This is basically how I reason some of this as well. I don't have any issues with this. It would have been nice had you made this post before I made mine, and that I had read this post first. But, unfornately, it didn't turn out that way, no fault of yours of course. Since I don't really have...

Prove it, that that is true in every case. And use the following to prove it. Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. I'll go first and let's see who is being consistent in this case since you seem to be...

I would have addressed the op instead, but apparently that poster has me on ignore. Not that I care nor am I losing sleep over it. The point being, it would be in vain to address the OP if that poster who created it has you on ignore. Some ppl are just immature, I guess. They can't seem to deal...

Thinking out loud here. This is real simple, IMO. Everything labeled 1) below only fits A) below. And everything labeled 2) below only fits B) below. A) This is the first resurrection(Revelation 20:5) B) But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were...

Have you not looked at the Greek word? abussos ab'-us-sos from a - a 1 (as a negative particle) and a variation of buqoV - buthos 1037; depthless, i.e. (specially) (infernal) "abyss":-- deep , (bottomless) pit Revelation 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit(abussos), and shut him up...

One way to maybe clear this up, provide a verse or verses in either the OT and or in the NT which you feel supports taking a thousand in the literal sense.

Can't say I'm familiar with that. Do you think there is a connection here then?

maybe bottomless can simply mean unfathomable depth? Doesn't have to mean it is literally bottomless, though.

Maybe I should clarify what I'm meaning by a literal place. I'm meaning in a realm that we are not familiar with, have not seen, and that within this realm spirits can be literally imprisoned in a literal place of some kind. What about when someone lost dies, per your view? If spirits can't be...

Exodus 12:21 ¶Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. 22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts...

Why can't it be a literal place that literally imprisons spirit beings? Maybe the LOF isn't a literal place, either? Maybe it too is just a spiritual condition? In Revelation 20 both the pit and LOF have the following in common, meaning what I have underlined in each. Revelation 20:3 And cast...

If your position is that Abaddon and satan are one and the same, though personally I disagree they are, you are not making much sense in that case. As if it is reasonable that if the pit is opened and satan is inside, and that satan then says, thanks, but no thanks. I don't want out of here as...

In the NT, in the KJV in this case, there is no exact phrase for 'one thousand'. Yet there is an exact phrase for 'two thousand', 'three thousand', 'four thousand', etc. It then begs the question, what then in the NT means one thousand? 'A thousand' of course. What else if not that? After all...

Seriously, what do hills have to do with years? They are not the same concept. A thousand hills literally means every hill, even if there are billions of hills. One can't argue in the same manner regarding years though, that a thousand years mean every single year since the beginning of time...

As if nothing can ever be compressed in passages where the missing details have to be found elsewhere. It is not reasonable that the very same day Christ returns, 1 Corinthians 15:28 is fulfilled that same day. The way you try and get around all of this, once Christ returns everything that still...

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. a thousand(chilioi) two hundred(diakosioi) and threescore(hexekonta) days chilioi + diakosioi + hexekonta = 1260 days Suppose an Amil...

It's an era of time consisting of 1000 literal years. It's that simple since that is the only thing that makes sense of the verse. The same way one day is an era of time consisting of a literal 24 hours. In order to prove the former wrong you first need to prove the latter wrong. Something...

You are not making sense here or you totally misunderstood my point. My point was in regards to the various translations of Matthew 19:28 that @Scott Downey submitted per that post I was addressing at the time. All of them make it crystal clear that the sitting on these thrones happens after...

If your position is, that when they are sitting on these thrones equals them assisting Christ judging others, what passages support that? Take Matthew 25, for instance. Where you take that to also be meaning the GWTJ. If per your view, all of the saved since the beginning of time through the end...

For your sake, not @Spiritual Israelite sake, you need to repent of this. 1 John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 11 For this is the message that ye heard from...
