The Greek word defined 'beheaded' in Rev 20 is not the same word used to define the 'beheading' of John the Baptist. The Greek word that describes the literal beheading of John, means physically having the head cut off, but the Greek word that describes those beheaded in Rev 20 is translated...

The serpent was intentionally created to be more cunning and crafty (not in a good way) than the rest. And knowing by his being created this way he would be able to deceive the humans He created in His likeness & image, God allowed him to be with A&E in the garden to tempt them, why? Ask...

What Adam had that led him to disobey God was 'free will'. With autonomy there is always the potential for being deceived. It wasn't until after A&E disobeyed God that mankind was no longer "very good". From that moment they listened to the voice of evil, they became enslaved to their new...

I agree. Even though we are still clothed in bodies of flesh, all who are in Christ through His Spirit within us are a spiritual body in natural flesh while alive on earth. It isn't that we are CHANGED into a spiritual body when we die, but we change from being a natural spiritual body on...

After making his argument of Christ being resurrected from the physical death that he proves through witnesses, Paul wonders of those who say there is no resurrection of the dead, since the dead Christ has been resurrected bodily. 1 Corinthians 15:12 (KJV) Now if Christ be preached that he...

One of the reasons this verse is more controversial than it need be can be credited to our translation. I know many modern translations say "they came to life", and that implies they were bodily resurrected then lived and reigned with Christ for ONE thousand years. I believe the translators...

The way I have come to understand what Paul means by "spiritual body" is that he is using it in a corporate sense. IOW just as together on this earth all who are of Christ are referred to as a body of Christ. And we are one body with one Spirit one Church one holy people unto God, that does...

Then do you think the physical resurrection that shall come when the last trumpet sounds will be to physical becoming immortal & incorruptible when man shall once again be complete with body + spirit (breath of life) to become a living soul? OR do you believe when man is bodily resurrected it...

The Pharisees ask when the Kingdom of God should come, and the answer Christ gave them was that through Him the Kingdom of God has come already, but in unbelief they did not understand when Christ said that the Kingdom of God is not visible, because it is within you. Some will argue that...

I believe in 1Co 15 Paul speaks of not only the physical resurrection when our body is resurrected and changed when the last trumpet sounds, Paul also speaks of what becomes of man's body after physical death. Paul writes that when our body dies it is not the body that shall be, because the body...

Paul tells us why he, and even Christ continued to be as the Jews under that law was to lead them to Christ. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 (KJV) For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might...

That lasted only as long as the Temple remained. Once Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed in 70 AD, those who professed to believe in Christ for everlasting life would either turn away from Him completely, or fully embrace Him. And this only by grace through faith. IOW the faith those...

Yes, that's why I write they were Israel in unbelief. Those who rejected Christ to remain under the Old. The vail is only done away in Christ. Even after Christ came, Paul writes the vail has not been taken away in the reading of the Old Testament for the part in blindness still. 2...

Paul is talking about the blindness in part belonging to Israel in unbelief. He does not say the blindness that is in part shall be lifted from Israel in unbelief, he is simply stating a fact. But then he says "all Israel" shall still be saved, not because the blindness that is in part is...

GB, who are "them" in vs 27? Would you agree that "them" is "all Israel that shall be saved? If yes, how can "all Israel" be ethnic Israel since their fullness is through Gentiles grafted into the good olive tree with Israel of faith? Would you also agree since the fullness of all Israel is...

I agree! God did not goof when the Kingdom of God was taken from natural, physical Israel of Old and given to all who are and shall be "the Israel of God". As Christ tells us, the chief priests and Pharisees well understood the parable was about them, because they professed themselves to be...

When is the millennium you believe Gentiles shall be grafted into the good olive tree? Why cannot some believe themselves belonging to Kingdom of God be there in unbelief, since the Kingdom of God is not physical but within you? Who are those John says were among the faithful, but departed...

Are you saying that when Christ says whoever lives and believes in Him shall never die, He wasn't aware that after the physical body of a believer dies the spirit having the Spirit of Christ within returns to God without life? Why is the Spirit of Christ within faithful believers within us...

During man's time on this earth there will always be those who say and even themselves believe they have come into the everlasting Kingdom of God in heaven through Christ and have been born again of His Spirit. Many, after a lifetime of believing they were of the spiritual Kingdom of God will...

Jews of faith and Gentiles of faith belong to the everlasting Kingdom of God if they come into the Kingdom of God through Christ, who is the first resurrection who would never die again. How can one be grafted into the everlasting Kingdom of God and then be cut off from the everlasting Kingdom...
