Absent from Time II REV Henry B J Cooper

This book covers a spectrum of topics that deal with: 1. who we are as created beings 2. How we spend our time 3. The love of God for us, and 4. Our departure from the world; "absent from the body, present with the Lord". The composition of "man" is: 1. Spirit, 2. Soul and 3. Body, and this confuses even the well versed Christian. We are actually SOULS that have a spirit residing in a body. This is what Jesus died for, to save from destruction "that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life". In Ecclesiastes 12:7 it states that all men, when they die, their "spirit returns back to God who gave it". Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it (Eccl 12:7 KJV). When we die: 1. the Spirit goes back to God who gave it, 2. the body goes back to the earth (for it is dust transformed by the power of God); 3. the soul is in the hand of God reserved for judgment.
