    Understanding the Resurrection, Part 4

    We have previously shown two types of resurrections The First Resurrection, the resurrection unto life, which will consist of only the faithful over-comers of the Gospel age, and the resurrection of judgment, or of the unjust, which will be for the remainder of mankind during the millennial...

    Understanding the Resurrection, Part 3

    The First Resurrection (Continued from our previous post.) The Church as joint-heirs with their Lord have been begotten “…to an inheritance incorruptible, (immortal), and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you…” 1 Pet 1:4 “And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye...

    Understanding the Resurrection, Part 2

    The First Resurrection We will now show from the scriptures that there are three different types of resurrections mention in the scriptures. By “type” of course we mean the manner or way in which the resurrection is to take place. First off we have already shown that there is to be a...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    "In His image" does not mean to be like God in the sense of possessing his physical qualities, his nature, a divine immortal being. Even our Lord (in his pre-human existence) “who, existing in the form of God (a spirit being), didn't consider equality with God (to be like God) a thing to be...

    Questions on "Understanding the Resurrection"

    The following are some interesting questions asked by a member of the forum in response to our study of the Resurrection. First question: Am I right in thinking that the first resurrection will take place at the end of the tribulation period? Actually the first resurrection takes place prior...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    As we have attempted to explain over and over again the reward given to the faithful over-comers, the saints, “the body of him” is immortality, life inherent, this in essence is eternal life, but this (type) of eternal life is one which is only given to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, likewise...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    Nor did I ever say that he would not give his own people eternal life, his own people being in reference to mankind, NOT to his brethren, they receive their life from the Father himself. Mankind will receive life from Christ, and if they should be proven faithful during the “little season” at...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    So then you are saying that it was not only the fact that Adam was made by God, but what truly made Adam a son of God was the fact that he received the “breath of life” from God, hummm! Interesting so then that must mean that birds, fish and animals are likewise sons of God seeing as they...

    The Hour of Temptation

    Our last possibility combines aspects of both the first and the second that the hour of temptation relates more specifically to the great time of trouble approaching, (minus the rapture of course). "From the day of Pentecost until the present time the Lord’s dear sheep have been beset by the...

    The Hour of Temptation

    “Because you have kept the word of my perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that {hour} which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” (NAU Rev 3:10) What is the hour of temptation, and when specifically will it take place? The...

    Understanding the Resurrection, Part 1

    What of the Resurrection, Who is it for? In this study we will be looking at the four different types of resurrections. First off, what do the scriptures say of the resurrection, and who will be resurrected? “But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was...

    The Great Day of Atonement

    It is recalled that to God's ancient people there were appointed five great festivals, all of a pictorial or illustrative character: 1) The Feast of Trumpets -- welcoming the new civil year on the first of Tizri (September, October), one day only. The feast was of special significance every...

    Then you have a problem because Adam was not a direct creation of God either, and yet he too is referred to as a Son of God. (Luke 3:38) You may choose to disannul the sons of God, but I doubt he does.

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    You are not "rightly dividing the word of God", you are mixing the reward of the Church (the "crown of life", the divine nature, immortality) with that which mankind will receive. Yes its true Christ will bestow life upon mankind, that he will raise the dead, but the life they receive is not the...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    There are no scriptures, this was merely a speculative remark, based upon the Lord's word that he did not create the earth in vain, but intended it to be inhabited, thus it is a good assumption that this is his future intention in regards to many of the other worlds throughout the universe...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    Sorry my friend, but you accuse others of self interpretation and yet the whole premise of most of your arguments thus far have been based upon your own self interpretation of the scriptures. You can't just simply quote a few scriptures and imagine they support your conclusions. If they don't...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    If you examine the scriptures thoroughly you will fine that inherent life is a quality only ascribed to divine beings, immortal beings. Man as well as angels are mortal beings, their life is dependent upon God for their existence and always will be. Just because the Lord states that man when...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    In the end they are all God's children, just existing on different planes of being. God has earthly sons, angelic or spiritual sons, and very soon divine sons. In my Father house are many mansions, many planes of being.

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    Actually this last part you have backwards, eternal life is what mankind is going to receive, but this life is dependent on an outside source for its existence, viz. the trees of life (the Christ head and body). Those who inherit the divine nature, the nature of God will have life inherent, life...

    Earth, Created to stand forever

    God's spiritual children, not his earthly children. Those proven worthy who receive of the divine nature, inherent life, life in themselves, and thus able to bestow life even as the Father. As God did not create the earth in vain, but created it to be inhabited, so too many of the worlds found...
