What is the name written in the book of life?

[4afaithfulone]

Would it make sense to have a long list of John or Mary Smiths who have ever lived? No, it is more personal than that. It is our DNA that is written in the book of life. That is why our bones are very important and why they do not dissolve like our flesh does after death. Even Jesus' same body was resurrected. Of course he needed to have his wounds to prove who he was, but that does not change the fact that his own bones were there and not one broken.
Our DNA is in the marrow and tells us what features we each have. The spirit of a man resides in their bloodline(not blood type). That is why the Spirit of God is represented by the wine, the blood of Christ who proceeded from The Father. The Word of God is Spirit and is the Seed of God to give us our birthright as children of God.
It is the seed of a man that gives us our bloodline, that is why male animals mate with every female he can to spread his seed, to exalt his bloodline to be the sole/soul survivor (beastly image like Cain). He will even kill another males offspring to plant his own seed/bloodline in the female.
God said the “life” of the flesh is in the blood. This can not mean that we only loose our life if we loose our blood, for a man can die in his sleep without shedding a drop. No, this life means the spirit resides in our blood. The Breath of life, is the Ruach or Spirit of life, Jesus is the Word of life That is how we are raised from the dead(spiritually) and made alive or of the Living because we have been reunited to the Living God.
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
KJV
Gen 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
KJV
Lev 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
KJV
That is why the blood of animals was accepted & required to atone for our sins of our sinful beastly nature in the fallen Adam.
But in Christ, we are no longer to live in the image of our beastly nature, for we now have the Spirit(bloodline) and the Seed(The Word of God whom is The Christ of God) in our circumcised hearts to be born again from above.
The bones of the patriarchs were all buried in the bosom of Abraham and their bones were given flesh on the very day that Jesus paid the sin debt, and they were released. Abraham seen his day and looked forward to it!
John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
KJV

They are the dry bones that came back to life, coming out of the graves in the earthquake(there was a noise, and hehold a shaking Ez.37:7) and walked around in the city.

Ezek 37:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. KJV
Ezek 37:12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
KJV
Isa 26:19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
KJV

Here is when that happened:


Matt 27:50 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.
KJV

We give up our physical bloodline when we are baptized and born again. Our DNA has no part in our salvation or resurrection. It is an attribute of our flesh, the dust of the earth from which we were formed.

So are you saying that the bloodline through Abraham to Jesus is invalid? Are you of the blessed seed of Abraham?
We were all from one blood at one time, God's Spirit before the fall.

Rom 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
KJV
Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
KJV
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
KJV
Acts 17:26
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

Bones?
What happens to the ones that were buried at sea?
Fish eat it all up.
What about the World Trade Center, nothing but ashes?
1Cor.15:50
Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God..

Ecc.12:6,7
When one dies,
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was,
And the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Home sweet home

Rev.2:17
To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

 

[Gary]

No, it is more personal than that. It is our DNA that is written in the book of life.

Actually the Word of God says "names". Names are what is in the Book of Life, not DNA. DNA has nothing to do with the contents of the heart and that's what God searches.

To say it is DNA is saying no one has a choice as to where they spend eternity because God is the One that gave them that DNA. Unless of course an individual is able to alter they're DNA during the course of their life, but as far as I know, that's not possible.

That is why our bones are very important and why they do not dissolve like our flesh does after death.

Actually they do. There are passages in the bible that attest to that. Our physical bodies are simply vessels that house the spirit.

Hello dianegcook,
What about them? God protects the bones of His own. Jesus was resurrected with his bones and flesh right? Was he a spirit after his resurrection? No.
True, Flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, meaning our old fallen carnal nature being led of our flesh, those who are considered dead to God. If you have not been born again, then you would be considered the dead, as in "Let the dead bury their own dead" and you can not inherit the kingdom of God, nor can you see it even.
You must be born of the Spirit to inherit the kingdom of God which is WITHIN you. An unclean spirit is dead, but the Spirit of God gives us life and life NOW more abundantly according to your spirits growth in Christ, The Word.
Do keep in mind, that all the small and the great, will stand before God in the GWTJ to be judged out of THE BOOKS, and the book of life, and will go to their chosen(by their actions) destination. He will gather them from the sea and where ever they are.God created the earth for habitation of His man.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
KJV
Isa 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. KJV
Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
KJV
1 Kings 13:31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
KJV
Ps 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
KJV

This statement rules out DNA as being in the Book of Life in place of names.

Just a thought.

Ever hear the term, Bad blood? Or of good stalk? Talking about the character of ones bloodline? Why it is that we can see the quality of an animal lets say from the bloodline?. DNA is in our blood and reveals everything detail about us. The spirit resides in our blood. That is why blood is sacred, why Abel's blood had a voice and cried out and why we should not be mixing our blood with other's. Well, God knew He hated Cain even before he was born! God is the one who forms our spirit within us.
Zech 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
KJV
So do you believe that Jesus received his bloodline when The Word became flesh, from Joseph, whom Mary had not had any relations with, or is Jesus' bloodline from the Father by the Spirit?

The Bible says "name" not DNA.You are speculating.

Hello 4afaithfulone
Hope today finds you well.
One can not grasp things of another dimension.
Moses and the folks in the wilderness ate angel food.
The story of Elisha and his servant which was surrounded by an army.,
Fear not, for they which be with us are more than they that be with them.
Elisha ask God to open the servants eyes.
Thus, He opened his eyes, (spiritually, other dimension)
Thus the young man saw horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
Then He smote the army with blindness.
Elisha led them to Samaria.
Then their eyes were opened again.

2King.6:13-20

We give up our physical bloodline when we are baptized and born again. Our DNA has no part in our salvation or resurrection. It is an attribute of our flesh, the dust of the earth from which we were formed.

So are you saying that the bloodline through Abraham to Jesus is invalid? Are you of the blessed seed of Abraham?
We were all from one blood at one time, God's Spirit before the fall.

Nope. I'm saying that the physical bloodline expressed in DNA is invalid for everyone but Jesus. Jesus is the Blessed Seed of Abraham, and because Jesus had no physical offspring to pass on His DNA, the only way we can be of Him, a child of The Son of God, is as spiritual offspring. For this we are born again when we receive the Holy Spirit to replace our fallen Adamic spirit. We do not receive new DNA.

Biblical symbolism can be confusing when physical blood is used to symbolize non physical spirit as contrasted with physical flesh.
