How does that line up with this: Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: This verse doesn't indicate that any second chances are given after death. It indicates that people's fates are sealed upon death and they will eventually be either rewarded...

And then you lost me again. But, that's fine. It is what it is. Well, I'm trying to change in that respect. It's not laughable, it's just not what I believe. I respect that you have studied the scriptures and these are the conclusions you've come to and that means I can't say you just believe...

I disagree with directly relating "the rest of the dead" with the rest who "were slain". The context is different between the two. The rest of the dead are contrasted with the dead who have part in the first resurrection. So, the dead who belong to Christ have part in the first resurrection and...

Nope. The goats represent those whose names are not written in the book of life and they are cast into the lake of fire after "the devil and his hordes" are, according to Revelation 20:10-15. You are trying to equate Rev 20:15 with Rev 20:7-9? That's utter nonsense. Revelation 20:15 clearly...

LOL. Closed to each other on this particular topic, anyway. Not other topics. I assume. LOL.

I didn't say that he will be. Where are you getting that from what I said? I think we may need to follow Zao is life's lead here and realize that when we try to talk about Satan's binding we just talk past each other. You clearly do not understand what I believe, so there's no point in trying to...

Thanks for sharing your view. It seems impossible for us to have a good discussion about this because, like you said, we'll just keep talking past each other since we don't even fully understand what the other believes. That's fine. There's just not likely anything we can do about that.

Yep. Oh well. So be it. It is what it is. We just don't think alike in some ways, so we can't understand each other. Not much we can do about it. That's your understanding, not mine. You seem to see it similar to other Premills in that it refers to Satan being completely incapacitated and...

Right. That passage is clearly in reference to His ascension to the right hand of the Father in heaven. If you compare it to Ephesians 1:19-23 that becomes very obvious. What? You are trying to say that His return referenced in that parable already happened before His ascension? No. That is...

You interpret it literally just like Premills do. Amills do not interpret it that way. I showed you how I interpret his binding. Not sure what else I can do. What do you mean "his minions"? His angels? Of course he has help to do what he does and doesn't just do it all himself. No idea what...

Wow, so dramatic. Did you miss this part of his post: Where did he say this wasn't in relation to Paul's "spiritually blinded brethren Jews"? You should not call people liars just because you struggle to comprehend what you read.

Then you haven't seen the insulting comments that he's made. I have. Yeah, he's not the only one who thinks every current event is fulfilling a Bible prophecy.

LOL. You did not say that before. Your other comment was more vague than this one. How do you figure that new covenant wasn't in effect immediately upon Jesus shedding His blood? He shed His blood of the new covenant for the forgiveness of sins, right (Matt 26:28)? Couldn't people have their...

Tell me how you are defining the word "fulfilled" exactly? These discussion are pointless if we are not defining terms the same way. In terms of establishing the new covenant so that it was in effect, that was fulfilled by Christ when He shed His blood of the new covenant. But, someone is not...

You don't understand what that means. All believers are under the new covenant because there is no other way for anyone to have their sins forgiven except by the blood of the new covenant that Christ shed long ago. All of us under the new covenant know the Lord. Say what? How else can someone's...

It won't stop me. I already know that. I have done this for many years, too. I agree.

Agree. There's not one second coming passage, there's more than one second coming passage which shows that. 1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh...

He reigns from both heaven and earth as He has all authority in heaven and in earth (Matt 28:18). It's not as if He is not able to affect anything on earth from heaven. While He is bodily in heaven, He spiritually dwells in His people and is certainly able to affect things on earth any way He...

LOL. I doubt that, but you never know! Plenty of Amils used to be Premils. But, she has her own understanding of things (assuming she still has the same beliefs). She has believers reigning with Christ both in heaven and on earth now and also after the thousand years. Her beliefs are fairly...

You sure come across that way when you complain about it so often. It clearly bothers you. Do you not come across that way yourself when you frequently refer to things that you believe as being "undeniable" or "undeniably true"? Did you not see my post where I told you that I've changed my view...
