Revelation 20:5 says, "The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection." While I agree that Revelation is highly symbolic, this particular passage is a simple declarative statement and is literal in every way. The Church does...

Oh? Like accepting that Jesus was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of Israel? That is what He said, by the way. It was only when Israel, as a whole, rejected Him as their King, that the Kingdom was postponed and God then put them aside and took a people from the Gentiles for Himself. Not only...

Ignatius said a lot of things which only Romanists would accept.

Jesus was speaking to the nation of Israel in the passage that you quoted. Look at the context--He is speaking to those in "Judea". He SAID He had been sent ONLY to the lost sheep of Israel. Matthew 15:24 It was only when Israel, as a whole, refused Jesus as their King that salvation was...

But, it IS labeled in Revelation 7:14, CoreIssue.

Yet another insult? You really should learn how to spell if you are trying to look intelligent with your jabs. ("narcacist"--really?) Was Christ in the center of your pseudo-Freudianism?

And would you like to tell us what THAT has to do with anything we were discussing??

Gee whiz! Another insult--is that all you Calvinists can think of to do when confronted with logic? I'm getting closer and closer to putting you on "ignore" but I find you amusing at the moment. It might lead to further amusement to trade insults--you went first so now I will add mine to you...

You want to tell us how that relates to the discussion??

Yes. When Jesus tied His prophecy to that of Daniel 9:27, that set the time as the time of the End (the Day of the Lord).

Testifying of Christ is a very good thing to do, but the world in general will think you are just delusional unless they have a fear of God and His judgment as a base for relating to the Good News of Christ. An evangelist (his name escapes me at the moment) gives the illustration of why the...

In fact, the prophet Ezekiel is told in Ezekiel 3:17-19 that he was to be a "watchman on the wall" to warn unbelievers and that, if he did not, that God would require Ezekiel to take the blood of the unbeliever whom he failed to warn.

o_O Oh no? Try Revelation 7:14.

Exactly so. Are you afraid?

Although there were some like Abraham who "looked forward" to the day of Messiah and were glad.

I didn't even particularly like the series--thought it was a bit "cheesy". Jerry Jenkins depicts the Antichrist as an ineffectual whiner. I think the Antichrist will be the scariest person imaginable.

What makes you think that I was speaking of poor people--Jesus said that the poor are blessed (see Luke 6:20). Those who "belong to the world" applies to ALL unbelievers. Again I say, you are in error because you don't know the Scriptures.

You are in error because you don't know the Scriptures. I am placing you on "ignore".

Now that is just silly. Jesus Himself tells the church at Philadelphia that He will protect them from the time of testing (see Revelation 3:10). How can that be anything other than hopeful? Are you saying that all the times that the Israelites (who cried out to God and were protected) in the...

We weren't speaking of me--we were speaking of those who belong to the world (at least that is what I was talking about).
