Description
“To be absent from the Body is to be present with the Lord” is a garbled and partial quotation of a passage from the King James Version, which is already an inaccurate translation of the original language. Paul said no such thing.
The traditional view is nothing more than a mistaken interpretation based upon Platonic theory of man’s nature. There are no Greek words in this passage that mean “absent” or “present,” even though these two words will be found five times in this short portion. The use of these two words here is a perversion of Biblical testimony, inserted by the translators to give support to a false idea that a man can be separated from and exist apart from the organized substance (soil) that makes him what he is, a human being.
This work leads the reader, step by step, through every fact related to the true meaning of Paul’s words in II Corinthians 5:6-8, the portion from which the above inaccurate quotation is supposed to have come.
