    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    How can I argue with someone that thinks the book of Rev has endless, open ended meanings(metaphors). You made it like MAD magazine.

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    The difference is... Amils teach Rev is a bunch of metaphors. Premils teach Rev is exactly what it is saying with a few descriptive signs to help understand the meanings. Amils are this group.... 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man...

    Amil doctrines are goofy as a grape, but I don't call them "a cult" because they are different. Get it?

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    How the Amil reads Rev 20.... 20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand THAT IS NOT A REAL ANGEL, PIT OR CHAIN. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand...

    You DO think signs are metaphors! I am calling motor vehicles to have them keep you from driving...

    Is Tucker Carlson a cult too?

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    I guess I am naive enough to believe it as it says a thousand or the thousand years 6 times in 6 verses as a/the thousand years. I must lack the creative mind, such as Amil's have.

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    So, 1000 years in Rev 20 has no specific meaning? Does anything else in the chapter have no specific meaning? Is the lake of fire the fake fire too?

    I think the problem here is preterists etc, think signs are the equivalent of metaphors. They should all have their driver's licences taken away.

    I see, so Rev 20 is open ended meanings to you. Non binary etc?

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    One hour has a specific meaning. Now, what is the SPECIFIC meaning of 1000 years per Rev 20? It must be specific, not willy nilly random as you posted.

    Hey, howbout this?... and bound him a MILLION years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the HUNDRED years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4 And I saw...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    6 times, a thousand or the thousand years is mentioned in 6 verses, and you think it means ten thousand or maybe ten days or whatever, etc? I thought the book was off limits to changing its meanings per this.... ... ...... If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the...

    Count "1000 years or a thousand years" here... 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till...

    What debate? Count how many time 1000 years is mentioned in this passage..... 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should...

    James says we are firstfruits here.... 18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Now, are you a firstfruit too? Yes or no?

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    How does the tree of life become "enjoying life" instead of the tree in paradise that Jesus vividly described in Rev 2? 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    You teach there is NO tree of life to eat from just the opposite of what Jesus taught in Rev 2 and you are not a preterist? You are real close to a preterist, as you teach a literal tree of life in a literal paradise are fictitious statements of Jesus.

    Does 1 Thes 4 and James 2 make us the resurrected firstruits? Yep, then there are 2 sets of firstfruits per your logic.
