Corruption Does Not Inherit Incorruption

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now I say this, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} that flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

So often when we read a verse from our bibles then we automatically related it to a thought of our religious training, and/or another scriptures, satisfied we have an understanding of its meaning, such as this one written above by the apostle Paul, talking about corruption cannot inherit incorruption.

James. 3:11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?

When we think of corrupt practices such as sexual immorality, and others works of our flesh in thoughts and actions, but is this the corruption Paul speaks too in the verse above? Such corruption is applicable as well to these verse, but it's not the complete scope of the discussion that we as God's children need for real maturity in Christ.
1.

The corruption that Paul refers to in context, is flesh and blood cannot inherit incorruption (God's Kingdom), flesh and blood was never created by God who is incorruptible nor was his spirit son's to be incorruptible, but rather to be dependent upon God's incorruptible life, for life.

Do we grasp that if something is incorruptible, i.e, God that he cannot touch corruption that everything he creates has to be sinless, without corruption?

Incorruptibility is not corruptible, all things outside of God corrupts without his life sustaining them as the source of life, YHWH. In other words, there is only one source of life that all other life is sustain by Jehovah God.

The point is when God created things in his own image, that is, human's or spirit son's of God they were never created to live outside of God, who's incorruptible life, the life that would sustains his children eternal lives; God is the source, the head waters of eternal life for those created in his image without sin, sin is corruption!

John 5:26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.

Nothing Permanent

When we hear that God's sustains life by his very word, often we think of reading our bibles, but that is not the context or the truth of that statement. Mankind was cut off from the words of God when sin entered into our world Adam immediately started dying, his corruptibility over took his body, and spirit without his havin contact with incorruptibility or the words of life, God.
2.

John 5:39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. 5:40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.

Mankind could never be connected to incorruptibility again once sin entered into them they were flawed they were now an imperfect vessel, that is, corrupted by sin so that thye could not carry the Spirit of life from incorruptibility God that would be needed to keep them alive in their flesh eternally. Incorruptibility cannot reside in corruption that is the context of this discussion plain and simple.

The word of God is his word from his mouth that is Spirit and truth it is that living contact that gives us eternal life. Human could read their bibles day and night without let us, but that bible would not give them eternal life in their corrupted bodies of sin.

1 Peter 1:18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers.

The source of life is light that has no darkness in it, which means, God the light has no corruptibility in it, because incorruptibility does not reside in death, darkness or corruption, which is something impossible there is not a chance! It's not matter of thought, or convenience, it is an everlasting truth all created in God’s image must be sustain by or they do not have eternal life.

1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
3.

Residing in Corruption

All of mankind's creation from the founding of our world is corruption, it is not incorruptibility, nor is any of it permanent i.e., everlasting, the only thing mankind has, is their thoughts of eternity, which is most often confused with God’s thoughts of eternity from an incorruptible mind that has no darkness of corruption created by sin.

1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Mankind's very thoughts are upon corruption no matter how noble they are? He is not a god, nor can his words install life into his own creations, and that is why humans uses many words, they sale others an ideal to garner physical and financial support for their creations.

Proverbs 8:8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.

Proverbs 10:19 In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

Ecclesiastes 5:2 Don't be rash with your mouth, and don't let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.
3.

The power of life is in each person, which is their existence, thus, requiring us to uses other peoples lives to extent our wealth, our ideas, our building projects, and power, and so on . . . beyond this life!

John 10:10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

In other words, corruption must take from other life to extent its own life, it cannot inherit incorruption that gives life (freely), the two are opposed as is light is to darkness.

Incorruptibility does not take it is life within itself that cannot be corrupted by sins selfish acts of taking.

1 John 5:11 The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1 John 5:12 He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn't have God's Son doesn't have the life.

1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don't tell the truth.

5.

Once the flower blooms in full glory it starts the decent into death and complete corruption which is the existence of all mankind. For that glory to last past one life time it must be enshrined as an idol to last more than one generation or it will not be remembered.

Corruption is depend upon taking others lives to exist; to extent its own remembrance past a generation, corruption is the god of death, and not the living, it can only take life, not give life.

Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, whether it goes downward to the earth?"

Eccl.9:4 For to him who is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
9:5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead don't know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
9:6 Also their love, their hatred, and their envy has perished long ago; neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.

Life Permeated With Death

Corruption is permeated with thoughts of death, it cannot go forth in life without both thoughts of death and life controlling its behavior.

6.

Do we think God is controlled by thoughts of life and death be honest?

That is why the thoughts of humnkins are not the thoughts of God who is incorruptible without thoughts of death, at all! Every thought, and word of YHWH is life, he is the God of the living. Thus, every fearful thought of death, and after life does not exist with God at all!

For remember corruption cannot, cannot inherit incorruptions. There is a vast chasm between the two which we humans cannot cross over by our thoughts of sins corruption to reach the God's of incorruptible mind!

Isa.40:13 Who has directed the Spirit of Yahweh, or has taught him as his counselor? 40:14 Who did he take counsel with, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding? 40:15 Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance. Behold, he lifts up the islands like a very little thing.

