Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. ( Heb 13:8 )
Jesus Christ IS the WORD of God which is therefore also the same yesterday today and forever.
Jesus is the TRUTH of God which is also always the same yesterday today and forever.
God never changes.
Malachi 3:6 For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
The Word of God is the same Yesterday Today and Forever. That means Past Present and Future. That must apply for all eternity, otherwise it would have to change, would it not? Consider..... If future promises were not eternal then once they had been fulfilled, the bible would need to be changed to say...".OOPS this particular promise has passed already and is no longer valid to any future generations. It does not mean what it says any more". Does that mean its sheer "bad luck" to all who are born in this world after those promises have been fulfilled?.
ALL the promises in the bible are eternal and they all apply to all generations of the past present and future for all time. The word of God never invalidates itself at any time in the past present or future.
All Gods promises are fulfilled within every generation of the past present and future for ever.
Every person on earth in the past present and future has seen, will see and will continue to see all those promises fulfilled in their lifetime. Eternal Life is an eternal cycle of life which includes death till such a time as the children of God past present and future overcome death through death. The life cycle is the same for all people for all eternity.
I have heared people argue that there are two different covenants in the bible and the new invalidates the old but I disagree with that concept because of the fact that
Jesus fulfilled ALL the OT law and prophets and set us an example to do likewise.
The old and the new covenant promises still apply to all people of the past present and future. If they live under the law they are bound by the law. No man can escape the law of God.
Making excuses and saying one is an old covenant and one is a new covenant makes no difference because they are the same law not two different laws. Jesus taught that people still need to keep the commandments. He never said you can now do anything you want because the commandments are no longer relevant.
John 14:45 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1 John 5:2-3 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Prov 7:1-2 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man.
The wages of sin is death regardless of whether it was in the past present or future. believing in Jesus will not save anyone unless they obey Him and live and walk in Truth the same as He does. The devils also believe and tremble ( James 2:19 ).
Many false teachers are in this world who teach a false Jesus and seduce people into their religions with all their false doctrines which are finite, changable and unstable since false doctrines do not apply to past present and future at all times but only apply and are only relevant to the time they are referring to. That is how you can tell they are false as well as the fact that if the concepts taught by false futuristic doctrines ever did come to pass they would change the word of God and make its promises invalid.
The future promises in the Word of God are eternally future for ever and will never change. The Word of God is all past present and future at the same time. None of it is exempt from being valid today or any other day.
God always makes all things new daily. That includes His covenant with mankind. The new commandment/ covenant is nothing but the old recycled. It is an eternal life cycle which keeps repeating itself.
1 John 2:7-8 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
The new is the same as the old which was from the beginning. The end is the same as the beginning. Jesus is the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
The debate questions are...
Do you believe the word of God will change when the "futuristic" promises are have been fulfilled ?
If not, how will those promises be relevant after fulfillment?
Does the fulfillment of the promises of God make those promises invalid to all future generations after fulfillment and does it mean no one needs to fulfill them ever again or ever obey them again ?
