Actually quit disregarding scripture altogether by denying the literal passages and their implications.

You're welcome. I liked a lot of the scripture you posted, not necessarily your take on them. Take care.

Just read those verses and they do not contradict a future millennium. If the millennium already happened then we would be in eternity and the new Jerusalem as described at the end of Revelation. Or perhaps you're amiennial?

And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth. Rev 6 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths. Rev 9:18 “If those days had not been...

That cannot be true because the unsaved people at the end of the tribulation and beginning of the 1,000 years will be those who have taken the mark of the beast. You think Christ is going to allow people with the mark of the beast enter his holy kingdom on earth? Never.

There is a distinction between the raptured saints and the martyred tribulation saints is my point.

Rev 20:7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. Obviously for numbers of people like the...

You want the distinction between the church and tribulation saints stated in one verse? It doesn't work like that, you need to understand the broader context of scripture altogether. 1 Thess 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the...

“Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; the one who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere child; the one who fails to reach[a] a hundred will be considered accursed. Isaiah 65:20 NIV That is a...

I'm not talking about Christians remaining mortal but tribulation saints. It is a different group of people. There has to be mortals on the earth who are part of a group of saved individuals otherwise no one could go into the 1,000 year reign and re-populate the earth. Someone in this thread...

That sums it up well. Marks, if you don't mind I'll add that statement to the OP.

Oh No not at all. I'm saying that the rapture can't happen post trib because those at the end of the tribulation keep mortal bodies. There is a lot of confusion on the subjects in this thread. But it sure is interesting.

That is incorrect because spiritual bodies cannot re-polulate the earth which happens during the 1,000 year reign. Those who go into the millenium must be of fleshly bodies except for those who have been raptured and are reigning with Christ at that time. And that is a false understanding of...

Not at first. At the beginning of the millenium there will only be believers. That is the reason for the sheep and goat judgement.

That is at his second coming and before the millenium. Or do you not believe in the millenial kingdom?

The harm is when babies are murdered.

Putting arguments about the pre-trib rapture aside, there is one big reason why the rapture can not be post-trib. The rapture can not be post trib because if all the believers were raptured at the time of the second coming, there would be no one left in mortal bodies to live into the 1,000 year...

Oh, I didn't read that yet. Thanks for the heads up, I'm going to keep away from him.

Hey Jack, thank you for contending for the faith. Is Steven a JW as well as that other guy?
