'll probably live in one house that Jesus prepare for you ... forever

No changing to a bigger or better apartment, no amusement parks or interesting show, no reasonable job, you eat all day and shit and grow overly fat

Also how will some parents cope in hell when their thirteen years old daughter is stuck in hell over mundane offences while the parents are in heaven, rejoicing?

.


The ultimate and final destination is the new earth that comes into existence after this present earth has been destroyed. The current heaven is just like a waiting room where people will stay until they get ushered into the new earth. Believe me when I tell you, the new earth will be a fun place.

lol... praying in tongue indeed.

Nigga need real help. There are reasons for prophets. It's not every battle you can take on. Even Micheal needs another archangel to set him free in the book of Daniel.

@Op, visit any Celestial church. May God help you.

It has happened to me before and that is how I stopped it. See the thread below.

This has happened to me before.

The solution is simple. Get filled with the holy spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

Pray in tongues about it for about an hour.

Next destroy it from it's very root in English. Forget about it after the prayer. Believe it has been destroyed


Pray in tongues for at least one-hour every day for the rest of your life. If for any reason you are unable to pray in tongue in a particular day, don't let it boarder you, pray the next day.

Summary, people go to hell because of what they are and not because of what they did.

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ threw "shade" at MOGs( back then they were the Teachers of the law, Scribes and Priests of His day) older than His father.

Do not confuse your cultural ideas and rules with the New Covenant that is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ never commanded respect for elders. He called us to speak out against the doctrines and traditions of men.

God's word commands us to respect our elders.

1 Timothy 5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;



Jesus was way way older than the scribes and Pharisees. He is the pre-existing word of God that became a human being.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.



John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

John 8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.


Besides that, Jesus was the rightful heir to the throne of David; he was their king. 3 wise men from the East had announced at his birth that a child was born who is the king of the Jews


Also, he was the Son of their (the Hebrew's) God.


So, he had the right to rebuke the scribes and the Pharisees on many levels.

new2012:
If you deduce all that from the statement, then bro, You need help.

Hatred and malice has completely sealed your brain.
Bless your heart!

Pastor Adeboye was only obeying the following scripture.




Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

13:5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

13:6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

alBHAGDADI:
He didn't react well to the crisis but cower to government tyranny like a lazy dog with tail between legs.

What did he do when he finally had the opportunity to display the miracles he's boasted of for decades? E decided to wear face shield against COVID-19 which shows that the healing power he claims to have is fraud.

Don't you know that the Apostles of Jesus were killed for not obeying government policies which were against the church? Adeboye doesn't want to die nor lose his empire, that's why he complied.

I'm not surprised because I know he's fake. His type deserve the blackest of darkness in the lake of fire for receiving millions.

Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.

Kobojunkie:
The only one who can define what sin is is God Himself as His commandments and there are no commandments that suggest intoxication a sin.

Paul may have an opinion about it and may be a follower of Jesus Christ but Paul is not God and Paul does not have power to define sin.

Hear Paul as he declare his words as the words of God.



1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

What sort of Christian believes that the words of Paul are not the words of God.

So all those epistles of Paul, peter, James , Jude and John are not God's word?

Kobojunkie:
since the definition is subjective, how do you prove that He was or was not?

Since it is possible for one man to drink a jug of beer without getting drunk while another is able to take a sip and loose his balance, how do in fact know without seeing the situation for yourself?

Since it is in fact possible for one man to eat huge meals without gaining a since pound while another man may consume what a baby does and pack on loads of pounds, how do you tell which of the two is a glutton unless you see it for yourself?

So, if Jesus said He came eating and drinking, I believe He meant it

Eating beyond one's fill is glutony.Drinking to the point of intoxication is drunkenness

Kobojunkie:
did you see Him eating and drinking for you to tell?

Did you see him eating and drinking for you to tell he was drunk?

Kobojunkie:
He was never drunk? Now you are lying!

Show me a scripture that says he was drunk.

Kobojunkie:
The only one who can define what sin is is God Himself as His commandments and there are no commandments that suggest intoxication a sin.

Paul may have an opinion about it and may be a follower of Jesus Christ but Paul is not God and Paul does not have power to define sin.

So, the words of Paul are not the words of God. Why are they in the Bible? Bible says "holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the holy spirit."


2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.


Paul spoke those words under the inspiration or moving of the holy Spirit and so it is the word of God.

Minjim:
Lol!
You deliberately interpreted the Bible literally to foster your sinister motives.

I know people like you.

Jesus doesn't speak literally, He speaks in parables. As such, there is always a story behind His words

Jesus never spoke in parable hundred percent percent of the time. In the above case he was definitely not speaking in parable. It will be obvious to you if you read the scripture in context. The contrast he struck with John was a valid contrast. John lived on wild locust and honey.

Matthew 3:4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. Mark 1:6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;





Luke 7:31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

7:32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

7:35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

Kobojunkie:
absurdity ke? Luke 7 vs 34

Luke 7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!


That Jesus ate and drank does not mean he was a glutton nor wine biber.

Kobojunkie:
absurdity ke? Luke 7 vs 34

That Jesus ate and drank does not mean he was a glutton nor wine biber.

Kobojunkie:
Not according to the Bible.

Even those who did not like Jesus Christ noted that He was a glutton and a drunk... And no, they were not lying that He liked His alcohol

Let's not try now to lie or put a spin on what is written as if it is our job to fight for God in even these things.

Jesus Christ was never drunk

Matthew 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. Luke 7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!


That he was called a glutton and a winebibber doesnt mean he was one.

The same people also once said he was demon possessed. Does that mean he was demon possessed?



Luke 11:15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. 11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. 11:18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. 11:19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. 11:20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

Terryishere:
Ok.

Intoxication is definitely a sin.



1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

Kobojunkie:
Intoxication is not a sin at all.

Intoxication is definitely a sin.



1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.


The holy spirit inspired Paul to say the above.

SmartyPants:
Bail is a right.

Sorry not all offences are bailable.

I am not a lawyer but I believe murder is one of them

The summary of the whole matter is this: you are rich. You own vast and limitless inheritance.

Never, ever, call yourself poor. Bill gates, and Dangote do not come anywhere close to where you are in wealth and affluence.


Your wealth and riches are reserved safely in heaven for you. All you need to do is to transfer them from heaven to earth in order to enjoy them. All the good things of life belongs to you by right of inhertance.

Don't ever try to be rich. You will woefully fail at it. You cant't become what you already are.

Declare by faith that you are enjoying them now and your fauthd confession will be transformed to reality.
