    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    You continue to prove that your knowledge and understanding of scripture is non-existent and you have no idea at all of what you're talking about. They do share the promise of God in common, as Paul made clear. Ephesian 3:1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of...

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    That passage and many others in the NT show that God has one plan for His people and it was accomplished by way of His Son shedding His blood for the sins of the whole world while bringing Jew and Gentile believers together as one body (body of Christ, the church). That was His grand plan for...

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    Of course I have. And I don't interpret it in such a way that contradicts the NT like you do. The NT shines light on the OT prophecies. It quotes many of them and explains what they are about and how they have been or will be fulfilled. The NT authors clearly did not agree with your...

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    Exactly. Why would I? No reason. As I said, it's a waste of time.

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    In the book of Revelation, a candlestick symbolically represents a church. Revelation 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are...

    So, you are talking about spiritual Jews who are circumcised "of the heart, in the spirit" (Romans 2:29) here and not ethnic or religious Jews? If so, why are you using that as evidence that Revelation is talking about a battle relating to national Israel? Waiting for you to say something of...

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    I disagree with relating those two passages and believe it makes more sense to relate Revelation 11:3-4 to Romans 11 where it talks about the wild olive tree (Gentiles) being grafted in with the natural olive tree (Israelites). There's only one candlestick in the Zechariah 4 passage, not two.

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    I'm not going to waste my time arguing about this kind of thing. It's interesting how you only want to spend time talking about this kind of thing, but you didn't address anything else I said in my post.

    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    LOL. Are you playing dumb here? I believe that your interpretations do not make any sense. Hence, I call it nonsense. And what do you think disqualifies someone from being part of that Israel which fulfills the promise? How would that happen? God is just going to do that for them...

    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    You are making being a physical descendant of national Israel a requirement for being part of Spiritual Israel which completely contradicts what Paul said in Romans 9:6-8 where he made it clear that who or where someone descended from has nothing to do with being part of Spiritual Israel and...

    Tell me what you think that means, Straw Man King. Do you think God favors Jews over Gentiles when it comes to salvation? I'm saying he doesn't and loves His people all the same and wants all people to be saved the same regardless of whether they are Jews or Gentiles. Scripture says that God is...
  12. Spiritual Israelite

    Is the first resurrection physical or spiritual?

    No, it does not say that. You are trying to make it say what you want it to say. Paul very specifically said that Jesus Himself is the firstfruits. The Greek word can also mean "firstfruit", so don't get confused by it being translated as "firstfruits". 1 Corinthians 15:20 But now is Christ...

    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    Yes, I do. I can't think of any better word to describe your beliefs than nonsense. You agree that he's talking about two different Israels in Romans 9:6? How can you agree with that after saying every reference to Israel in Romans 9-11 is to national Israel? That's one Israel, not two. But...
  14. Spiritual Israelite

    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    Yes, I know that, but you have no way of reconciling that belief with what is written in Romans 9:6-8. I showed how ridiculous it is to interpret Romans 9:6 the way you do, which is like this: Romans 9:6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all national Israel...

    Stop your lies. Believing that Jesus brought Jew and Gentile believers together as one body by way of His shed blood is based on scripture (Ephesians 2:11-22) and is not antisemitic at all. Your demonic false accusations don't phase me. How nice. Showing your true colors again. This is what you...

    I'm not going to buy into this dispensationalist nonsense. Unbelieving Jews are not saints! Only believing Jews and Gentiles are saints. Salvation being of the Jews simply means that salvation was made possible by way of the Jewish bloodline, of which Jesus was part. There's no reason to assign...
  17. Spiritual Israelite

    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    This is complete nonsense. You don't trust any English translations since they all teach the deity of Christ, which you deny, but you said before that you use the NASB. So, I'll quote from that. Romans 9:6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are...

    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    LOL. Somehow, you think it's my fault that you had to clarify what you were saying. Okay. Makes perfect sense. What is clear in those chapters is that God brought Israelite and Gentile believers together as one while putting no difference between them just as Paul wrote about in his other letters.

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    Asking a question instead of addressing what I said? Can you please address what it says in this passage? Acts 15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my...

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    Of course I don't believe that. Have you never read the New Testament? God clearly has ONE plan for ONE body of people, including Jew and Gentile believers. That plan was to send His Son as a sacrifice for the sins of the whole world so that both Jews and Gentiles could be saved in the ONE body...
