    Four horseman in Revelation

    "YET, WE MUST THROUGH MUCH TRIBULATION ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD (vv. 3-8). Sorrow is the common lot of God's people in this world (John 16:33). Not only must we suffer all the sorrows common to others, we also must endure those which are heaped upon us by wicked, persecuting men. These are...

    Four horseman in Revelation

    Here is a portion of an article by Pastor Don Fortner you might find interesting and helpful "As we come to chapter 6, we see Christ, the Lamb of God, opening the seals of the book, unfolding to us the mysteries of God's purpose and fulfilling his decrees. In this chapter, he opens six of the...

    Let's examine Revelation 20:4 yet again.

    Yes, and for those who belong to the house of God because they have been born again, judgment now, before physical death through trials and tribulations (judgment of God) ordained for all who are in Christ, means that at the GWTJ we shall not be judged according to what we have done in the...

    Let's examine Revelation 20:4 yet again.

    In this unknown amount of time (THE HOUR) there shall be ONE RESURRECTION "in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." In the same...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    The way I understand this passage in Jo 3 is that one must be born again of the Spirit to both know and enter the spiritual Kingdom of God. This passage dwells upon the spiritual Kingdom of God without any reference to the Kingdom of God as it physically exists on this earth through the church...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Because I understand both the physical and spiritual aspects of the Kingdom of God. How the Kingdom of God in this age of time is represented as the church/body/bride of Christ in this world, that has both good and evil physically together. And even though there are many who profess to be born...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    This has become an exercise in futility! I've already addressed Jo 3:3-5 and won't be doing so again!

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    I'm not sure from where you are coming to these conclusions. Please show from the Bible where we read that hades, being the place of the dead is in the Kingdom of God.

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    What exactly are you asking? The wicked are gathered out of the Kingdom of God by the angels at the end of this age (Mt 13:41). Are you saying they are punished in the Kingdom of God or asking if they will be punished there???

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    EXACTLY! The wicked and the righteous are together in the Kingdom of God as it is manifested physically as the church/body/bride of Christ in this world. That's why Christ will send His angels to gather out of HIS KINGDOM, not the world, all things that offend and them that work iniquity...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Paul plainly tells us that when our natural body dies it is raised a 'spiritual body'! Why? Because there is both a natural body and spiritual body. That's why Paul writes elsewhere that when we are absent from the natural body we are present with the Lord. How? Because after death our...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    How can the wicked be separated from those who are in the Kingdom of God if they are NOT with believers in the Kingdom of God? They are not separated from believers in the WORLD; they are separated from believers who have been born again of the Spirit of Christ who are spiritually in the...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Prove this from the Word of God! What exactly is a spiritual body in contrast to natural body? It is through the Spirit of Christ within us that our spirit, when we have been born again, is eternally alive with Christ FOREVER! It is our spirit, through the Spirit of Christ in us that shall...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    You're not answering the question! The passage says Christ will send His angels to gather out of His Kingdom all things that offend and them that do iniquity. What and where is the Kingdom of God the Son of man shall send forth His angels to gather out of all things that offend and them which...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    What and where is the Kingdom of God the Son of man shall send forth His angels to gather out of all things that offend and them which do iniquity? Notice the wicked must be severed from among the just, who are called the church and body/bride of Christ. If false professors of faith are not...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    No, that is when we get our immortal/incorruptible body of flesh that shall be made alive through our eternal spirit that God will bring with Him. Because without our eternal spirit giving life to our new immortal/incorruptible body, our flesh profits nothing. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 (KJV) For...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    The only part of born-again Christians dead and buried is natural/physical flesh that is destined to death (forever, if not born again) from the fall. Only the spirit of born-again Christians, as living souls without physical form is with God in paradise (heavenly realm) after our mortal body...

    THE LAST TRUMP EXPLAINED

    I can see it's a waste of my precious time trying to communicate biblical truths with you! It is you who is picking and choosing certain verses desperately trying to prove how you think or perhaps have been taught this unbiblical doctrine. Simply ignore context??? Not a sound approach for...

    THE LAST TRUMP EXPLAINED

    Selectively taking verses out of context we can make it appear Scripture supports whatever we might imagine. When we read 1Th in context we find both the physically dead in Christ as well as those who are still physically alive in Christ when He comes again, shall be caught up TOGETHER (when...

    THE LAST TRUMP EXPLAINED

    Paul writes, "at the LAST trump" which is NOT the first trumpet, the dead in Christ are bodily raised and changed. John doesn't say anything about the bodily resurrection and change that shall come when the last trumpet sounds with the sounding of the first trumpet. John writes that when the...
