Why did Adam and Eve need immortal souls and when did they get them?

Answered by BibleQ . February 23, 2013 - 11:38 pm 1

Adam and Eve didn’t have immortal souls. In fact, the typical idea of an “immortal soul” isn’t one that’s from the Bible (see the answer to ‘How is “soul” used in the Bible?‘). Like our ancestors Adam and Eve (Gen. 2:17; 3:19), all people are mortal (1 Cor. 15:21-22). We live for the duration of […]

Does our soul sleep after death until the return of Jesus?

Answered by BibleQ . December 8, 2012 - 1:57 pm 1

Thank you for this list of verses that you have provided showing that after death we are in a state of unconsciousness. At Christ’s return there will be a resurrection to judgement of the righteous and unrighteous. “You shall not surely die” is said by the serpent, not by God. Death is real. Psalm 13:3; […]

Where did Christ’s physical resurrected body go in the Ascension?

Jesus Christ’s resurrected body was/is part of him – you can’t separate Jesus from his body. Jesus is at the right hand of God in heaven. Jesus’ disciples were frightened when they saw him after his resurrection? Jesus said to them (Luke 24:37-43): But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit. […]

Will I know my parents in Heaven and how old will they be? Will they be as I remember them?

Answered by BibleQ . August 2, 2012 - 10:26 pm 3

When people are resurrected and made immortal, they will not be dying creatures, so they will be perfect. They will look young always, even when they are thousands of years old. Jesus tells us: those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are […]

What did Paul mean when he said he was “out of due time”? (1 Cor 15:8)

Answered by BibleQ . May 31, 2012 - 10:43 pm

In the context, Paul had been talking about all of the groups of people who had seen Jesus after he was resurrected (1 Corinthians 15:3-7). These all seem to have been in the 40 days after Jesus was raised before he was taken into heaven. However, Paul knew that Jesus had only appeared to him long […]

What is the difference between thinking something will happen and hoping that something will happen?

Answered by BibleQ . May 25, 2012 - 2:36 pm

Today when we talk of ‘hope’, we might say “I hope I win the Lotto”. We are not always confident that what we hope for will actually happen. But this meaning is not quite the same as the way ‘hope’ is often used in Scripture. ‘Hope’ is a vital theme in the New Testament. The […]

What does the Bible tell us to confirm that Jesus rose from the dead?

Will any Gentiles be saved during the tribulation?

Answered by BibleQ . April 25, 2012 - 3:56 am

The idea of a period of tribulation preceeding is based upon a section of the Olivet Prophecy, which reads as follows: For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days had not been cut short, […]

What does 1 Corinthians 15:51 mean?

Answered by BibleQ . April 11, 2012 - 1:14 am 1

1 Cor 15:51 says “Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed”. The idea of sleep is used by the NT writers to describe the death of believers. Just in the same way that when you go to sleep, you are unconscious but when you wake […]

What does Paul’s phrase, “to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord” mean?

Answered by BibleQ . February 7, 2012 - 2:04 pm 1

Relevant verses: 2Co 5:1-10 For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (2) For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, (3) if indeed by putting it on […]
