Jerry you disregard the scripture below, why?
There ya go Jerry, trying to pawn off that the resurrection of the dead in Christ seen does not apply to John 6:40 below, a teaching in complete error!
There are two groups seen!
1.) The dead in Christ, those in the grave being "Resurrected"
2.) Those that are alive remaining are "caught up"
How long will you deny this basic scriptural truth?
Jerry you keep claiming a pre-trib rapture, no such thing in scripture.
You claim others are negligent with the scriptures, you ever consider that you have been looking in a mirror.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 is the dispy claim of a pretrib rapture, you will closely note the "Resurrection" of the dead in Christ.
John 6:40 clearly teaches the dead in Christ are "Resurrected" on the last day.
Jerry you teach in error that this last day does not apply to the verses above?
100% error.
Jerry you clearly disregard this scriptural truth, trying desperately to keep the false teaching of a pre-trib rapture alive.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17KJV
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
John 6:40KJV
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

2. You are wrong. I didn’t say that the resurrection of the dead wasn’t true in John 6:40.
You must be dreaming!
I said John 6:40 is the resurrected of the dead.
The dead will be raised at the last day. This is what the First Resurrection is (Resurrection of the dead).
John 6:40 and Revelation 15:1-2 are both the resurrection of the Dead.
They are not a part of 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 which is the resurrection of the dead and resurrection of the living believers.
1 Corinthians 15:50; Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Verse 51: Behold I show you a MYSTERY, We shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed, Verse 52; In a moment , in the twinkling Of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall all be changed.
3. The resurrection of living believers was a mystery.
Jesus taught the Old Covenant and taught the resurrection of the dead only. He never mentioned about living believers being resurrected otherwise Paul would have never said it was a mystery.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 is not a part of John 6:40.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 is Resurrection of the dead that Christ brings with him from Heaven and they shall be raised first and then those which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
4. Why do you keep denying the difference between the resurrection of the dead only John 6:40 which was not a mystery and 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 and 1 Corinthians 15:50-52 of living believers and dead believers which was a mystery?
Why do you deny that the time of the resurrection dead only John 6:40 is not the same time timing as 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17;1 Corinthians 15:50-52?
5. John 6:40 is at the last day which is Revelation 15:1-2 which is right before the last 7 vials not on the Day of the Lord.
First Thessalonians 4:15-17, 1 Corinthians 15:50-52 is after the church age is done and raptured.
Revelation 4:1 John is taken up through the door to Heaven and told to come up hither and he would be shown the things hereafter.
The next scene is the Heavenly scene.
Verse 4: And about the Throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting; and they had on their heads crowns of Gold.
Verse 10; The four and 20 elders fall down before him that sat on the throne and worship him that liveth forever and ever and casttheir crowns before the throne....
Revelation 5:9-10: And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; for thou wast Alain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation; And hast made us unto our God Kings, and Priests, AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH.
These are the Old Testament and church age saints that are in Heaven and who will reign in the KoH which is prophetic from this time when they are in Heaven.
Face it all you can do is disagree but you cannot rebut the truth that the scriptures show that I gave.
So you are wrong and you will always be wrong because you do not want to face the biblical truth.Jerry kelso
