Spiritless


1 Peter 3:21-22     New English Translation

21 And this prefigured baptism, which now saves you—not the washing off of physical dirt but the pledge of good conscience to God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who went into heaven and is at the right hand of God with angels and authorities and powers subject to him.

 

A good conscience towards God through Jesus’ resurrection

To be well and alive in Him is the answer for the human race

  Outside of that, there’s only emptiness, as formerly was stated

“All things were without form and void,” just darkness on its face

 

But then you say, when it all began, there was no resurrection

And here again, remember, that time here was without limits

“The Fall” introduced temporal and death came upon all creation

Time and space in the material made into one, although not in Spirit
