You were going to ask me "What is the point of them being "judged adversely during Christ’s thousand year reign" if they just end up being destroyed, anyway?". Why? That's not even what I believe. Where is that taught in scripture? Give me less of your opinions and more scripture. Without...

There sure is. It's also called "Hades" and it's a place of torment for unbelievers, according to Jesus. You do believe that Jesus knew what He was talking about, right? It's not a parable because parables don't involve real people and places like Luke 16:19-31 does. And it makes perfect sense...

Please don't ask me dumb questions. Of course I know that, but I wonder if you understand what the two resurrections you have in mind are? Probably not. Oops. You missed something very important here. Jesus's resurrection is the first resurrection. We need to accept what scripture teaches is...

No, it's not 100% false. I, of course, believe it's 100% true. Your opinion means nothing. It's unbelievable that you brush the time periods shown in between (Matthew 24:23-26, Luke 21:24b) under the rug. LOL. That is just a completely ignorant statement right there. Foolish. Was that so hard...

Hmm. They were not hard questions and it shouldn't take long to answer, but, sure, we can wait til tomorrow.

Huh? There is no indication of that whatsoever. At least, nothing to indicate that it only took place during the OT time. Matthew 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth...

It is your opinion that verses 41-44 relate directly to the parable. I see no basis for thinking that those verses a part of the context of the parable when you consider that the Pharisees not only would be physically destroyed in 70 AD but also will be brought before Jesus in the future to give...

LOL. I never said otherwise. Can you tell me the name of your straw man? But, you have Him returning after the wrong tribulation. He returns after global tribulation that Christians go through, not local tribulation in Judea that relates to God's wrath. LOL. I deny your false interpretations...

Two. Earthly Jerusalem and the new heavenly Jerusalem. Why do you ask? Can you please just get to the point? I asked you to give another example or two of prophecies that you think have a dual fulfillment. I think that's a reasonable request. So, can you do that, please? Can you point to any...

The same sound he's hearing in response to his posts 343 and 363. Don't be a hypocrite. People resort to claiming dual fulfillment whenever their original understanding of the fulfillment of the prophecy is refuted because they just can't let go of their original belief. Since you interpret...

Why would they need to flee to the mountains in this day and age? Couldn't they just get in their cars and drive away or take a flight out of there instead? What exactly do you think they will be fleeing from?

So, give another example or two of prophecies that you think have a dual fulfillment? Why can't we just claim that all prophecies that aren't clearly shown to be fulfilled once have a dual fulfillment? Can't you see that allowing for dual fulfillment makes it so that you can make scripture say...

No, it isn't and you're doing absolutely nothing to show otherwise. What do you think, that Jesus will come while they are being taken away captive to all nations before they even arrive on those other nations? Spell this out for me on what your understanding of that is and how long it takes...

Is this a serious question? How else can people have immortal bodily life on the new earth, which is what God promises for those who belong to Christ, without being bodily resurrected first? They were in hell. The are brought back to appear before the throne for judgment in order to give an...

Yes, that's correct. A restraint of his activities rather than it being a case of him being locked up in a literal place as you both believe. How interesting that you, a preterist, are agreeing with him, a futurist, about this. I told him something similar. Nope. You just have no understanding...

It's interesting that you're agreeing with a preterist about this in terms of Satan being literally locked up within a literal place whether it's physical or spiritual. But, here's what I don't understand about how either of you see this. I think you guys don't fully understand how symbolism...

Right. And we agree that Jesus died and rose again and is our Lord and Savior. You know, minor things like that. sml And we agree on things like that the all Israel that is saved and will be saved is the spiritual Israel of God as well. You are one of the few here who agrees with my...

But, the parable of the minas talks about rewards being given when the King returns. You say He returned in 70 AD, right? What rewards did He give out in 70 AD?

This made me curious. How do you interpret Isaiah 65:17-25 and especially verse 20 in particular?

I believe that doctrine should be primarily based on clear, straightforward scripture. At least, what we think is clear and straightforward. That should be the foundation of our doctrines, in my opinion. We can then use that foundation to help interpret more difficult passages of scripture. So...
