1 foot is as 12 inches and 12 inches as 1 footWhat part of 2 Peter 3:8 dont you understand?
One day is a thousand years, ans a thousand years one day?
is it one day or a thousand years?
1 foot is as 12 inches and 12 inches as 1 foot
1 day as 1000 years and 1000 years as 1 day
or is it a representation of no measurement of time and distance ?
They are literally true, one day is a thousand years is conveying to the human mind there is no literal time in Revelation 20:1-6, that is the Lords spiritual realm.24 hours is as 1 day. 1 day is as 24 hours. If those statements are literally true, why wouldn't 1 day as 1000 years and 1000 years as 1 day, not be literally true as well?
Can you give in detail a summarize of what you think it means ?They are literally true, one day is a thousand years is conveying to the human mind there is no literal time in Revelation 20:1-6, that is the Lords spiritual realm.
I don't get your reasoning sometimes? There's only one group in view in that sentence, and that group is the rest of the dead.
...
The text is only meaning these, so to say 'only' like I have been saying, this is the correct conclusion to come to.
I know this wasn't directed at me, but this is too simple. The first resurrection is for the righteous only. The second resurrection is for both the righteous and the wicked.
In other words, the righteous get two resurrections. A spiritual, and a physical. Those who take part in the spiritual resurrection (accepting Jesus) don't have to fear the lake of fire.
Please provide scripture to support this Bible interpertation.
Paul is not saying that he dies daily. He's saying that he faces death daily, as in he could die at any time. He's explaining that he has hope in a resurrection because Jesus was resurrected, and if Jesus did not rise then his hope is in vain.Do you not see how far you have stretched the meaning , this is not a bodily resurrection- if it is then we are resurrected every day of our lives if we follow
1 Cor 15 (KJV)
31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
The bodily resurrection happens at the last day, just as Jesus and Paul both said.When speaking of Revelation 20 it is speaking of a literal body resurrection that was dead and now risen bodily to reign with Christ for 1000 years
So because it might confuse people we shouldn't believe it? Really?it is not correct to say that we have two resurrections as that will confuse people who are not studied on the subject and cause them to think righteous rise from the grave twice
Why do you insist that one can only rise physically?Wrong . Where you are creating confusion is calling it a resurrection to compare with scriptural resurrection , that is why the scripture makes it clear to avoid this confusion , we understand the point but you are creating unnecessary confusion by categorizing as a resurrection as a spirit does not die so it cannot be resurrected
For which part of my statement would you like me to post supporting scriptures?
I'm not sure why you take what scripture so clearly defines as a single resurrection and divide it into two.Revelation 20:4-6
There is one future resurrection of all that have ever lived, both righteous wicked John 5:28-29.
This same event is also seen in Daniel 12:1-2, that will take place near the time of great tribulation, when the final judgment takes place, as the book of life is open.
This event of the resurrection takes place on "The Last Day" John 6:40
Two resurrections will take place on the last day, "First" the righteous to eternal life, "Second" the wicked to eternal damnation in the Second Death/Resurrection
"First" Righteous, Eternal Life.
"Second" Wicked, Second Death/Resurrection
The saved believer is blessed to be in the "First" resurrection, on such the Second Death/Resurrection has no power.
Yes Paul IS saying He dies daily - it is referencing the scripture to pick to up your cross daily - which means to crucify your flesh daily - not your skin of your body but biblical flesh the carnal nature of mankind that can lead us into temptations of the flesh - Paul is saying to bury the carnal temptations in order to please GodPaul is not saying that he dies daily. He's saying that he faces death daily, as in he could die at any time. He's explaining that he has hope in a resurrection because Jesus was resurrected, and if Jesus did not rise then his hope is in vain.
The last day ...depending on how the term is usedThe bodily resurrection happens at the last day, just as Jesus and Paul both said.
For which part of my statement would you like me to post supporting scriptures?
Of course Christ's resurrection was bodily, just as we will experience a bodily resurrection, but first we must be reconciled to God and that is our first resurrection.Romans 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Take this passage for instance. His resurrection is clearly meaning Christ's, where I'm certain you wouldn't dispute that. His resurrection then, was it bodily or not?
The word "resurrection" in the new testament always refers to the"Bodily" never the spiritual.That would only be the correct conclusion to come to if both resurrections were of the same type.
Resurrection literally means "to rise again". Now as you now, man suffers two deaths. The first is spiritual (fall into sin), the second is natural (fall into the grave). So it is with the resurrections.
As "resurrection" means "to rise again", there are two ways that we rise again. The first resurrection brings us back to God through Jesus. ie. we rise up spiritually from our fall into sin. The second revives our bodies. ie. we physically rise up again after falling into the grave.
As with your example of the two groups of people, the first group rises from sin in the first resurrection, and then also rises physically in the second resurrection. The second group only rises physically. So it would be incorrect to say that "only the second group rises physically".
Simply put, the second resurrection gives us life, but the first resurrection gives us eternal life.
I see the point you are making but it is in conflict with Rev 20 as it speaks of bodily resurrection and even Jesus did not use the term resurrection in that regard , Jesus uses the term born -again in spirit - not resurrection in spirit just as Jesus does not use the term born again in reference to a bodily resurrectionOf course Christ's resurrection was bodily, just as we will experience a bodily resurrection, but first we must be reconciled to God and that is our first resurrection.

You post the scripture that stated "Both" that means "Two" different resurrections at the same time.I'm not sure why you take what scripture so clearly defines as a single resurrection and divide it into two.
Acts 24:15
and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
Spiritual ResurrectionThis one
the righteous get two resurrections. A spiritual, and a physical
It can only mean one thing. There are no more days after that day. The sun will no longer rise and set. There will be no night.The last day ...depending on how the term is used
No it does mean at the same time , just as when a parent has two children in High school and one is a senior and the other is a sophomore and they are both going to graduate , it does not mean at the same time - just that it will happen to bothYou post the scripture that stated "Both" that means "Two" different resurrections at the same time.
"First" the righteous, then "Second" the wicked.
Really?I see the point you are making but it is in conflict with Rev 20 as it speaks of bodily resurrection
... and even Jesus did not use the term resurrection in that regard , Jesus uses the term born -again in spirit - not resurrection in spirit just as Jesus does not use the term born again in reference to a bodily resurrection
