You are right, it is our "body" that will be resurrected not our spirit which is what we are. Who is the body of Christ here on this earth? We are who are living in these temporary physical bodies. Who is the body of Christ in Heaven right now? Who's body are we in? We are in Jesus Christ in Heaven, and he has a super natural spiritual body. Jesus Christ is our body in Heaven!!!! We are his body on earth!!!!
Someday we will receive a new super natural body of our own where in our spirit dwells forever!!!
Correct, but when we die as soul and spirit we are only sleeping in Jesus awaiting the first resurrection.
Eph 2:6 has Holy Spirit written all over it. It has nothing to do with the afterlife. Do a study brother. I challenge you.
Brother I have been studying this scripture for almost 40 years. There is no way it does not talk about what and where the Church is today.
Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
It is very simple, you either believe it, or you don't believe it. There are no hidden secret messages in this verse. It is all self explanatory.

Yes, and where does his Grace come from. From the river of life in us brother, through the Holy Spirit.
It talks about the blessings of the Holy Spirit that dwells inside us. It has absolutely nothing to do with the afterlife.
Yes, and we will come to life at the first resurrection. They came to life...
Rev 20:4 NIV I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Well, it's not breath and life. It's rather breath of life. How does breath and wind have a body, eyes, hands, feet, legs etc..
That alone should tell him he is bringing unorthodox beliefs here.
Our spirit beings have access to heaven. We are not in heaven.
But we are not sleeping !
Scripture says we sleep, but we're actually not? How does that work.
Breath of life is not our spirit man.....I give up. You believe what you want and we shall believe what we want and one day maybe we all will believe what God wants.
And the only reason we have a spirit man is because of the breath of life given to us as a gift.
If we did not have this earth suit called a human body we would have to live in the 2nd or 3rd heaven......but God created earth and man to dwell here so He gave us this earth suit called a body and breathed life into it...The human body has a heart and blood and so on. A spirit being does not. So life is in the blood and and God breathed life into the blood.
