    Question: Why not believe in Christ's millennial reign on earth?

    No, actually what the poster said is that the church age has been since the time of Adam. This confuses you because you don't understand the difference between what was before the advent of Christ, the Church on earth, and what the Church has become since the advent of Christ. You believe the...

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    It's all he/she has! Only God can forgive sins. Since they deny the deity of Christ, they have no Redeemer to pay the penalty for their sins.

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    But you are the one without the Spirit of truth to teach you these things of God, because you deny the deity of Christ, you have no Savior. Those who wrote the creeds were not confused, YOU ARE! You appear to have head knowledge without heart knowledge, really sad!

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    Of course, it is a contradiction and meaningless to YOU! Since you have no Savior, you are of the world and have not the Spirit to enlighten your biblical understanding. Apart from the Spirit of truth in you, whom the world without the Savior cannot receive, you cannot understand, nor can you...

    2 Peter 3:10 The Big Whoosh

    Jesus by His Gospel calls all humanity to come out of darkness and death into His light and eternal spiritual life. Paul, speaking to the physically living says apart from Christ we are dead in trespasses and sins? In what way are the physically living DEAD, and yet able to be quickened (made...

    Question: Why not believe in Christ's millennial reign on earth?

    Actually we have two comings of Christ. He came to earth a man in the first century AD, and He will come the second time when this Messianic Gospel age, symbolized a thousand years is finished.

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

    Yes, after death these martyred saints are alive in heaven, having LIVED and REIGNED with Christ in time, symbolized a thousand years. They are alive even after physical death because death no longer has power over those who are in Christ. While alive in time on this earth they believed Christ...

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

    How about this passage that says all who are in the graves shall be resurrected the same hour that is coming? John 5:28-29 (KJV) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the...

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    You acknowledge Abraham will receive the land of promise when the Lord returns. But do you realize that in Christ the promise of land is not limited to the land of Canaan, but expands to include inheritance of the whole earth? Why would Abraham look forward to receiving the promised land of...

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    Actually by your words you deny this! Who is able to forgive sins but God? The scribes certainly do not deny the deity of Christ, and even accuse Him of blasphemies, thinking Christ is making Himself equal with God, why do you deny Christ is God? Mark 2:5-7 (KJV) When Jesus saw their faith...

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    No, it is NOT a meaningless contradiction! Christ was fully human through the seed of Mary, and He is also fully God through the Holy Spirit supernaturally creating Him while in His mother's womb. Matthew 1:20-23 (KJV) But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord...

    Eternal Life is Now not Later

    Of course the DEAD know nothing after their body breathes its last! How could the DEAD have any life whatsoever after physical death since they died in unbelief? That means they did not have the power of the Holy Spirit in them keeping their spirit alive. But the DEAD IN CHRIST are not...

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    Since C&Z deny that Christ is the great I AM, they shall die in their sins unless they repent. Claiming to be I AM is His claim to deity! And the reason He was crucified, because He agreed when the Pharisee's asked if His was, "I AM". John 8:24 (KJV) I said therefore unto you, that ye...

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    Even worse than that! It's re-writing the Words of God in the way they think God really meant. IOW thinking they know better than God and need to teach Him.

    Eternal Life is Now not Later

    The physical body is destined to die from the fall. It's not the body that does not die. When we are IN CHRIST, it's our spirit through the life-giving spirit within that gives us eternal spirit life. Even after our body dies, the Spirit of Christ in us, will continue to give us spiritual...

    Eternal Life is Now not Later

    Have any proof for your theory of a demon rather than the spirit of Samuel was aroused by the necromancer? This spirit spoke words of truth to King Saul. Samuel was not brought back to life. It was the spirit of Samuel that continued to have life, even though Samuel had physically died...

    Question: Why not believe in Christ's millennial reign on earth?

    Because unbiblical doctrine is a lie! If one defends and promotes false doctrine, they are deceivers. What does Scripture say about those who teach false doctrine? If we promote false doctrine, can we really be living and walking with Jesus?

    Question: Why not believe in Christ's millennial reign on earth?

    Because there is love for the truth. I realize we all believe we are rightly understanding eschatology, and all argue based on what we believe Scripture says. However, there is a fine line that is crossed when those who promote a ONE thousand year reign of Christ on this earth after Christ...

    Eternal Life is Now not Later

    I agree that in physical death of the unbeliever there is no life. The dead without Christ are in silence and darkness until they are physically resurrected after Christ returns to stand before God at the GWTJ. The dead, not the living, will be judged by the things found written in the books...

    Question: Why not believe in Christ's millennial reign on earth?

    The only way to properly understand the Revelation of Jesus Christ is to understand the style of John's writing. The language of Revelation is apocalyptic (supernaturally inspired cataclysmic events), filled with symbolism throughout. From the first chapter to the last we find John using...
