All you are doing is changing the subject so you don't have to face and address all the scriptures that speak of the two resurrections. You are using the red herring fallacy. We are discussing how many resurrections of the dead there are not when the thousand years takes place.
The doctrines
of "church-ianity" DO CAUSE blindness in the hearts of men. It's not that you don't or can't literally read the NT scriptures, but rather it's the preconcieved thoughts of
their religious sci-fy fantasies that most Christians swallow.
"Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees", which is meaning: all who LEARN about Jesus through "the wisdom of men", such as "denominational" Bible Colleges, Seminaries, and all other manner of
religious institutions.
They only have a faith generated by religious persuasion.
Yes, they have a faith, but only according to "the wisdom of men", and therefore
they do "
STAND" in the
fabrication of
their own form of faith. Unfortunately
, they DO NOT "KEEP the FAITH OF Jesus", but rather ONLY a substitution. These are they who Paul speaks of in 2 Tim.3[
5]
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Have you studied 1 Cor. 2 yet???
When one is born again,
they ARE GIVEN the Promise of God's salvation, which was accomplished by the faith of Jesus.
[
22] But the scripture hath concluded all under sin,
that the promise, by faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe.
Jesus said:
I AM the resurrection.
John 11
[
25] Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me,
though he were dead [in sin before God], yet shall he live [made to be sin-less before God]:
Rom. 8
[
9]
But ye are not in the flesh,
but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man HAVE NOT the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
IOWs, the power of
Christ's resurrection IS NOT within them, who are none of His.
Col. 3
[
1]
IF ye then BE RISEN with Christ [present tense], seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Jesus Himself is that Promise of
resurrection to ALL who LIVE IN Him and believe IN HIM.
You avoid all the scriptures that teach two resurrections so you only show that your position is wrong by doing this.
You are
stuck on the "
penny"
in the dirt, called Premillenialism, when all the while you are missing the "
treasure from heaven", that is in front of you,
who is Himself the First Resurrection.
Col. 3:1- are you RISEN WITH Christ?? If you don't know yet, you better find out fast! Otherwise, you are just following a religious CONCEPT, "having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof".
1 John 5
[
11] And this is the record, that
God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
[
12]
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
[
13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God;
that ye may KNOW that ye HAVE eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
"To be IN the KoG, IS to be IN Jesus;
to be IN Jesus, IS to be IN the KoG".
"The KoG is WITHIN YOU", and not out there in some futuristic 1000 years on this remodeled, made over old Earth.
Most professing Christians haven't figured it out yet. We EACH ARE a
temporary earthen "
camp" unto the Lord, the very "house/mansion" of His dwelling, with that of His Own
Righteousness within us.
2 Cor. 4
[
7] But
we have this treasure [of God Himself] in earthen vessels [our mortal bodies], that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
At the moment, all we are doing is waiting for Jesus' Glorious return, so that we can be "
changed" into the likeness of HIS IMMORTALITY.
Don't you get it yet??
We ourselves are made to be the NEW Earth, and Jesus is our
NEW heaven.
2 Peter 3
[
13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth,
WHERE-IN dwelleth [God's] righteousness.
Q. WHERE has God and His Righteousness always desired to dwell/tabernacle?
1. In His heaven.
2. Within the beings of His people.
3. On a New Earth.
The answer is #2.
