Motion. One is moving faster than the other. But it's not affecting time. It's affecting the clock. You could even place the two clocks at different altitudes with the amount of gravity being the same (the earth's mass isn't distributed evenly throughout, so some places have higher gravity...

My question is about your, the author's, beliefs. You did not address what will happen to those who do not believe, only atheists and believers, which are not the only two groups that exist.

The new earth WILL BE a heaven, a paradise, no? Jerusalem (tied to Israel) comes down upon the NEW Earth, not the current one, which is, as I'm sure you would agree, NOT a heaven. On the other hand, believers in the Body of Christ will reside in the New Heaven, not on the New Earth (not to say...

Cognitive dissonance.

Because the Jews are under different House rules (oikonomia) than the Body of Christ. Things that are different are not the same... Of course it's important. All of them are important, as Jesus said in Matthew 5:19. OIKONOMIA Romans 6:1

How about those who do not believe?

Which one?

Where there's life, there's hope.

Well for starters, just reading the verse immediately prior to verse 2, the issue is resolved. Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the pilgrims of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, - 1 Peter 1:1...

You can't be an open theist because of your own error. Who cares about whether you're an open theist. What matters is whether you actually acknowledge what scripture says, and not presume it says something that it DOES NOT SAY, because of your a priori beliefs, AND not simply use a poor English...

Not "needs." "Concludes." John saw a vision, "in the Spirit." He didn't interact with the future. He interacted with the vision. Well, no. Jesus said: "Before Abraham was, I AM," saying that He was God before Abraham existed. It was a statement of His deity, not a statement about his...

Because it's not in the future that the point exists. It's the present. Indeed I am. Time flows into the past from the present. The future doesn't exist yet, never will. Never said he did. But He DOES exist in the present. <------------------------------------------------------*...

No, you did not. You answered a question about something that isn't in dispute, but not what I asked you. When does a man die spiritually, since he is not dead from the womb? It has nothing to do with whether I accept it, because "it" hasn't been provided yet, "it" being the answer to my...

No, you didn't answer the question. WHEN does a man die spiritually? Because man is not dead at birth, so he must be alive at least for a little bit after birth, no? "In Adam" is not "when." It's "where," it means "in the flesh."

Is a location. Not a point in someone's lifetime. When does someone die spiritually, because they're not dead from birth? Yes, we agree. You're still trying to answer "did all die?" and not "when did all die?" Answer the latter please, because we agree on the answer to the former.

First, I'd like to point out that heaven is where God "lives." Second, I will direct your attention to https://opentheism.org/verses#28, which deals directly with the topic of time in heaven, and point out that the idea of an "eternal now" does not exist in the Bible, but rather that those...

Supra, therefore the question has not been answered. WHEN did they die? "In Adam" is a location, not a point in a person's life. At what point after a person's birth does someone die spiritually?

The contention is that if man is not dead at birth, then he can't have always been dead. THEREFORE: When does a man die spiritually, since he's not dead from birth (which the Bible doesn't teach) Suggestion: All die in Adam because all are descendants of Adam. However, when one is crucified...

Yes, we agree. When does a man become spiritually dead? It can't be before he's born, because scripture doesn't teach that. But you acknowledged that scripture doesn't say that. So why are you promoting a belief that cannot be gleaned from scripture? Christ died and took Adam's place, and...

... completely arbitrarily. That's what you believe. But it's not supported by scripture. God says otherwise, that a man shall be saved if he confesses with his mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believes in his heart that God has raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9). God says he is willing...
