I know it happened long ago. Do you think God has been without a bride all this time?

But he didn't say it would happen during the existence of the people of faith. He said it would happen during "this generation". If he meant to say something else, he would've said something else. A generation refers to a group of people living during a certain time period. He can not have...

I disagree. Your reasoning is based on your understanding of the book of Revelation, but you have to allow that your understanding could be wrong. The way I understand the book, all of the prophecies in it have already come to pass. We can disagree on that, but because we can disagree, you...

I think we can be even a little more specific than "the kingdom of God has come with power". I would say it is Jesus' power specifically that came in 70 AD in judgment upon Israel, and there are three identical prophecies in three different books of the Bible that talk about it. Daniel 7:13...

Amils study the Bible, just like you. You must know that there are often multiple different ways to understand a scripture. You must know that. Why do you disparage your brothers because they understand it slightly differently than you do? They've done nothing wrong. They're just trying to...

No. I don't believe Sheol is a physical place, just a state of being. Because that's what the old testament tells us. God himself said "for dust you are and to dust you will return".

Consider this. Jerusalem was to be God's wife, but Jerusalem was not true to God. This is the definition of an adulteress, and the entire chapter of Ezekiel 16 describes Jerusalem as the adulterous wife. If Jerusalem is not the adulterous wife, why did Ezekiel describe her as such?

That's a cop out, and is often used to explain away things that are contradictory to presumptions. The fact is, that the vision was given to a human, and he wrote it down for other humans to read. This was not written for God to read. It was written for humans to read. So to say that...

That makes no sense. If the book is about event that "must soon take place", then that concerns all the events in the book. Saying that "some events took place, and some didn't" simply means that as far as you know, some events didn't. You should consider that you simply didn't recognize those...

It sounds like you're saying, that as long as we are in Jesus, we have life, and therefore if we remain in Jesus forever, we have life forever, but if we leave Jesus, we leave (and lose) life. In other words, our life depends, and will continue to depend on Jesus. Does that sound right?

The soul is a living being, which means you and I are souls. Do you believe that we will live forever? If so, then you believe that the soul is eternal.

Unless "the end" refers to the end of time? :)

It's an interesting question for sure. My two cents: "The end" that Paul was speaking of in 1 Corinthians 15, is unfortunately not put into context or relation, as in "the end of what?". For that reason, I used to take this quite literally as "the end", meaning the end of everything, but I...

You are so funny, claiming that one only needs to study to know the truth, as if Amils haven't studied. If studying was all it took, then we would all agree, would we not?

If the soul is eternal, then it is immortal. And since we are souls, we are immortal. I'm still failing to see how you justify this contradiction in your position. If we live eternally, we are immortal. That seems pretty straight forward to me. If "death" is not really dead, but merely...

Sounds like you're saying there are two types of Christians and two types of salvation, but I'm unclear on what you base this concept. Can you give me another summary please.

Some prophets did speak of events far into the future, such as when Daniel was told "Seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future" (Daniel 8:26) but John the Revelator was told the opposite; "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near" (Revelation...

I feel like you're trying to tell me something new here, or something that I disagree with, but I don't think you are. It still sounds to me, even with your explanation, the same as I've always understood it. Keep in mind that those scriptures were written before we were given immortality...

Well, I don't think arrogance really applies to weaker nations, because they know they're weak. When arrogance sets in, you believe you're so strong that you stop trying, and you don't even notice when your adversaries surpass you.

Sounds like we see things differently on several front. Do you not see Jerusalem as the whore?
