Your claim that
"in the New Testament Greek, 'egeirō' is used in both physical and spiritual contexts" is 100% false.
You are once again showing how Amillennialism causes you to consistently eisegetically
insert a meaning into a word that is not there. Let's look at
the difference in scripture between quickening and raising so that (or in the hopes that) you will be able to see the obvious flaws in your assertions:
zōopoiéō in scripture is always used in reference to God’s Spirit quickening, i.e making alive, giving or imparting (eternal) life.
Also used in reference to the quickening of the mortal body:
"If Christ's Spirit is in you,
your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit (of Christ) is your life [zoe] because of (Christ's) righteousness. Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
the one who raised [egeiro] Christ from the dead will also quicken [zōopoiéō: make your mortal bodies alive] through his Spirit who lives in you." (Romans 8:10-11).
syzōopoiéō is used in reference to being quickened, i.e made alive again
together with Christ and
by His Spirit.
zōopoiéō (quickening of the Spirit) is used in John 5:21; John 6:63; Romans 4:17; Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 15 verses 22, 36 & 45; II Corinthians 3:6; Galatians 3:21; I Timothy 6:13; I Peter 3:18.
syzōopoiéō is used
in Ephesians 2:4-6, where it's referring to
the quickening of the Spirit; and in the same place
synegeírō is referring to the resurrection of the body:
"But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love with which He loved us, even us being dead (the body being dead) in sins,
(1) He has
syzōopoiéō (quickened together with) Christ, (by grace ye are saved);
(2) and has
raised us up together (synegeírō - the word is referring to the resurrection of the body, not of the human spirit),
and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:4-6).
Paul is telling us that we are quickened with Him by His Spirit
because of His quickening by the same Spirit (Christ is the Son of man and the last Adam), and so we are also
bodily raised with Him. Colossians 2:12 and 3:1 are saying exactly the same thing.
Paul is telling us that positionally, we are already bodily raised with Christ who is the last Adam, the Son of man, through His bodily resurrection from the dead. This is why we are
sure that we
will be raised from the dead bodily, also.
This is why he says we are seated with Him ("made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus").
We are seated with Him in heavenly places because we have been bodily raised with Him (synegeírō), because we have been quickened by the Spirit of God with Him (syzōopoiéō) because we have been
born of His Spirit.
egeírō and synegeírō are referring to the resurrection of the body,
and there is not one place in the entire New Testament where the words are NOT referring to the resurrection of the body, despite the fact that you
falsely claimed in your post there are references in scripture where it is NOT referring to the resurrection of the body.
Let's look at Amillennialism's other non-Christian and unbiblical claim that is an integral part of Amillennialist doctrine, which is the part of your re-definition of scripture which I have crossed out below:
zōopoiéō: (Amillennialist false definition): God
quickens the dead body (imparts everlasting life)
through "the resurrection of the human spirit".
Biblical definition:
God
quickens the dead body (imparts everlasting life) by
the Spirit of God and the resurrection power of Jesus Christ,
through and as a result of a new birth in an individual, i.e
being born of the Spirit of God:
"That which is
born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is
born of the Spirit is spirit." -- John 3:6
"Born of the flesh" is referring to physical birth. We received life from our parents.
We never had life before then. When we were born into the world, we were not "raised from death".
Likewise, those who have been born of the Spirit of God,
received eternal life from God when they were born of His Spirit. We never had eternal life before then.
When those who have been born of the Spirit of God were
born of God, their human spirit was not "raised" from "a spiritual death". . Though we were alive in our bodies (zao) we did not have (eternal) life (zoe) in us. God breathed eternal life into us and we were born of God.
"Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. And everyone who loves Him who begets also loves him who has been born of Him." -- 1 John 5:1
"If Christ's Spirit is in you,
your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit (of Christ) is your life [zoe] because of (Christ's) righteousness. Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
the one who raised Christ from the dead will also quicken [zōopoiéō: make your mortal bodies alive] through his Spirit who lives in you." (Romans 8:10-11).
CHRIST was raised from (bodily) death, a death which was undone when HE was quickened by the Spirit of God, and so through HIS death for our sins, and through HIS quickening when HE was quickened by the Spirit, and through HIS bodily resurrection, and through HIS Spirit coming to dwell in us when we are
born of God, we are quickened
with HIM and bodily raised
with HIM:
"But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love with which He loved us, even us being dead (the body being dead) in sins,
(1) He has
syzōopoiéō (quickened together with) Christ, (by grace ye are saved);
(2) and has
raised us up together (synegeírō - the word is referring to the resurrection of the body, not of the human spirit), and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:4-6).
The readers of this thread who are not decided either way for anything will have taken note of the fact that in your post you once again said
nothing about the fact that Rev.20:4 identifies those who were beheaded
by what they refused to do, not by their state of being.
You also said nothing about the fact that John saw them as
alive in their bodies (záō), nor does your Amillennialist belief system permit you to consider
the fact that in the long list of verses where it's found, the word záō (alive | living) is
always referring either to the living God, or to humans who are alive in the body. The word is
never used in reference to anyone who has died | fallen asleep | is not alive and living in the body.
Amillennialism, (and Preterism and Partial-Preterism which are based on an Amillennialism foundation), are schools of thought which have produced doctrines which have given birth to
mountains of theological falsehoods.
1.
Why those who John saw alive in their bodies (zao) in Rev.20:4 had been beheaded, and
2. the fact that John saw them alive
in their bodies (zao), and
3. the fact that the word anastasis in verses 5-6 is talking about the resurrection
of the body.
Everything you said in your post only proved (yet again) that in many respects the mountain of theology built on the false doctrine of Amillennialism
does not permit you or any Amillennialist to
believe what scripture says (for example Amillennialism
forbids belief of what Rev.20:1-6 is telling us), and Amillennialists always make it totally obvious by their arguments (as you have once again done in your post) that Amillennialism
forces you to employ faulty interpretations of
other parts of scripture also (more false doctrines) such as the word
synegeírō in Ephesians 2:6 for example, in order to change the plain and obvious biblical meaning of scriptures such as Revelation 20:4-6.
None of which means that you are not saved. Because it's Christ's blood - HIS death and HIS resurrection that saved us, and that saves us -
through our faith
in Him, in the case of ALL those who have faith in Him. And no one will have faith in Him and believe the gospel of salvation through Christ unless that one has been born of God.
However, you are confused by mountains of theology built upon false doctrines that are based on schools of thought that were born in the fallible minds of people who seem to believe scripture contradicts scripture (like you have made it obvious you do by your arguments in your post).
