What do these three passages indicate?

[JohnD]

2 Corinthians 5:1–8 (NASB95)

1 For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

2 For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven,

3 inasmuch as we, having put it on, will not be found naked.

4 For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life.

5 Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.

6 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord—

7 for we walk by faith, not by sight—

8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

Romans 8:23 (NASB95)

23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

1 Corinthians 5:5 (NASB95)

5 I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

That born again believers are going to heaven when they die.

[gdemoss]

John do you not know and earnestly request an answer or is there something else motivating the question?  Thank you in advance for an open and honest answer to my question that I may know how to answer you!

[Deborah_]

The first two mean that we are anticipating a physical resurrection.

The third one isn't about resurrection as such but about salvation.

1 Corinthians 5:5 (NASB95)

5 I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

 

1.  We know as saints that if we should die and go by way of the grave we have the hope of a new body a glorified body to live in for all eternity.  The body we have now is currently growing old and feeble it is withering away as time keeps going by and it will eventually die a physical death.  The saints have a blessed promise of getting a new glorified body at the resurrection and coming of Christ where that new body will never ever know sickness, pain, diseases, sorrow, nor death ever again our very tears will be wiped away by God Himself,    Our new bodies will never be continually growing old like it does in this life as we will have right to the tree of life.  As I have grown older in my body age has made me groan for a new body.  Scripture tells us that "we came naked into this world and naked we will go out"  But we shall be clothed again with a new glorified body to live in for all eternity that death cannot touch.  What a blessed promise.

2.  Christ purchased our earthly bodies on the cross as saints we literally belong to God as we also have been made the sons of God we have been sealed by the Holy Spirit as one of his own.  As saints we are eagerly awaiting his return and the redemption of our earthly bodies to wit or come to pass at the first resurrection of the righteous dead when the righteous dead will be resurrected first and receive their redemption of their bodies to take place getting their new body first.  Then those who are alive and remain on the earth at that time will be changed and given their glorified bodies in the moment of a twinkling of an eye.  This is what we are waiting on to happen  the redemption or resurrection of our bodies to take place

3.  This verse of scripture is from the passage where it teaches the church should NOT allow people in the church to remain if they are in any kind of sexual immorality any type of sex outside of marriage.  The church is instructed to put such people out of the church in the hope they will come to repentance and be restored to right fellowship with Christ body.  Again our bodies belong to Christ and we should NOT take the temple of God and join it with idols.

Begging your pardon, but this is all commentary without scripture citation. Commentary [can] be true when it aligns with cited scriptures (the Holy Spirit-interpretation of which defines whether it is true or not).

I cited scripture. Commented little.

 

[AllTheGoodNamesAreTaken]

Hi John, but to be fair Openly Curious was answering your question regarding these passages in their own understanding. Since you had already cited the passages you had questions about, I really see no need to have them recited again. Love you all !

[Ezra]

God's plan of salvation includes the redemption and perfection of our bodies, our souls, and our spirits.  Our bodies will be redeemed or perfected into glorious spiritual bodies at the Resurrection/Rapture.  Bodies are the houses (or tabernacles) for souls and spirits and will remain immortal after they are transformed.

When Paul spoke of the "destruction of the flesh" in connection with a sinning brother, he was referring to the ravaging of the physical body by probably some kind of disease, so that this man would be punished in his body, yet his soul and spirit would be safe. And ultimately this man would also be resurrected in a glorious spiritual body.  The Bible teaches that Christians who persist in sin can expect physical penalties, including premature death.

Well JohnD I'm having to beg your pardon.  Because you asked the question in the title of your thread "What do these three passages indicate"?  You asked for the meaning of the three passages of scripture in your OP you did not ask for scripture references only.

What part of my reply does not align up with the scriptures you gave.  You commented nothing just cited scripture.  Makes me question why you want to know if you really don't.

Because "Flesh And Blood Can Not INHERIT The Kingdom Of God" (?)

Our flesh is Redeemed (bought back) in the Adoption as sons of God. (animal sacrifices being for 'the purification of the flesh')

- Going into heaven with-in Resurrected flesh which will be changed.

- And, those who are not Resurrected, but Raptured 'The Great Multitude' will wash their Robes White In The Blood Of The Lamb.  (6th Seal)

Israel already had eternal-spiritual salvation. As John & Jesus came preaching repentance for the remission of sins; no death of Jesus needed.

But Israel would not accept that their flesh could live in heaven too. As not even all of Israel believed there was a Resurrection or spirits or Angels or life after death of the flesh.

So Jesus came to show them God as their Father, Redeeming their flesh by His blood in exchange He bought their flesh back as before the fall.
