    The term being born again vs. the term resurrection.

    Some are calling being born again “the first resurrection”.

    The term being born again vs. the term resurrection.

    Let me add this, when you “liken” one thing to another it does not mean the thing which is used to “liken” it to is actually the same thing, nor does it replace it. For example…. Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which...

    The term being born again vs. the term resurrection.

    Many are trying to conflate the term “being born again” to the term “the first resurrection.” Are these words/terms the same, and what is the difference? If you search the word resurrection you will find the word is mainly used concerning the raising up of a dead body. I’ll post where it is...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    I do believe there will be converts added to the Kingdom during the thousand years because of what it says below… 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    I see you diverted from what is written in the context of scripture concerning the first resurrection as is defined in Rev. 20:5-6 and ran to an unrelated verse out of context. That is how magicians trick people, they try to divert your attention away in order to perform their trickery. Don’t...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    It’s my duty to do so… Ezekiel 3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wickedway, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Ezekiel 3:19...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Then believe it as it is written… Revelation 20:5-6 King James Version 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Because I do not receive the testimony of men, the Testimony of God is greater. We who are of Christ’s flock do not hear or follow a strangers voice.

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    I have honestly never heard on a Christian forum where someone who claims to be a Christian denies sin has anything to do with the death of the body. Here is where God announced His judgement on Adam after he had sinned by transgressing the command of God. Genesis 3:17-19 King James Version...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    I believe the bodily resurrection of the dead in Christ is shown in the 2 witnesses being bodily resurrected. 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9 And they of the people and kindreds...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    So you don’t think sin has anything to do with the death of the physical body? I have to say that is the first time I have heard that one. I fully understand that there is both a spiritual and physical aspect to death, but both are caused by sin. That verse is talking about to die physically...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Why not just say Jesus is the first-fruits of the first resurrection? The reason you don’t is because you believe “the first resurrection” is past, which is why you also believe the thousand year reign of Christ started long ago with Jesus being resurrected. One error has led to another, and...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Then why do ALL men physically die? Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Let me explain to you my position by comparing it to the body of Christ. Now some are saying Jesus ALONE is the first resurrection as is mentioned and is defined in Rev. 20:5-6. Is Jesus ALONE the whole body of Christ? Did Jesus say he was alone? Jesus said he was not alone, but the Father...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    I disagree and I will explain why. Many of them are saying Jesus’ resurrection ALONE is the first resurrection as defined in Rev. 20:5-6. Now, was Jesus Himself resurrected in the past, or is it yet future? Of course Jesus was resurrected in the past. So really what they are saying is “the...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    I have no problem with your point of view on this topic, just your choice of words. The term “the first resurrection” is specific to Rev. 20:5-6. If you want to say Christ is the firstfruits, or the firstborn from the dead, that is worded properly according to scripture. When you change the...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    And that is another problem in their doctrine, they are trying to conflate the meaning of being born again of the Holy Spirit as being the first bodily resurrection of the dead in Christ as shown in Rev 20:5-6.

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    I don’t think so because there are those who are trying to conflate the meaning of the first resurrection mentioned in Rev. 20:5-6 to the second resurrection. The first resurrection is to Eternal life, the second resurrection and second death is to eternal damnation. Now both these groups are...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Yes, he warned us about people like you who say the first resurrection is past. Proof… TribulationSigns said: Because you do not understand HOW the dead in Christ rose. The chosen Elect ALREADY had the first resurrection( end quote)
