    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    You quote it but fail to understand what it says. To be born again is to have part in the resurrection of Christ. It is spiritual re-birth by His Spirit in us that makes us to partake of Christ's resurrection. To be born again of the Spirit is to be made alive with Christ SPIRITUALLY...

    That's why our body of flesh will be resurrected immortal and incorruptible in an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds. We will still have human bodies but changed from corruptible & mortal and from perishable to imperishable which we are in this life. If we shall become spirit beings why...

    Yes, that does appear to be the problem David. You have no understanding of what Christ means when He tells us the life we receive through Him is everlasting. You seem to see only with physical vision that which is of this world materially! You seem to have no understanding of what it means...

    No David believers do not die! Our body of flesh and bone ceases to have life but we as spiritual body of believers still have life through Christ's Spirit in us. We have Christ's promise that His Spirit shall be with us, giving us everlasting life after our body dies, and He will remain with...

    How many times must I repeat none, but Christ, are bodily resurrected to never die again before an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds? I have repeatedly said we are of the first resurrection because CHRIST IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION! You know this is true and then deny it is true. We are...

    I don't know what to say to you FOG! If you have not partaken of the resurrection through the Spirit of Christ then you remain dead in, your trespasses and sins and without eternal life that comes only by faith. Believing that Christ is the Resurrection and the LIFE, not in this life only but...

    Christ tells Martha "I am the resurrection and the LIFE". IOW in Him we live and breathe and have our being and that life we receive through Him shall NEVER die. Christ is telling her and us that physical death cannot end the life we have in Him. For that life shall never die. It's a present...

    This helps to explain your confusion, since you appear not to have understanding of why man must be born again to have eternal life through Christ. Nor do you appear to have understanding of eternal life through Christ's Spirit. Ephesians 2:1-3 (KJV) And you hath he quickened, who were dead...

    Ezekiel says "the soul who sins shall die." Who among mankind is not destined to physically die? Every human is destined to die since sin and death through sin entered creation.

    Then why does Christ tell believers that they shall NEVER die? We know the physical body dies, so what never dies if not the spirit in man that returns to God? To be dead in trespasses in sins is not to be without spirit (breath of life). It means the only voice man that is dead in...

    Why would Paul write the spiritual body is resurrected since in Christ, through His Spirit within us we shall NEVER die? It seems Paul understands those who physically die in faith ascend to heaven a spiritual body of believers as living souls! That's why Paul writes they are "raised" and not...

    If the body resurrected is not flesh & bone why must it be changed to immortal and incorruptible? If the age to come on the new earth is going to be spiritual and not material why create a new heaven and new earth?

    I agree! John simply writes they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. And shall reign with Him a thousand years. Both those who have lived and reigned in life before they died, and those who shall reign with Him before physical death, are with Christ during their lifetimes...

    No he wasn't, I agree! He was qualifying how man is dead! In trespasses and sins! Why is that distinction important to understand? These words weren't spoken to those who had been physically dead, but were before having eternal life through Christ DEAD IN TRESPASSES AND SINS! Does that not...

    Paul writes it is raised (not resurrected) a spiritual body when our natural body has died! Where does the raised spiritual body go if not to heaven to be as is the Lord in heaven, a celestial/heavenly body of believers there? What is a supernatural physical body? Why is our mortal body...

    Then why is every human destined to death, and all of creation also, that is the result of the first sin committed in the Garden of Eden?

    Yes, the spirit is the breath of life that is within every living breathing creature upon the earth. When we are in Christ the breath of life within (spirit) that identifies who man is, does not die when our physical body dies. It returns to God who gave it (Ecc 12:7). If before we died our...

    You're correct, God doesn't give man a spirit that is spiritually dead. Being born DEAD in trespasses and sins comes from the gene pool that comes from the first Adam. It is for that reason that man must be born again through the last Adam who is a life-giving Spirit. The first Adam has given...

    Yes, I tend to agree. Trying to discern a spiritual body is difficult because spirit has no form and cannot be seen. I'm not speaking of the angels of God that are seen in Scripture having human form. I believe the breath of life given man at creation is the spirit within man. The spirit...

    But none shall be physically resurrected immortal & incorruptible before an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds. Yes these, according to John have lived and reigned with Christ before they were physically martyred. That time they lived and reigned with Him is symbolized a thousand years.
