    Perhaps the prophecy applies to TIME we are living in since the first advent of Christ? The time symbolized a thousand years???

    No. While clothed in human flesh Christ was a living soul on earth with a body of flesh + spirit (breath of life). When His flesh died on the cross His spirit returned to the Father in heaven as does the spirit of every human. (Ecc 12:7) His flesh lay in the tomb for three days, but His...

    JBO, flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God because our flesh and blood that dies is sown in corruption but resurrected in immortality and incorruption. 1 Corinthians 15:50 (KJV) Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth...

    Jesus was physically resurrected from the dead three days after He was crucified! But His spirit ascended into the hands of His Father when He died on the cross! By knowing this we have blessed assurance that our spirit too shall return to the Father when our flesh is dead, and when the last...

    Yes, the first resurrection is the physical resurrection of Christ that every human who desires everlasting life through Him must have part in. NONE but Christ are physically resurrected before an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds.

    In Rev 20 John doesn't limit the full embodiment of those in heaven to the martyred saints. He also writes of those blessed and holy who have part in the first resurrection, and have overcome the second death, called priests of God and of Christ. They too will be faithful unto death but are...

    We choose to believe Christ when He tells says those who believe in Him HAVE everlasting life or we choose not to believe Him because death of our physical body is our destiny. When we have been sealed with the promise from Christ as Eph 1:13-14 tells us, we have blessed assurance that even...

    This is how I addressed this in reply #169 The only resurrection mentioned in these verses is the resurrection of Christ. I believe those bodies came out of the graves a spiritual body of believers who ascended to heaven with Christ as living souls. Having died in faith waiting for Christ, the...

    What do you believe all things being made new means? I envision mankind as fully human as they were created to be, but immortal and without corruption fit for life on the new earth. Revelation 21:5 (KJV) And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto...

    Is it too far a stretch that I believe humankind fitted with immortality and incorruptibility will once again be in a state of innocence like God created man to be in the beginning before sin and death through sin became part of human reality? The whole creation will be made new again.

    Yep, and it appears it takes much repetition for some! Yep, just as the Bible tells us. When we are born again by His Spirit we have been RAISED up with Christ, spiritually speaking. Nope! I understand that I have been raised up being quickened spiritually to life through Christ's Spirit...

    No, what I have repeatedly said is that we must partake of Christ's resurrected life, because He is the "first resurrection" to overcome the second death. We do this when we are born again of His Spirit and have everlasting life. Since every human body is moral & corruptible, our bodies are...

    It has two groups of those who die in faith having part in the first resurrection which is the resurrection of Christ. The first group are the martyred headless souls John sees alive in heaven after physical death. Because during their lifetimes they lived and reigned with Christ in time...

Having died in faith waiting for Christ, the Redeemer to come to rescue them from death...

    You quote it but fail to understand what it says. To be born again is to have part in the resurrection of Christ. It is spiritual re-birth by His Spirit in us that makes us to partake of Christ's resurrection. To be born again of the Spirit is to be made alive with Christ SPIRITUALLY...

    That's why our body of flesh will be resurrected immortal and incorruptible in an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds. We will still have human bodies but changed from corruptible & mortal and from perishable to imperishable which we are in this life. If we shall become spirit beings why...

    Yes, that does appear to be the problem David. You have no understanding of what Christ means when He tells us the life we receive through Him is everlasting. You seem to see only with physical vision that which is of this world materially! You seem to have no understanding of what it means...

    No David believers do not die! Our body of flesh and bone ceases to have life but we as spiritual body of believers still have life through Christ's Spirit in us. We have Christ's promise that His Spirit shall be with us, giving us everlasting life after our body dies, and He will remain with...

    How many times must I repeat none, but Christ, are bodily resurrected to never die again before an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds? I have repeatedly said we are of the first resurrection because CHRIST IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION! You know this is true and then deny it is true. We are...

    I don't know what to say to you FOG! If you have not partaken of the resurrection through the Spirit of Christ then you remain dead in, your trespasses and sins and without eternal life that comes only by faith. Believing that Christ is the Resurrection and the LIFE, not in this life only but...
