ALL of this is ancient history by now.

Your interpretation of Matthew 16:27-28 is not possible. That is because in this context, Christ described His coming return with angels in the glory of His Father, giving rewards to everyone according to their works. This didn't happen at Christ's resurrection. Besides, it would have been...

These are not "my" words. They are straight out of the Interlinear translation. Paul was speaking of an imminent resurrection of the dead that was "ABOUT TO BE" in his own generation. Many of the literal translations acknowledge this as the proper translation of the original Greek language in...

I am referring to Paul standing before Felix around AD 60 when he told the governor, "...there is ABOUT TO BE a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust." (Acts 24:15). When Paul again had a chance to reason with Felix about righteousness, temperance and "the judgment ABOUT TO BE"...

It's not that I refuse to acknowledge two future resurrections from the time perspective of when the scriptures were written. But you are attempting to subdivide the mention of a particular single resurrection into two separate events, (one for the righteous and another one for the wicked)...

How about those who don't have any children, since that is also mentioned? In addition, those children cannot be accused of being either riotous or unruly either. So disqualify any wanting to be male elders who may be married but who have no children, or whose children have died, or who have...

This is obviously not true, because Paul wrote otherwise in 1 Cor. 15:23 describing two resurrections with time between separating them. Christ was the First-fruits resurrection, then "AFTERWARDS" would be resurrected those at His coming return. You really shouldn't sweep the Matthew 27:52-53...

God planned a massive group resurrection in AD 70 to put a wrap on all things Old Covenant related. He planned another final one in our future to resurrect the saints who will have lived exclusively under the New Covenant. It's like God authored a play with the title "Redemption", which has an...

Of course there were "two notable resurrections prophecy speaks of". But that doesn't limit the number of group resurrection events to only two. If I had a family photo I was showing you, and I said, "These two kids are my grandchildren", this doesn't necessarily limit the number of my...

The "elect lady" is being taught by John in 2 John 9-10 how to protect the "children" of her assembly from those who might try to join the fellowship without having the proper doctrine of Christ. John was instructing this "elect lady" in protective pastoring activity of either receiving or...

Let me ask you this: can you see scripture teaching that Satan was going to be slain by God at some point? As in Isaiah 27:1 and Ezekiel 28:18-19? Many think that Satan is an immortal creature which cannot possibly be destroyed out of existence. Are you of this opinion yourself perhaps?

You are correct that the millennium period when Satan's deception was bound did NOT occur in the thirty-some years between Christ's ascension and AD 70. (And many Preterists do wrongly assert this error.) The literal thousand-year millennium was finished when the "First resurrection" of Christ...

There is no such thing in scripture as an "OFFICE" of leadership in the church. It's a ministry and a servanthood role. And you have yet to address the "elect lady" in 2 John and her "elect sister" who had "children" of the assemblies they led in the way of truth. John was giving directives...

Paul in 2 Thess. 2 (written around AD 54) was giving the believers the particular sign of the Man of Lawlessness to look for (Menahem the Zealot leader making his Messiah claim as "King of the Jews" in the temple in mid AD 66.) This happened just after the Zealot rebellion (the "apostasia" of 2...

The ideal which Christ designed for His church was not for anyone to be "lords over God's heritage" - neither women nor men. The members of an assembly are not to be "sitting under the authority" of ANYONE except the "head of all things to the church" - namely, Christ Jesus and the scriptures...

This was fulfilled by the Zealot leader Menahem in Jerusalem in AD 66. He "exalted himself" over every other Zealot contender for Daniel's prophesied Messiah role. Every one of these competing Zealot leaders was essentially calling themselves "God" by trying to claim the title "King of the...

There was no need to tell women elders (Presbyteras) to only have one husband. Which is why it was never brought up by Paul. But in those days among male elders (Presbyteros) polygamy was a real problem, and needed to be addressed. You are inventing a restriction on women elders which Paul...

That's not what I wrote. Satan was loosed from his millennial chain for a "short time" and a "little season" at the time of Christ's ascension in AD 33. He and his devils were cast out of heaven down to earth in great wrath after that AD 33 war in heaven. It was Christ's blood sacrifice...

No, John did not say that. He said he saw those who were beheaded, and then he proceeded to mention what they did during their natural lifetime before they were beheaded for the word of God. Their deaths by martyrdom took place at varying points during the millennium years. When John wrote in...

All of this above is wrong, according to Jesus in John 5:25-29. Jesus said, "The hour is coming, and NOW IS when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live." This was an hour future to when Jesus was talking when the dead would rise to life again. But also...
