It is much more complex than you know. There are at least three resurrections that we know of: One has already occurred; Two are yet to happen. The next one, for those in Yeshua, both the dead and those living, I expect to occur in the not too distant future. The final resurrection, after the millennial reign, is for everyone else (Those of which will stand before the throne of judgment). So those too, it seems, will have an opportunity of life everlasting, based on their works, as common sense would dictate.

The scriptures describe the above events clearly. Yeshua came to fulfill the Almighty's plan as laid out in the Torah. Yeshua kept the law and fulfilled that which he was commanded to do. Unlike us, Yeshua did not allow himself to be taken in by the one cast down to earth. We have inherited lies. Through our actions, we stupidity observe days set aside for false idols and gods. How smart is that?!

It is one thing to do so through ignorance, it's quite another to do so knowing better. All sin is forgiven, with few exceptions, due to the sacrifice Yeshua made for us. Those who accept and follow Yeshua will receive the gift of life everlasting, and sooner than the rest, who will queue for the final judgment.

Much of the mystery of the Almighty remains such. We are told it will eventually be revealed. This mystery is much more complex than we understand, or probably even need to know for now. The timing of Biblical events, that have already occurred, are of such miraculous coincidence that only a supernatural power could have accomplished such. Unfortunately, the darkness of this world has managed to obscure these miracles by co-opting observances the Almighty instructed us to always observe. We now observe events based on some of the most hideous practices imaginable. For example, the practice of coloring eggs at easter, harkens back to when eggs were originally dyed with the blood of sacrificed infants (Btw, aren't we sacrificing infants to the god of convenience today?!). Is this something you care to reenact, now that you know the real meaning behind it - not me.

So you see, there are reasons we were instructed to do some things and not others (to keep the commandments). The others eventually lead to undesirable consequences. So it is important that we follow the Almighty's commandments, but not necessarily the laws of the Pharisees, Mullahs, Buddahs, Reverands, Rabbis, or etc.

This is what Paul taught and tried to explain, and what the Messiah taught his disciples to teach. We, in our limited capacity to comprehend, and also at times under the influence of the master liar who rules this world, haven't gotten it quite right yet. Those searching for the truth and exposing more of the lies, and outright deceit we've inherited, are doing the Almighty's work.

Instead of condemning them, we should try to evaluate and understand what they've found.

It is ‘Not’ complex at all...but man makes it so... just as you have in your post....Jesus addressed those who did so...as follows:

“Woe to you, teachers.. ‘of the law’ .... you hypocrites!.... You ‘shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces’..... You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to”....Matt.23:13

“Woe to you, teachers ‘of the law’..... you hypocrites! ....You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded,... you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.”..Matt.23:15

“Woe to you experts ‘in the law’, ....because you have taken away the key to knowledge. ...You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”..Lk.11:52

Jesus replied,... “And you experts in the law,... woe to you, ....because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, Lk.11:46
