Agree 100%. I'm done with this.
He cannot address God's Word and he cannot even explain Scripture. He just relays what he has been taught.

... and the ducking and diving continues.I will. I want to believe the truth and I do. You believe falsehood and it's sad to see. Please ask God for wisdom, otherwise there is no hope for you to ever understand the truth (James 1:5-7).
Where do you get that?That one was a copy and you still call it David's throne, the same as the one that will be rebuilt in the future
believe what you want
never ever , ever , and do i mean never ever suckle from the richard of ecumenical in erfaith .You are not saved because you believe Christ was the Son of God, you are saved by believing in the gospel of Christ.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. But of course believing Christ is the Lord, the Son of God is a part of believing. But you must also believe in the resurrection, that God raised Christ from the dead.
For without the resurrection, your faith is in vain.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”![]()
Bible Gateway passage: Romans 10 - New King James Version
Israel Needs the Gospel - Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness...www.biblegateway.com

I know you don't seem to like what the scripture actually says, so criticize that not me as I quoted the scripture.Salvation is a person.
Not a formula.
Paul was arrested by Jesus.
No salvation formula.
You got the cart before the horse.
You got the bible bigger than the one that wrote it.
Hi WPM,Revelation 20:6 tells us: "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."
You are ducking around the obvious to support your false teaching. Denying the "resurrection" of Christ is the "first" is grievous.Hi WPM,
The first and second are NOT in order BUT type. Jesus tells us this.
`...those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.` (John 5: 29)
First resurrection - to life.
Second resurrection - to condemnation.
And each in their own time.
Thank you replying. Yes, all those scriptures show that Christ is the First to rise from the dead. And what sort of resurrection was it? Yes, the first type - to LIFE.You are ducking around the obvious to support your false teaching. Denying the "resurrection" of Christ is the "first" is grievous.
When you establish this it will help you establish Revelation 20:6 - that is if you believe in letting Scripture interpret Scripture (as Amils do).
- Who is "the first that should rise" in Acts 26:23?
- Who is "the firstborn from the dead" in Colossians 1:18?
- Who is "the firstfruits of them that slept" in 1 Corinthians 15:20?
- Who is "first begotten of the dead" in Revelation 1:5?
I rest my case!Thank you replying. Yes, all those scriptures show that Christ is the First to rise from the dead. And what sort of resurrection was it? Yes, the first type - to LIFE.
Jesus said there are 2 TYPES of resurrections -I rest my case!
There is therefore no other first resurrection in Scripture. Any other is second or more.
There is one singular general resurrection when Jesus comes. This is the end. The wicked are destroyed. There is no imaginary 1000 years in-between in. Check the text. Jesus explains in John 5:28-29, “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”Jesus said there are 2 TYPES of resurrections -
`..those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.` (John 5: 29)
No, Jesus was referring to those in the graves. (John 5: 28)That is one singular general resurrection when Jesus comes. This is the end. The wicked are destroyed. There is no imaginary 1000 years in-between in. Check the text. Jesus explains in John 5:28-29, “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”
Jesus taught a singular time (or hour) that is coming when all of the dead will be raised. Please notice “the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth.” We are not just looking at the righteous, we are looking at both the righteous and the wicked. The passage goes on to confirm: “they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” All that are in the graves will come forth when He comes. The righteous will be ushered into His glorious kingdom, the wicked shall be damned for all eternity in the lake of fire.
The righteous and wicked dead all rise in response to the same sovereign voice - Christ's. Christ’s description of the resurrection depicts a unitary event, albeit in two parts. Part 1 is the elect; Part 2 is the wicked. Jesus explains in John 5:28-29, “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth.” Evidently there is only one resurrection albeit involving two separated aspects: “they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”
Hello! Their bodies are there. Read 1 Thess 4. You are destroying your own doctrine by making such statements.No, Jesus was referring to those in the graves. (John 5: 28)
Those in the Body of Christ and the OT saints are NOT in the graves they are in the third heaven with the Lord. (Heb. 12: 22 & 23)
`all who are in the graves...` (John 5: 28)Hello! Their bodies are there. Read 1 Thess 4. You are destroying your own doctrine by making such statements.
All that are in the graves saved and lost are raised When Jesus returns . That is if you take the text literal - which we are finding Premils do not. They butcher Scripture to suit their teaching. They have no consistent or objective hermeneutics. They move the goal posts every time a text forbids their error.
Does "all" mean all? Yes or no?`all who are in the graves...` (John 5: 28)
The Body of Christ and OT saints are NOT in their bodies. 1 Thess. 4: reveals that they have to join with their body.
