AMEN!!!!!!!!
John Riffe "It really is unwise to confuse the two dimensions of "death" as well as to confuse the two dimensions of "resurrection" in the increasingly awkward effort to force all fulfillment of Scripture by 70AD."
"The 30-70AD Millennium view that the resurrection that Paul and the Apostles looked forward to was the spiritual/covenantal life they already had via faith in Christ, is fatally flawed, (2 Tim 2:11-18 Phillippians 3:10-13). It leads directly to Universalism, the kind of preterist Universal Salvation that rallys around Max King aka “Comprehensive Grace” that goes "Beyond Salvation" as presented by Jesus and His Apostles in the New Testament record.
Let us remember that it was Hymenaeus & Philetus who were saying things like, "Since the 1st resurrection of the just that is already past was all about people "coming to spiritual/covenantal life" in Christ (Rev 20:4), the resurrection of the rest of the dead when Jesus comes back will be about everybody else "coming to spiritual/covenantal life" in Christ (Rev 20:5), too: nobody but the Devil is going to Hell!" (2 Tim 2:11-18 Phillippians 3:10-13). This is how 30-70AD Millennialism's Gnostic-style "spiritual/covenantal resurrection" leads directly to Universalism."