We as human's are filled like an imperfect vessels with thoughts of good and evil (life and death, sin or without sin). Evil being defined as thoughts of corruption, from sin, which happens by our living in a world of darkness created by thoughts of human born into sin.

What is good according to human in sin, is it the same good God is?

Remembering Christ stated only one is “good” God! God is good because he is incorruptible the source of all light, love, life, truth, and power, having no thoughts of corruption (death which means evil).

Matthew 19:16 Behold, one came to him and said, "Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" 19:17 He said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

No other person, or in spirit person, had at Jesus speaking here incorruptibility “only God is good” there were none among mankind who had obtained to incorruptibility in all the universe, not even in heaven, none could open up the scrolls of life, none were worthy to be called good the source of incorruptible eternal life, not even Christ took that position under test in his flesh, he did not make himself equal to God, as did Satan!

All humans are permeated with thoughts of death accept the Son of God, all had fallen short of God's good glory, none, not one person knew God, but the Son of God as his Fathe.

The rest of mankind but Adam lived in speculation from a corrupted mind (sin thoughts of death and life) being permeating with good and evil from the first sin in God’s paradise in Eden. Thus making all human thoughts yeast permeating eternal life with corruption of sin and death.

Hence, Jesus could truthful stated he came into the world, but the world did not know him, because they did not know God, for the mind of corruption cannot inherit incorruptions
8.

it is impossible to have the thoughts of an incorruptible God in the corruption of our flesh, or in our mind of a body born into darkness of sin, it is impossible, having thoughts of law judging sins of our flesh, and think like God who has never sinned and cannot sin!

John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him.

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness.

We are helpless in darkness, and lost, because we cannot know the thoughts required to have God's incorruptible mind to sustain eternal life as a sinners.

Corruption can only created corruption it must decline into greater corruption it never gets better that is the law of corruption. Our having elevated thoughts in corruption does not change corruption; no more so then having elevated thoughts while making yeast bread, hoping it won't corrupt unleavened bread once it is touched by the yeast!

Yeast is not reformable, it does not by words become unleavened bread, no matter what rhetoric we used, reading our bible religiously does not remove yeast from yeast!
9.
Unleavened bread has no corruption, it has never had yeast in it, unleavened bread must be made new, a new lump without any influence of yeast.

1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump? 5:7 Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.

When we are told by the apostle Paul under God's Holy Spirit that all mankind has turn aside, none knew God, its not just a metaphor, and away to shock people into doing something in their flesh good. It is a truth a fact of divine law no matter how many years of study a person has, does not give them the incorruptible life or life giving thoughts of God in their corruption, because corruption cannot inherit incorruption.

Rom. 3:9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.
3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.
3:11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God. 3:12 They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not, so much as one."{Psalms 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Ecclesiastes 7:20}

16.
3:13 "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit."{Psalm 5:9} "The poison of vipers is under their lips;"{Psalm 140:3}
3:14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."{Psalm 10:7}
3:15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood.
3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.
3:17 The way of peace, they haven't known."{Isaiah 59:7-8}

The Life and the Light of Men

Who could give men the light of God being they existed in corruption (darkness of sin separated from incorruptible light)? That is the ultimate question for eternal life itself; who could help man think like God so they could learn from God the ways of life?

Not the scriptures they are but a shadow an unreality of the true light, the prophets did not know the mind of God, they were taken; seized upon overpowering their own will by the power of God's Spirit and made to speak the truth of God, but not the mind of God (the incorruptible light, of the God of love). None, not one, all had turned aside no not one knew God until the Son of man came to earth as the life and light to mankind in a world sitting in darkness.

John.1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome{The word translated "overcome" (katelaben) can also be translated "comprehended." It refers to getting a grip on an enemy to defeat him.} it.
11.
Who is Christ? He is the word of God, he is the truth, he is life, and what he speaks he speaks from God incorruptible mind, all his sayings are life, and all his thoughts are life, he did not sin, he did not see corruption, and become corrupt, so he inherited incorruptibility from incorruptibility; corruption cannot inherit incorruptibility!

1Pet. 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy became our father again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1:4 to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn't fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
1:5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Now let this honestly sink in, God was and did create all things new in Christ. No thoughts of corruption can be a part of the new heavens or the new earth. Nothing of mankind corruption can inherit incorruption, that is why a person cannot boast in any flesh, because flesh is corruption, God does not give his glory to corruption does he?

1Pet.1:18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers, 1:19 but with precious blood, as of a faultless and pure lamb, the blood of Christ;
12.
1:20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of times for your sake, 1:21 who through him are believers in
God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.

God did not take an old lump of yeast bread and start a new batch of bread in Christ, then command us to build upon it so one could say this business, this religion, this government is the new earth, or new heaven inheriting incorruption. There is only one good, without corruption or thoughts of evil, that is death. Yes, death is the enemy, and all thoughts of death are corruption and evil to incorruptibility robbing us of eternal life!

