Could you refer to verses where death means one thing in one and the opposite in the other?
This sounds rather Old Testament to me but with a substitution of "Apostle" for the OT prophets, appointing kings.
. . . member of the Body of Christ anointed by a living Apostle, sent to teach the hidden mysteries of word of God . . .
I think that the saying, "Love others as well as you love yourself" operates under the assumption that people do that naturally, not needing to "try" very hard at being concerned for their own well being.
Before you can truly have love for another's soul, you must first love your own soul and care for it.
I doubt that Jesus meant that. You have the parable by Jesus in the gospels of the man "in that day" calling "Lord, Lord!" who Jesus said he would tell that he knew him not, who claimed that he did these good things. But the reason given for the rejection of the man was his being a "worker of iniquity", not for not loving himself enough. He was saying "Lord, Lord!" in an effort to save himself on judgment day.
Jesus said its a fool who wins others but loses his own soul.

1 Corinthians 15:45 doesn't have the word death in it. This post was really confusing as well.

Thanks for your thoughts.
One more question:
Is Father of the Word, or is the Word Father's creation?
. . . the higher you climb a mountain the further you can see.
In the book of Acts, people have hands laid on them because they had not been baptized in the name of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Ghost is also only given through the "laying of the hands of the an Apostle" as it is recorded.
For one thing, that is not Jesus' name. That was an old spelling in the Torah for Joshua, the person who was the successor to Moses. It can be theorized that that form was a result of forming a contraction of two words, one being a cognizant of YHWH, the other a word meaning "saved". Later, a shortened form of the name was used, in the books subsequent to the original first five books. It was from that shorter version that the name, Jesus, in the Hellenistic era, was derived, meaning at that point, Savior.
A clear contradiction to the Testament of Salvation in Yehushua and the price Paid on the cross for our sin by the Father who Sent His only begotten Son to become that Bridge for our Means of our Redemption.

Today the ones baptizing believers know better and baptize in the names of all the persons of the godhead, making the "hands" business unnecessary.

The will and intention that brought about the universe was God.
Is God of the Word or is he only consciousness? (I am not referring to the embodiment of God.)

Yahweh (The Father) = consciousness
Holy Ghost (The Spirit) = consciousness' will
Yeshua (The Son) = consciousness' creation
John 1:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
The Son, Yeshua, is the Word and is the creation of God. (The embodiment of the Word is Yeshua/Jesus.)
Verse two is what I am asking about....
Is God of the Word or is he only consciousness? (I am not referring to the embodiment of God.)

It was from that shorter version that the name, Jesus, in the Hellenistic era, was derived, meaning at that point, Savior. Second, nowhere in the New Testament does it teach that Jesus "paid" for sins, though his death is alluded to in a vague way as being a redemption, not from sin, but rather from the bondage to old Mosaic Law.
