Greetings again Scott Downey, There will be mortals in the new heavens and earth. Isaiah 65:17–25 (KJV): 17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. 18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold...

Greetings Scott Downey, I consider that Isaiah 2:1-4 is speaking of the mortal nations during the 1000 years. The saved at Christ's coming will be made immortal. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings Spiritual Israelite, When does the Battle of Armageddon occur, and who are the people who will beat their swords into plowshares? Revelation 16:15–16 (KJV): 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his...

Greetings again WPM, Rather, we get tired of these long running threads where nothing is properly discussed or resolved. Kind regards Trevor

Greetings again Pearl, Not a particular denomination, but this example shows the method of coming into fellowship with the Apostles and early Christians. The standard was set in the Apostles' time and I suggest that "it's as simple as just asking" could well be inadequate without believing the...

Greetings Pearl, The following Samaritans became Christians on the day, but they may have had some preparation by previous encounters, and they had Philip who would have preached a powerful message and with a proper conviction and the strength of the pure Gospel. They also had the witness of...

Greetings Talons, I like your post as it suggests that when we read a whole chapter we should try to find some aspect of the narrative that interests us, and try to learn by this. This can be in our private reading, or with our wife, or family members. In a family environment each of us can...

Greetings Spiritual Israelite, How do you understand the following. I gain the impression that the Kingdom will be established on earth when Jesus returns. 2 Timothy 4:1–8 (KJV): 1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead at his...

Greetings Ron Balis, I am not willing to completely deny what you claim to have experienced, nor am I willing to endorse any of your detail. But what you stated above raised a question. We know that the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus in the form of a dove, and quite often the dove has been...

Greetings again Spiritual Israelite, Much water has flown under the bridge since I last participated, but no real progress. Yes there are two, I reaffirm that the New Heaven and Earth of Isaiah 65:17-25 speaks of the 1000 years where there will be death, while the New Heavens and Earth of...

Greetings Amo, You emphasised the following: " The doctrine of Christ’s reign upon earth was at first treated as a profound allegory, was considered by degrees as a doubtful and useless opinion, and was at length rejected as the absurd invention of heresy and fanaticism." Are you emphasising...

Greetings again Spiritual Israelite, 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 (KJV): 20But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be...

Greetings again WPM, The last days of Judah's commonwealth occurred when the Temple was destroyed and the Jews were taken into captivity. We are in the times of the Gentiles now, in two senses. The Gentile powers have political and military dominance over the world, and had this dominance over...

Greetings again WPM, The first includes the ministry of Jesus and ends in AD 70. The second includes the events leading up to the full establishment of the 1000 year kingdom. The first at the beginning of the 1000 years until the end of the 1000 years where there will be mortals and the second...

Greetings again Spiritual Israelite, Yes, Jesus reigns now, but he has a greater role when he comes to reign during the 1000 years and the immortal faithful will also share this role as king/priests for the 1000 years Revelation 20:4-6. Why do you ignore this passage. From my experience, not...

Greetings again WPM, I am satisfied with my original answers. What I stated is a summary of the substance of the rest of my posts. Isaiah 65 teaches that in the new heaven and earth of the 1000 years there will be mortals and they will live to 100 years. The following also teaches that there...

Greetings again WPM and Spiritual Israelite, Part 2 of 2 The sequence of Ezekiel 38,39,40-48 is not conditional. The Throne of David is not in heaven. Jesus was invited to sit at the right hand of God the Father in God the Father's Throne. A full discussion of immortal souls is off topic. The...

Greetings again WPM and Spiritual Israelite, The same as Isaiah 65:17-25. Jesus will return and judge the living and the dead and grant the faithful a crown of righteousness. Peter will share this with Paul: 2 Timothy 4:1,6–8 (KJV): 1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus...

Greetings again WPM and Spiritual Israelite, (Part 2 of 2) I am not forcing anything, but simply disagreeing with your assessment. How do you account for the fact that there will be death during the New Heavens and New Earth of Isaiah 65:17-25? Isaiah 65:17–25 (KJV): 17 For, behold, I create...

Greetings again WPM and Spiritual Israelite, The fact that at the end of the 1000 years, death is abolished, then at that time the faithful mortals will be given immortality: 1 Corinthians 15:23–26 (KJV):23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s...
