Our spirit is only dead in trespasses and sins. Which means we have the breath of life (spirit) but being dead in trespasses and sins we are of the spirit of this world, sons of disobedience. Being born again is not being resurrected from spiritual death which we would have to be if our spirit...

Our spirit is made alive by/through or because of the first resurrection that is the bodily resurrection of Christ we must have part of in life before we die. It has caused much confusion in saying our spirit is resurrected, when our spirit was not altogether without life, being [SPIRITUALLY]...

I don't entirely disagree C&Z. But I do disagree about when we receive eternal everlasting life. I don't think that any doctrine could be made more clearly than the fact that we have everlasting or eternal life when we believe in Christ for salvation. Christ has already made us eternally...

It's so easy to point out the inconsistency found in your unbiblical doctrine!

So how does this prevent His spirit from returning to the Father when He died on the cross?

Physically resurrected without a head? How else would John know they had been beheaded? He saw them physically alive without heads? Strange doctrine! You seem to be so preoccupied trying to disprove Biblical truth that you have become altogether blinded from receiving truth.

Perhaps the prophecy applies to TIME we are living in since the first advent of Christ? The time symbolized a thousand years???

No. While clothed in human flesh Christ was a living soul on earth with a body of flesh + spirit (breath of life). When His flesh died on the cross His spirit returned to the Father in heaven as does the spirit of every human. (Ecc 12:7) His flesh lay in the tomb for three days, but His...

JBO, flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God because our flesh and blood that dies is sown in corruption but resurrected in immortality and incorruption. 1 Corinthians 15:50 (KJV) Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth...

Jesus was physically resurrected from the dead three days after He was crucified! But His spirit ascended into the hands of His Father when He died on the cross! By knowing this we have blessed assurance that our spirit too shall return to the Father when our flesh is dead, and when the last...

Yes, the first resurrection is the physical resurrection of Christ that every human who desires everlasting life through Him must have part in. NONE but Christ are physically resurrected before an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds.

In Rev 20 John doesn't limit the full embodiment of those in heaven to the martyred saints. He also writes of those blessed and holy who have part in the first resurrection, and have overcome the second death, called priests of God and of Christ. They too will be faithful unto death but are...

We choose to believe Christ when He tells says those who believe in Him HAVE everlasting life or we choose not to believe Him because death of our physical body is our destiny. When we have been sealed with the promise from Christ as Eph 1:13-14 tells us, we have blessed assurance that even...

This is how I addressed this in reply #169 The only resurrection mentioned in these verses is the resurrection of Christ. I believe those bodies came out of the graves a spiritual body of believers who ascended to heaven with Christ as living souls. Having died in faith waiting for Christ, the...

What do you believe all things being made new means? I envision mankind as fully human as they were created to be, but immortal and without corruption fit for life on the new earth. Revelation 21:5 (KJV) And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto...

Is it too far a stretch that I believe humankind fitted with immortality and incorruptibility will once again be in a state of innocence like God created man to be in the beginning before sin and death through sin became part of human reality? The whole creation will be made new again.

Yep, and it appears it takes much repetition for some! Yep, just as the Bible tells us. When we are born again by His Spirit we have been RAISED up with Christ, spiritually speaking. Nope! I understand that I have been raised up being quickened spiritually to life through Christ's Spirit...

No, what I have repeatedly said is that we must partake of Christ's resurrected life, because He is the "first resurrection" to overcome the second death. We do this when we are born again of His Spirit and have everlasting life. Since every human body is moral & corruptible, our bodies are...

It has two groups of those who die in faith having part in the first resurrection which is the resurrection of Christ. The first group are the martyred headless souls John sees alive in heaven after physical death. Because during their lifetimes they lived and reigned with Christ in time...

The only resurrection mentioned in these verses is the resurrection of Christ. I believe those bodies came out of the graves a spiritual body of believers who ascended to heaven with Christ as living souls. Having died in faith waiting for Christ, the Redeemer to come to rescue them from death...
