Please give me scripture that says that

The mortal, dead body of Christ went into the grave where it remained for three days. The spirit that gave His body physical life returned to heaven.

Luke 23:46 (KJV) And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

While the physical body of Christ lay dead, the spirit of Christ ALIVE through the power of God, after first ascending to heaven went into the place of Old called "Abraham's bosom" (lower parts of the earth) and set the captives of death from Old free, taking their spirit (living souls) to heaven to wait for time given this earth to be no longer.

Ephesians 4:8-10 (KJV) Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

Why would those who already possess eternal/everlasting life through the Spirit of Christ within them need a physical body to have life?
We don't, of course. Look at what she was willing to resort to in order to support her doctrine and make it fit Revelation 20:6. Trying to say that those who are alive when Christ comes will be resurrected? No. They will be alive. No resurrection is necessary for them since only the dead are resurrected.

Revelation 20:6 presents a major problem for Premills as they have to somehow explain how those believers who are alive when Jesus comes can avoid the second death since they will not take part in a bodily resurrection. But, we know that a bodily resurrection is not necessary in order for the second death to not have power over us.

Where is the evidence to back up what you're saying? Why was the book addressed to churches consisting of Jew and Gentile believers in the ancient Roman province of Asia if the book centers on Israel? Why wasn't it addressed to Israel instead if that was the case?
There is not a consensus in regard to who the churches are

Yes, he is, calling them all "strangers" on the earth. The "elect" of God, those He hath begotten by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead (1Pe 1:3). The letter is not limited to believers of Old, ethnic Jews the "remnant of Israel". It is to ALL "Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." (vs 5)
If you say 1 Peter is to all believers then please show me where all are called a priesthood

Here is what I said needed to be supported by scripture......After Calvary, the elect followed Jesus in spirit to paradise.,,,,sorry but you have provided no scriptural passage to support this.......Ephesians doe not say the elect of God was led

you saying they are sojourners doesn't refute other passages in 1 Peter that only relate this epistle being directed to Israel in 1 Peter 2:9....Gentiles are never said to be a priesthood

What does this mean?

Is there more than one way to interpret this verse:

Revelation 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Those were all churches that existed when John wrote the book. Do you deny that?

You were shown that when I showed you Revelation 1:5-6 and then you responded by saying the book of Revelation is addressed to the remnant of Israel, which is clearly not true.

In no way, shape or form does the text indicate those things. There were actual churches in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea in the Roman province of Asia at the time John wrote the book.

Again, the book was addressed to seven churches in the ancient Roman province of Asia, not to Israel. You are making the text say what you want it to say instead of accepting what it actually says.

its already been translated...I am not fluent in greek
We have Greek resources that show us what the Greek words in the original text mean. We don't need to rely completely on the translators. If you read multiple English translations you can see that the translators didn't always agree with each other on how the Hebrew and Greek should be translated. I showed you that Matthew 25:31-46 is not referring to the judgment of nations, but rather individuals. But, if you just read the text without thinking about what it really means you would conclude that it's talking about judging nations, as you had previously thought.
