John, the only "verily verily" gospel account, mentions two resurrections of "Jesus" in John 5; And the latter of twain is notably "of damnation", for some only. However Christ speaks of one resurrection, of all, at the last day, and not to damnation (law), but unto salvation (grace).
So then, should we even consider two resurrections, if the latter is of damnation; Especially if told many times having respect of persons (partiality) is neither good nor of God?
What about Jesus is Son of man, should repent: Numbers 23:19? What about Jesus is standing right on high, but Christ is seated right and higher than the heavens on high? What about twice fallen requires twice risen for reconciliation? What about CJ is mirrorly the reverse of JC? What about false Christs shall arise to DECEIVE, if possible? What about appearances can be deceiving, so judge not after appearances, but judge righteous judgment (grace judgment)?

Respect of persons (partiality) not being good, nor Godly, is mentioned 15 times, from 2Chronicles to 1Peter. So then what happens to any happens to all, else it's not good, nor Godly.

Is "verily verily" in any way like "merrily merrily?"

You're asking a lot of questions here, only more or less connected. First, there was only one time when Jesus Himself rose from the dead. Period. For Him to be resurrected again, He would have to die again, and that isn't going to happen. His death for our sins was a "once and for all" type of event, singular, never to be repeated.
The two resurrections in John 5 (have you read the context?) describe two different events, neither having to do with Jesus Himself. John 5:28-29, which I think are the verses you're referring to, say that it will be those IN THE GRAVES (emphasis mine) who will come to the two resurrections. This is a close parallel to Daniel 12 which has pretty much the same thing. Remember, Jesus was speaking to the Jews of His time who didn't know about the Church Age, only that they were looking forward to a Kingdom Age to begin some time in the future. Now, if you look at Revelation 20, the cycle or circle is complete because the Old Testament saints will be raised from the dead, but the unrighteous won't be raised until one thousand years later. Two separate resurrections.
Your comment about partiality with God is correct, as Scripture does record this concept at least twice. Peter had to discover this when he shared the Gospel with Cornelius, the Roman centurion in Acts 10 and 11. What Peter found was that the Gospel was for everyone, Jew and Gentile alike, not only those who were Jewish or converts to Judaism (proselytes, they were called). There are a few times in Paul's letters where he described no partiality, etc., but neither of these had anything to do with resurrection--rather, there was no issues of race, gender, national origin--none of this was to be a barrier between a person and God's grace.
Your other questions don't have anything more to do with the resurrection issue so I'll stop here.

Other translations use "truly, truly". This was John's technique to alert the reader to pay particular attention here. First, Jesus is not speaking about his resurection here, he is speaking about ours. Secondly, there is only one. Verse 24 speaks of those who avoid damnation. Verse 29 speaks of what happens to those who believe, compared to those who do not. There is only one resurection.

Last time I checked, it was Jesus Christ, not Jesus and Christ.

Your logic along with your understanding of the Bible is flawed
