    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    I appreciate and accept your apology, but no, I will not continue in this discussion.

    Good tidings of great joy, which shall be to SOME people?

    All without exception or all without distinction? IOW the Saviour, which is Christ the Lord came with good tidings and great joy, not to the Jews only, but to ALL people, Gentile & Jews also who receive Him as their Saviour! Luke 2:10-11 (KJV) And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Prove biblically what you allege! I've answered your queries repeatedly now, but you haven't bothered to address the questions I raise with biblical proof texts! It is not I who says man was created with body + the breath of life which is spirit and the two together became a living soul. I...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    It's not that I haven't answered, you simply don't agree or like the answers given you. Man does not move from death to life. Man destined to die goes from being destined to die in his sins to possessing eternal life through the Spirit of Christ within them when they are born again, not...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    If this is the question you mean, I answered with what is written. God formed man from the dust of the earth [body] breathed into his nostrils the breath of life [spirit] and man became a living soul. Two parts body and spirit together called living soul.

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    What is it you think I deny that needs to be sorted out? What I have often observed when replying to you is that you don't like to be questioned about what you believe. And when you are you often become unreasonable, which is why replying to you becomes pointless!

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    I believe the Bible. Man is created with a body + the breath of life (spirit) and together body + spirit became a living soul. Genesis 2:7 (KJV) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, (outer man flesh & bone) and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; (Spirit of God)...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Yes, in the act of salvation man is reconciled to God through God in us. We are not reconciled to God by being spiritually resurrected. Adam received the consequences promised him for disobeying God. Adam did NOT spiritually die, the Spirit that gave him life when he was created departed from...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Yes, our spirit is quickened not raised or resurrected from the grave of sin. Quickened through the power of God in us, with new heart/mind/will that now desires to serve God, which is not through resurrection but through new birth, that's when we become a new man in possession of eternal life...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Our spirit is dead in trespasses and sins; it is not without life because it is through the spirit that man possesses natural life in the flesh. It is not a resurrection that our natural spirit receives through the Holy Spirit in us when we are born again! Our natural spirit is infused or...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    I used to believe like you, but then I realized teaching man before salvation is spiritually dead does not make sense. Because a dead spirit cannot give man physical life. How can man before salvation be spiritually dead while physically alive? It is the spirit that gives life. If man...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    I must disagree! It is not spiritual resurrection that produces new birth. It is new birth that changes man's natural spirit through the supernatural Holy Spirit of Christ in us. Christ does not say we must be resurrected to both know and enter the Kingdom of God. He says we must be born...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    If we don't have part in the life of Christ, who is the "first resurrection" before we physically die, then our death is in unbelief! Then at the end of days when Christ returns, we will NOT be physically resurrected to life in Christ, or to have part in Christ's resurrected life (the first...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Just because some, calling themselves Amill don't understand eternal security one in Christ possesses doesn't make Amillennialism a false teaching. It simply means they, like you, are not certain that Christ has given them eternal life from the moment they were born again. In this verse (6)...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    I'm not trying to nitpick because I know you believe salvation is our spiritual resurrection. I believe calling new birth our spiritual resurrection adds confusion into the discussion. When we are born again, we have not been resurrected, rather when we believe and we are born again we are...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Those still physically alive when Christ comes again only need to be changed from mortal to immortal, and corruptible to incorruptible as Paul tells us when he writes "we shall not all sleep (die) but we shall all be changed". This happens "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Your confusing the transformation of mankind who has been born again, with the bodily resurrection of all the dead in the hour that is coming when the last trumpet sounds and time shall be no longer. Man is transformed through spiritual re-birth, not resurrection. And all the dead shall be...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Amillennialism believes the "first resurrection" is indeed PHYSICAL! It's the bodily resurrection of Christ that man MUST partake of before we physically die for us to overcome the second death. How does a man have part in the physical resurrection of Christ who btw is the first resurrection...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    When man physically dies their body returns to dust of the earth, and the spirit (breath of life) returns to God who gave it. The spirit of man is destined to return to heaven a spiritual body (living soul) after physical death, or the spirit of man in unbelief, like the spirit (breath of...
