Hello again Ray,
I think I may have just seen the answer to my own question in the "emails to Ray" section of the forum.
You wrote in part of your answer to someone's question: "The ONLY hope of the dead is the RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD."
So it looks like those resurrected to judgement are still spoken of as the "DEAD" and it doesn't say they are resurrected to "LIFE". If I've got this right, it's not until after the judgement that the "DEAD" will finally be made alive and have "LIFE".
Am I even close? :-)
Thanks again,
Dale Ray
Dear Dale:
Yes, you are close. "The "dead" are being judged because they are those who were dead, and also, even though resurrected to life, they are still spiritually dead, and that is the purpose for the judgment in fire--to bring them to spiritual life.
God be with you,
Ray
