Premils like to accuse us Amils of spiritualizing scripture when it should be taken literally instead. But, if you take scriptures like this literally, then you have to conclude that "the heavens and earth which are now" will be burned up with fire when Jesus fulfills the promise of His second...

Why should we try to show you something according to YOUR understanding of things instead of according to how we understand it? Why in the world would we try to show you a verse that shows Satan as being completely inactive throughout the earth while being bound in the pit when that is not even...

Why are you not addressing anything I said specifically? The NT authors were speaking from God's eternal perspective. Christ's coming was always near from God's perspective. How can you think that Peter was saying that the end of all things was literally at hand from the human perspective when...

Is that not what you did when you suggested he might be among the foolish virgins who are not Christians and will have Jesus tell them He doesn't know them?

Speaking falsely about the nature of His kingdom may backfire on you. His kingdom is not of this world (not worldly, but heavenly in nature - John 18:36), did not come with observation (Luke 17:20) and "is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans...

Dispensationalists can never answer this question. They either don't understand or just plain ignore that their understanding of the 70 weeks blatantly contradicts the fact that the 70 weeks were determined. That means a 70 week time period, which most of us agree represents 490 years, was...

Co-sign.

How does your literal understanding of Revelation 20 line up with these scriptures: 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 works...

No, they do not. Dispensationalists have almost no understanding of the New Testament whatsoever. At least, when it come to anything end times related.

Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. 18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and...

What is wrong with you? Do you understand that the 5 foolish virgins represent people to whom Jesus will say that He doesn't know them and who will be cast into the fire? Why would you suggest that anyone here are like them? When did you decide that you are the Judge instead of Jesus?

Did you somehow forget that you had said "Peter was describing the nation Israel as it had been called to be--not necessarily as it currently was."? Can you not make up your mind?

This is shameful. It does NOT say "you are called to be a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people" in 1 Peter 2:9, it says "you ARE a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people". Why are you twisting God's holy word to make it say...

So, you just ignore that Jesus said all people are either with Him or against Him when He said "he who is not with me is against me"? Is there any scripture you won't twist to make it say what you want it to say? In terms of salvation, Jesus made it very clear that there are two groups, not...

Whose timing did Peter indicate is what matters in relation to how long it is taking for Jesus to fulfill the promise of His second coming, ours or the Lord's? 2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as...

Those verses speak of global events and not just events happening in Judea or in Jerusalem. What global event happened around 70 AD that fulfilled those verses? Would you agree that "the end of all things" that Peter referenced as being near in 1 Peter 4:7 is described by Peter in 2 Peter...

It's not just a coincidence that His transfiguration is described right after He said some standing there would not taste death until the Son of Man coming in His kingdom or would see the kingdom of God. He gave Peter, James and John a preview or foretaste of His coming and the coming of the...

It's a bit silly if you try to claim that Jesus has already come when He clearly has not. As for Matthew 16:28, that has to do with Jesus's transfiguration, so that's an example of how you are taking scripture out of context.

The last days continue as God pours out His Spirit on people, as long as people are calling on the name of the Lord and being saved and will continue until the day that Jesus comes again in the future and burns up and renews the heavens and the earth to usher in the new heavens and the new earth...

What in the world are you intending to say here? Why are you misrepresenting what he said by saying something ridiculous? Jesus being the firstfruits means that He was the first to be resurrected from the dead unto bodily immortality. The first resurrection: Acts 26:23 that the Christ would...
