Title: Resurrection of Damnation
Post by: saintwalee on July 03, 2014, 06:51:13 AM
I'll be damned!

Joh 5:26  For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
Joh 5:27  And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Joh 5:28  Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Joh 5:29  And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.


The First Resurrection:
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.


Eph 2:4  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Eph 2:6  And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7  That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9  Not of works, lest any man should boast.



The Second Resurrection:
Rev 20:11  And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Rev 20:12  And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
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.


The First Death
1Co 15:20  But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1Co 15:21  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
1Co 15:22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1Co 15:23  But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.


A look back at Genesis
Gen 2:7  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Gen 2:17  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Rev 13:8  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Moo, God breathed into man the breath of life, but when Adam sinned, the breath of God, or the Spirit of God within Adam died  "for in the DAY you shall eat of it, you will surely die". Again, in my own opinion, I believe that the Spirit in Adam, Christ, took upon himself Adam's sin, so that Adam could live (the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world). And we see that Adam did live for hundreds of years. Furthermore, in my own opinion, I believe that Christ has been in every human since then, always bearing our sins. It wasn't until Jesus was able to live a sinless life, but was crucified, became the ultimate sacrifice, to free the Christ within, thus becoming the firstfruits. Upon his assensionn, he thus led captivity captive, freeing, or resurrecting Christ within us!

Heb 9:28  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

The Second Death
Therefore, Moo, if the first death, was that of Christ, the second death is that of the flesh.
Heb 9:27  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

And of course, Flesh and Blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.

The Grave

Joh 5:28  Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Joh 5:29  And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.


Moo, the grave is not the grave as we think of it, but is our physical body. There are countless people who have never been buried in a grave; some are cremated, some are buried at sea, etc. Again, this would make sense as the Christ within us would be resurrected unto eternal life (from which he came), and the body unto eternal damnation. Damn means to stop, so the life of the flesh is stopped. Thankfully else it would continue in sin forever. Also notice that this judgement takes place in nothing, for the heaven and the earth have fled away.
