1 | Thy will be done, statement or fact? | Matt 6:9 | DocTrinsograce | 137511 | ||
What is the origin of this doctrine? "There will be a second resurrection where everyone will be given the knowledge of Jesus and that will be their opportunity. But not now." On what scriptures is this founded? Where does scripture mention a "second" resurrection? | ||||||
2 | Thy will be done, statement or fact? | Matt 6:9 | dreamslip | 137515 | ||
Here are verses pertaining to a second resurrection, but I don't think it is to eternal life...... 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. I believe everyone knows Jesus in the first resurrection. What I'm curious of is why even resurrect the wicked in a second resurrection for judgement if they are already condemned. Public punishment??? |
