Dear Sgt. : I mostly ask God to show me His truths as I read the Scriptures. Most of the time my mind is opened to a specific truth, which I then explain from those Scriptures themselves. Also, I often go to my Concordance and different translations to help verify for my readers, that which I see is truly Scriptural. I have a dozen different translations, Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, Wigram's Englishman's Greek and Hebrew Concordance, a Bible dictionary, and that's about it. I have "e-Sword" on my computer for quick location of any word in the Bible. I do not learn what I teach out of books. But I do use books often to help verify what God is showing me.
As for your question on the resurrections and the purpose for humanity during Christ's reign, etc., I will have to pass on that one. It may sound like a simple question, but let me assure you, it is not. I know of no religion or writings on earth that can explain correctly what you are asking. I will be writing on this in the future, but not today, as it would take days to answer that question properly for you, and as I receive tens of thousands of emails, it just isn't possible. Hope you understand.
God be with you, and may God look after you in your mission in Iraq.
