You are butchering the text just because of doctrinal bias. Just like pre-tribs do repeatedly. Do you want to be like them? If the light already existed He would not say "Let there be light" with that being followed by the statement "and then there was light". It would not say "and then there...

Are you even reading what I'm saying carefully at all? You're not addressing what I said. Why do you try to relate 2 Peter 2:4 to the ungodly of Noah's day when they are not referenced in verse 4, but rather in verse 5? As I've told you several times now, Peter refers to three different groups...

I understand that the thousand years has a beginning and an end and don't deny that. But, do you believe that Christ no longer reigns after the thousand years and that no one reigns with Him any longer after that? Scripture teaches that He will reign forever (Isaiah 9:6-7). Are you trying to...

To deny what is recorded in Matthew 27:52-53 happened at all is foolishness. There is no indication whatsoever that it should not be taken literally as a real event that happened. But, what you don't understand is that they, like Lazarus and a few others who had previously been resurrected, died...

So, how about you stop getting the timing of the thousand years wrong and start accepting the truth. Scripture is very clear that Jesus began to reign long ago after His resurrection (Matthew 28:18, Ephesians 1:19-23). That should be the starting point for understanding what Revelation 20 is...

@rwb Why did you love this post that TS made? He is claiming that Satan is "the spirit of man". Do you now agree with that? You have said before that you believe that Satan is a literal, evil spirit being. Have you changed your mind?

@rwb Why did you love TS's post? I quoted part of it above. Do you just automatically like or love all of TS's posts regardless of whether you agree with what he says in them or not? You have said that you believe that Satan is a real, literal evil spirit being. Is that correct? TS does not...

You continue to cherry pick scripture like I would expect a pre-trib to do. It's not possible that Satan was evil from creation! You are blatantly contradicting this verse... Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning...

When someone denies that the account of the man being possessed by many demons (evil spirits) actually occurred, as TS does, then you know he is liable to believe almost anything. There is no indication given whatsoever that the account of a man having many demons in him with Jesus casting them...

The text calls New Jerusalem itself the bride. It does not say it is the city that the bride dwells in. But, far be it from you to ever recognize symbolism. That requires spiritual discernment, which you know nothing about.

You are twisting the text again. It does NOT say that the serpent is more cunning and crafty in a bad way than every other beast in the field. It says the serpent is more subtle than every other beast in the field. There is nothing bad about being subtle in and of itself. A literal serpent is...

I am doing no such thing. I am not surprised by it at all. What in the world are you talking about? Your false accusations do nothing to help your case. It does not prove that. That statement tells what is true right now about angels and says nothing one way or another about whether or not...

LOL. Now you say this after telling me repeatedly that they are metaphorical? Did you change your mind? In Genesis 1, the references to the light and the darkness are just literal light and darkness and do not symbolize anything. Other scriptures do refer to spiritual light and darkness, but...

He said "Let there be light" and then there was light, so that very strongly implies that He created the light. I think you are making something very simple into something complicated for no good reason. If you start thinking that Genesis 1 is referring to metaphors then you can end up like...

This seems hopeless. You're not understanding my point. I did not say they do not all receive the same fate. I'm saying that the angels who sinned referenced in 2 Peter 2:4 are not the same as the ungodly of Noah's day referenced in verse 5 and a third group is mentioned in verse 6 (the ungodly...

He didn't say that the word thousand is never used literally in scripture, so you once again have wasted your time with an unnecessary post.

Yes, absolutely! That is why I'm an Amil. My Amil belief is based on the following clear, plain scriptures... Revelation 20 talks about the reign of Christ. Scripture explicitly teaches that Christ began to reign after His resurrection. Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying...

I agree! That's why I'm an Amil. Plain scripture teaches that Jesus will be burning up the heavens and the earth when He comes as a thief in the night (2 Peter 3:10-13), so I interpret more difficult passages like Zechariah 14, Ezekiel 38-39 and Revelation 20 accordingly.

This is total gibberish. You do NOT interpret passages like the following by "what it says". 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the...

It's one thing to just quote scripture, but another thing altogether to interpret it accurately. You are showing what the Bible says when you quote verses, but you are NOT showing us what the Bible MEANS. You are very carnal in your thinking and you read the Bible no differently than you would...
