I know that when I die, my physical body is left in a grave. But what about the person... what kind of body will they have in heaven until their physical body is resurrected? I would appreciate any insight on this matter. Thank you. Robin S. Dallas TX

There are three Bible verses that answer your question:

	Mark 12:27 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. KJV
	Ecclesiastes 12:6-7 6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. KJV
	2 Corinthians 5:6-8 6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst 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 confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. KJV

These verses clearly tell you that only your body goes to the grave then it is done with. Once a believer in Christ passes away, their soul goes back to the God who gave it.

There is something in 1 Thessaloinans 4:13-17 that looks like a rapture but that is a misunderstanding of the scriptures. The "air" that we are going to be in IS our spiritual body, it is another word for soul or breath of life.

Proof that air is soul:

Get a Strong's exhaustive concordance and do the following:

1. Look up, in the New Testament section the word "soul".

soul: NT:5590 psuche (psoo-khay'); from NT:5594; breath, i.e. (by implication) spirit, abstractly or concretely (the animal sentient principle only; thus distinguished on the one hand from NT:4151, which is the rational and immortal soul; and on the other from NT:2222, which is mere vitality, even of plants: these terms thus exactly correspond respectively to the Hebrew OT:5315, OT:7307 and OT:2416):

KJV - heart (+-ily), life, mind, soul, us, you.

2. Follow the "from" link to word #5594 NT:

NT:5594
psucho (psoo'-kho); a primary verb; to breathe (voluntarily but gently, thus differing on the one hand from NT:4154, which denotes properly a forcible respiration; and on the other from the base of NT:109, which refers properly to an inanimate breeze), i.e. (by implication of reduction of temperature by evaporation) to chill (figuratively):

KJV - wax cold.

Look where you find yourself? You are at the base of NT:109 which IS the word for "air" in 1 Thessaloinans 4:17 and you were following the definition of SOUL!.

1 Thessalonians 4:17
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
KJV

Air: NT:109 aer (ah-ayr'); from aemi (to breathe unconsciously, i.e. respire; by analogy, to blow); "air" (as naturally circumambient):

KJV - air. Compare NT:5594.

And now you see an instruction to compair NT:109 with NT:5594. Air is another word to represent soul, not the atmosphere.

But how about the word clouds, you might ask? OK, Paul used the word cloud to describe a crowd, here is another place where Paul used the same word to describe a crowd of people:

Hebrews 12:1-2
12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
KJV

There is no rapture, it is a false teaching. You will not be able to find this word in any version of the Bible. True, raptue is being added to some modern "reworked or corrected" reference material but it is still false.

The Bible was written in Hebrew (OT) and Greek (NT), rapture is a latan word that was coined way after the writing of the Bible.
