Paul believed in the resurrection of the dead (body), which is why he wrote that those who believed in only a spiritual resurrection were in error. That is why those heretics said that the resurrection had already happened; they were not referring to a bodily resurrection because they didn't believe in one, just like the Sadducees didn't.
Are now telling us that the APOSTLE PAUL did not accurately and faithfully describe the definitive HERESY of Hymenaeus and Philetus? Ridiculous.

You are also telling us that Paul misunderstood the situation, and was in error as he was WARNING believers about these heretics and their heresies? Absolutely ridiculous.

No, but rather Paul is calling out as heretics anyone who DENIES the bodily resurrection at the RAPTURE as a certain FUTURE reality.

Similarly, in 2Thes 2, Paul likewise debunks the heretics out who are promoting the false doctrine that the Church was suffering in the midst of the end-time TRIBULATION (the DOTL), rather than being raptured before it ever happens! These heretics lied to the Thessalonians, telling them that they had missed the RAPTURE.

Essentially the same heresy as Hymenaeus and Philetus was spreading.

Their definitive heresy was gnosticism, which denied a bodily resurrection and claimed the resurrection was spiritual in nature that had already occurred.

Absolutely false. I have provided the EXHAUSTIVE Greek terms and grammar that completely debunk your biblically illiterate baseless opinion.

Your lengthy explanations are exhaustive... for you, but not for me because I barely read them they are so off-the-wall bad

btw your inordinately large, wordy, contrived posts remind me of these verses:

Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. ... shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 2 Timothy 2:14-18
 
And btw, a sneaky pre-trib rapture would not be a resurrection; it would be a transformation, which is a completely different word. First the resurrection of the dead occurs, then the transformation of the living occurs

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Changed
G236 ἀλλάσσω allasso (al-las'-sō) v.​
to change, transform, make different.​

Trump claims they determined he was leaking confidential information months ago and have cut him out of all critical conferences.

When somebody does something like that, they somehow always catch them. Those people should see that and not even try.

Yup. Frankly the nation is better off now that he hit the road. Security risk nullified.
