My go to scholars: "The Christian Church originated in Roman Judea in the first century AD/CE, and the date of Pentecost is considered the 'Birthday of the Church'". RC Sproul Acts 2. “When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly, there came from...

Many Christians cling to this idea of a "Revided Roman Empire" and I don't see it. There were seven Biblical empires: Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Medo - Persian, Greek, Roman Ottoman. I see a revived Ottoman (Islamic) Empire that fell in 1921and now has spread throughout the world...

Many verses state this. Other's have already told you this (Heb. 9:28 ; Luke 16:26) It's the theme of the New Testament. We are either saved from death or not based on our belief in Jesus while we are still living. Physical death is part of the judgment that we all suffer; but spiritual death...

A person is NOT a Christian unless they have been baptized by the Spirit. The Spirit lives in us and that all began at Pentecost! Evidently, you went to the wrong church. I always hit this wall with Preterists ... and it is a futile conversation. I never expected to convince you, it is more for...

Where did you go to church? This is Christianity 101. Acts 2 tells us of the day the Church began with The baptism of the Holy Spirit! John baptized with water, but Jesus pointed to this day when He would baptize with fire! I'll highlight key verses: Acts 2:1-4 When the Day of Pentecost had...

Spiritually yes, bodily no. I still am in my body - haven't received a new one like Christ's yet. We are waiting for our full redemption.

You can't figure that out? Christ hadn't died for our sins yet, nor was anyone baptized into Christ until Pentecost. On that day, people were born again, became new creatures. Prior to that time people were still in their sin. Sacrifices were made, atonement was given, sins blotted out, but no...

Really, so you were resurrected or somebody was? There was no one "in Christ" at the time until Pentecost. Our part is coming soon. Of course this Amillennail argument is futile, there is wall between us that will remain until He actually comes and you find yourself hovering in the clouds and...

I agree 100%. But again, Rev. 20:6 is speaking about Christians. You are misinterpreting a scripture to fit your view.

Good point. The Millennial Kingdom also a promise, covenants made in the Old Testament and New that have not been fulfilled. Thread 'The Millennial Kingdom' The Millennial Kingdom

This is your big mistake. The above verse is not describing Christ, AS IF it is informing us that Christ is blessed and holy and will not suffer a second death. Reading the next words tells you who this is talking about and what we will be doing " but they shall be priests of God andnof...

No, you think it does. You misinterpret scripture. Amillennials got it wrong. Aside from my speculative math and time frame between the two groups resurrection, the rest is sound. You'll find out soon enough.

There is no if about it. The 1st Resurrection concerns the Church at the present time, at the last ( 7th) trumpet, at the 2nd coming of Christ. It's very explicit, it says for those who take part in the 1st resurrection are blessed and holy, the second death has no power over us (which will...

This Calvinesque flare has a touch of arrogance: "Come to Me all you totally depraved dirty rags, who do not want to burn, for I will save you from the fire ..." I think Calvin's acronym ( if it is his) is flawed. It is high minded, presumptuous, cold and simplistic ( as to reduce the...

No, that is Christianity, the Word of God, not the words of Calvin. I wouldn't elevate him in such a way as to adopt an alternative label for Christians. I agree with thise scriptures, butnI AM NOT A CALVINIST. I am not an Arminian either.

Good. Just simply though, the 1st Resurrection occurs at His Second Coming (expected withing a couple years). Then those who die _ in Christ _ after the 1st Rsurrection, will be resurrected after the Millennial Kingdom. People will be born, live long lives and die during the MK, so they will...

According to Romans 13:1, God appoints all leaders and people in authority in the world; and since Jesus is Lord and has all authority, whoever becomes president, a leader in government _ otherwiseis _ on all levels, basically His decision. It is an historical fact in the Bible, God appointed...

Ah, probably so. He searching, wrestling with, denouncing and distorting scripture, trying to find a support group who agrees with all his assertions and doubts. He's got the Universalist clan agreeing and liking some of his threads. If for no other purpose, he can keep those guys occupied!

This just an example of your misinterpretation of scripture. This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, Who is the Word. He is God and has given us a His message from Genesis to Revelation. Obviously if he doesn't want us to add or take away from Revelation, this would also apply to the entire...

Not likely, he's still breathing and kicking. He'll reject all of it in the same way he discards and distorts scripture. Liberals like to pick and choose the scriptures that work for them. He seems very familiar with lots of theology and seems in protest to much of it. His threads ( lots of...
