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

    NO, it doesn't! We were a physical, spiritual body of believers in life, and Paul writes that when our flesh is dead, we are still a spiritual body of believers ascended to heaven where we wait for an hour that is coming when the last trumpet sounds time/delay shall be no longer, when we are...

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

    Now, after explaining that zao means to have life, you add it "implies" in the body. Life is life whether physical or spiritual, it is still life. And when there is life (soul) it's because the spirit LIVES on after the flesh of believers has breathed its last. Again, this simply confirms...

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

    What's the difference between there shall be no more delay as some manuscripts have it or there shall be time no longer as the KJV has it? It still says when the seventh trumpet begins to sound the mystery that had been hidden shall be known. The mystery, as I've already shown you is that...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    Did you hear the latest news? DeSantis dropped out of the running and endorsed DONALD TRUMP! That speaks volumes!

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

    What would be the purpose for our spirit to be with Christ after our flesh is dead if it is without LIFE? There is no logic in believing our spirit remains with Christ after physical death if we are not spiritually alive! We are a physical, spiritual body of Christ as long as we are...

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

    This is what we refer to as reading our doctrine into the text. Where does John say anything about a body in this text? He doesn't! He writes only "yet shall he live:" John is showing us how he can see (Rev 20) LIFE after physical death for all who die in faith. They still have life (zao)...

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

    EXACTLY! No, we are not living in our bodies of flesh after we have physically died! That's what I've been repeatedly telling you, but you seem to want life in the mortal flesh after death anyway! These martyred saints have lived and reigned with Christ while they were physically alive. Since...

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

    They cannot have lived and reigned with Christ in the flesh during TIME, which a thousand years symbolizes after they have physically died. Because NONE shall be bodily resurrected until the last/seventh trumpet sounds that TIME shall be no longer! The only way these martyred saints could have...

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

    Correct! Only our spirit returns to God in heaven AFTER our physical flesh has died. It has always been the purpose of Christ to give eternal/everlasting life to whosoever lives and believes in Him. They shall NEVER DIE!

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

    If we are not with Christ in heaven a spiritual body of believers there, why did Christ say NOTHING shall separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord? Your doctrine has us separated from the love of God we have through Christ once we physically die. I believe Christ when...

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

    How could they live in their bodies of flesh after being martyred for their faith? They lived and reigned with Christ in their bodies of flesh during this time symbolized a thousand years BEFORE they were martyred for their faith! Once our flesh breathes its last, man will not have a body of...

    Understanding the Unquenchable Fire.

    But Lazarus died before Christ defeated sin and death. He did not have the Holy Spirit to give him eternal/everlasting spiritual life because Christ had not yet sent His Spirit to be within us, and none could go to heaven until after the resurrection of Christ. What is true of all who died in...

    Understanding the Unquenchable Fire.

    This is one of the things that prevents me from questioning what is said to be forever/eternal. If the life we receive through Christ is never ending life first through His Spirit in us, then through resurrected flesh changed from mortal to immortal, I accept that death has no power over those...

    Understanding the Unquenchable Fire.

    Because I am NOT immortal as long as I am clothed in mortal body! My only hope, the only hope for all mankind is found in Christ Jesus our Lord alone! If we desire to have eternal/everlasting life through the Spirit of Christ we MUST be born again before our mortal body breathes its last. We...

    Understanding the Unquenchable Fire.

    Yes, indeed we do have this hope! We also have assurance that the supernatural life we have through the Spirit of Christ within shall not leave us and shall be with us until our mortal body is resurrected immortal and reunited with our eternal spirit that through Christ's Spirit in us that...

    Understanding the Unquenchable Fire.

    Yes, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit within. It is the Spirit that gives us supernatural breath of life (spirit) that Christ says shall NEVER die. With the Spirit of Christ within us, the breath of life (spirit) leaves our dead flesh & bone and the spirit returns to God who gave it. Through...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    I fear you might be addressing a member of the choir, having their own way of forcing Scripture to accommodate their man-made doctrines of deception. Nonetheless this shows excellent understanding of the spiritual language written through the providence of God. AMEN Apak!

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    Yes the two are both men of flesh! And both were raised up by God to lead the people. I know what King David did in repenting to God for the sins he committed, because the Bible tells us. We don't know what is in the heart of Trump! And to pretend we do because he has a personality that...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    I agree! I can't help but look at King David for example, called "a man after God's own heart". An adulterer, liar and murderer, yet God called him to be the King over His people. Trump was president through the will and providence of God, and if he is elected again, he will again be...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    Luke 21:29-32 (KJV) And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand...
