No, Scriptures NEVER write about a so-called "one and only" resurrection event. There is a particular agricultural reason for Christ being called the "First-fruits". That was a reference to the first harvest in Israel at Passover. Leviticus 23:10-12 describes a joint offering of a sheaf...

Wrong. Christ's body in heaven at present is the same post-resurrection, tangible body form which He invited the disciples to touch and handle, and see. Christ's glorified body which came out of the grave, leaving nothing behind in the tomb, is the same glorified body which is in heaven today...

Are you paying attention to the particular differences in my viewpoint which I am emphasizing with the Full-Preterist position being presented here? I do NOT teach that the second coming with its accompanying resurrection was supposed to be ONLY spiritual in nature, which is a hallmark of Full...

Sorry, I disagree that Christ abandoned His glorified, resurrected body which came out of the grave on His resurrection day. Hebrews tells us this. It is the very reason why Christ's high priesthood was made "after the order of Melchizedek". That was because Christ was unlike every other high...

No, Paul taught that there were three of those resurrection events. He presented this in 1 Cor. 15:23-24. Each of these resurrection events would happen in a particular "order". The Greek word Paul used there was "tagmati", which has the connotation of the ranked military order of a...

Yep. Clear as a bell. The Greek "Mikron, hoson, hoson" terms used in this Hebrews 10:37 verse are translated "a little while, how little, how little!" James 5 also taught that Christ's coming was compared to the "judge" that was then "standing at the door" as the book of James was being...

Yes, Christ Jesus did come bodily and visibly in that AD 70 generation, and was witnessed in AD 70 by every eye of those who pierced Him, as was predicted. We today have archeological proofs that He came to the Mount of Olives that year, just as was promised for that first-century generation...

"Melchizedek" was the "nickname" given to the translated Enoch. Enoch became known as the deathless Melchizedek who, at the time Abraham knew him, had no obvious genealogy or beginning of life or end of days. This single example of the only person ever to be translated so that he would never...

Yes, those Matt. 27:52-53 saints were given glorified bodies. Any saint who is bodily-resurrected retains that glorified, incorruptible immortal body form. In the same way that Romans 6:9 tells us that "Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him"...

You are correct that the Matt. 27:52-53 saints bodily resurrected in AD 33 were waiting for a "full restoration" event you referred to in AD 70. They were waiting for their final transport into heaven. It wasn't good enough just for their bodily remains to come up out of the grave, changed into...

No, it is not even possible for those Matt. 27:52-53 resurrected saints to have died again. "...Neither CAN they die anymore, but are like the angels in heaven..." You are merely uttering a common misconception about those raised to life again in the Scriptures dying twice. Can't happen...

Uh, yes, He was. His statement was that the Queen of Sheba, and those of Nineveh would rise up in the judgment with "THIS generation" because a greater than Solomon and Jonah was "HERE" - namely Christ Himself standing right there in front of them, "here" and bodily, in THAT wicked generation...

We cannot simply flush the Matthew 27:52-53 account of those many saints who were bodily resurrected in AD 33 and went into the holy city to be seen of many eye-witnesses there. Along with "Christ the First-fruits", these Matt. 27:52-53 resurrected saints were also the "First-fruits"...

Yep. I agree with this above. That judgment would include both the just AND the unjust, (coming in AD 70) which imminent resurrection and judgment truly frightened Felix. Sure there is. This AD 33 resurrection in verse 25 - the hour that "NOW IS" - did not have any evil individuals which...

Even though some 30-plus years had passed since the resurrection of Christ and the Matthew 27:52-53 saints back in AD 33, those Matt. 27 resurrected saints were still circulating and serving among the early church. Hymenaeus and Philetus were calling attention to the former AD 33 resurrection...

No living believers are ever promised a translation-type change of their bodies in Scripture without dying first. Only the believers who physically die are promised this change into the incorruptible and immortal state. "It is appointed unto men once to die, and after that the judgment"...

Those of Paul's own day claiming the resurrection was already past were looking backward to the bodily resurrection of Christ and the many Matthew 27:52-53 saints who came out of their graves the same day as Christ, and who went into the city of Jerusalem to be "seen of many". There were many...

But I agree with you that not everything is symbolic. It's a mix of both the literal and the symbolic in Revelation, as it is throughout Scripture. As for the Sea Beast being of ancient origin instead of something we expect for our future, are you denying the Roman Senate records of when the...

I would agree with this improvement perspective as to the success of evangelism in this world. I believe this in spite of the persecution and martyrdom of Christians in many countries. "The Spirit of God is not bound", and never was. But in the sense of a monetary collapse, I believe this...

Well, I believe there are Scripture patterns which predict a worldwide societal "collapse" coming soon - in 2033 as a matter of fact. In spite of that - even because of that - the current leaders of governments are exactly what God is using to bring about His own purposes of expanding His...
