Science of the Bible

Because his invitation was written too late and was not delivered to everyone.

"Jehovah is merciful and compassionate,
Slow to anger and abundant in loyal love." Psalm 103:8

"And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." Acts 24:15

"For the wages sin pays is death..." Romans 6:23

Considering Jehovah God is merciful, compassionate, slow to anger, and abundant in loyal love, and the wages of sin is death so therefore we all pay for our sins when we die, what do you think the purpose is in the resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous?

He failed to invite everybody.
 
Can you answer the question or not?

How can there be righteous and unrighteous if there were so many who did not get the invitation? How would they know what god wanted from them? How could they know what righteous behavior was?

Would not the ones who've never gotten the invitation/opportunity be considered unrighteous?
 
God's Word is as relevant today as the day it was written...

"For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul* and spirit, and of joints from the marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12

Those are quotes from a book whose followers can not show is truthful. As such, it's nothing but a rhetorical device that means nothing.
 
Would not the ones who've never gotten the invitation/opportunity be considered unrighteous?

Maybe, maybe not. The point is that they had no way of knowing. Does that mean they all get a free pass? Does that mean god did not care one way or the other about them? Was there no way to judge bad behavior prior to the publication of the bible? What the heck was god thinking?. Seems like a screwy plan.

What would be the purpose of bringing such ones back to life, if they've already paid for their sins through death and the wages of sin is death, not eternal hellfire, as some believe?

Well, I don't accept either luke or acts, and single lines out of context really don't do too much. The lines in the Jewish scriptures tend to be part of narratives, and when a line is plucked out of the narrative to use other than which it was intended, you get bad messages.

What is the purpose of a god judging us if it doesn't matter how we behave in life?

So, no idea of the purpose of this resurrection?
 
So this life we live now is irrelevant to god?

Not irrelevant but it is not the real life...we never had the same chance that Adam and Eve had...a chance to remain obedient in a perfect state because we were born in sin...but getting back to the resurrection...why resurrect unrighteous people who've already paid for their sin? Would it be to judge them again? By being resurrected, no redeemed human comes into “double jeopardy,” to be punished again for what he did before his death so why resurrect them?

For he who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” Romans 6:7

This life is all we have to work with. Where does this judgement of righteousness come from? A god who did not invite everyone, based upon this only life we know. Screwy plan which leads to unfair outcome. It makes no sense. Death is not a payment for sin. it is something we all do. No one gets bodily resurrected. It has not happened. Counting on something which may never occur is meaningless. All we have is this life. That is the only thing we will ever know with any reliable degree of certainty.

That is what the Bible says...why will there be a resurrection? Do you know?

The bible does not say that physical death is literally the payment for sin. It is a symbolic statement.

So, we're at a stalemate...you cannot answer the question...

There is no stalemate here. Your question is based on your belief which I don't share. Dead people do not get physically resurrected. There is no such thing in the bible. It is a metaphor.

Stalemate...you cannot/will not answer the question...got it...
 
You answered nothing...stalemate...

I answered your question. Your question wrongly assumed you correctly read the bible as far as physical resurrection. You have incorrectly reasd the bible. So your question is invalid. Nothing in the bible promises a limited physical resurrection for more life on earth. That is not the afterlife that the bible is describing.

You have incorrectly read the Bible so your answer...if there was one, which I don't think there was...is invalid...:2razz:
