    Why the great chain?

    Yes, of course. You see that I relate Hebrews 2:14-15 to his binding and it says Christ's death is what took away the power of death from Satan. Christ's death is what established the new covenant. So, there is a relationship between Satan's binding and the establishment of the new covenant...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Do you believe in soul sleep? If not, then why do you have trouble understanding how His bride can be with Him in heaven even now? Scripture (1 Thessalonians 4:14) teaches that the souls of the dead in Christ will be with Him at His second coming, so it should be obvious that Revelation 19 is...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Yes, it is. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 indicates that the dead in Christ will be with Jesus when He comes for the resurrection/rapture. So, the souls of the dead in Christ are His bride from heaven that will be with Him when He comes from heaven for the one and only time in the future.

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    You are the one misunderstanding what he said. He has explicitly denied the existence of a spirit being named Satan and of spirit beings called angels and demons many times. How can you not know that? He often has pointed out that the Greek word means "messenger" and any reference to "angels"...
  5. Spiritual Israelite

    Why the great chain?

    Yes. Read Hebrews 2:14-15 again. Do you understand that the blood of Christ established the new covenant? That passage indicates that it was through Christ's death that the power of death was taken away from Satan, resulting in people who formerly were kept in bondage to the fear of death being...

    Why the great chain?

    And I disagree with that, obviously. Not much more I can say that I haven't already said about this.
  7. Spiritual Israelite

    Why the great chain?

    If the pit is literal, then, to be consistent, you should believe that Satan is a literal dragon since it says the angel "laid hold on the dragon", who we knew is Satan, and you should believe that the key of the pit and the great chain are literal as well. Is that what you believe? Amils do...

    Why the great chain?

    No one was doing that. You misunderstood why I brought up that passage. It is referring to the binding of Satan because the binding of Satan relates to Satan no longer being able to keep the world in spiritual darkness the way he was able to do in Old Testament times and was no longer able to...

    Why the great chain?

    Physical death. Yes, of course. But, the reason they feared physical death is because they thought that would be the end of their existence. They had no hope of eternal life back then before Jesus brought the hope of eternal life to the world through His death and resurrection. You have a...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    You are blatantly twisting the text to fit your doctrine and you have no shame about it. It's sickening to witness. In verse 1 Paul introduces the subject of Christ's second coming when we will be gathered unto Him. In verse 2 instead of repeating the long phrase "the coming of our Lord Jesus...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    False. He will return with the souls of the dead in Christ, which is what Paul refers to in 1 Thessalonians 4:14. Immediately after the tribulation of those days, according to Jesus (Matthew 24:29-31, Mark 13:24-27). False. It will take place on the day of the Lord, which is the day that the...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Yes, that is what several of us took issue with in this thread. The belief that Satan is not a created being is one that TribulationSigns promotes every chance he gets. He claims that Satan refers to the spirit of man in general rather than to an actual evil spirit being. Agree.

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Did someone say otherwise? I am aware of your particular argument and we have discussed it. But, your buddy TribulationSigns often denies that the spirit being named Satan exists (he denies the existence of angels and spirit beings altogether) and you have liked several of his posts where he has...

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    I don't believe you. You are clearly influenced by SDA doctrine and you have blindly followed after it. Come out from SDA false doctrine and discover the truth.

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    Yes, actual scripture that you do not understand. Those are only talking about no longer being alive on the earth and say noting about what happens after someone physically dies. The following is also actual scripture showing physically dead people with consciousneess... Luke 16:19 “There was...

    Revelation 20:1-15 & the 1,000 years (aka Millennium) Bible Study

    LOL. The "heresy of amillennialism"? How do you consider amillennialism to be heresy exactly? It's a doctrine that puts a strong emphasis on the current Kingship of our great God and Savior, the King of kings and Lord of lords Jesus Christ, but somehow it is heresy? You are speaking gibberish...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Satan and his angels/demons love when people deny that they exist. It's easier for them to deceive people that way. No one who denies that they exist are going to be careful about not being deceived by their evil schemes by putting on the full armor of God. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in...
  18. Spiritual Israelite

    Why the great chain?

    No kidding, dude. What is he even thinking when making that kind of ridiculous claim? Most Premils here have very little to no understanding of Amill and make very little to no effort to understand it and that's why they misrepresent Amill constantly. If the bottomless pit was the world, then...

    Why the great chain?

    Says the guy with a huge reading comprehension problem. Look in the mirror. You were talking to Marty and you posted verses from Revelation 12 and asked him if any of it sounded like what is written in Revelation 20:1-3. I assume his response to you has to do with the fact that we don't...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    I have tried, but people tend to take scripture too literally at times. That text is literal, but not THAT literal, as if it's talking about the complete destruction and annihilation of the planet. In this case, they are. We'll have to agree to disagree about that. Of course not. Yes...
