Where does our living spirit go when our physical body dies? If our spirit dies with our physical body then the eternal life Christ promises to all who live and believe in Him is temporal and dependent upon physical life.

A thousand years equates to TIME! We both understand this, but you insist on putting a definitive limit on this time, then insist it shall not be until Christ comes again. But this does not agree with what John has written. How can martyred souls who LIVED and REIGNED with Christ a thousand...

What happened to their eternal spirit indwelt with the life giving Spirit from Christ when they physically died? The Lord has already come and through Him we have eternal life through His Spirit in us, and that life, as Christ has promised, shall NEVER die! Do you believe this? Christ would...

Perhaps you are referencing reply #90 where I said: "That's why John sees ALIVE faithful souls after physical death. They are not alive physically but spiritual souls, as are the angels of God in heaven." I can't find reference to your above quote. How could John see physical life after death...

I agree. It was refusing to receive the mark of the beast that enabled the faithful, physically dead souls to continue to be alive after physical death during this time of a thousand years when they lived and reigned with Christ.

You think quoting these verses proves a thousand years will be ONE thousand years after Christ returns? But what it really proves is that you do not believe the words of Christ. Christ very clearly says that whosoever lives and believes in Him shall NEVER die. Physical death does not mean...

Then why aren't you able to explain how if your ONE thousand years are physical and on this earth after Christ returns, can John see souls physically alive after physical death who LIVED and REIGNED with Christ during this period? Nor can you explain how these living souls in life during a...

That doesn't make sense, because the souls John sees alive during this period of time "were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived...

Amill does not believe a thousand years means ONE thousand years. That's what differentiates Amill which means NO millennium, from Millennialists who believe a thousand years physically means ONE thousand years.

We are born again while we are physically alive and spiritually dead! You who were dead in trespasses and sins! Do you think Paul is addressing corpses? Of course not! He's warning us regarding our spiritual state because the Kingdom of God is within you and spiritual, not physical...

David, I believe you posted these particular verses because you believe they support your doctrinal view. You're not eager to answer my questions directly because if you answer honestly, you would be faced with contradiction of Scripture. If a thousand years equates to time, of which it does...

You haven't answered the questions I put forth to you. When John writes a thousand years he is speaking of TIME, for which I assume you would agree a thousand years equates to TIME??? How can the thousand years begin after the resurrection of the just since these saints have already lived and...

Do you believe a thousand years equate to a certain amount of time? Do you also believe that time, whether one thousand literal years, or more has been given this Messianic Gospel age/time?

Explain how that can be since John writes of faithful saints who are alive because in time, a thousand years, they LIVED and REIGNED with Christ? Since they already lived and reigned, then died for their faith during this age of time how can the first resurrection be the physical resurrection...

Once again you are trying to force an unbiblical doctrine into the Bible, which causes contradiction which you seem not to be concerned about. When read in context it is clear that Paul is simply telling us the physically dead in Christ will be resurrected before (first) those who are still...

If I was trying to prove your unbiblical doctrine, I too, like you would ignore Jo 5:28-29 where Christ unapologetically tells us those resurrected to life and those resurrected to damnation shall be physically resurrected from the graves at the same hour that is coming. How could you possibly...

When John writes a thousand years he is speaking of TIME, for which I assume you would agree a thousand years equates to TIME??? You say this TIME John writes a thousand years does not begin until the second coming of Christ and the resurrection of the just. But John writes that he saw...

I find it hard to believe the lengths you will go attempting to prove an unbiblical doctrine. You really believe the "rest of the dead" who NEVER live or reign with Christ in time are the first resurrection one must have part in to overcome the second death? READ IN CONTEXT! The rest of the...

No it doesn't! You're just making that up! First means the first in order. The dead in Christ are bodily resurrected BEFORE (which is what first means) those still alive in Christ. Look for example at this verse that tells us Adam "the first man" came before the last Adam "a quickening...

First John sees those who LIVED and REIGNED with Christ a thousand years alive after physical death. Revelation 20:4 (KJV) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of...
