The Origin and Destiny of man

[Revelations won]

True religion should clearly answer the question of the origin and destiny of man.

1. Where did we come from?

2 Why are we here?

3. What is the eternal destiny of man?

May we hear your clear knowledge of the above questions.

[John17_3]

What is there in the Scriptures that gives us the idea that Adam will be resurrected?

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (1 Corinthians 15:22)

Why is all not in context?
What does the next verse say?
Does that refer to wicked people?
According to the bible, there is no hope for the wicked. They have no future. Proverbs 10:28; Proverbs 11:7
Only the just/righteous, and the unjust/unrighteous are restored to life. Acts 24:15

"All" includes Adam.

Not according to verse 23. Did you take a look at that?

Being sorry is not a prerequisite for being resurrected.

That is true.

All includes those sorry as well as those that are not sorry![/size]

It depends on what you are referring to.
If you are referring to those mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15, these refer only to the righteous, and these are all who have repented of their sins, and have the hope of heavenly life.
You can read from verse 18, to get the sense of that.

If you are referring to John 5:28, and Acts 24:15, yes, this resurrection includes both the sorry, and those not sorry.
The context matters in how we apply the scriptures.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (1 Corinthians 15:22)

"All" includes Adam.

All believers will be resurrected at the Second Coming and all deceased nonbelievers will be resurrected after the Millennium.

Every believer plus every nonbeliever equals all.

Adam will be resurrected after the Millennium:


But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. (Revelation 20:5)

What is there in the Scriptures that gives us the idea that Adam will be resurrected?

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (1 Corinthians 15:22)

"All" includes Adam.

No, "all" need not necessarily include Adam. Paul was just showing the difference between what Adam did with what Jesus ultimately did. All of the human race that accept Jesus as their Redeemer will be made alive. Accepting Christ is paramount here.

Christianity divides mankind into two groups -- believers in Christ and nonbelievers in Christ.

All deceased believers in Christ will be resurrected at the Second Coming:

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. (I Corinthians 15:22-23)

After all deceased believers are resurrected, all of those remaining dead are nonbelievers.

The rest of the dead (the nonbelievers) will be resurrected a 1,000 years later after the Millennium:

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. (Revelation 20:4-5)

Deceased believers plus deceased nonbelievers equals all of the dead.

If "all" doesn't include Adam whom we know has died, then it isn't all!!

All who have believed in Christ and those whose hearts would be inclined to accept him is the "all." Those who have willfully and deliberately disobeyed God and never repented would not be resurrected. God isn't going to resurrect those who are purely evil. Other non-believers will be resurrected...just not the unrepentant wrong-doers who loved evil things and would refuse to follow God and Christ.

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. (Revelation 20:12)

Why are "All who have believed in Christ and those whose hearts would be inclined to accept him" being judged after their resurrection??

Dear Onewithhim,

Your response was:

“No, "all" need not necessarily include Adam. Paul was just showing the difference between what Adam did with what Jesus ultimately did. All of the human race that accept Jesus as their Redeemer will be made alive. Accepting Christ is paramount here.”

My response is:

You have not shown any scripture that states that Our dear Father Adam is excluded from the resurrection.

You have not shown that Adam and Eve have had any experience whatever that their eyes were opened to understand the difference between good and evil.

You should also remember the everything that God had planted in theGarden of Eden was very good including “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”.

Why would God have allowed Lucifer to also be in the Garden of Eden in the first place?

You have not shown from scripture where God had cursed Adam for making his very first experience in exercising the God given power of agency in the garden.

All who have believed in Christ and those whose hearts would be inclined to accept him is the "all." Those who have willfully and deliberately disobeyed God and never repented would not be resurrected. God isn't going to resurrect those who are purely evil.

So you're claiming that God got it wrong when He stated that "all" will be resurrected.

He said that believers in Christ will be resurrected at the Second Coming.

And He said that every nonbeliever will be resurrected after the Millennium and face judgment.

I'll have to side with God on this one.

Every human who ever lived will be resurrected, some to everlasting life.

To do otherwise would not be just and true:

Revelation 15:3

And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

onewithhim is not ignoring the context.
1 Corinthians 15, "all" refers only to the righteous, as is seen in the verse 23.

He said that believers in Christ will be resurrected at the Second Coming.

And He said that every nonbeliever will be resurrected after the Millennium and face judgment.

Where can I find that in scripture?

It is right and just for God to execute persons, and not resurrect them. It is also right and just for God to leave in the dust, those whom he does not deem fit for life.
We cannot judge for God.

Consider two examples, from the Bible.

1. Acts 5:3-10
   1 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, 2 and kept back some of the proceeds for himself, with his wife’s full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the proceeds of the land? 4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.” 5 And as he heard these words, Ananias collapsed and died; and great fear came over all who heard about it. 6 The young men got up and covered him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him.
   
   7 Now an interval of about three hours elapsed, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter responded to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for this price?” And she said, “Yes, for that price.” 9 Then Peter said to her, “Why is it that you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well.” 10 And immediately she collapsed at his feet and died; and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
2. Matthew 27:3-5
   3 Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You shall see to it yourself!” 5 And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and left; and he went away and hanged himself.

Mark 14:21
The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

John 17:12
While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

Matthew 12:32
Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.

Mark 3:29
But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.

Please answer the following:
Did persons commit the unforgivable sin?
Would anyone who has blasphemed against the holy spirit be resurrected?

Sin has nothing at all to do with who is resurrected. Every human who ever died will be resurrected, even those who committed the unforgivable sin.

"All" includes those who blasphemed against the holy spirit.


For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. (Romans 6:14)

Sin was a problem under the Old Testament. That problem was fixed under the New Testament.

Deceased believers will be resurrected to everlasting spiritual bodied life at the Second Coming, and deceased nonbelievers will be resurrected to human life after the thousand year Millennium.

That's everyone!
