Now, I'm thinking the 1st Resurrection isn't the end, but just the beginning.  It will be the start of kindergarten.

In this life, God is just training the Elect to get along and be nice with the other children, and get potty trained.  School starts on the other side.

At least it's not boring!

Just can't wait for this teaching by Mr. Smith! Anyway, I'm gona put my 50cents worth here, after searching and reading all the scriptures on this post, I noticed the following, the "I", "Me", "He", "Him" refers to himself, one person, WHO or a WHAT. It is referring to a WHO, a personal IDENTITY.

I then done some research and came up with these quotes by great people in history, the (ibid., 2:1:1) after the quote I don't know. Some of these quotes dates back to [A.D. 80]

"Nor is he moved by anyone; rather, freely and by his Word he made all things. For he alone is God, he alone is Lord, he alone is Creator, he alone is Father, he alone contains all and commands all to exist" (ibid., 2:1:1).

"Of his own accord and by his own power he made all things and arranged and perfected them; and his will is the substance of all things. He alone, then, is found to be God; he alone is omnipotent, who made all things; he alone is Father, who founded and formed all things, visible and invisible, sensible and insensate, heavenly and earthly, by the Word of his power. And he has fitted and arranged all things by his wisdom; and while he comprehends all, he can be comprehended by none. He is himself the designer, himself the builder, himself the inventor, himself the maker, himself the Lord of all" (ibid., 2:30:9).

"God the Father, founder and Creator of all things, who alone knows no beginning, who is invisible, immeasurable, immortal, and eternal, is one God. Neither his greatness nor his majesty nor his power can possibly be—I should not say exceeded, for they cannot even be equalled. From him . . . the Word was born, his Son. . . . And the latter, since he was born of the Father, is always in the Father. And I indeed say always . . . he that exists before all time must be said to have been in the Father always, for he that exists before all time cannot be spoken of in relation to time. . . . [A]ssuredly, he [the Son] is God, proceeding from God, causing, as Son, a second person after the Father, but not taking away from the Father the fact that God is one" (ibid., 31).
