1. When a question is posed, could Bertie answer the question posed instead of using the question to further make a point by going off on a tangent?
2. Based on past teachings, Bertie has said the 2 Cor 5 clearly states that the New Creation is the Whole World but in recent teachings Bertie does not seem to connect the New Creation with a resurrection body. Revelation 20:5 says the rest of the dead will live again would not this include a resurrected body?
3. John 5:28,29 seems to make clear that all will have a resurrection body but will spend their resurrection in different places however this Sunday, Bertie seemed to say that only those who believe will receive a resurrection body? Did I understand him correctly?
4. Todays teaching seemed to state that even if Jesus had not taken on the sins of the world, He would have gotten old and died. I do not understand this on the basis that Jesus was not made from the sperm of Adam and it is from the sperm of Adam that we earn our death our sin nature. If Jesus was not born with a sin nature, which of course He was not otherwise he could not have been our perfect sacrifice, then had he not taken on the sin of the world, at the baptism of John, then surely he could not have aged and died because the bible says, the wages of sin, and the sin nature, that causes death. Jesus neither sinned nor had a sin nature. How then could he have aged and died not having taken on the sin of the world?
5. Todays lesson seemed to say that Jesus became the Son of God AFTER His resurrection because it is only then that he gets His inheritance, the resurrected body. It seemed that this is what Bertie was saying today but many may ask, What about the times during Jesus ministry when God declares Him to be his beloved son already?
6. Bertie talked about spiritual death.what does he think about soul death or spirit death? Is death only the death of the flesh or is it also the death of the soul, Ezekiel 18:20, The soul that sinneth, it shall die, Ecc 12:7 the spirit returns to God who gave it?
7. This person who posed this next question said they are not of the Andrew Wommack belief that we are a spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body. They believe that we are a three part being, we are a human with flesh and we possess a soul and a spirit. The question is this: What part of immortality do we understand as now and what part of immortality is our future hope?
8. There are those who believe immortality is something we possess now and in the future, but feel that what Bertie is saying is that immortality is only something that comes when Jesus returns and our flesh is raised up. What happens to people how pass on from this life but prior to Jesus return? Where are they?
