And why are they resurrected? TO FACE THE SECOND DEATH.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Now that would be pointless, would it not, to resurrect folks just to kill them ...after they were freed from past sins by death ...
You are making no sense my friend...
and the bible says they are resurrected to judgement, but of course they are free from past sins having had the wages paid in death, so they are judged [fairly] on what they do in the kingdom after death...
Equally it is absurd to say they are not saved when we know few find the way in this life [matt 7:14, Jude 1:14. Rev 7:3-8] but many are later saved [Rev 7:9-10] ... the many later saved can only come from the many destroyed Matt 7:13 , not from the few who find the narrow way Matt 7:14, simply a matter of numbers , few is not countless many ...
So we know that of those resurrected sinners from this earth countless amny are not only freed from hell, but saved by works at [fair] judgement day of God, no-one is prejudged by their sin in this world as religionists claim to scare people into church here, it is straight scripture of Christ and the saints that shows religion already has this wrong, the prophesied apostasy already is here
That is not what we read in revelation. Everyone will be resurrected to face judgement.
and indeed they will face judgemnet but we know they were freed from sin by death, and are judged by works
, so they can only be judged by their righteousness or not in the kingdom of God ... Peter points out that righteousness is the norm in the kingdom , so indeed as Jesus states [Rev 7:910] the many are saved at this later time [of judgement day] ... else indeed there is no point in resurrection or judgment if they are judged at death at religionsts claim despite that Jesus says the opposite
2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth,
wherein dwelleth righteousness.
[By the way the word translated 'damnation' means 'judgement' , not pre-judging , God's judgement is fair and those wicked of this earth who are righteous in the kingdom are forgiven Ezek 18:20- ]
How then can you say that those who do not rise to the resurrection of life is going to live anyway. You are totally defying scripture.
No, it is you who are being misled by a rather poor translation of the original... God makes it clear in many othere scriptures that there is no pre-judgment of anyone in this earth, except that a few are made saints so that they can run the kingdom in the new earth when the many are resurrected who were sinners all this life here
Dan 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Again the translation is very misleading and counter to other scriptures as it stands... the world translated 'everlasting' actually means lasting an age , which is a very different meaning ... we know there is a beginning and an end of time , so 'everlasting' is actually meaningless anyway , there is no 'infinity' of time , not in scripture, nor in Physics... Newton was proven wrong in his assumption decades ago , and scripture said he ws wrong long before he was born... but folks still believe init through bad habit and poor religious teachings of sinners ... the scripture though makes it clear that all creation will acept Jesus Christ, so there is no lasting contempt, it ends at the end of the age, as is the meaning of the original scroll, just sadly poorly mistranslated ...
The only time death is no longer an enemy is after the second death. Only those who rose in the first resurrection are free from the second death.
no death is any enemy any longer , Jesus said so... death frees man from bondage to the devil through sin ... the only other ways are grace or mercy of God and we know few find grace [Matt 7:14] but countless many are later saved [Rev 7:9-10] ... try to take it in, few are NOT countless many, few find the way in this life, the many are destroyed, but countless many are later saved... so you are not taking in the whole scripture which clarifies the mistranslations which have deceived you [and many others]
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 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.
But the rest of the dead i.e those who did not rise in the first resurrection LIVED NOT AGAIN until the thousand years are finished. These are the folks who will rise in the second resurrection on which the second death does have power.
Those of the first resurrection are indeed the few of Matt 7:14, the saints sealed by God under the new covenant in this earth and they are free of the second death because they are resurrected as necessary [for most died] and translated to spirit at Jesus' return... they are no longer required to prove anything to God, they have proved themselves in this life in baptism of 'fire' , trial of their love to the death
the many of teh second resurrection are judged on their works in the new earth kingdom to see if they have stopped sinning or not in the kingdom, and those who have sinned need to be freed of sin yet again in a second death , still the wages of sin is death, still death frees them from sin... but there is no need for a third death , life is so terrible for the wicked when there are no good folsk left to prey upon that the final trial ,the lake of 'fire' of God's truth about love , is enough to mke all Satan's followers desert him because evil no longer profits them when there is no easy prey left ... Satan is left alone and pathetic , and folsk stare at him and wonder that he ruled this earth, terrified nations into sin [Ezek 28, Isaiah 14] ,but God proves he is n god by his death and takes away his support by simply proving that evil doesn't benefit anyone , just seemed to do so when there was easy prey as in this world ... the prodigal son then too accepts Jesus, as Jesus states all creation will do in the end [and there is an end, not an everlasting of time] ... so why don't you believe what Jesus says, that all reation will accept him and so come to love ? [quoted above]
There will be no sin in the new earth. There is no third resurrection. Because of your anti-biblical doctrine, you must say now that there is a third resurrection. THE BIBLE DOES NOT SPEAK OF A THIRD RESURRECTION. After the second death is the remaking of the heavens and earth and all sin will be removed. The earth will be made new.
I have been quoting the scripture, so your accusation is nonsensical , so please reconsider your false witness ... you sin for no reason by it
I told you why Jesus' statements imply there must be a third resurrection, Satan and his close llies are part of creation and Jesus states that all creation will accept him [and so be saved in the end by enduring mercy of God]
As for there being no sin after the Millennium in the kingdom, that is not so, Satan himself is not resurrected, released from hell [hades] until after the Millenium and he immediately causes a war against the righteous :-
Rev 20:7 And
when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Rev 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
If your name is not written in the book of life then how can you get eternal life.
the scripture makes it clear that only those who are righteous remain in New Jerusalem in the kingdom of God , that the trial of the wicked is separated, outside ...the 'lake of fire'
an it si clear that few are written in the book of life in this world , but many are written in later [Rev 7:9-10] ... as Jesus states that all creation will accept him, we know that all will be written in at the end of time ... so it is only a question of when ... you read what isn't there because you listen to sinners and haven't studied and integrated all scripture before deciding what to believe... it is surely blind leading the blind if one has faith based upon sinners in preference to listening to all Jesus and the saints and prophets of God have had to say ... but it is clear that most will do the same in this life, as few find the strait narrow way before Jesus comes to take the few ...
ironically then , your own salvation depends upon your beliefs being wrong ... [since if you were a saint you would know all truth John 16:13 from God and not disagree with so much of scripture ]
The spirit of God is the breath of life and there is alot of biblical evidence for this as you have been shown before. Man was made a living soul consisting of body and spirit. But in hell the soul is completely destroyed.
Mat 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
The body is killed in the first death and the spirit goes back to God. In the second death in the lake of fire, it is implied here that everything will be destroyed. All you are doing, sad to say, is what the devil did in the garden of Eden. God said you shall surely die, the devil said you shall NOT surely die. The bible says the second death but you still say that after the second death there is a third resurrection, which cannot be found NOWHERE and I repeat NOWHERE in the bible.[/quote]
