    That is pretty cool information, thank you.

    When Christ returns very soon, are you and your loved ones ready?

    One day you will die. That is the day you will be resurrected. Because people who are in the dirt, are no longer there anyway. God reconcile the world unto himself; but if you are still waiting on Christ Jesus that is up to you. Just know that God desires for us to be able to live a life for...

    Two Resurrections of the Dead

    On note of this; Rewards are talked about throughout the Gospel of Christ. This is why I believe that building on the spiritual foundations of Christ are important to the life a believer. It doesn't mean they have to go around and make everyone believe the way they do. It is simply to share the...

    Two Resurrections of the Dead

    When it comes to resurrection events - I believe the white throne judgement already occurred, and those who were dumped out of hell, many people do not believe that anyway it's okay if you do not. What does that mean for us today? When you die you are judged; and resurrected given a Spiritual...

    Two Resurrections of the Dead

    I have stated that there are three types of resurrections - that is all @Spiritual Israelite Resurrection of unbeliever those who chose nothing to do with God. Resurrection of the believers perhaps Children of God. Resurrection of those of the better resurrection perhaps Son or Daughters of God.

    Two Resurrections of the Dead

    The only place this greek word is used is in Philippians 3:11; resurrection ἐξανάστασιν (exanastasin) Noun - Accusative Feminine Singular Strong's 1815: A rising up and out, resurrection. From exanistemi; a rising from death. G1815 (Mounce) ἐξανάστασις exanastasis 1x: a raising up; a...

    Two Resurrections of the Dead

    The greek would be more telling, than just taking it for what it is. Did not say anything about separate events. Talking about the better resurrection. God has a place for unbelievers, and believers in the afterlife, according to John.

    The Lesson of Esau

    You remind me of this @marks, The Parable of the Net 47Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish. 48When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away...

    The Lesson of Esau

    Many pictures and types to learn from in the Old Testament - can make a person wise in leaning on the way God would have things done than ones own self. Which is now fulfilled in Christ Jesus - but one must learn about problems to understand how to handle it which comes through life experience...

    The Lesson of Esau

    It says in the Bible that Esau despised his birthright. Either way it goes, all of these things played into Jesus Christ coming about eventually.

    Two Resurrections of the Dead

    Sure @Spiritual Israelite, Paul was aiming for the resurrection of the dead, speaking of the better resurrection (check the greek) Philippians 3:11; Hebrews 11:35 As for what Jesus said, I believe what John concludes in Revelation 21-22.

    Two Resurrections of the Dead

    From what I understand there are three resurrections. Resurrection of Unbelievers. Resurrection of Believers. Perhaps Children. Resurrection of believers but better than then normal one. Perhaps Sons or Daughters of God. Do not know but there is only three, of course most people do not believe...

    The Lesson of Esau

    All about Esau God knows what is best, but human beings make their own decisions, which can lead to disaster most of the time. God did bless Esau with life, just like Pharaoh, in Egypt.

    Is the world under sin considering Jesus paid for it?

    We differ on that @Rich R. Though I do not disagree with the Spiritual principles here emphasized by Paul. We all do suffer and grown - the world itself. However in the spiritual part of it - looking towards hope the future to be with God in the Heavenly Jerusalem there is peace, knowing that...

    The Amazing Christ

    Thank God for freedom and liberty in Christ, and the Spirit that is given by God through faith. We can try to understand as much as we can, the important thing is to not let the knowledge puff us up, but let the Spirit guide.

    Do you believe building on spiritual foundations found on and in Christ are beneficial to you in the afterlife?

    Ephesians 2: Jew and Gentile Reconciled Through Christ 11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)—12 remember that at that time you were separate from...

    Do we live by Laws?

    Hebrews 8: A New Covenant 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says theLord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of...

    Do we live by Laws?

    Galatians 3: The Purpose of the Law …24So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.26You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27For all of you who were baptized into Christ...
