It doesn't say "spiritual resurrection", it IS a spiritual resurrection! What part of man is "dead in trespasses and sins" before they are quickened/made alive (spiritually) by being born again? We are physically alive, but spiritually man is DEAD without the presence of the Holy Spirit within...

The problem is that the chosen generation is not limited to any single generation of what you reckon as 40 years. I believe most people get caught up in trying to determine whether or not we are near to the Lord returning. Most readily accept that Christ came with His Kingdom, and that His...

What about the "chosen generation"? Do you define them also as 40 years? 1 Peter 2:9-10 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light...

You apparently cannot biblically prove that ALL the parables of Christ are given to point us to the SPIRITUAL Kingdom of God using earthly, familiar examples of things that we might know His Kingdom has come. Which is what I have consistently stated, and believe. You NEED this particular...

You got that right!

This topic seems to be filling the forums of late. I agree! When Christ spoke to these first century Jewish disciples they were "this generation" because they are the beginning of a chosen generation of saints, and through their faithfulness to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, the...

We've all said the same thing! You are either blind or you refuse to see, which is it? We have all said and renumerated faithful saints without any consideration whatsoever of their ethnic makeup is "the Israel of God" where there is neither Jew nor Gentile but Christians. PERIOD!

Really, you don't have to read or reply to EVERY post! If you object to long posts why read them and then have the audacity to complain about there length? All the doctrines of Scripture are related, because the Word of God is a cohesive whole. It doesn't bother me in the least to be ignored...

Prove what you allege! Prove from the Word of God that a parable is not always given to show the spiritual Kingdom of God has come using things that are familiar. I've given Scripture to prove what I allege, I shall patiently await the Scripture you think may prove the parable of the fig tree...

You're right there is not one single Gentile Christian called Israel! However every Gentile of faith with Jews of faith are called "the Israel of God." One is an ethnic people, the other all people of faith.

You're a rare breed Marty fox! Love & blessings.

Exactly! And what was the generation Christ was speaking to called? 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: This...

Then show them in a concise manner, that we too may know! The discussion I was having with TS was necessarily long, because he had many bullet points that needed to be addressed. If you have a problem with overly long replies you don't inject yourself into the discussion. This is humorous...

We already know that Jesus is near and at the doors. He is but the Gospel spoken and believed away from each and every one of us. The signs Christ gives regarding His coming again is not a fig tree showing life, because His coming will be sudden and unexpected for all who are not watching and...

The spirit is the breath that gives the physical body of every living, breathing creature life for this earth. Without a spirit every living breathing creature upon the earth would be a corpse of rotting flesh and bones. What makes mankind differ from the animals is that man that is born again...

Of course Paul is not saying that Christ shall bring the dead Christians with Him when He comes again. Paul is saying that the spiritual body of believers alive with Christ in heaven after they physically died in faith will return with Christ. The spirit is the breath that gives life to the...

1 Corinthians 15:44-50 (KJV) It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is...

Because the "first resurrection" that every man MUST have part in is the resurrection of Christ. He is the first resurrection from the dead to never die again. When we have part in the resurrection of Christ we have gone from being spiritually dead to being spiritually alive. IOW when we have...

You're entitled to your OPINIONS! However I find you have not shown from the Scriptures that what I've said is false, so why should anyone bother to listen to one's unproven OPINIONS? You do understand a living soul has a body and spirit, which is how there is physical life upon the earth? I...

None will be physically resurrected before an hour that is coming when the last trumpet sounds.
