Since you don't seem compelled to answer anything I've said, neither do I feel compelled to answer your opinions.

I never said the Holy Spirit brings harm! Nor did I confuse Him with the four angels.

Of course those faithful of Old had eternal life according to PROMISE. But for the Covenant to be ratified (become valid) there would have to be a death, shedding of blood for remission or pardon of sin. The blood of goats and calves only cleansed outwardly, but could not obtain eternal...

Before the cross there was no everlasting spiritual life through the Spirit. Though the Spirit was with them, He would not be permanently in them before Christ returned to the Father and sent Him. (Jo 14:17) Since Christ has come and sent His Spirit to be in us, we belong to His spiritual body...

These verses are telling us that the WIND was held back from the four winds of the earth, which is symbolic of the Spirit being sent unto all the earth to be in those of faith. Before the four angels (symbolizing universality) would be released to bring harm unto all the earth the WIND (Spirit)...

Firstfruits of the Spirit. Salvation came first to the Jew. So the Jews of faith were those who received the Spirit of Christ in life when they are born again. And before Christ came the Old Covenant faithful Jews are also firstfruits of the Spirit after Christ defeated death and they were...

All who died in faith will receive new resurrected physical body when the last trumpet sounds.

The firstfruits of the Spirit are the 144,000 sealed by the Spirit of life. They could not ascend to heaven with Christ without first being sealed by the Spirit. They were faithful unto death and waited in the place the Old Covenant called the bosom of Abraham. This is akin to being under the...

The same ones called the firstfruits of the Spirit that were raised to heaven a spiritual body of believers after Christ resurrected from the dead. They waited under the altar, not yet in heaven, until Christ came to set the captives free.

There is a lack of understanding the difference between being firstfruits of the Spirit and the physical resurrection when Christ comes again, the harvest at the end of days.

I posted all of these translations of Rev 20:4 because these help us to understand how TIME given mankind whereby, we MUST be saved is what a/the thousand years symbolizes. Not ONE thousand literal years that shall be after Christ comes again. But TIME that runs from the first advent of Christ...

Perhaps you might care to give an explanation for how those martyred saints of vs 4 who have lived and reigned with Christ "a thousand years", and the blessed and holy saints of vs 6 that shall reign with Christ a thousand years also? There is only mention of a/the thousand years, how can these...

That's a poor translation of the verse. Why would those who died in Christ, already possessing everlasting life through Him need to be "brought back to life"? It is typically the newer modern translations of the Bible that translate this verse as though the life that Christ gives whosoever...

Jo 5:28-29 is NOT the only passage proving ONE general resurrection. There are many verses telling us the dead IN CHRIST shall be resurrected on the last day. (see Jo 6 for one proof text) Of those who have died without Christ, they too according to Scripture shall be resurrected when the last...

While I agree with much of what you say, but I believe Christ when He tells us that whosoever lives and believes in Him shall NEVER die. John 11:24-26 (KJV) Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection...

CTK, you must prove from the Scriptures what you allege. If you cannot, then this is simply your opinion. I cannot/will not accept an opinion from any man unless his opinions can be supported from the Word of God. Prove that when a man in Christ breathes his last, his living spirit, as living...

Are you a universalist? Do you believe that ALL humanity without exception shall be saved?

If this is true, why does Christ say whoever lives and believes in Him shall NEVER die? Since Christ knew, every mortal body is destined to die, how can all who believe in Him have everlasting life through Him? How does man's spirit return to God who gave it after our body has died? Is our...

I'm reminded of the words of Paul, saying "unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law" (1Co 9:20). Why would Paul, a Jew, feel the need to become as a Jew since he is a Jew? Yet...

Be careful that you don't confuse the promise of God to the natural seeds of Abraham (promised land), conditioned on their faithfulness, with the unconditional promise of God through the SEED (Christ) to Abraham's seeds according to grace through faith.
