He said at Christ's second coming that He "shall send those of the wicked, endued with eternal sensibility, into everlasting fire with the wicked devils". Wouldn't that mean he believed that Revelation 20:10-15 would be fulfilled when Christ comes again? Yet, I assume that he believed that...

Right. They turn his climactic second coming into an anticlimactic event where people still have to deal with sin and death. It's sad.

Does anything happen in this world without Jesus allowing it? Does He currently have no control over what happens in the world? Is He a powerless King? Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Revelation 1:5 and from Jesus...

We have scripture on our side, which is what matters. Also, Justin Martyr said this in relation to his Premill view in his Dialogue with Trypho: "Many who belong to the pure and pious faith, and are true Christians, think otherwise". You're trying to make it as if his view was the majority view...

Agree. Notice that the time when the restraint is removed is related to "the coming of the lawless one" which is related to "the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders". This means that "the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders" was previously restrained...

Are you being purposely dense here or is it just by accident? I have already had a lot to say on the subject and don't currently have any more to add. I'm not going to repeat the same things to you that I already said to someone else about it in this thread. Read all of my posts if you want to...

No, but it's the best you're going to get. I've already said everything I wanted to say to you. Is that hard for you to understand? You're practically begging me to talk to you. Are you lonely?

Thank you for acknowledging this. Some of your fellow premills can't even bring themselves to acknowledge what you said here. So, we have to look at other scripture besides Revelation 20 that speaks of things like the first resurrection, Christ reigning and His followers being priests in order...

It's still ongoing today because, as Zao is life showed, it's all about people being saved under the new covenant that was established by the blood of Christ. All Israel (The Israel of God/Spiritual Israel) has been getting saved for the past almost 2,000 years as people have put their faith in...

LOL. You were speaking falsehood. Not being able to differentiate between literal and symbolic text within the most highly symbolic book in the Word of God is not helpful for you. Ask God for wisdom (James 1:5-7).

You clearly need to read it more carefully because you have the wrong Israel in mind. It's the Israel of which not all of the nation of Israel is part (Romans 9:6-8) that is saved and will be saved! Read my original post in this thread to learn more: All Israel will be saved! Do you have the...

Well, you're not going to get it. You showed you clearly have no understanding of salvation, so I don't have any desire to talk about that with you. LOL. It matters because sometimes I don't feel like wasting my time talking to such a person. I have defended it thoroughly to other people. You...

There's no "however" about it. Your "however" proves that you don't really agree.

So, here we go again. I guess we should both just admit that we don't want to let this go. Scripture nowhere teaches what you said here. Why did you not address the scriptures I referenced which show that God makes man responsible to respond to His call to repent and believe? Saving faith is...

I agree. Acts 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. Joshua 24:14 Now therefore fear the Lord...

So, you have decided to be a child and make this about one of us supposedly believing the written Word of God and one of us not when the reality is we both believe it as we understand it, but we don't understand it the same way. If you ever decide to grow up and want to talk about this like an...

You're correct that the sheep represent the church, but how do you have Jesus reigning over the goats when it says they will be cast "into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels" at that time? Matthew 25:41 Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are...

LOL! I guess he doesn't have much of a history with you, after all. His discernment of your gender seems to match his discernment of scripture.

No, you are wrong. You actually think it's a literal 144,000 men who are virgins sexually? How does that make any sense? Why would God have an exclusive group that He requires to be Jewish male virgins? No Gentiles even though Christ put no difference between Jews and Gentiles (Romans 10:12...

It's hilarious to me that you are under the impression that I care what you think about this particular topic. You, someone who can't even discern the deity of Christ. Please don't waste your time talking to me about salvation. You know nothing about it. You can't even discern that when Paul...
