    I don't know who you are quoting, but that was not from me.

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

    My opinion is based upon Greek grammar. I actually had a couple of semesters of Greek, but that was so long ago. I am not a Greek scholar, but I know a couple who are. And it is not the souls of two different groups. One group is said to be souls, the second group is not said to be souls...

    1 Corinthians 15 shows pretty clearly that "resurrection" (anastasis) is not the resurrection of the physical body. In fact when it speaks of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ in Matthew 27:53, the Greek word is "egersis". That is the same base word used in describing the physical...

    To Be : Made Righteous

    What do you think it means In Genesis when it says, "These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God" ( Gen 6:9)? I personally to not think that is talking about a new creation in Christ; nor do I think it is talking about the...

    Okay, but there is no indication that the spiritual body is composed of physical material of any sort.

    I don't agree with that. Ezekiel produced an entire chapter, chapter 18, to say that is simply not true. Eze 18:3 As I live, declares the Lord GOD, this proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel. Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the...

    No, it has nothing to do with and gene pool from Adam. Being dean in trespasses and sins comes from the persons own trespasses and sins. Or perhaps I just didn't understand what you were trying to say.

    Greek grammar demands it. The Greek word for "those who..." does not modify "souls". It is not a part of a prepositional phrase. It is the subject of the second phrase.

    No, that is not quite the Amil view. The first resurrection is that described by Jesus in John 5:24-25. It is the resurrection of the dead in trespasses and sins as described in several other passages in the NT, e.g., Romans 6:3-6; Ephesians 2:4-6; and Colossians 2:11-13. Clearly it is they...

    There are two groups described in verse 4 of chapter 20. It is not the souls of " who had not worshiped the beast nor his image, nor had received his mark on their foreheads, nor in their hands." It is just those who had not worshiped the beast..... The contrast here is between souls, i.e...

    I do not think that Jesus raised body is any indication of what our spiritual body will be. 1 John 3:2 seems to me to say just that. Jesus' raised body was not a spiritual body, but rather was the old body brought back to life. I think that was the point He was making with Thomas. In that, He...

    Body as distinct from flesh just as natural body is distinct from spiritual body. It doesn't say spiritual sarx, i.e., spiritual flesh. The resurrection body is not flesh. As to my understanding, all I can say is that when I read the same things as you are reading, I come away with the...

    The first resurrection in Revelation 20:5 is, I believe, exactly what John was talking about in John 5:24-25, namely, regeneration. Clearly those will not be subject to the second death (Rev 20:6). For what it is worth, in Revelation 20:4, what John saw seated on thrones were two separate...

    Not our mortal bodies. Bodies, not flesh. "Somah" not "sarx".

    NO! NO! NO! Those in verses 28-29 are indeed the physically dead to come out of the tombs at the end of the age when Christ returns for the resurrection, the "anastasis" and judgment. For those in verse 24-25, the hour is coming AND NOW IS.
