“When I add those together, it equals “all.””

If that verse were describing both resurrections, then both would have to happen at the last trump, in the twinkling of an eye. Of course that creates more contradictions, but that doesn’t seem to bother you.

No. Paul was speaking to Christians of his day, about their imminent resurrection: the first resurrection for the martyrs and the judges. There are so many clues that Paul is speaking in the present tense, I am surprised you missed them all. There are also clues from John, James and Peter, as well as all the direct statements made by Jesus. Which translation are you using?

It is a fact that there are some on this forum that are not bothered by contradictions within their doctrines. When they find them, they explain them away. Are you one of them?

I am not one of them, because I know that God doesn't contradict himself. When I read doctrines that appear to be contradictory, such as dispensationalism; I always fall back on these words from the wise: "Let God be true, but every man a liar." (Rom 3:4) Only men blinded by indoctrinations and imaginations, believe there are contradictions in the Word of God.
