I say the Kingdom of God when established upon earth will bring these promises to a fulfillment. Rev. 21:3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4...

The Scripture teaches: "The dead in Christ SHALL RISE FIRST" (1 Thess. 4:16). To study: 1) who are the dead "in Christ"? 2) what does it mean that THEY will rise FIRST? 3) if pre-Christ servants of God are not "dead in Christ", WHEN they will rise?

There you have other reasoning that show there is one special resurrection that is FIRST, and another one that is later. One clear example in short words: pre-Christ servants of God won't participate on the FIRST RESURRECTION, but they will be resurrected in another one, later. For that reason...

There are teachings in the words. That is why Jehovah God used men to write his thoughts and not other heavenly creatures. He used humans for us to understand the language, directly or by rational thinking. If: the Scriptures teach about a first resurrection, it means that there is another one...

Logic 101: The word FIRST would not be added to the text if there is not OTHER ONE at least. (Reading comprehension)

My comments are for the general readers. I share pertinent biblical information to everyone. It is not my intention that some are not aware of what I write. They can read the notification that the whole thread has a new comment. I usually don't quote others directly all the times for safety...

If the Kingdom of God already arrived, where are the fulfilled promises? :contemplate: Rev. 21:3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he...

Logic 101: IF: the Scripture talks about a "first resurrection" THEN: there is another one.

The followers of Jesus looked forward to the kingdom of Christ on earth (Acts 1:6-8; Luke 24:21). The entire biblical message leads us to hope that God, the Creator of the earth and of humans, will establish a just government over humanity that will replace the current human governments that do...

The Greek word αἰών essentially means a specific system of things. From the human point of view, mankind passes from one system of things to another at different times. New generations appear with new fashions, new laws and points of view, new customs, etc. Although some traditions and beliefs...

Rev. 20:6 Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and they will rule as kings with him for the 1,000 years. Some sects of the Christendom claim that their members are already...

The Bible says that the Sadducees (who were a post-exilic Jewish sect) did not believe in the resurrection (Acts 23:8), but the Pharisees, of whom Paul had been a part as an educated Jew, did believe in the resurrection. In this text Paul tells Agrippa that the "twelve tribes" awaited the...

To be resurrected in heaven, that man would have had to be born again. John 3:3 In response Jesus said to him: “Most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” (...) 5 Jesus answered: “Most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born from water and...

I am not here to argue with you. I am sharing biblical important passages related to diferent topics. I don't mind your opinion about what biblical ideas I share with others. The question stands: If Jesus didn´t say that John won't be in heaven in the future, then what do you think he meant...

Real life's religious issues and facts has shown that religions that underestimate what the Bible says end up lost in their own speculations. In these religions, many of their members contradict each other, because by not giving the information in the Bible the importance it deserves, they...

Where do theologians get that the great tribulation will last 7 years? Should we accept that idea without questioning its validity with the Scriptures? Should we believe that as dogma even if the Bible does not explicitly say that the great tribulation will last 7 years?

The messianic hope of the Jews was/is that a king of the lineage of David would settle in the land of Israel, rule the world, and bring it to justice from that earthly location in Jerusalem. Although Jesus' kingdom message did not refer to a king who would be established in an earthly city...

Telling about the visions of the future that Jesus revealed to John, he says: Rev. 7:9 After this I saw, and look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and...

That is a very interesting way to see this matter. I see that you try very hard to understand the biblical teachings, and you quote many texts directly from the Bible. I also believe that the reign of Christ and its interaction from heaven with humans is multi-staged and occurs over a period of...

Works cannot save us for the simple fact that even if we leave the "major" sins, we will always make minor mistakes that would be an impediment to saving ourselves "by works." Every human error that distances us from the holiness of God is a sin... However, God knows that we cannot be perfect in...