2 Timothy 1:10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.

1 Corinthians 15:21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.

1 Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

Does one think the new heavens are filled with thoughts of death and corruption!

The question is who has bewitch us with such thinking if its not the very corruption we inherit from our own flesh and the wisdom of this world?
13.
Who would think the new scrolls Christ opens are to judge mankind in the resurrection are full of thoughts of death when God is the God of the living, and has already destroyed the last enemy death (inhis Son’s incorruptible life) and every thought of death permeating mankind with evil in Christ mind?

James 1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.

1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn't love his brother remains in death.

Revelation 1:18 and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades{or, Hell}.

Evil! Returning evil for evil is that somehow good? Returning death with death thoughts is not incorruptibility that is impossible, corruption cannot inherit incorruptibility, corruption is what God hates and is against the light of life!

James.1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers.
1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. 1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

Christ did not leave the truth to chance in men and woman of corruption of isn in the shadow of death, but is protected and guard by the reality, the light of life, not some of it, or soon to be more of its, he was the light!
14.
There was no need to test or wonder what would happen if truth was left in corruption of the human mind in darkness of sin (death) this was not an experiment to see if a corrupt person in their mind and body could be left on earth long enough (in death alienated from God's mind) they would inherit eternal life from the God of incorruptibility, it was finish, done, at the judgment of sin (as death), corruption cannot inherit incorruptibility, that was the Devils experiment at the cost of all the suffering this world has ever known.

Job 14:4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

Proverbs 20:9 Who can say, "I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?"

Haggai 2:12 'If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?'" The priests answered, "No."

Christ had the light in him from an incorruptible God he was not entrusting that light to men of flesh (he knew what was in men, death), or a religion death, a government, a business! Christ did not give his glory too the glory of man, that is, giving God's own glory too corruption. He did not do a Satan the Devil giving glory to corruption all the kingdoms of our earth, thinking it could become incorruptibility sustain eternal life for the rest of mankind, by a lie, by darkness! No! The truth was; only one is good, no other was the real teacher of mankind, no other had the saying of everlasting life, but him, who is the light and life of men that has saying of everlasting life, words perfectly spoken of truth through the Word of the living God that what Christ spoke!
15.

Jeremiah 31:34 and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, -

- Know Yahweh; for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Yahweh: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.

1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

Christ took our sins, so we can be righteous by his own righteousness, not our own righteousness, but his, which is of God, he became our mind, our body, our life; giving us the incorruptible mind of God that teaches his children the ways of life. That is all new not old or keeping of some yeast, but new, all things new!

1 Corinthians 2:16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?"{Isaiah 40:13} But we have Christ's mind.

1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

2 Corinthians 5:21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
16.
Death at Work

Death is at work in our flesh, it is corrupted, it is darkness, but life is conquering the death at work in us, which is, the setting of all creation free, but free from what? Death, and corruption! Death and corruption is futility, a futility in our thoughts in every fiber of us found in our sinful bodies. Our believing such thoughts will give us freedom or humankind in the future confuse evils with good as being part of the new heaven as good enough, but mixing the two is of sinful man’s thoughts something that has never entered into the incorruptible God’s mind.

Judgments of the flesh does not exist in the new heavens, nor any other thing on this earth created from an old lump of yeast.

Revelation 21:5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

Isaiah 65:16 so that he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from my eyes.

Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
17.

The vessel of good and evil will be left behind it is dead, its thinking, its actions, its fears, its emotions, those thoughts and emotions have no power in incorruptibility, those things do not inherit God's kingdom, let us not be fooled here! We do not stop corruption by our teachings, our thoughts, our actions, that is a lie. Corruption cannot be made i.e., to inherit incorruption.

Titus. 3:1 Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
3:2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men. 3:3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
3:4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,
3:5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
3:6 whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;

We have been made new not by our righteousness (which is corruption), simply put, anything we can do good or bad has not uncorrupted us, because we exist in corruption that cannot be made into incorruption.

18.
Philippians 1:11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Philippians 3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

We are given a gift of incorruption, that is, a taste of Christ life indwelling us, which give us his mind that knows the Father, and teaches us the words of Spirit and truth, which is our eternal. Christ very life become our unleavened bread that cannot, now listen carefully, cannot be gotten on earth. It must come down too us from above, in Spirit and truth, God feeding us by the life blood of Christ giving us the promise Holy Spirit because we account as having no sin corruption being we are not in Christ a part of his life.

James. 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
3:18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Let us have the mind of Christ knowing as we do this home is temporary, it is in tribulation of our flesh, but with faith in Christ our life, not faith in the our life, in its works, in our flesh, but faith in life (Christ incorruptible life), we have no condemnation in Spirit; life has, and that life consume all thoughts of death into the glorious freedom of the son's of God, making perfect peace, letting us have peace in ourselves in Christ.

19.

2 Corinthians 4:10 always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

1 Peter 3:18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

2 Peter 1:3 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue;

Colossians 3:4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.

2 Corinthians 5:4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
