So spirit and soul are synonyms? How then do you explain 1 Thess 5:23? 1 Thess 5:23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So you can't accept any of the evidences that show all of Revelation has been fulfilled, because you don't believe Jesus has returned yet. It's like a wall you've put up, that blocks all evidence until you see Jesus return. It's stifling you. This one dogmatic belief, is forcing you to see...

It does make sense because when the body dies, we are immediately transformed (in the blink of an eye) into our new heavenly state of being, never experiencing death. We move straight from one life into the next. So we will never die, we will only transform. Christ died, yes. He really...

It was written as still future, prior to 70 AD. It was future for Paul at that time. It's not future for us. If it were, then we would still suffer death, and Jesus said we would not. I believe him.

I literally quoted scripture when I said "dust you are and to dust you shall return". That is a literal quote, and you know it. You've quoted a different part of scripture, which in no way disagrees with the piece I quoted, not does it negate my point which is that we are dust and nothing but...

You have it backwards. The meaning of the word "generation" does not depend on our understanding of prophecy. Rather our understanding of prophecy should be dependent on the meaning of the word "generation". Furthermore, Jesus spoke many times of that generation and it was always in regards...

I literally quoted scripture, and you say it's not true. What other parts of scripture do you think are not true?

Death was the last enemy defeated, and the kingdom was returned to God. I think the problem is that you think death still exists for us. Why do you think death still exists for us? Is it because the body dies? That doesn't mean that we die, so explain to me why you think death still exists...

By what logic, or scripture, do you claim that we are not yet married to Christ?

What do you mean by complete? And why do you say it was not complete?

And how do you explain the difference between "spirit" and "soul"?

Why would the preterist have to explain the continuation of the gospel, if it's already proven that the gospel has been preached throughout the world? The continuation of the preaching in no way invalidates the fulfilment of the prophecy. The futurist should be careful not to look for...

According to what is written to be fulfilled was not fulfilled in 70 AD. For example it is written: They were. Just not the way you imagined it. This is a description of when the new kingdom began, which includes both Jew and Gentile, whoever believes. It is the gathering of all the guests...

What other being? God never said "you are dust plus another being". He said "you are dust". That's it. You're assuming you have a "spirit" and whatever you think a "soul" is, but that's not what God told us. He said "you are dust".

Those are not my conclusions. I don't know how you made that leap. I said death has already been defeated, and we already have eternal life. How do you go from that to "So technically we don't exist? We just think we exist in the mind of God?"?

When you say "all that is written was not fulfilled in 70 AD" you should qualify that with "as far as I know".

What is a covenant with God if not a marriage? Physical Israel was a wife to God, but he divorced her when she was unfaithful. Do we now not have a covenant with God? Jeremiah 31:32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of...

Revelation was written for the people of that first century, whether members of churches or not. You say it will be fulfilled at the second coming but if you claim it hasn't happened yet, you have to ignore a lot of evidence that it has. Try reading it with an open mind.

O.k. the bride of the lamb, but he is also God. The point is, we are already married to the lamb. Why wouldn't we be?

But it did happen, except not the way you imagine it. That's what's keeping you from seeing it. You have preconceived ideas about what these things would look like, so you can say "This has never happened!" but you're imagining it wrong. Keep in mind that everything written was regarding the...
