This is why I ask you to define spirits! Devils/demons/angels/Holy Spirit/God/Jesus are spirits that work within the spirit of man. Man doesn't become a spirit, rather the spirit in man becomes the nature of whatever spirit dwells in them. In unbelief the spirit in man becomes like the spirit...

If all who have part in the first resurrection having overcome the second death, why would you believe some of them can and will be cast into the LOF? Amillennialism is not what you really struggle against David! I believe your real struggle is with believing the promises of God. You are...

Why would anyone Amillennial or not deny eternal security? Rather than worry about contradiction in Rev 20, would it not be better to have hope being assured in the promises of Christ?

I gave you a couple verses to consider regarding the fate of the spirit that dies in unbelief and the spirit that dies in faith. Though Scripture shows us that all of humanity shall be called to the judgment throne of God, according to John only the dead are judged according to what is written...

Isn't it interesting how you come with mountains of biblical proof to prove what you're saying. But all we get from those who desperately want to cling to myth and legend is repetition as though repeating error again and again will somehow prove it true. Or we get what they think but seldom...

Those who want to cling to mythological legend of old cannot refute anything regarding the spirit realm, because they have no understanding of the spiritual realm. They lack all spiritual discernment when it comes to understanding things of the spirit. That's why no matter how many verses that...

John doesn't have to see a physical resurrection of martyred saints to KNOW they have both lived and reigned with Christ in time (symbolized a thousand years) and because they are alive with Christ in heaven after physical death, John also KNOWS they shall also be bodily resurrected immortal...

Because a bodily resurrection is NOT how man is born again to possess eternal life. Every human body is ordained to die. But to be born again means our spirit (not our body) goes from being "dead in trespasses and sins" to being alive in Christ. Our spirit is not resurrected but quickened to...

I agree! The two resurrections are the first resurrection that is the physical/bodily resurrection of Christ from the dead to immortal life. The other resurrection found in Rev 20 is the resurrection of the "rest of the dead" that do not live again until after the thousand years are finished...

The difference between the spirit that returns to God in unbelief is that spirit is simply said to be among the dead without life, in silence in the grave. But the spirit that returns to God in faith, is alive through the Spirit of Christ in us. Christ says the Spirit will not leave us until...

But where would the Spirit of Christ go when His body of flesh went into the grave? The same Spirit of Christ that returned to the Father after Christ died, will first descend to the lower parts of the earth (grave/Abraham's bosom) to rescue the Old Covenant elect of God who died waiting for...

The problem you're faced with is the FACT that John's baptism of repentance could not eternally save those who partake of baptism of water only. Only the baptism through Christ's Spirit can. That's why John says the one coming after Him shall baptize not with water for the remission of sins...

The messengers here might also be the spirit angels of God sent to minister to the heirs of salvation. Or it could be human messengers of God who are given and sent to watch over, and guard the heirs of salvation, the church. Psalm 91:11-12 (YLT) For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To...

1 Timothy 5:21 (YLT) I testify fully, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the choice messengers, that these things thou mayest keep, without forejudging, doing nothing by partiality. Psalm 148:1-5 (YLT) Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places...

Read the context! It's speaking of the "choice messengers" who are elders in the church, and therefore receive double honor, counted worthy, especially those laboring in word and teaching. It is before God, the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect/choice human messengers that these words are spoken...

The literal translation is "messengers", choice humans, who would be called apostles, prophets, evangelists, and some pastors and teachers. 1 Timothy 5:21 (YLT) I testify fully, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the choice messengers, that these things thou mayest keep, without...

The sons of God are those who are written in the Lambs book of life from the foundation of the world. The morning stars the first stars of the morning and represent the crown of twelve stars (church of Old) adorning the woman (Israel of Old) who gave birth to the man child (Christ). Israel of...

God did not spare the human messengers that sinned, nor did He spare the old world (kosmos; orderly arrangement). Neither the people of old who sinned were spared, nor was the world of old. It's not three different examples of groups. All the ungodly of old were destroyed and the world then...

Don't you know that a metaphor is used in relation to literal things? I hadn't realized you needed to have this explained to you. For example, one of the most famous metaphors in literature is featured in this line from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: What light through yonder window...

God does not say let me create light! He says let there be light that already existed. He is the Light that gives light to the whole world, and at the moment He spoke the world in utter darkness became lighted by His glory. He spoke these words before He created the sun, moon and stars. What...
