Just as there is not a single scriptural basis for the church of God coming to earth after it meets The Lord in the air.
I've asked multiple times to explain how the church of God is in heaven before the Lord's coming...
Nothing..
Gave it (from scripture)you just won't accept the answer......Again when one dies they autmatically return to God....They come back to earth for the simple fact,that is where Christ will come
And of course this makes no sense at all... Because we'd have only part of the church of God in heaven at the marriage of the Lamb... Is that what you believe, that only the dead in Christ will be at the wedding and those that remain will not be there ?
Then of course I have asked why the dead in Christ would need to be raised first if they're already in their spiritual bodies... I'd love to hear your answer for that one but will certainly not be expecting you to answer it.
the first resurrection has already begun, when Jesus rose in the flesh so did the saints in the graves matt 27 and since Jesus has risen so do rise to Him as we die flesh and raise in spiritual bodies I cor 15. no need for the soul to sleep but we are as the angels in heaven.
the church is already partly in heaven and will return WITH Him at the 2nd advent zech14,I thess4:13-14,jude1:14-15,rev 19 when He returns after the tribulation matt 24:29-31
Matthew 27:50-54
King James Version (KJV)
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold,
the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;52
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying,
Truly this was the Son of God.
1 Corinthians 15:40-45
King James Version (KJV)
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.42
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:44
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body,
and there is a spiritual body.45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:49-50
King James Version (KJV)
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.50 Now this I say, brethren, that
flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
acts 7
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Ecclesiastes 12:6-7
King James Version (KJV)
6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Mark 12:24-27
King James Version (KJV)
24 And Jesus answering said unto them,
Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
Matthew 22:29-32
King James Version (KJV)
29 Jesus answered and said unto them,
Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
John 11:24-26
King James Version (KJV)
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.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:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
when Christ Jesus returns we who are alive and remain join Him/them in the AER=breath =g4151= spirit NOT 3772 sky thought the angels will carry believers to Him where He is after the tribulation not before.believers can't precede those saved dead in heaven as they died and are already there in their own order.
