the truth is
there is a NEW LIFE FORMED AS A NEW CREATION, FROM A NEW COVENANT and you will never hear it sitting in a church jailhouse on a pew seat.
The Doctrine of Death
John 8:51
Yeshua sayings revolve around the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN - He preached and nothing else.....
The statements of Jesus concerning eternal life were so startling to the hearers of his day that they thought him insane and dangerous and sought to kill him.
We must ask ourselves why his words concerning eternal life provoked such a response.
This violent reaction is in marked contrast to the way in which Christians today receive his words.
As a result of 2,000 years of religious programming and false teaching, Christians today interpret Jesus’ words in a way that nullifies and robs them of their power.
What we see reflected in the theologies of all Christian denominations is the common sense understanding which declares:
“He could not have meant physical death because, after all, everybody dies”.
Thus begins the process whereby the powerful statements of faith proclaimed by the Word of God -- and there is no statement more powerful than the promise that believers can overcome death -- are interpreted in light of the collective experience of Christians who were never exposed to the truth.
Christians die because the necessary precondition for conquering death, which is an overcoming faith, is not encouraged and then the fact that Christians die just like unbelievers is used, in turn, to justify the doctrine of death.
The religious system, which God calls Babylon in the book of Revelation, teaches that immortality applies after we experience a physical death and relates basically to an afterlife.
This makes the concept of immortality contradictory, if not absurd.
If immortality becomes effectual after we die, why did Jesus need to bring it to light via the gospel called the GOODNEWS?
To the Hebrew people, there would have been nothing radical about the proclamation of an afterlife – certainly nothing that would produce scandal, shock and provoke persecution.
If the Father, through Jesus, was merely ushering in a new, glorified after-life for believers as the system teaches in its interpretation of the scripture:
why does the writer of the book of Hebrews describe the heroes of faith in the Old Testament and then go on to say that this cloud of witnesses surrounds believers in the flesh looking to us in the here and now to bring them into perfection
(Heb. 11 and 12)?
This tells me that the focus of the saints in the spirit realm is on the saints who are still in their physical bodies.
Why?
They are looking to us to accomplish in the flesh that which they could not attain to in their lifetimes – victory over death.
If the ministry of Jesus was to cleanse us from sin so that, after we die, we can enjoy eternity with God, why was he the Passover Lamb?
The blood of the Passover lamb in the Old Testament was a covering to protect the children of Israel from the angel of death and was a type of Jesus’ true ministry: to deliver us from death, in all its forms, by delivering us from sin.
