    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    Do you deny the thousand years regardless of whether you believe it to be literal or symbolic, equates to TIME? Of course it does! Now you've created a problem for yourself because John writes in Rev 10:5-7 that when the seventh angel begins to sound time/delay should be no longer. How can...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    As I just pointed out in the previous reply, there won't be the same old earth you imagine might be where this one thousand years begins. Since the new earth shall indeed be everlasting, how can it begin with one thousand literal years? What happens then? Will there be another new heaven and...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    That's a major understatement to say the least! Notice at the GWTJ the earth and heaven have fled away; and there was found no place for them. Not only different but a new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness, not for one thousand years, but forever! Revelation 20:11 (KJV) And...

    At least you're honest enough to acknowledge the inconsistencies C&Z have presented. Sadly, I also doubt that it will make any difference!

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    This is exactly what Christ has done, and through the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is doing! Those who come into the Kingdom of God have been gathered, and cleansed, and are being gathered and cleansed as the Gospel of the Kingdom of God continues to be preached unto all the nations of the...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    While I agree the Kingdom of God that Christ came with is not yet complete, which is why Christ says it is near/at hand to whosoever hears the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and believes on Christ. But when you say praying "thy Kingdom come" indicates the Kingdom of God hasn't yet been realized...

    The Lake of Fire or Hell

    Yes, mortal/physical souls can be eternally lost. But mortal/physical souls having within them the life giving Spirit from Christ have life everlasting. So when the mortal/physical soul of believers die we have assurance from Christ that our spirit shall return to God in heaven ALIVE, still...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    The New Testament does not draw this distinction, you make the distinction to fit what you believe. When Christ came to earth a man the Kingdom of God had come, and the same Kingdom of God is near/at hand to all who call upon His name. The testimony through signs and miracles proclaimed by...

    It is a rhetorical question that each professing faith in Christ should ask and answer for themselves! Not designed to deceive!

    The Lake of Fire or Hell

    I agree the Revelation does contain much symbolic language. The purpose for referring to these martyred saints as 'souls' indicates life after physical death. Because without life in some form they cannot be souls. Why is it important for John to speak of these martyred saints as 'souls'? To...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    The Kingdom of God is absolutely detached from all that is physical upon this earth! His Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom that shall NEVER be destroyed. But everything of this earth, including the earth itself shall all be utterly destroyed by the fire that comes down from God out of heaven...

    Sorry, but Nicodemus did not see the Kingdom of God, he saw the miracles that Christ performed while alive on the earth that testified or proved the Kingdom of God had come. You cannot see with physical sight that which is within you! Sorry, but I don't believe the NASB has it correct at...

    Did Nicodemus see it? Mankind does not recognize the Kingdom of God through physical sight! We know it and have entered into the Kingdom of God through FAITH! Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

    I wouldn't and have not! This is why I seldom reply to what you specifically write in these forums. You seem unable to argue against what is actually said, and instead make up lunacy and pretend it's what has been argued for or against.

    The Lake of Fire or Hell

    Are you sure these, (I assume) Old Covenant texts describe history continuing after Christ's second coming, are NOT describing what shall be when the promised Messiah would come? After all is it NOT the prophesy of a Messiah to come the prophets of Old write extensively of?

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    Yes, after the second coming of Christ when the last/seventh trumpet sounds that time/delay shall be no longer. There is NO physical resurrection before an hour that is coming when the final trumpet sounds. You obviously know this, so why don't you drop the pretense of Premillennialist...

    The Lake of Fire or Hell

    Why does Scripture show living souls alive after physical death? Is it not because the spirit given to every human returned to God alive through the Spirit of Christ in them? Revelation 20:4 (KJV) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    Yes, we can only know and enter the Kingdom of God by grace through faith when we are born again and have Christ's Spirit within you. Just as we know Christ and His Kingdom through what we see as the fruit of the Spirit within makes known the Kingdom of God through Christ's Spirit within man...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    I know what Jesus said to Nicodemus. He told Him and us that none can KNOW or ENTER the Kingdom of God until they are born again through the Spirit that is within you. It is not through being physically born again, but spiritually born from above. We do not visibly see the Spirit of Christ...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    Could the Kingdom of God that Christ said had come be visibly seen when He walked the earth a man? NO! He and all He did while alive on the earth could be visibly seen, but the Kingdom of God is not observed with physical sight. You are preoccupied with the physical flesh of people saying...
