Congratulations on misrepresenting my view. Maybe your strawman that exists in your imagination will make the post that you were looking forward to.

And then what is described in Revelation 20:7-9 happens to ruin it all. Your view turns Christ's efforts during a supposed future thousand year reign into a complete failure that Satan is able to ruin during a short period of time.

No, you need to study them and ask God to show you what they mean (James 1:5-7). It's clear to me that you've never done that. Is 2nd Peter 3 not scripture? Is Revelation 21 not scripture? Jesus also taught that the heavens and the earth will pass away when He comes again (Matthew 24:35-39). Is...

You are being very foolish. I said nothing about three layers of heaven. I mentioned the three separate heavens. I showed you 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 where Paul wrote about the third heaven/paradise (I'm sure Jesus is aware of it) and you proceeded to butcher the verse beyond recognition. Is there...

Yes, it will bring about that promise, but that's not what I had in mind. Peter was referring to "His promise" that he had previously referenced. 2 Peter 3:3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise...

Hello? You're not reading my words carefully at all. I never said that heaven is full of wickedness. Good grief. I talked about the three heavens. I do not believe that the third heaven where Jesus, the angels and the souls of the dead in Christ dwell is full of wickedness. Why would I think...

That has nothing to do with the new heavens and new earth. There is the first heavens and earth that exist now and were created by God thousands of years ago and then there will be the new heavens and new earth. That's it. Your three new heavens and three new earths theory is not taught in...

What promise do you think that verse is talking about?

You don't read very carefully. I have said more than once that I don't see it as the annihilation of the heavens and the earth, but rather the renewal of the heavens and the earth in the form of the new heavens and new earth where only righteousness can dwell and where death, sorrow, crying and...

Scripture talks about new heavens (plural) and a new earth. There are three heavens. The heaven where Jesus, the angels and the souls of believers are is the third heaven (2 Corinthians 12:2-4), which is also called paradise. I'm not so sure that the references to the new heavens and new earth...

You sure go to great lengths to deny what 1 Thessalonians 5:23 clearly indicates, which is that human beings are made up of a body, a soul and a spirit. It'd be much better if you just accepted what 1 Thessalonians 5:23 indicates and adjust your doctrine accordingly instead of trying to twist...

You are in complete darkness on this subject. There is no symbolic language in 2 Peter 3. Your lack of discernment causes you to not be able to differentiate between literal and symbolic text.

So? It's talking about no more death anywhere, including earth. That will be the case after Jesus returns to take vengeance on all unbelievers while believers will all be changed to put on bodily immortality at that point. No one will die after that. No, I've looked at this subject in great...

Because I'm tired of responding to your posts since I disagree with everything you're saying. We should just agree to disagree at this point, but you don't seem to have any interest in that.

If you think I'm going to be convinced by your weak arguments, you need to think again. Just stop. You can't possibly change my mind with your unconvincing arguments. You should have just agreed to disagree as I was trying to do with you before, but you insist on continuing to make these boring...

Oh boy, here we go. The former things are referenced in verse 4, not verse 1. Revelation 21:1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of...

It is the literal earth in view. The future fiery destruction of the earth is compared directly to the global flood in 2 Peter 3:6-7 because both are literal, physical, global events.

Yeah, it says "great distress" instead of "great tribulation" in Luke 21, but it's the same thing.

He identified it as wrath, also. Luke 21:20 “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. 22...

It obviously confuses you because you are turning the word "after" into "immediately after" even though the text does NOT indicate how long after the 69th week ends that the Messiah would be cut off. It is just your ASSUMPTION that He was cut off immediately after the 69th week ends. Jesus was...
