    Another Premillennial absurdity

    Exactly! The Jews sought to kill Him because He rightfully made Himself equal with God. As the Son, He is God! In the same way the Father raises up the dead, so too, Christ gives life (quickens) whom He will. That's why we are all called to honor the Son even as we honor the Father, and he...

    Our hope for the Future

    Paul's distinction is between Israel of faith and Israel in unbelief. Paul is clear God did not cast away His elect remnant from Israel according to grace. Not only did God reserve seven thousand faithful men of old who had not bowed down to the image of Baal, but Paul also argues that he is...

    Our hope for the Future

    How can "all Israel" be an ethnic people since it is completed by Gentiles of faith coming into the same good olive tree of faith with Jews? Carefully reading the words of Paul, he does not say that the blindness in part to Israel will be lifted when the fulness of Gentiles come in. Paul says...

    Our hope for the Future

    Opinion is meaningless without verification from Scripture. Problem is, your basic kindergarten prophecy is not based upon Scripture. If it were you should be able to prove what you allege.

    Our hope for the Future

    The age of the Gentiles is NOW! This Gospel age, or Messianic Age when not only Jews, but also Gentiles come into the Kingdom by grace through faith and the power of the Holy Spirit. This was the mystery that had been hidden in past ages, that Gentiles of faith too would have everlasting life...

    Where in any of these verses does it say Christ will reign UPON the earth?

    Our hope for the Future

    Believers before Christ and after Christ are the Church, or the called out ones, belonging to the body of Christ. The only difference was they lived before the advent of Christ, looking forward to His coming, and we who live after the cross, look for His coming the second time to redeem His Church.

    Our hope for the Future

    The passage tells us the 144,000 are "of all the tribes of the children of Israel". That means they are Israel of faith before the advent of Christ. Because after Christ came there is no longer a distinction made between people of faith. People from all nations of the world who are of faith...

    Our hope for the Future

    I would say the 144,000 could be included with the innumerable multitude, but the passage tells us the 144,000 are "of all the tribes of the children of Israel". That makes a distinction between Israel of old, before the advent of Christ, and the innumerable multitude from all the nations of...

    The Doctrine of Millennialism is destroy by Personal Symbolizing of Scripture.

    Your problem is like that of the Jews of old. You're looking for a physical, material Kingdom on this earth. What are we to believe when we read Christ telling us that casting out devils is proof that His Kingdom has come? Matthew 12:28 (KJV) But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God...

    The Doctrine of Millennialism is destroy by Personal Symbolizing of Scripture.

    The New Testament attests to the FACT the Kingdom is at hand because it has been "at hand" or "near" to whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord since the advent of Christ come to earth a man. Christ came in His Kingdom, and those who believe Him both know and enter into the Kingdom of...

    Can you please show passage or verse that says Christ will reign UPON the earth?

    Our hope for the Future

    Is not the nation of Israel the church in the wilderness before the advent of Christ? Would you agree the Bible was written for the Church since Israel of old was the representation of the Church on earth before the advent of Christ? Acts 7:38 (KJV) This is he, that was in the church in the...

    Our hope for the Future

    You don't see Rev 7 making a distinction between Jews of old (144,000 remnant) and the innumerable multitude who have come out of great tribulation and washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb?

    Do you believe that Christ will not come again until His Kingdom is complete?

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    What I know is that only God can eternally save His people from their sins. If Christ is not Deity, as you claim, then He is not God! I'm glad this seems personal to you! It is my deepest desire to make you see the folly of your doctrine. Who is your Savior, since He is not God?

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    Neither of us have difficulty understanding when Christ walked upon this earth, He was fully human. It's not His humanity that is in question here. It is His Divinity, His Deity which YOU deny that has become the issue. Because YOU don't understand how our Savior and Lord can be both human...

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    If the Son of God is not God who is your Savior? Yes, Scripture tells us "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God". Claiming to be the Son of Deity, is the same as claiming to be God. This is why they crucified Him! He rightfully claimed to be I AM. The Jews clearly understood the implications...

    Paul claimed 3 times that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality.

    Exactly! Where both those who have done good and those who have done evil are resurrected at the same hour that is coming. No separate resurrection for the good, then one thousand years later another resurrection for those who have done evil. At the same hour that is coming all of humanity...
