The words are there...."in Christ" is there. "Those who belong to Christ" is there. But we need ears to hear, I don't know how else to explain it.

The bible ALSO says justification is through FAITH....salvation is through FAITH in Christ. And that not all have this faith. This is another example of cherry picking and not rightly dividing the cherry picked passages together with the whole counsel of God..

There is a vast difference between trusting the Lord and thinking He "owes" us or anyone anything. "God so loved the world", yet He tells us to "love not the world" . So what "standard" are you talking about that we should "hold" God to?

Hoo boy. "....so IN CHRIST all will be made alive"... who are in Christ, which means who belong to Christ. All died who were in Adam, and it happens that literally all were in Adam (born of him) and that is why literally all died. That is not the case with Christ....not literally all mankind...

"Who are you o man to talk back to God?" "God so loved the world that He gave His only son that whosoever would believe on Him will have eternal life." He has shown as much love as it is possible to show and yet many reject His love sadly, so it's on them. But you and anyone who agrees with...

1 Cor 15 is talking about "those who are Christ's at His coming"....the resurrection of life, not the resurrection of damnation.

God's character is such that He gave free will to men....and they are free to choose either death or life., to seek the Lord and Truth or not to. His character is pure and holy....He will not tolerate and dwell with the filth and iniquity of this world forever. As I already said you want to...

The members of His body are called firstfruits in a slightly different sense than Christ.....As Christ was the firstfruits of the members of His body, through being the firstfruit sacrifice on behalf of believers, the members of His body go on to being a kind of firstfruits of all those they...

Please read this entire passage in context....Paul is clearly addressing the resurrection of the dead and countering those who say there is no resurrection of the dead. Certainly it is true that we are spiritually made alive when we come to faith in Christ, but that is just not what is...

We who believe have been made alive and redeemed spiritually....but we haven't been resurrected from the dead yet....our bodies haven't yet been redeemed, and that is what that chapter is discussing. The passage itself tells us what is meant by "each in turn".....Christ the firstfruits had to...

The whole context of that chapter is the resurrection of the dead. It is talking to and about Christians...reassuring believers that just as Jesus was resurrected from the dead, so will we also, who are in Christ. Death came upon all through Adam's line, who were born of him...

If one is still in Adam they are still dead........it is only IN CHRIST that all will be made alive who are in Christ. That is what it is saying. No one outside of Christ will be resurrected to eternal life. They remain dead in their sins (although they will be resurrected so as to be...

"...then when He comes, THOSE WHO BELONG TO HIM. " Only those who belong to Him will be made alive. All who are "in Christ" will be made alive. Then the END will come.

It's according to His foreknowledge...."elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father" 1 Peter 1:2 But lets' not get away from the point, the point being that clearly not all will receive eternal life. Act 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the...

Well, yes, If I'm understanding, there are places where the word "aion" is used in a more literal sense. (This is why we need to rightly divide. the scriptures....dividing between literal and figurative etc...ears to hear what the Spirit is saying.). And this age/world/order has an end as the...

No I'm not, I'm testing the theory....I'm looking and comparing scripture with scripture, as I had suggested you do. See what you think: Jhn 12:32-34 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die. The people answered...

Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the...

Part of His character is that "I the Lord, do not change." Old and new testaments agree. New testament is the old testament revealed. And what happened to Ananias and Sapphira in the new testament should serve as a warning that God has not changed and will not be mocked. Another part of His...

Edom serves as an example and warning, like Sodom and Gomorrah....those kingdoms and people were permanently (forever) erased from history, from life. It shows that Satan and his kingdom (this fallen world and its fallen people) will one day likewise suffer the same fate....destruction...

I'm not a Greek scholar......but if we want to understand the meaning then my point was to suggest comparing the ideas being conveyed using that word with the same ideas being conveyed in OT Hebrew. The words forever, everlasting, eternal etc in Hebrew have no reference to a finite age, as I...
