LOL. Look at you acting as if you are authoritative about scripture, which you are not. Do you deny that Christ's resurrection was the first resurrection despite scripture explicitly saying so in verses like Acts 26:23 and 1 Corinthians 15:20-23? Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has...

He is so lacking in discernment that he can't even recognize in what sense that Jesus's resurrection was the first. And, apparently, verses like Acts 26:23 and 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 are not in his Bible. Comparing the resurrection of Lazarus to the resurrection of Christ the way he does is...

Not sure how anyone can deny that Jesus's resurrection was the first resurrection when scripture explicitly teaches that (Acts 26:23, 1 Corinthians 15:20-23, Colossians 1:18, Revelation 1:5), so that means having part in the first resurrection must involve having part in Christ's resurrection...

Yes, other scripture describes Jesus as being the first resurrection. The only other verse in scripture that contains the Greek words "protos" (first) and "anastasia" (resurrection) together besides in Revelation 20 is this one.... Acts 26:23 that the Christ would suffer, that He would be the...

This is all wild, baseless speculation. The book of Revelation was addressed to seven actual churches within the ancient Roman province of Asia in the first century. There's no basis for seeing them as representing anything beyond that.

No, the second death will occur when Jesus returns in the future. That is when unbelievers will be cast into "everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41), which is also called the lake of fire (Revelation 20:14-15). The first death is our physical death. Those who are...

Jesus was the first to be resurrected unto bodily immortality. That's the context of verses like these... Acts 26:23 that the Christ would suffer, that He would be the first to rise from the dead, and would proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.” 1 Corinthians 15:20 But now...

What does that even mean? Notice that it contrasts the body sown in weakness with the body raised in power. That's a contrast of a weak body with a powerful one. What do you have against the idea of us having bodies that are powerful? It doesn't mean we'll be equal with God or anything silly...

They do not believe in the true God because, as Jesus said multiple times, anyone who rejects Him also rejects God the Father. No future physical temple would ever be ordained to be built by God, so no future physical temple is a temple that scripture would call God's temple or the temple of...

You're missing the point. The second temple was ordained to be built by God regardless of what happened there later. No future physical temple would ever be ordained to be built by God, so no future physical temple is a temple that scripture would call God's temple or the temple of God.

How can a temple built against God's will be called "God's temple" or "the temple of God"? That makes no sense. In scripture, all references to "Gods' temple" or "the temple of God" refer to temples that God ordained and dwelled in. No future physical temple built against God's will can meet...

Yeah? And? That means we inherit a sinful nature or tendency to sin from Adam. That does not mean we are responsible for Adam's sin. That's utter nonsense. Do you plan on answering for Adam's sin when you appear before Jesus to give an account of YOURSELF? Romans 14:10 But why do you judge your...

Yeah, it seems to me that it refers to "the prince that shall come" in a way that readers would be expected to know who that is referring to. It refers to the prince that shall come as if that prince had already been mentioned. And there is a prince that was to come as of the time of that...

I can't define that. It doesn't go into specifics about what that means. Read this... 1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. 43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is...

Nonsense. We're each guilty of our own sins and we need salvation and forgiveness for our own sins, not Adam's. When people appear before Christ on judgment day they will give an account of themselves and their own actions, not Adam's. We inherit a sinful nature or tendency to sin from Adam, but...

I could not care less what you think of me. LOL. Yeah, okay. Let's just conveniently forget all the times you've said rude things to me, shall we? One of us thinks he is holier than everyone and is very overly sensitive and easily offended and can't handle disagreement very well on a forum...

Dumb question to ask me. That's what YOU say. People are able to make decisions in their own volition about all kinds of things, including moral decisions, but in your doctrine they somehow can't decide if they are sorry for their sins or not and can't decide who they want to serve in their own...

You are pathetic. All you can do is slander people. In no way, shape or form was he playing word games. He stated the truth that you hate. And he said NOTHING about being against Israel. Your LIES do nothing but expose you as being a LIAR. It's very telling when you get upset when someone puts...

Once again, you didn't answer the question. What is it that will be resurrected when Jesus returns if not the natural bodies of the dead in Christ? What is the change that will take place at the last trumpet if not the change from having dishonorable, weak, corruptible and mortal natural bodies...

Yes, those of us who believe God requires people to humble themselves, while admitting that they are hopeless sinners who need His mercy and forgiveness (Luke 18:9-14), are clearly trying to promote the idea that we can earn our own salvation. As everyone knows, when you humbly accept a gift you...
