    If you can't accept the eye witness of Thomas, is anyone else's any better?

    IOWs, to God, 24 hours is as 1000 years, and 1000 years is as 24 hours. What exactly is the Holy Spirit saying about "time" from God's perspective? . So then, according to 2 Peter 3:8, will the popular belief of a Millennium be for a literal thousand years, or will it be for a literal 24 hours?

    OK, I and most here agree with that, but how is the latter part interpreted as literal, according to how WE account time? 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 [is] as one day.

    As I said: Thomas knows! Therefore do we also!! John 20[25] The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will...

    Yes, the entirety of planet earth will be engulfed in flames (the lake of fire), by the presence of Jesus, being Himself the eternal, all consuming, unquenchable fire. Mat. 3:12; Heb. 12:29 . 2 Peter 3[10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    On the contrary, Jesus said this: John 14[23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. John 16[13] Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all...

    Mystery Babylon-Understanding the imagery

    "Good bye"?? As in you will never reply to my posts again? Did I offend you, or was it the Lord's Truth that did? However, if that's how you feel, then Okay, it's your loss. BTW, since you are an avid reader of the Bible, that doesn't make you, myself or anyone "all knowing" about God's words...

    Jesus, after His Resurrection, showed Himself clearly of what His New body of immortality looked like. The "nail prints" in His hands, and His wounded side were not oozing from any type of healing process, but were completely healed already. Thomas knows!!

    Read again the verses I listed. "Chains of darkness". Iows, satan knows nothing of what God is doing. He does not have the Light of Christ, being that of God's knowledge. When a person is given the " key(s)" to the kingdom, they are given free access to all of what that kingdom entails. Jesus...

    If I may interject, the complete verse of 2 Peter 3:8 must stated in its whole, if one is to understand what God means about time. We told to not be ignorant of it. [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...

    The "bottomless pit" is not an "abyss" !! It's simply this earth, being Satan's only home and the grave of endless death. "Pit" means the grave. . Now, let's look at the whole picture. 2 Peter [4] For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell [the grave/pit], and...

    Apparently, you have missed the subtle, deceptive benevolence of satan/lucifer. In Mat. 16 [20] Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. [21] From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and...

    Thank you for noticing my error in simple math. It just goes to show how flawed we can be with the simplest of things. In my mind and posts, I was estimating back 200 years, therefore in doing the math, I didn't change gears for the mechanics of it. Yes, as you so aptly pointed out, the time of...

    Correction: that is equal to 100 generations.

    223 years ÷ 60 years equals approx. 3.72 generations. If the world of man has existed for 6000 years, that is equal to

    Now, you all tell me that satan has not been loosed! Take a look at these two films of New York city. Now make the comparison of all that you see, to today, being only 223 years later. New York film-1896-1901: New York film-1896-1901 - YouTube . New York film-1911: New York film-1911 - YouTube

    Jesus explained why He was going to bind satan. Jesus was going to spoil satan's goods and his house. The "goods" are everyone who is unsaved, and are a child of the devil. So how did/does Jesus spoil satan's people? Ans. He calls them to repent towards God and to believe on His Name, so that...

    You are not thinking about what I am saying. Your head is too full of preconceived, religious ideas and doctrines. Satan was bound in the "bottomless pit" when Jesus died on the Cross and His Resurrection. "Pit" means the grave, and "bottomless" is self explanatory, as in endless. Everyone who...

    Satan was loosed 200 years ago. From the invention of the light bulb to present. You can't put it together, of how fast the inventions have come, since there was nothing for 6000 years prior? Satan was bound at the Cross of Jesus. He said so!
