    What will the 1000 year kingdom on earth Jesus reigns over look like.

    I know both of these truths well! I understand full well that when Jesus returns, He will not be the suffering Savior, but the Conquering King!. And this happens prior to the 1000 year kingdom.

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Well I have. I have had a year in linguistic training in each of the biblical languages. and in the context that that Jewish writer is using echad can mean the cardinal one (as it does) but it is used in many passages as a "compound one". But to show this Jewish writer: "that there exists...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    please, if you are going to quote Greek, know how it is written. Greek manuscripts did not capitalize words! they were called uncial manuscripts. Caps came much later in English and other languages. And as your masters in the Watchtower love to make a big deal of JOhn 1:1 and the definite...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    No the Watchtower reasonings on this is the unbiblical nonsense. John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. Honor is a value word. It is saying that however one...

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    1. It is a reality! He physically rose from the dead, was seen by over 500 and ascended into heaven in the body the Apostles saw right before He ascended. that is fact, not assumption. 2. It is a metaphor. Jesus being with us is through the agency of the Holy Spirit. currently Jesus is in...

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    Well that is where a huge problem lies! No one is allowed to "interpret" the Scriptures. But this disease of interpretation has become pandemic in Christendom.

    Evidence for the Genesis Flood

    Absolutely! That is why we have our massive oil, coal and gas fields! And the flood also made teh massive sedimentary layers we see today. Mt. St. Helens proved sedimentary layers can form rapidly and ot over millions of years.

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    WOW you do know how to twist verses don't you? Matt. 18 has to do with church discipline and not all matters. 1 Tim.3 is correct it is the ground of truth and a pillar of truth, but not that truth! Scripture is that truth! Any teaching, no matter if brought by a synod of Bishops or the...

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    So Jesus told turn the other cheek, but Rome says butcher them? HMMM I choose Jesus. where were these armed forces duirng the first three centuries of the church when Rome butchered Christians with glee? they were too busy being christians! And where did you get your education in Church...

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    You do not know early church history obviously. thew early church was wracked with divisions. Even Paul commented on that. And God always leads His followers. People not an organization. But He was leading and guiding all those names you cited. The very fact that the RCC taught one can...

    Thought for today

    No it doesn't. It speaks of things hidden from the eyes of the world. Scripture clearly and openly speaks of Messiahs death but the world could not understand while believers did!

    What will the 1000 year kingdom on earth Jesus reigns over look like.

    Pulling texts out of context is poor exegesis. Paul in Romans 11 reminded us God is not through with the nation. In Luke 13 you cite, Jesus shows the setting aside is temporary. That word you underlined "until" is big- for they will acknowledge Jesus. and Jesus meant see HIm again, not...

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Well you are confusing essence with position or authority. Jesus is always subordinate to His Father even though they are equally divine. YOu are just as much human as your husband, but yet you submit to him and call him Lord if you are obedient to Scripture. But you also forget what Jesus...

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    Sorry but Jesus physically ascended to heaven and will physically return to earth as He promised. Rev. 19 proves that as well as Acts 1 also and many other verses. John in his epistle declares anyone who denies Jesus is coming back in the flesh is an antichrist( 1 John 4:3 1Jo 4:3 And every...

    What will the 1000 year kingdom on earth Jesus reigns over look like.

    That is all correct and I have no problem with what you say. However Israel is still gods covenant people and He will fulfill His promises to Israel as He declared to them in the OT. The church is a separate entity and has a differe3nt role to play in the millennium that Israel does.

    The Lord God and Jesus are in a dilemma. 100% Holy is the Goal.

    YOu need to get into Gods Word and exit your brain! Proverbs 3:4-6 King James Version 4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and...

    Knowing the Day and the Hour of the Lord's Coming

    The rapture is not connected with the physical return of Jesus to earth. they are separate events. The rapture pulls believers dead and alive off the earth to bring us to heaven. Jesus return is for Him to setr His throne on earth and establish the Millennial kingdom.
