    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Yes, the hour coming will be like the hour that now is PAST! In the hour that is coming ALL that are in the graves shall be bodily resurrected. The good to resurrection life, the evil resurrected to damnation. Yes, the two resurrections are (1) the first resurrection, that is the...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Yes, it is because of the hour that has NOW come that mankind might hear the Gospel, believe and have eternal life through Christ. That 'hour' came when Christ came to earth a man. As you point out the hour that WAS NOW, the first advent of Christ shall not be repeated again and again. It is...

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

    And you separate them how exactly? The beast doesn't ascend out of the bottomless pit until AFTER the testimony of God's witnesses has finished. Revelation 11:7 (KJV) And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against...

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

    Who is locked up in the pit? John writes it is Satan, not his demonic hosts, that are MANY! Where does Scripture prove these demonic minions of Satan are also confined to the pit for ONE thousand years? Do you not have understanding of how a spirit being uses the unbelieving MINIONS, upon...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    What do you think, some things are impossible for God? Paul tells us the dead in Christ shall be changed from mortal to immortal and corruptible to incorruptible "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    It's helpful to give greater context for John 5. John shows a contrast between "the hour that NOW is", and "the hour coming". The answer to your question depends on whether one enters into the Kingdom of God by hearing the Word of God and believing on Him, or whether the hour is for the...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Your statement PROVES you have doctrines! Just saying Christ is Lord, is to embrace doctrine, because doctrine is teaching, learning, instruction, and in the case of Premillennialists, what you have been TAUGHT from man, not the Word of God.

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Good morning to you also, You believe being born again is a "physical resurrection" and not the spiritual resurrection saints have when we are born again through the Spirit of Christ? "We who were dead in trespasses and sins"! Does that mean we were physically dead and not spiritually dead...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    If only that were true! There are none so blind as the man who REFUSES to see! Premillennialism cannot be confirmed through the Scripture. And those who try to use Scripture to confirm Premill force contradictions and confusion into the Word of God. It is for that reason that I KNOW you are...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Honestly David, I get your jibes, but do not appreciate them! Truly it makes you appear to think yourself "holier than thou", and that dear friend is very annoying, and unnecessary, because WPM, SI, TribulationSigns, as well as myself have studied and continue to study the doctrines of Amil...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Exactly! I agree! Just remember that "we" doesn't have an "I" in it! Rather than assuming some of us need to study more to arrive at your doctrine, try focusing on what WE have said, and how WE have confirmed what we believe through the written Word of God.

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Exactly! Christ is the first resurrection that mankind MUST have part in before they physically die to overcome the second death! You get it, so why do you continue to argue the first resurrection of Rev 20 is a physical resurrection of the martyred saints? It is not, and you know WHO the...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Exactly! He becomes very pious and concerned about our need to understand what is written, when he is shown how his doctrine forces him to twist the Word of God and ignore that which does not agree with his unbiblical doctrines of man.

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

    If my words are false, then John is false. For it is he who writes, "they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." You have admitted they are martyred BEFORE a thousand years. How can they have lived and reigned a thousand years and been martyred, then resurrected to live and reign...

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

    Ok, since they are martyred before the literal one thousand years, when have they lived and reigned with Christ one thousand years? Yes, they were martyred for their faith because they kept the faith unto death. John tells us they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. This is why...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Why not simply accept what I and several others now have been telling you ad nauseum! That Christ is the "first resurrection" of the dead to immortal life. And only those who have part in HIS "first resurrection" life through faith, being born again of His Spirit before we physically die have...

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    This is YOU! While your accusing finger is pointing at others, remember three of your fingers point at YOU! Good question! Should be directed at YOURSELF! You try to appear very pious and concerned with what you THINK but cannot biblically prove Amil as being man-made. But it is YOUR...

    It appears you are still too immature, and prideful to receive difficult biblical truths! Believe whatever your imagination deems appropriate!

    The difference between The Resurrection and the first resurrection.

    Only the unlearned, perhaps mere babes in Christ would continue to argue for that which the Bible does not support! You have your pride and doctrine to uphold, and apparently you will continue to do that in spite of the fact that your doctrine is easily proven to be Unbiblical!

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

    Sorry David, but you seem to be the one not falling off the cliff, but tenaciously clinging to the highest peak that must be depriving you of oxygen needed to think! The literal words make no mention of the martyred saints being bodily resurrected to life AGAIN to live and reign with Christ for...
