Because they did not yet understand the nature of the kingdom. It's a kingdom that did not come with observation (Luke 17:20), is not of this world (John 18:36) and "is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit" (Romans 14:17). Jesus is the ruler of the...

Christ is not the whole tree. He is the root. The tree also has branches that represent individual believers. There are already Israelite believers grafted into the tree and some have been grafted in for the past almost 2,000 years, so why do you act as if that is a future thing? Being grafted...

That's right. I am not willing to receive any promotion of the false doctrine of premillennialism.

His instructions were not for the disciples to flee when they saw Jerusalem surrounded by armies, but rather for "those in Judea" to flee when they saw Jerusalem surrounded by armies. You are not reading the passage in context. Whether any of the disciples were living in Jerusalem at the time is...

No, it does not. It speaks of souls that John saw living and reigning with Christ. He is in heaven and the souls of the dead in Christ are there with Him. Scripture teaches that Christ's resurrection is the first resurrection, so having part in the first resurrection is to have part in His...

There is a great deal of clear scripture that supports Amillennialism. You can see some of them that I listed in this post in another thread: Unlike Amillennialism, Premillennialism is based on assumptions and speculation rather than on any clear, straightforward scriptures Obviously. Of...

His second coming is not a local event. You are so blinded by preterism. 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will...

You have nothing to refute the truth, so your words here are empty and meaningless.

Premillennialists claim that Jesus will begin to reign after He returns, but scripture teaches that He has been reigning over all things in heaven and earth since His resurrection. Matthew 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for...

Do you not believe in interpreting scripture with scripture? Many scriptures clearly support amillennialism, so why do you not take that into account when interpreting Revelation 20? Everything you're saying is based on the assumption that the beast is only some future entity, yet Revelation 17...

It's a departure from the faith that Paul said had to happen first before the rapture. That's what the world "apostasia" means. A departure or falling away from faith. Not the departure of the church. A mass departure from the faith fits the context of what Paul wrote about in 2 Thesslonians 2...

So, you don't think the gospel had spread throughout Judea before 70 AD? It most certainly did. And, I'm sure the message the Jesus taught about the need to flee when they saw the abomination of desolation and say Jerusalem surrounded by armies had spread throughout Judea before 70 AD as well...

You apparently didn't read the passage Jeff showed you very carefully. John 10:14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have which are not of this...

How do you interpret this passage... Romans 9:6 It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. 7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.” 8...

To be part of the "Israel in Christ Jesus" one must have faith in Christ Jesus, right? That is contrasted with the nation of Israel that only requires being a physical descendant of Israel. Do you not think that those who have faith in Christ Jesus are the elect? Why do you have an issue with...

The reason she doesn't engage with any of those points is that she is completely unprepared to address any challenges to her beliefs, which clearly shows that she has been brainwashed by dispensationalist teaching.

Total nonsense. The new testament and new covenant are the same. Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no...

He writes too much? Are you kidding? When you read the Bible do you just read one or two verses at a time? You ignored everything he said and your excuse is that he wrote too much, which he did not. He explained how the scriptures should be understood. The scriptures clearly teach about a...

It's the truth. You have never made a coherent argument to back up your claims even once in your life. That is a fact. Judge not or you will be judged with the same measure that you are judging me. Don't put yourself in danger of hell fire by acting as if you are my Judge. You most certainly...

Why wouldn't He have told them that? What Jesus said in the Olivet Discourse was not just for the benefit of the disciples, but for anyone who would read His words. Why are you acting as if what Jesus said in the Olivet Discourse was only meant to apply to the disciples? Any Christians who were...
