    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    I agree, Christ warns the first century Jewish disciples of things that would come to them. Are these words spoken to them of no value for all of Christ's disciples to come? Are the things written of Old and the discourse not meant to be an example for the whole church? But notice when...

    Bodily and visibly are not in question! What is in question is the difference Scriptures shows us between a few disciples of Christ seeing His ascension to heaven, and every eye seeing Him descending from heaven.

    I don't ignore the truth that Christ was literally speaking to His first century disciples of things that would come upon them. I simply don't limit Christ's words to them alone as Preterists attempt to. The words Christ spoke from the Mount of Olives in the first century AD is written of...

    Their eyes were opened to the consequences of their transgression against God in the day they disobeyed. From that very moment during the time in which they lived they understood how being dead in trespasses and sins is a death sentence for them. As long as they lived, they were dead to God...

    I know I will see Him when He comes again! If I am still physically alive when Christ comes again, I will see His appearing in the clouds. If I have physically died, I will see Him when He calls for me to meet Him in the air at His coming. We shall ALL see Him when we are ALL called to stand...

    I disagree! Christ was clearly physically visible to His disciples until a cloud received Him out of their sight as He ascended up to heaven. This truth is further conveyed in Daniel 7 where Daniel saw through vision one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven to the Ancient of...

    With physical sight every eye shall see Christ returning in the clouds. Revelation 1:7 (KJV) Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Matthew 24:30 (KJV) And then...

    How do you prove it was their spirit that died, since Scripture says it is the spirit that gives life? If the spirit in them died, how did their body continue to be physically alive since they were not born again? It was through the fallen, not dead, spirit within them, giving them physical...

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    Indeed, every eye shall most assuredly see Christ when He returns. Not only shall Christ be seen coming in the clouds to all who are still physically alive upon this earth when He comes again, also all who have died shall be resurrected to life to see the Son of God standing before the judgment...

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    How could they have observed the cloud receiving Him out of their sight if they had not seen Him bodily ascending into heaven? The text of His bodily ascending into heaven doesn't say every eye would seem Him going to heaven. We learn from Scripture that every eye shall see Him descending...

    From the Strong's Concordance here is how "day" has been translated from the Hebrew: yôwm, from an unused root meaning to be hot; a day (as the warm hours), whether literal (from sunrise to sunset, or from one sunset to the next), or figurative (a space of time defined by an associated term)...

    The one day in which they sinned, within the day (age/time) they were physically alive upon this earth.

    When Christ returns, we shall all be changed, including heaven and earth, actually all things are changed out for something better.

    If Christ was not bodily raised from earth to heaven how could His first disciples be witnesses of Christ physically ascending to heaven in the clouds, in the same manner in which He shall be seen returning to earth? Acts 1:9-11 (KJV) And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld...

    Unlike other humans resurrected from the dead, Christ ONLY physically resurrected IMMORTAL & INCORRUPTIBLE and would NEVER die again. All these others being raised for certain purposes have died. This is what makes the resurrection of Christ unique from ALL others!

    Christ did NOT come in 70 A.D! Utter destruction through the wrath of God came to the city and temple just as God had promised! When those of Old came out of the graves AFTER the first resurrection (Jesus' resurrection), it could not have been in physical immortal & incorruptible bodies. The...

    Day is defined as both one twenty-four-hour period of time as well as the whole age in which one is physically alive on this earth. God told Adam he would live forever IF he obeyed God. But if he disobeyed God's command, in that day he would die. For that reason, Adam & Eve and their...

    1 Peter 1:3-5 (KJV) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in...

    The only resurrection to immortality recorded in the Bible is the "first resurrection" which pertains to the resurrection of Christ physically from the dead, and the only other resurrection to immortal life shall be when the last/seventh trumpet begins to sound in an hour coming when ALL the...
