    Which Millennium is better? Amil's or Premil's proposed millennium?

    How do you have an Amil millennium? Amil means no millennium.

    Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit - The unforgivable sin?

    The unpardonable sin is not an individual's sin, but a nation's sin, the Jewish nation. The sin is the rejection of Jesus as Messiah and attributing Jesus' miracles to Satan. The sin can no longer be committed now that Christ has ascended to heaven.

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    No! the Holy Spirit illuminates the scripture so that we can understand it. If anything, I would say the the Word (Jesus) is the Bible in a sense. Listen, this is not the kind of scholarly interaction I was hoping for on this site, I went ahead and Ignored you so there is no reason to send me...

    The Covenants of Israel

    One problem with what you wrote, is that the Abrahamic Covenant is an everlasting covenant. I noticed you didn't quote one verse in the OT. I will assume you don't read the OT. But all of the unconditional covenants are still awaiting fulfillment, which initially begins in the Millennium (an OT...

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    These words in your post were the same words spoken in Bible College by the people that were in my opinion lazy. They wanted God to act like a Genie and waited on God to give them supernatural insight into the Word. I am not saying you are lazy, but perhaps these words will remind you that the...

    The Covenants of Israel

    What are some of the blessings of these Covenants: The things promised by God are the following: 1. That Abraham’s name shall be great. 2. That a great nation (Israel) should come from him. 3. He should be a blessing so great that in him shall all families of the earth be blessed. 4. To him...

    The Covenants of Israel

    Again, the Abrahamic covenant has an important bearing on the doctrine of resurrection. The promise entailed in the covenant is the basis of the Lord’s refutation of the unbelief of the Sadducees (this group denied the Resurrection) in the fact of resurrection. To those who denied the...

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    It would seem you have committed the error of Equivocation. You appear to be saying that the elect are justified (saved) when they obey (the Gospel??), and the same is true for Gentiles. Do I understand you correctly? But in the second sentence the issue is not salvation, but...

    The Covenants of Israel

    I have you marked as Ignore, so I can't see what you have said. You need not write me again.

    Gnosticism everywhere! John 1.1.

    The problem with this is that organized Gnosticism didn't emerge until the very late part of the first century and was more so a cult of the 2nd century. There is no evidence of the Gnostics before AD 70.

    for me

    Don't forget James 1.2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. I thank God for...

    The Covenants of Israel

    A definition of covenants A divine covenant is (1) a disposition of God, whereby he establishes an unconditional or declarative compact with man, obligating himself, in grace, by the formula, “I WILL,” to bring to pass of himself definite blessings for the covenanted ones, or (2) a proposal of...

    GJohn 1.18

    If there were a definite article with THEOS it would support the heresy of Modalism. It would be saying that the Word and the Father are the same persons.

    Revelation 2:10 ....and you will have tribulation 10 days...

    i definitely believe that John saw an actual woman on an actual beast. And yes I believe John saw a beast with 7 literal heads and 10 literal horns. There is nothing unusual taking this as literal. We can consult Daniel to get some help on what the beast represents and make sure that we are not...

    Revelation 2:10 ....and you will have tribulation 10 days...

    See if this helps. i apologize for misunderstanding you. I believe that there is a literal harlot woman in John's vision. I believe she is literally sitting on the waters Obviously waters is not likely to be literal, but I would consider it odd for someone to take the waters literally. But...

    The 7 year Tribulation and the 7 year 70th 'week' (better translated 'seven')

    Matt 24.9 uses the word thlipsis (tribulation) of the first half of the Trib. As a Dispensationalist, I take the 70th week as the 7 year Tribulation. They are one and the same thing using our hermeneutic.

    Revelation 2:10 ....and you will have tribulation 10 days...

    That is the difference between a symbolic hermeneutic vs a literal hermeneutic. As I said above, I take everything in the Bible literally, and if the literal interpretation does not work, then I will consider other ways to interpret it, but my FIRST approach is a literal, grammatical, historical...

    Revelation 2:10 ....and you will have tribulation 10 days...

    My default hermeneutics is to take the Bible literally, and as I said before,as for numbers, I take them literally unless very good reason dictates that the number not be taken literally. Each number has to be judged by itself and the context in which it is found. There are many commentaries...

    Revelation 2:10 ....and you will have tribulation 10 days...

    I can tell by your posts that you have not had any formal Bible Training. You don't understand the Apostolic Age and the subsequent Church Age. The Scriptures are taught to Christians by the Spirit as they study the Word, not some mystical experience that God only gives to a few. All believers...
