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

    You are just making things up and I'm not interested in that. You didn't address my question about your claim that amillennialism is heresy. That's ridiculous. How do you define the word "heresy"? I would only call false teaching like denying the deity of Christ or claiming that works are...

    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 say this, but you have no scriptural evidence to back it up. Your claims are meaningless without scriptural support for them. Scripture indicates that the day of the Lord is a 24 hour day during which Jesus returns and things happen quickly. It involves "sudden destruction" (1 Thess 5:2-3)...

    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, there is. There has to be because He is only coming from heaven once in the future. He will come once from heaven in the future in the same manner He ascended there (Acts 1:9-11). The various passages that reference His second coming all contain various levels of detail in relation to that...

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

    What's the difference between Satan and demons? Are you being serious? Do you not think that Satan is one individual spirit being with there also being other separate individual spirit beings called demons?

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

    Nope. Paul referred to the human body, soul and spirit as the parts of the whole human in 1 Thessalonians 5:23. It's very clear. You are blatantly changing the text. Let's look at it objectively (can you do that?). 1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray...

    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.

    It doesn't say that any of them for certain would be troubled by such rumors. Whether any of them would be troubled or not depends on each individual's understanding of what Paul taught about the day of the Lord. Paul was just warning them not to be troubled if anyone claimed that the day of the...

    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.

    Right. Return where? We will meet Him in the air and it does not say that we then go to heaven as people like you believe nor does it say we will then go to the earth (as we know it) as post-trib premils believe. Scripture indicates that the judgment will occur when Jesus comes (Matthew...

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

    I'm talking about the spirit that each human being has. Each person has a body, a soul and a spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:23). I didn't say he has physical form! Good grief. But, he is able to travel around in some way or else scripture would not say that he goes around like a roaring lion seeking...

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

    So, you are going to claim that a human being can be referred to as an anointed cherub created perfect in all his ways on God's holy mountain? You are comfortable taking that position? You shouldn't be. No human being would be described that way. Because I read it more carefully than you is the...

    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, exactly. And that is the day of Christ's second coming when we will be gathered to Him that Paul referenced in verse 1. He didn't change the subject from verse 1 to verse 2. 2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering...

    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.

    Right, you didn't. I did. Why would they not be included? That's nonsense. They are with Him in heaven but not part of His bride? That's crazy talk. It's not as if they can't be referred to as part of His bride who has made herself ready until their bodies are changed. They are with Christ in...

    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.

    That is not at all what that passage says. Paul equates the rapture (our being gathered to Him at His second coming) with the day of the Lord in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2, so it makes no sense to say that the resurection/rapture will take place before the day of the Lord begins. No, the...

    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.

    Nowhere, of course. Paul was very clear that the falling away and revealing of the man of sin will occur first before the rapture (the coming of Christ when we are gathered to Him). This is just a case of someone blatantly twisting the text to fit their doctrine.

    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.

    David Taylor! How are you doing? Nice to see you here. Please post more often if you get the chance. Yes, you are absolutely right. I did reference that passage once in my original post when I said "As Paul said, we (believers) are not appointed to God's wrath, so both Paul and Peter...

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

    Nonsense! Why are you doing this? He does deny the existence of spirit beings who have existence apart from human beings. He says that Satan and demons refers to the evil spirit within man and not to separate spirit beings who possess the spirit of people. You know that human beings have a...

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

    You are being as clear as mud here, so let me ask you a few clarifying questions. Are you saying that you don't believe that Satan exists as a separate evil spirit being who can roam around the earth seeking who he may devour? You are saying you think he is always inhabiting (possessing) a human...

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

    The King of Tyre was heavily influenced by Satan, so that is why it describes Satan who the king of Tyre emulated with his evil behavior. It says the anointed cherub was created perfect in his ways, full of wisdom and full of beauty. That does not describe any human. Since Adam and Eve, all...

    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.

    No kidding. No one said otherwise. Why do you say things like this as if anyone said otherwise? Since you don't believe in soul sleep then do you understand that the souls of the dead in Christ are part of the bride of Christ?

    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 don't think "them also which sleep in Jesus" are His bride? Yes, of course. Of course. What is your point in mentioning these obvious things?

    Why the great chain?

    I agree and I believe that relates to his binding. This is a very vague answer. What is it that you think he was bound from fulfilling that was prophesied that he could fulfill and when do you think he was bound? And why was it delayed?
