More than the Lord's contemporaries, they were the chosen generation that shall not pass until all things are fulfilled. 1 Peter 2:9-10 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called...

Those were resurrected from the dead! They are not physically resurrected because none shall be physically resurrected before an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds. Why do you not read the passage in context? If Christ was speaking of the physical resurrection that shall come, why would...

Again, your example of Christmas coming is no different than the leaves on trees beginning to show life in due season year after year. The same applies to the Christmas celebration with all the festive fanfare and commercialism. How does this holiday seasonally repeated prove the Lord's second...

That's not what you're trying to prove. You NEED the parable of the fig tree to be about the second coming of Christ to fit your doctrine. If memory serves me, I believe you are post millennial??? All of the parables pertain to the spiritual Kingdom of God that has come, and no matter how...

You again want to pick and choose what part of the Revelation you view as literal language and what part you view as symbolic/imaginary language, depending on which fits your doctrinal point of view you are trying to read into the text. To be seated on thrones is not different than the meaning...

The Revelation uses symbolic language to demonstrate spiritual truths. We must discern what the symbols are used for if we are to rightly understand. John was given to understand that physical life for believers does not mean our spirit will return to God after our body dies, without life...

It doesn't say "spiritual resurrection", it IS a spiritual resurrection! What part of man is "dead in trespasses and sins" before they are quickened/made alive (spiritually) by being born again? We are physically alive, but spiritually man is DEAD without the presence of the Holy Spirit within...

The problem is that the chosen generation is not limited to any single generation of what you reckon as 40 years. I believe most people get caught up in trying to determine whether or not we are near to the Lord returning. Most readily accept that Christ came with His Kingdom, and that His...

What about the "chosen generation"? Do you define them also as 40 years? 1 Peter 2:9-10 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light...

You apparently cannot biblically prove that ALL the parables of Christ are given to point us to the SPIRITUAL Kingdom of God using earthly, familiar examples of things that we might know His Kingdom has come. Which is what I have consistently stated, and believe. You NEED this particular...

You got that right!

This topic seems to be filling the forums of late. I agree! When Christ spoke to these first century Jewish disciples they were "this generation" because they are the beginning of a chosen generation of saints, and through their faithfulness to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, the...

We've all said the same thing! You are either blind or you refuse to see, which is it? We have all said and renumerated faithful saints without any consideration whatsoever of their ethnic makeup is "the Israel of God" where there is neither Jew nor Gentile but Christians. PERIOD!

Really, you don't have to read or reply to EVERY post! If you object to long posts why read them and then have the audacity to complain about there length? All the doctrines of Scripture are related, because the Word of God is a cohesive whole. It doesn't bother me in the least to be ignored...

Prove what you allege! Prove from the Word of God that a parable is not always given to show the spiritual Kingdom of God has come using things that are familiar. I've given Scripture to prove what I allege, I shall patiently await the Scripture you think may prove the parable of the fig tree...

You're right there is not one single Gentile Christian called Israel! However every Gentile of faith with Jews of faith are called "the Israel of God." One is an ethnic people, the other all people of faith.

You're a rare breed Marty fox! Love & blessings.

Exactly! And what was the generation Christ was speaking to called? 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: This...

Then show them in a concise manner, that we too may know! The discussion I was having with TS was necessarily long, because he had many bullet points that needed to be addressed. If you have a problem with overly long replies you don't inject yourself into the discussion. This is humorous...

We already know that Jesus is near and at the doors. He is but the Gospel spoken and believed away from each and every one of us. The signs Christ gives regarding His coming again is not a fig tree showing life, because His coming will be sudden and unexpected for all who are not watching and...
