I don't think so. Of course everyone falls short of the glory of God so everyone is unjust so the second resurrection is about everyone as is covered in the Matt 25:31 and following passage. It makes no sense to me that God would raise someone from the dead to kill them. I don't think that will occur.
we all have our opinions. I just go with what revelation 20:13 states "the sea will give up their dead" and they will be judged.
I think it may be like our names written in the Book of life. God does not need to write down our names to remember who we are. I don't think there is a literal book with our names literally written down. I think this is to give us an idea of God remembering us. Perhaps the judgment consist of no gift of eternal life for the wicked.

John 3:16 Whosover believes in Him shall not perish but will have eternal life.thats eisegesis not exegesis. Thats putting your opinion into the word of God, not the other way around.

Disagreeing with Gradyll is eisegesis not exegesis."i don't think there is a literal book" is eisegesis not exegesis.
This is a point you have to prove, not just state.
And you don't put your opinion into interpreting the Bible? You assume the literal interpretation is the best. I think ususally that is incorrect.thats eisegesis not exegesis. Thats putting your opinion into the word of God, not the other way around.

You cannot prove anything about spiritual things. It is all based on faith.
Another good point. I'm just repeating what pastors told me my whole life. Even when I was a christian, whenever I heard "God can't be in the presence of sinfulness" I always thought "yeah he can...he does it all the time"

Well as we've been talking about for the past 20-30ish pages, I think we have yet to establish that a god exists or that a hell exists to be saved from. And if it did exist, then we would have to deal with the problem of God being incredibly evil and spiteful to send people there; especially for the "sin" of asking for proof. The same proof that Doubting Thomas asked for and received.
No. He can't.
You must be thinking we're in Heaven.
Not so.
NASBThen it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?” But when Jesus heard this, He said, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. “But go and learn what this means: ‘I Desire compassion, and not sacrifice,’ for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
No you cannot prove God even exists. If you cannot prove that you cannot prove God was raised from the dead.you can prove the resurrection

Some things in the Bible are not literally true. It is not clear that God exists. If we believe it, we must accept it on faith.

Christianity does not offer a resurrection of the natural body. It offers a resurrection of a spiritual body. 1 Cor 15.
