Q from MHG: Where did Paul say it is to be when absent from the body, for those in Christ?

Gen_2:7  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Gen_3:19  In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Ecc 12:7  Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Wouldn't it be nice if they put all the needed information into one paragraph???

Beautiful, Iscool!

And, yes, it would be cool, but I think God had the Bible written in the way it is to keep blind the prying eyes of those who oppose Him. I wouldn’t hang my hat on it, of course, but just a thought. I’ve always imagined that those people throw it in the trash with a smirk saying, “What gibberish!”
