    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    What I said is that the first resurrection is NOT from the grave! Those resurrected from the graves are physically DEAD! Those who have part in the first resurrection need only their dead bodies to be resurrected back to life to be re-united with their living (spirit) souls. The first...

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    Why would Rev 20 have to tell us being born again is to have part in the first resurrection? This truth is clearly shown for example Jo 3, where we read that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the spirit is spirit. John tells us this is how we MUST be born again to...

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    Being born again of the Spirit IS the first resurrection. Man partakes of the first resurrection in life, not after they physically die. There is only ONE bodily resurrection for ALL who are in the graves, in an hour that is coming when the last trump sounds. Until you understand the...

    I don't even go there! I only know that however the second death is accomplished in the lake of fire, I would rather not experience. Because this I do know, it will not be pleasant, and will not restore us to life again.

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    This is assumption! John writes "first resurrection" to show a dramatic difference between those who are ALIVE after physical death, and those who physically die and will be physically resurrected to damnation. Yes, there is a second death! It is for this reason that in this life, or as John...

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    I'm being a little nit-picky here, but Scripture never speaks of a "second resurrection." I think calling the physical/bodily resurrection in the hour coming a second resurrection causes confusion. It makes some believe there will be two physical resurrections separated by one thousand years.

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    The act of being born again of the Spirit is the first resurrection. Christ speaks of this resurrection as His ability to raise up the dead by quickening whom He will. John 5:21 (KJV) For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. This...

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    If the thousand years are future, why does John write these martyred saints "lived and reigned" with Christ in life and were "beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads...

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    David, I'm sure you realize that there will be only one physical resurrection of the dead, and that will be when the last trump sounds in an hour that is coming? And when this physical resurrection comes, those who have done good to resurrection life, and those who have done evil resurrected to...

    The final harvest?

    The problem for you Randy is showing there can be a physical millennial Kingdom of God on this earth in any form??? You ASSUME Christ will come to establish a physical Kingdom on this earth but ignore that Christ has already come with a Kingdom that is NOT of this world, is not observable...

    The final harvest?

    If the Kingdom of God is near through the Gospel, how can it not yet be here? The Kingdom of God is both near, and has come, but not yet completely because the Gospel is still being heard and the Kingdom of God in heaven is not yet complete, for the last of the Gentiles have not yet entered...

    The many errors and contradictions found in Amillennialism.

    Again, you prove you have no understanding of Amil doctrine! "The word millennium is actually from the Latin words [mille], meaning thousand, and [annum], meaning years. In Latin, the article "a" is a negation of any word following it. Thus a-millennial literally means "no millennium," or no...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    You know not what you speak of! If Amil is false, you should be able to prove it with Scripture. Show us these "grand explanation that the Scripture doesn't imply"? If you cannot prove what you assume then you cannot be trusted.

    COVID Hospitalizations on the rise....

    Most likely what Idaho realized is that these so-called Covid tests are not reliable nor were they intended to be.

    The 144,000 before God at the end.

    Don't attempt to speak for Amil! Very seldom are your assertions factual. Even if one who says they are Amil believe things that do not agree with Amil doctrine as a whole, it is wrong for you to paint with this broad brush as though Amil broadly and all inclusively teaches the trib is over...

    The Orthodox Preterist versus the Heretical Dispensationalist

    Do you really believe that we are more powerful than the Holy Spirit, who is sent to give whosoever believes ETERNAL life? Again, this argues we are more powerful than God! If the life we receive through the Spirit is not eternal, the Bible is not true! You're not understanding that God...

    The many errors and contradictions found in Amillennialism.

    These verses can only be properly discerned when studied in context. Since there were not verse divisions, it is a mistake to read vs 5 apart from vs 6. First John is made to understand that physical death did not separate these faithful saints from Christ. Because they had lived and reigned...

    The many errors and contradictions found in Amillennialism.

    Is John saying all time shall be no longer, or is he telling us a specific time shall be no longer? The context using vs 7 also shows that time that shall be no longer is the time given to fulfill the mystery of God that He declared to His servants the prophets. We can't know the time that...
