  1. Zao is life

    Why did God...

    LoL. Jesus did not tempt Himself. The gospel tells us that He was tempted of the devil (a third party) and I believe scripture (I REALLY believe scripture), so there is no doubt in my mind (and there will never be any doubt in my mind, as long as I believe scripture) that Satan attempted to use...
  2. Zao is life

    Why did God...

    God only sees humans in terms of one of two humans: Adam, and Adam. (The first) Adam, and (the last) Adam. We are all Adam. Sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned Rom 5:12. For since death came through a man, the...

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    Continue with your own private interpretations as you will. It matters not to the truth about this :) As we all know, Paul, the apostle of Jesus, taught us the following:- "If Christ's Spirit is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit (of Christ) is your life [zoe] because of...
  4. Zao is life

    Why did God...

    Not even Satan believed what others here assert. If he had believed that, he would have considered tempting Jesus a waste of time. Christ had God's power and Spirit in Him. He also had Adam's nature, because He was also fully man. So He had to resist temptation the way we do, and He relied...

    Why did God...

    Not sure about the last two sentences because I don't know what your answer is to the question, but the rest I agree with, of course.

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    Lol. Joe, Joe, Joe. The circumcision of the heart that takes place in the believer is not called or metaphorically referred to as "beheading" anywhere in scripture and such a ludicrous idea clearly never popped up in the minds of any the New Testament authors as you falsely claim. You would...

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    That's not true, and you have offered no scripture in support of your claims. You're making a statement without producing any evidence. You may as well have people believe a swan is a chicken just because you say it's a chicken. The truth is the swan - and your statement is a chicken. No...

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    Nonsense. The word for alive in Rev 20:4 is zao and zao never appears in New Testament scripture in reference to any person who is not alive in the body. Zao always refers either to the living God or to a human alive in the body in the New Testament - but these had been beheaded and the verse...

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    zōopoiéō: Used in reference to God’s Spirit quickening, i.e making alive, giving or imparting (eternal) life. Also used in reference to the quickening of the mortal body. anástasis, égersis; anístēmi; egeírō A standing up again, i.e. (literally) a resurrection from death. Without exception...

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    Your claim that "in the New Testament Greek, 'egeirō' is used in both physical and spiritual contexts" is 100% false. You are once again showing how Amillennialism causes you to consistently eisegetically insert a meaning into a word that is not there. Let's look at the difference in scripture...
  11. Zao is life

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    I disagree. The words in Rev.20:4-6 are zao, and anastasis. Nowhere in the New Testament is either zao (alive/living) or zoe (life) used in reference to those who are "spiritually alive yet no longer in the body". Likewise nowhere in the New Testament is anastasis used in reference to a...
  12. Zao is life

    Why did God...

    What you are saying is that what Jesus did not put on was flesh. Human flesh.
  13. Zao is life

    Why did God...

    We inherited the evil desire and selfishness etc from sinful Adam, not from sinless Adam, who only became sinful Adam when he sinned. Jesus was the last Adam, sinless Adam, who took on flesh and came in the likeness of sinful flesh with the same propensity to sin, but unlike Adam when he was...
  14. Zao is life

    Why did God...

    I agree. Adam was tempted before he himself became sinful, which means that sinless flesh had the propensity to sin. Messiah is the last Adam, the Son of man, who took on flesh and came in the likeness of sinful flesh, though the Son of man, the last Adam remained sinless - but because He is...

  16. Zao is life

    Why did God...

    God did not disallow Stephen to continue his work. Those who killed him did. God has allowed saints to be put to death for their testimony as much as He allowed Christ to be put to death for the sin He did not commit, and this is the way it continues till today, and will continue until He...
  17. Zao is life

    Why did God...

    I think Paul's own words about his former life and how he counted all his works according to the law as dung, and how considering himself the least of the apostles, at least suggests that God wanted to teach Paul a lesson that Paul could not have learned had Jesus appeared to him sooner.

    What triggers the Great Tribulation ?

    No one will ever be able to answer that question until he knows what "the great tribulation" IS, and I can guarantee you (not on my own authority but on the authority of Jesus the Messiah who used the expression repeatedly in this regard), that only he who has ears to hear will hear what the...

    What triggers the Great Tribulation ?

    The context of the passage in 2 Thessalonians 2 is apostasy in the church, not "of the Jews", and lawlessness in the church, not the lawlessness "of the Jews". The man of sin will come out of the midst of the lawlessness in the church - the Tabernacle of God on earth. For the mystery of...

    What triggers the Great Tribulation ?

    The holy place where the abomination of desolation will be was "set up" by Antiochus IV Epiphanes, Daniel 12:11-12, is the type or forerunner of the New Testament Tabernacle where the abomination of desolation will be set up by the Antichrist, whose Biblical type is Antiochus IV Epiphanes who...
