Apparently Jerry thinks that quoting scripture and underlining and bolding a phrase that nowhere near resembles the phrase he originally used to support the biblical existence of the phrase he originally used will suffice as an argument...
If inhabiting eternity does not speak of the eternal state then what does it mean?:
"For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones" (Isa.57:15).
Since with God there is no beginning and no ending then His existence can be said to be eternal. That cannot be said of the creation because it had a beginning and it will have an end. Where do you think those in the kingdom will go after the earthly kingdom of the Lord Jesus comes to an end?:
"But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power" (1 Cor.15:23-24).
It's talking about people baptised into A GROUP. That group is called "The Body of Christ."
Yes, a group. But it is "individuals" who are chosen to be members of that group:
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love" (Eph.1:3-4).
The believer inherits the spiritual blessings individually, as we read later in the same chapter:
"In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise" (Eph.1:13).
Different people believe at different times so they are not sealed as a "group," and since they believe at different times they are baptized into the Body of Christ at different times and not as a "group":
"For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit" (1 Cor.12:13).
Were you baptized into the Body of Christ at the same time, and in a group, as those who were baptized into the Body of Christ in the first century when this epistle was written? Of course not!
Your whole argument falls apart if you can't make it a group baptism into the Body of Christ
