Yet you liberally post your doctrine (or as a proxy for Gentry and other preterists, et al.) so you wouldn't be a cult of one if you made disciples. You teach that the Day of the LORD and the resurrection of the saints has already come and gone. The Apostle Paul wrote about that to Timothy in two different sections. This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme. Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
Look at you! You are a proxy for the dispensational cult.

Not those tired, out of context arguments again? Are you trying to drag this out, hoping I will I will tire of your endless, barely identified verses?
When Paul wrote Timothy, the first resurrection has not occurred. What does that have to do with the first resurrection actually occurring in 70 AD? It means that Paul was expecting a resurrection in his generation, as were all other Christians; and some false teachers were telling others the resurrection had already occurred. That is all those verses mean, and anyone who teaches otherwise is a false teacher, like Hymenaeus and Alexander.
Now, explain to everyone what that has to do with what I believe, which is extremely well documented?
And what about you? Where is your proof the first resurrection did not occur in 70 AD? You have none, whatsoever. Even the book of Daniel exposes the false prophesies of the future rapture cult; and the cult members would realize that if they take the time to read it…carefully! Pay particular attention to the use of the phrase, "thy people." You can find it in Daniel 9:15,16,19, and 24; and in 10:14 and 11:14. Find the same phrase ("thy people") in chapter 12:1-2, and then determine who was resurrected, and how many? You will quickly notice that the first resurrection was only for "thy people:" namely, the children of Israel; exactly like I have been saying all along. The resurrection was also for "not all;" but "many." There were also both good and bad resurrected. All that flies in the face of the teachings of dispensationalists and futurists.
