' 1 BIBLE I ™E TRUTH I I II OF ■ GOD JJI ' THE LORD " (2 Cor. 5 :t>-8.) WE have been -requested to publish an explanation of tho above passage of be ipture It Is impossible, however, in the limited o at our disposal to give a "full «planat on" as our correspondent desires. \\c commend to his earnest attention our book "Christendom Astray" and believe »»'»» « lf \ w has carefully read and studied what »8 advanced therein he will have no difflciilty in understanding Paul's words quoted above Many people read the above passage on the ass million that the doctrine of tho immortality of he soul (disembodied life) is taught in the Bible. That is a fatal mistake. Ihe doctrU of the immortality of the soul is not a Bible doctrine-t is a d, octr\ n,V f n n " m on oricln Brletlv, the Bible teaches that all men So both Christians and non-Christans alike, and when dead are really dead nnd know nothing (Roms. r. :12, Ecc. !>..», Psa. O.j, li-a. 115-17 Psa 140:3-4). The true Christian, however, will nt the return of Christ to earth bo raised from the dead and will be made immortal, i.e.. he will become possessed ot .m immortal physical body. (1 Thcss. 4:lh. 1 Coi. if.-I•'-•''■! Rev 20:0. I Cor. l;):51-a-l, Ann. 3:2012 i; Luke 20-.33-S0). He will THEN bo "present with the Lord" for »« will reign with the Lord in the Kingdom ot God Chi Ist will cstrtDllsh on earth when Ho comes Rev. 11:15. Acts 17:31. Matt. 2.. :S4 2 111n. 1.1.. Rev 20 :C, Rev. 5:9-10, Rev. 2:2b-27. 1 toi. fi-2). It follows, therefore, that believers will not be "absent" from this present mortal bocb nor "present with the Lord" until Christ returns to the earth and they become possessed of the immortal body promised. Hence 1-aul could write of believers. "Whilst we iire at home in the body (i.e.. whilst we remain with a mortal body) we arc absent from the Lord f but when we arc "absent from the boil} (1.c.. no longer mortal but immortal) we shall bo "present With the Lord." The ApostJo Paul certainly never contemplated the ulesi of being disembodied immortal souls, without "body, parts, or passions," being with Christ in heaven. Actually there is no such thing as a disembodied immortal soul, no such thing as disembodied life.
