Yes, I do remember how we have been frustrating one another for many years now regarding our opposing positions of eschatology. I wondered if you would one day come to this site. I've been here now since 11/22, I was happy to find a community where discussion is more freely allowed. The...

Hi David, welcome! I, being amillennial also believe that when the seventh trumpet begins to sound that time shall be no longer, there is still some time left for this world. That time is not yet judgment day, which I believe shall come in A day, the time left after time given the Church for...

That's not redefining a Jew. While Israel is an ethnic people, Israel of God is all people of faith. Your argument implies something not said, since the FACT that all Israel of the biological seeds of Abraham are not all Israel that shall be saved. And you continue to say Christ will save...

It is only the DEAD, according to Rev 20 who shall be called before the judgment throne to be judged according to what is written in the books and the book of life. Believers won't be judged then because Christ has already been judged for us. When we are in Christ, what He has we have, that's...

No facts don't set us free! However, the Gospel proclaimed in the power of His Spirit for all who believe does set us free. The Gospel is the message about Christ that is offered unto all people without cost, and those who hear and believe by grace through faith (the power of God) are given...

Behold, if you believe that saints of Christ can live in bodies of death without ever succumbing to sin, then it is you who needs to study the Bible and stop taking verses here and there to create a doctrine the whole of Scripture denies. Yes, we are in Christ saints; saints who are not yet...

Because Scripture says men die once then comes the judgment. Since being cast into the lake of fire is the SECOND DEATH, how can it not be final? How many more times will those in the lake of fire be permitted to live once and die again, and again, and again? Death IMO is death of the whole...

Why does Scripture tell us God chastens whom He loves? What is He chastening whom He calls sons/daughters for? Is it not to drive them to repentance for not walking perfectly in the Spirit as we should?

How is it not the final verdict since it is the SECOND DEATH that is forever? We must obtain God's mercy through the work of Christ before we die. Because after we die then comes the judgment? Judgment to the second death has no mercy for there is only unending death!

We need to read all of Scripture as a cohesive whole. If our understanding of any part of Scripture causes contradiction elsewhere, then our understanding is lacking, for the Word of God NEVER contradicts!

This is where you lose me. Christ came to pay for all sin that His creation too shall be saved through Him. Because all of creation came under the bondage of death through sin when sin entered into His creation. You confuse Christ saving His whole creation (world) with 'world' meaning...

Yes Christ came to save His creation, and those people living in His creation who believe in/on Him for everlasting life.

According to Scripture the dead shall be judged according to what is written in the books and the book of life. For all whose names are not found recorded in the book of life are cast into the lake of fire that is the SECOND DEATH. How is dying a second time forever not inference of a harsh...

Made free from sin? What exactly does that mean? Are you saying that saints, who have been saved by grace through faith and understand that, will never succumb to sin again? I believe we are saved from the penalty that came because of sin, which is death, but while I'm clothed in flesh that...

See Rev 19:11-21

Yes, and if we don't get who "this generation" is right, then much of the Discourse cannot be rightly understood. Christ cannot be speaking of His biological seeds because not all that is written was fulfilled in 70 AD. Some say "this generation" speaks of the generation of the devil, because...

If you can't remember what I've said and reply to what I've actually stated, I see little reason to continue. Where did I say Paul taught that unfaithful Jews were never Jews? Paul writes of two people (1) Israel of the natural biological seeds of Abraham (2) Israel of God, the supernatural...

Daniel 7:13-14 (KJV) I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages...

I agree Christ was speaking to His disciples living in the first century AD. But rather than limit "this generation" to only these first disciples of Christ, I would argue Christ is speaking to His disciples from the first century to the last, because "this generation" is the chosen generation...

I think at least part of our misunderstanding comes because some don't understand that what was soon, near, even at the doors when Christ spoke these words was not Him coming again at the end of this age. Rather Christ was telling His disciples throughout this Gospel age that the Kingdom of God...
