That Matt. 25 judgment with Christ sitting on His glorious throne is a Great White Throne Judgment. In heaven. Not earth. The literal thousand-years millennium is quite another subject. It is ancient history, and came to an end with the "first resurrection" in AD 33. John already proved...

You have reading comprehension problems then. The context of 1 Cor. 15:20-24 is describing the ranked "order" of the bodily resurrections. Paul lists three occasions for this.

I am not "changing" the text. I am QUOTING different translations. You favor one, which creates a Scripture contradiction. I prefer to use the translations that reconcile the seeming contradictions so that Scripture does not fight against itself. You want to simply ditch the one-time-only...

Keep going. You missed printing out the third resurrection event on the list that Paul gave in 1 Cor. 15:24. ALL that were in Christ certainly would be made alive by resurrection, but not simultaneously. They would be raised in ranked chronological order by participating in one of three...

If you think that none of those OT and NT examples of resurrections were to a glorified state because you think Christ had to be the first to have achieved this, you have created a Scripture contradiction for yourself. That would mean that all those bodily-resurrected individuals in the OT and...

You have no understanding about what a "resurrection to destruction" looks like, do you? The body and soul of the wicked both perish. God destroys them both for the wicked dead.

Nonsense. Once the spirit departs, a dead body which is raised to life again is only due to the Holy Spirit's power. You might as well say that you can kill the Holy Spirit itself. "It is appointed unto men ONCE TO DIE, and after that the judgment" (Heb. 9:27). There is no such thing a...

So circumcision is still a requirement, since it was supposed to be a forever ritual? And the Levitical high priesthood is still in existence because that was called a forever thing also? There are changes in the law, Hebrews says. What once used to be true in John 3:13 about no man having...

The sequence does not say that merely the living would be caught up together with the resurrected ones. It says "we who are alive and REMAIN shall be caught up together with them...". Paul saying "we" was speaking as a representative of the church at large; he was not saying that he would be...

Why should I be ashamed of consulting various translations that do a better job of staying true to the original languages? Especially when it helps to reconcile all the Scriptures which seem to be in conflict. Why don't you accuse Biblehub of "twisting" the scriptures by giving all the various...

You should be well aware of the widow of Zarephath's son raised to life again in 1 Kings 17:22, and the Shunammite's son raised to life again in 2 Kings 4. "Women received their dead raised to life again..." Hebrews 11:35 reminds us. There is also the dead man who came to life again by his...

Of course that was true - but that was at the time Christ was then speaking to Nicodemus. That statement did not remain true. We can see in Scripture exactly when resurrected mankind was first allowed access into heaven's temple, and it was when the seventh plague had been poured out in...

Bad translation of this verse. The word "First" applies to the verb "to shew light unto the people and to the Gentiles" - NOT to the verb "rise from the dead". Christ was the first to do this after He had risen from the dead with His command, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to...

No, it was only bodily resurrected believers who were caught up to heaven with Christ in AD 70. Any believers who had not yet died stayed on the planet. The typical "rapture" teaching needs some revision. Those "living" and "remaining" believers in 1 Thess. 4 who were to be caught up were...

No, it just goes against man's tradition. Anybody raised to life again bodily has been raised, not by their own power, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. What is heretical is to say that once resurrected, that person can die again. Scripture declares this to be impossible. Nowhere in...

In your quote above, I put in parentheses my own understanding of the events each verse is describing. There definitely are repeating patterns throughout Revelation - some flashbacks, some presented chiastic style, and some showing recapitulation. For certain, not everything is strictly...

No, Christ was not the first human to be physically resurrected to an eternally glorified incorruptible form. That happened on several occasion in the OT as well as in the NT to quite a few individuals, even before Christ was raised from the dead. You see, there is a difference between the...

Wrong. The Isaiah 26 context IS speaking about the wicked dead never bodily rising again after death. In contrast to the wicked dead, Isaiah wrote of the righteous that, "Thy dead men SHALL live. Together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye who dwell in dust: for thy dew...

That "everlasting fire" that was "prepared for the Devil and his angels" in Matt. 15:41 was the "furnace of fire" which was in Jerusalem, according to Isaiah 31:9. God's fire was in Zion, and His furnace in Jerusalem, it says. The wicked who were cast "alive" into that "Lake of Fire"...

Well, the time when Michael would "stand up" is directly connected in Daniel 12:1 to the time when there would be the unprecedented time of tribulation such as had never been before. This is the same as the unprecedented "great tribulation" in Judea and Jerusalem that Christ warned His...
