DISEMBODIED SPIRITS

 

 If when you die and become a disembodied spirit this means you have no body. 

Does your spirit have eyes, ears, a nose, a tongue, can you wear a garment, or talk without a mouth and vocal cords or see anything without eyes ?  

According to the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 the saints do not get a new spirit body until the resurrection when Jesus returns so at death we have no body. 

 Jesus said that no man ascends to heaven and I would think descends to hell either.  How can anyone feel pain from hell fire if they have no body ?  On the day of Pentecost the Apostle Peter spoke about King David and said that David’s grave was with them today and that David did not ascend into heaven. Acts2:34

When the saints are resurrected they will have a spirit body that makes them immortal so before they receive this spirit body they must be mortal. How can a mortal spirit live on after death ? 

 Yes, your human spirit is mortal just as your body is mortal.  Remember that GOD withheld immortality from Adam and Eve that was in the tree of life because of sin.  If either body or spirit was immortal then why must this mortal put on immortality ?  The soul is alive but a disembodied spirit is not.  

Humans are mortal, no one, not even the human Jesus was immortal, so how is it that if your mortal you can yet be alive ?  It’s not our spirit or our body that is immortal, it’s the spirit body we receive in the resurrection that makes us immortal.  It says this mortal must put on immortality.  This putting on immortality is compared by Paul to being clothed with this new spirit body. 2 Corinthians 5:1-4   1 Corinthians 15:42-44 and 53-54   Also Philippians 3:20-21  1 John 3:2 gives the time of this event as “when he appears”, the return of Christ.  

The Saints inherit the kingdom and immortality therefore before this they are only heirs not yet inheritors therefore at death we die as an heir waiting for our inheritance.   Ephesians 1:14  1 Peter 1:3-5  Daniel 12:13  Matthew 24:13  2 Timothy 4:7-8  Hebrews 9:15   No human being has ever been immortal and at death there is no life of any kind.  To live again and become immortal requires a resurrection from the dead.
