(kriss;22601)
I think All means ALL I just think some will be quite surprised
That is what I have always thought too - the good, bad & ugly will all be changed. The reason I ask is that a friend, whose Biblical scholarship I greatly value, believes only those of the "first resurrection" (Rev.20:5) are changed into a spiritual body.Rev.20:5 but the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6.Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.I believe that the "dead" in that verse are the spiritually dead, those that will be taught during the millennium. He agrees but believes they are still in a flesh body....will continue to live as before, have children, etc. I, on the other hand, think they are in a spiritual body but....both of us know they are liable to die in the "second death." The odd thing is I have seen scripture that can lead one to either of the conclusions. Perhaps this is something we just can't know yet. So far....I'm leaning toward ALL being in a spiritual body........Whirlwind
