Well, you're welcome... :) To some, in their opinion, yes. :) You're missing my focus in posting those two verses, David. Or purposely making the focus something different... The specific parallel is "These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur" (Rev.19:20) :)...

Yes. In particular: Revelation 19:20 ~ "And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that...

Right; there's no point in repeating things over and over again in response to the same (mis)information. :) ...that I know that talking to a brick wall is an exercise in futility. Not beyond the ones I have already given several times, no. Well, actually, I could, but what I have said...

In... your opinion... :) I don't know where you think they "happen at." :) And I'm not interested in exploring your opinions regarding either. :) Because I've heard enough to know that it's... wise to just back away from... well, to gracefully back away. :) Grace and peace to you.

Sometimes ~ based on what the "challenge" and/or "question" is... and maybe who it's coming from ~ it is wise to do so. :) Excellent. Yes, the basic problem is that many think that the events of Revelation 20:1-6 are sequentially following those events described in Revelation 19:11-21, which...

Ronald. I'm probably wading into a can of worms here, but... :) How is one who sees the amillennial view as scripturally correct an anti-semite...? Because that's... well, no offense intended, but that's quite a ridiculous thought. I think I know at least several elements that your answer...

It is your opinion. In... your opinion. According to your... opinion... regarding how it is to be correctly understood. Nope. But, thanks for reiterating your... opinion. Even this one little statement is a discombobulation and conflation of several things. Well now your discombobulating...

In... your opinion. Mine is otherwise. In... your opinion. Mine is otherwise... or to clarify, the first resurrection is completed when the millennium is ended; and actually that the millennium comes to a close when the collective first resurrection of all individual members of God's elect is...

I do believe this, RWB. But... read on... I understand how that could have appeared that way to you, but I don't think what I say above presents any conflict. I don't believe there will be "more time given for saving elect Jews" ~ that doesn't necessarily follow from what I said. But I do...

Which I have said more than once... So you think; I fully understand. :) So you... and at least some "Amill," because there are variations of amillennialism... think. I agree with you that the just are judged first, as we see in Matthew 25:34-40, and then after the just the unjust, as we see...

The only issue I would take with that, RDB, is that John, at the outset of Revelation, says that anyone who reads aloud the words of this prophecy and/or hears, and keeps what is written in it will be blessed. So, first: I... kinda think <smile> that God wants to bless us (rather than not, or...

I'm really not sure what you're taking issue with, here, RWB. I say that if there is any disagreement between us here, it is very, very minor and not worth quibbling over. It seems we agree that all will be done prior to Christ's return and can leave it at that. Grace and peace to you, brother.

LOL!!! Because there were no I-phones or YouTube, I guess... LOL!!! You're going to believe what you're going to believe, Timtofly. And, you can say the same of me; I'm fine with that. :) It's okay, my friend. Grace and peace to you.

I appreciate your opinion, EWQ, but I think the very same of you. And there are other irresolvable conflicts that your views presents, concerning which I've been very clear. Disagree (yet again). I understand your thinking, but neither Revelation 20 nor any other passage in scripture even...

Paul says it very clearly in Romans 11:25-26... "Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved..." Note the...

Wholeheartedly agreed (as if I ever disagreed with that in principle, because I never did). This much is true... Neither are "mixed," but one (the first, referred to in Revelation 20:4-6, is specific only to God's elect, and corresponds intensely with what Paul says in Ephesians 2 regarding...

See my post above. That's a good question. Luther certainly did say some awful things near the end of his life. He was a man of God, but also a sinner, which doesn't excuse him, certainly, but accounts for why he said some awful things. And even so, that doesn't somehow negate or tarnish or...

Yes, sin is a terrible, awful, ugly... terrible thing. As the writer of Ecclesiastes says, there is nothing new under the sun. Regarding Germany, I think they were swayed" for a number of reasons, included among them were that many did not know what was really going on (ignorance, at least...

Yes, no one disagrees that it "establishes a physical resurrection," but I would submit that what happened here is that some (probably pious Old Testament figures and godly intertestamental Jews) were reimbodied to witness to the new order of things that was now in the process of dawning. This...

Sure, as is the Bible as a whole. And I would call it at least to a very large extent a willful misunderstanding, which is really a contradiction in terms... it's an exchanging of the truth for a lie, as Paul puts it in Romans 1. We certainly agree regarding dispensationalism. <smile>...
