    This is a new one for me! "Christianity has absolutely nothing to do with belief"???? "Truth does not require belief, its fact". Yes, truth is indeed fact. If one lives and dies without believing the truth, that is fact of salvation found Christ alone by God's grace alone through faith...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    I always smile inwardly when you present this argument using this verse out of context. We all know why you do this. Presenting the context of this passage unequivocally proves you err in believing it proves two bodily resurrections. The living souls who have physically died will return with...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Believers live and reign with the Lord in life and in death. John, speaking while alive is living and reigning with Christ in time, this age, symbolized a thousand years. John didn't stop living and reigning with Christ after his death, he simply left his dead body and spiritually ascended to...

    Lake of fire

    If we are not found IN CHRIST we shall not be saved! Humanity is without excuse because ALL mankind is in Adam before he/she believes in Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:22 (KJV) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

    Yes, once physical death and the grave that holds them are destroyed in the lake of fire that is the second death then comes the end and then comes the next eternal age on the new earth where there shall be no more sin or death.

    Lake of fire

    Exactly! ALL who are IN CHRIST shall be made alive, just as ALL who are in Adam die. Only those who belong to Christ will be with Christ at His coming again. Then comes the end! No more time, time shall be no more. No time for getting right with God after physical death or after He comes again.

    Lake of fire

    Hell in the New Testament is translated from two Greek words: (1) géenna - defined as ge-henna (or Ge-Hinnom), a valley of Jerusalem, and used (figuratively) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment (2) háidēs - "Hades" or the place (state) of departed souls: grave, hell...

    Incorrect! Prove what you allege using Scripture rather than opinion???

    Yes, and the sin that condemns us eternally is that of unbelief. From which there shall be no escape for whosoever dies in unbelief, shall be cast into the lake of fire that is the second death, never to know life again.

    Lake of fire

    How can the lake of fire be a kind of purgatory since it is the "second death"? Those who are cast into the lake of fire shall never again know life since the second death will be not only of the body but also of the soul. If there is no soul, there is no life. Matthew 10:28 (KJV) And fear not...

    Yes, Patrick, God shows no favoritism toward any particular nation of people. He will save all people who believe in all the nations of the world. This is not different than what is written in 1Tim 2. Again and again the Bible makes this distinction to prove salvation through our Lord is not...

    Lake of fire

    Death of the physical body that goes into the grave (hades) is utterly destroyed in the lake of fire that is the second death. Hell is throughout Scripture used interchangeably with the physical place of the dead and the place of eternal torment. That's because for the one who goes into the...

    Lake of fire

    Jesus seeks and saves the lost, and whosoever is found of Him shall have eternal (never ending) life through Him. But as has already been stated not all shall be found for on judgment day those who remain in unbelief shall hear the Lord telling them “Then He will say to those on his left...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Yes the Lord is in His spiritual realm! What you fail to understand is that when we have partaken of Christ in life we too are SPIRITUALLY living and reigning with Him. It does not matter whether we are physically alive or that we have died, we shall never again be separated from the Lord...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    The martyred souls are indeed in heaven. How did they get there? They lived and reigned with Christ in TIME, for which a thousand years equates before they died. It is because they were already spiritually alive in Christ when they died, they as living souls ascended to heaven after they were...

    Lake of fire

    Notice again the verse below. It clearly says that every human shall die once, after that the judgment. Where can we find verses to prove people still have opportunity to accept Christ after death? Hebrews 9:27 (KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment...

    Lake of fire

    Carefully notice the verse below. Jesus came to earth to save not ALL people, but HIS people from their sins. The fact the lake of fire exists is proof that not ALL people shall be HIS saved people. Matthew 1:21 (KJV) And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Yes, you continue to repeat this, but have not yet biblically proven what you allege? It's fine to have an opinion about Bible doctrine, we all have opinions, but unless we can prove through the Word of God that our opinions are biblical, they remain our opinion and should be re-considered.

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    You may be ignorant of what I'm talking about, but what tactics exactly? Mankind is created with a spirit (breath of life) and a body (dust of the earth) and together they are called "living souls." We are only complete living souls, which every living breathing creature on earth is, when we...
