That which is hopefully now dead is your refusal to read context so that you can continue to argue your unbiblical opinions.

Exactly! He's changing 'as' to 'is'.

So according to you the dead in Christ will rise first. What about those alive at His coming, when will they rise? Will they too be resurrected even though they have not died? Or will they be caught up together with the resurrected dead to meet the Lord in the air? What does Paul say after...

But John had not been martyred when he writes of being in the spirit. He is alive in TIME, he symbolizes a thousand years receiving revelation from God. The martyrs are bodiless because they were beheaded and are living souls. The reason they are alive in heaven is because like John, in TIME...

People physically dead cannot die to themselves in this age or the lake of fire.

Scripture tells us that being cast into the lake of fire is the SECOND DEATH! All who are cast there, those who are not found written in the book of life will be destroyed body and soul, just as Christ tells us is the reason we should fear going there.

Matthew 10:28 (KJV) And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Rather than let my imagination run wild, assuming all manner of things, I simply cling to what is written. Some, whose names are not found written in the book of life shall be cast into the lake of fire THAT IS THE SECOND DEATH. I will not argue for eternal torment, nor will I argue against...

How can it be temporary Patrick? They will be destroyed by body and soul. When there is no longer a soul, there is no longer life. Matthew 10:28 (KJV) And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in...

Your arguments for universalism are not founded on Scripture but are founded upon emotionalism!

It is you Patrick who must spin, twist and somersault to avoid acknowledging that ALL cannot mean without exception! It means "all people" without distinction, or peoples of faith from every nation, tribe, kindred and tongue who believe. If you try to force "all people" to all without...

Why would you believe that infants dying in infancy cannot be among the elect of God and therefore, like John-the-Baptist have the Spirit in them to keep them alive even after death? Luke 1:13-15 (KJV) But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife...

It appears you get your doctrinal understanding just about anywhere but the Bible, because here again you offer opinion without supporting Scripture. Judgment happens at the great white throne, and the lake of fire the consequence of what is found written of the dead standing before God there...

What he always omits is that Christ is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the earth according to promise. That does not mean what he seems to imagine that Christ must be twice slain. In keeping this promise ordained in heaven before creation, Christ must still literally be born a man, and...

This is a new one for me! "Christianity has absolutely nothing to do with belief"???? "Truth does not require belief, its fact". Yes, truth is indeed fact. If one lives and dies without believing the truth, that is fact of salvation found Christ alone by God's grace alone through faith...

I always smile inwardly when you present this argument using this verse out of context. We all know why you do this. Presenting the context of this passage unequivocally proves you err in believing it proves two bodily resurrections. The living souls who have physically died will return with...

Believers live and reign with the Lord in life and in death. John, speaking while alive is living and reigning with Christ in time, this age, symbolized a thousand years. John didn't stop living and reigning with Christ after his death, he simply left his dead body and spiritually ascended to...

If we are not found IN CHRIST we shall not be saved! Humanity is without excuse because ALL mankind is in Adam before he/she believes in Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:22 (KJV) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Yes, once physical death and the grave that holds them are destroyed in the lake of fire that is the second death then comes the end and then comes the next eternal age on the new earth where there shall be no more sin or death.

Exactly! ALL who are IN CHRIST shall be made alive, just as ALL who are in Adam die. Only those who belong to Christ will be with Christ at His coming again. Then comes the end! No more time, time shall be no more. No time for getting right with God after physical death or after He comes again.
