    Two Resurrections of the Dead

    Scripture tells us Christ conquered the second death only for those who partake of the first resurrection. IOW those who have part in the resurrection life of Christ while living on this earth, need have no fear of the second death, because it cannot harm those who are of Christ's resurrection...

    Two Resurrections of the Dead

    Paul says the first resurrection, which is the resurrection of Christ that comes through faith of Christ, the righteousness of God by faith, with the resurrection from death to life. When we have partaken of Christ's resurrection in life, having fellowship with Him in sufferings, being made...

    Two Resurrections of the Dead

    In death man's body returns to the dust, and the spirit in man returns to God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7 (KJV) Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. This truth applies to every human. The question we all face is whether...

    Two Resurrections of the Dead

    The better resurrection is remaining faithful even unto death. These faithful saints chose to physically die knowing that death would not keep them from obtaining a better resurrection in heaven. Hebrews 11:35-40 (KJV) Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were...

    Two Resurrections of the Dead

    There is a reason we don't find a single eyewitness to testify these saints of old went into Jerusalem of this earth. Not even the centurion and those with him who witnessed the cross were eyewitnesses of this remarkable event three days later. Jerusalem of earth ceased being the holy city...

    Man's Works Burned Off the Earth at Jesus' Coming

    What you fail to acknowledge is how Joel's prophesy includes both the Day of the Lord that came with power at Pentecost, as well as the "great and the terrible day of the Lord" that will come on the last day of the Lord when the seventh angel begins to sound that time shall be no more. All...

    Paul claimed 3 times that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality.

    It helps to quote this passage in context. Christ shows us the hour coming, and now is, is when mankind is able to hear His Word and believe on Him. Those who hear and believe in the hour that has NOW come is when we obtain everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but have passed...

    Man's Works Burned Off the Earth at Jesus' Coming

    You're only seeing the Day of the Lord from what is written in the New Testament. Why does James in the book of Acts, quoting Peter, tell us that at Pentecost when the Spirit was poured out is fulfillment of the prophet Joel? The Day of the Lord will indeed come again, but not to usher in...

    Paul claimed 3 times that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality.

    But the one having done good is resurrected to life, and the one having done evil resurrection of condemnation. The one resurrected to life are the same ones physically raised from the grave and changed from mortal to immortal, and corruptible to incorruptible. This is not believers being...

    Our hope for the Future

    You're conflating the two Day of the Lord events. The first Day of the Lord all the prophets foretell as not a single day, but TIME that came with the advent of Christ coming to earth a man. The Day of the Lord had a beginning and also has an end day, when Christ comes again one day, not as...

    Our hope for the Future

    Yeah, I agree! To date the Day of the Lord is around two thousand years and will not end until the last Day of the Lord when Christ comes the second time. Again, can you biblically prove what you allege? If the first advent of the Messiah is not the Day of the Lord, why do we read in Acts...

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    Job 19:25 (KJV) For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: Hebrews 1:2 (KJV) Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Acts 2:17 (KJV) And it shall come to...

    But what can you prove? We're not interested in hearing what you think, but what you can prove is truth from Scripture!

    How would we know whether you have correctly interpreted the Scripture since you fail to give them?

    Our hope for the Future

    That's why we are called to study the Word and not simply pick and choose verses out of context we think will support our preconceived opinions. We study the Word to rightly divide, rather than search the Word to find verses we think fit our preconceived opinions. Here's a shock for you! I...

    Our hope for the Future

    If or when you can present Scripture to support your opinions, then we will have something to discuss. This is after all a Bible forum for discussing our understanding of Scripture. Not interested in discussing unbiblical opinions, and that is what we have here until you prove what you assume...

    Our hope for the Future

    Where in this passage does it say these are 144,000 MALES? Revelation 14:1-5 (KJV) And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of...
