    Two Resurrections of the Dead

    There are actually three known resurrections of the dead: First Jesus Christ, then the resurrection of all His people at His return, and finally the resurrection of all the rest of the dead at the last judgment. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished...

    The Church Resurrection is Between Tribulations

    I say it is not either/or pre- or post- tribulation, but is both post-and pre- tribulation, and it is between them both. The dividing line between the last great tribulation and wrath of the devil and man upon the righteous, vs the first great tribulation and wrath of God upon all the wicked of...

    Being Subject to the Higher Powers is not obeying evil rule

    Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. To me, this has been one of the most perplexing apparent contradictions in Scripture. God can't possibly be telling His people to obey wicked men and government, which...

    The Doctrine of Millennialism is destroy by Personal Symbolizing of Scripture.

    Personal symbolizing of scripture according to our own personal faith, leapfrogs any credibility of teaching the true doctrine of Christ. And that especially includes the millennial reign of Christ. It also ruins the validity of the Bible, as being no different from any other book of men about...

    Conflating Jesus' Second Coming with the Scorched Earth is not possible

    It's certainly possible for someone to try and make the Lord's return the same as at the scorching of the earth, since anyone can think, read, and promote whatever they want about the Bible. But it's just not possible to do so with Scriptural integrity. Any objective reader of the Bible cannot...

    Jerusalem of the beast vs The Beloved City of the saints

    In order to prove the doctrine of the millennial reign of Christ, as also being on earth, it is necessary to know the difference between Jerusalem today, under the seat of the beast, vs the beloved city Jerusalem of Christ's reign. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great...

    The Natural Sheep and Goats

    The doctrine of millennialism must include the judgement of the sheep and goats. 1. First, we rule out that judgment being of His church at His appearing in the air: For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them...

    Two Scriptures proving the Risen Lord and Saints on earth

    And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. And I will make thy seed...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. This looks to me to be speaking of Jesus after His resurrection, which is when Peter is speaking to them that crucified Him. I say the significance of this...

    Question: Why not believe in Christ's millennial reign on earth?

    This is an honest question, I would like to hear any answers to. Aside from the Scriptural argument itself, which can go one way or the other. Why is there sometimes such zeal to not believe in Jesus' millennial reign, with His resurrected saints on this earth? It's not like it has an effect...

    Abraham's Bosom

    How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation...

    The Nature of Spiritual Death

    Once simple question: The devil is the spirit and god of this world, the prince and power of the air. He made himself the first enemy of God, and now makes himself the enemy of God and man. He continues to think only evil against God, and tempting man to do the same. Is the devil dead or...

    The False Hope of Proving the Truth of Scripture by Translations.

    The only way to make a perfect translation of the ancient Greek, is to first set aside the modern practice of making upper and lower case letters. No apostle nor reader of the gospel letters, ever thought to discern the truth of God, by way of a capital letter or not. Whether it is the TRUE...

    The image of God is Spiritual. The image of man is Natural.

    So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Believing the Scripture is speaking of the flesh, is why some imagine that God's image is bisexual, or nonsexual, when the sex has nothing to do with it, because the flesh has nothing to do...

    Sin Nature: the sinful will of devils and men

    A sin nature has been described in several ways, such as the 'propensity' to sin, or the natural 'inclination' to sin. Since we ought to let Scripture describe Scriptural things of God, then the easy description of a 'sin nature' is lusting to sin in James 1, which is the will to sin in romans...

    The Son can be called the Eternal Father

    For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. This Scripture is used by the oneness believers, that say the Son is the Father...

    One Deity and None Deified

    There is only one Deity, and no angel nor man is ever deified to be a god like God, and so have their own Deity. Deity is uncreated divine nature, eternal life, and all power. All else, whether spiritual or natural, is created by Him with spiritual or natural nature, but none are created with...

    What is Angel Worship?

    Someone was talking about all the conversations his spirit has with the Spirit of Christ, and once said to Him, "Angels are really smart, aren't they?" And the Spirit told him, "Yes angels really are smart." The problem with speaking with spirits, is that we are to prove them by truth of...

    Mortal Soul Theology must reject Jesus as God, and that He did not sin

    Mortal soul theology teaches that the mortal body is the body of the soul: Man on earth, is a mortal being like all living creatures, but with a body called the soul. We are mortal bodies, that are mortal souls. This of course is just lip-service to the soul of man, that is a distinction...

    Eternal Life is Now not Later

    Being spiritually clean in Christ Jesus with eternal life, and doing righteousness of God, is either now or never. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life...
