His kingdom exists spiritually now, as scripture makes abundantly clear. Tell me, is He your King right now? But, at His future second coming Jesus will hand the kingdom over to the Father and then the Father will reign over the kingdom for eternity in the new heavens and new earth with even...

To those with spiritual discernment, the text speaks for itself and is very straightforward. There was a prophecy David made about God RAISING UP Christ to sit on David's throne and in that prophecy he spoke of God RAISING UP Christ from the dead. That is what Peter plainly said. But, those...

What evidence do you have to indicate that God was behind what happened in 1948? In past times when God brought Israel back, such as from their captivity in Babylon, it was after they had repented and were ready to be together as God's people again. What evidence is there that something similar...

You fail at understanding scripture. You fail at accepting what Peter taught in Acts 2:29-36. You fail at heeding what Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 2:9-16 and you interpret scripture like the natural man instead of relying on the Holy Spirit for understanding. We can only speak to you like the...

Peter said that David prophesied that God told him that He will RAISE UP Christ to sit on his (David's) throne and said he was prophesying about Jesus being RAISED UP from the dead.

Where did I make that contention? That has nothing to do with what I was saying whatsoever. Trying to explain spiritual things to someone as carnal as you is a futile endeavor.

I see that YOU haven't studied the passage. Tell me, what other entity but the church is a spiritual house with Jesus as its cornerstone? 1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus...

I wanted to be sure of what you believe before making my point so that I didn't waste time making a straw man argument. I'm sure you can appreciate that? You don't have to explain things like this to me. You're not talking to someone who just became a Christian yesterday. All these words and...

There can't be, of course. But, Premills won't acknowledge that. They have to make up things found nowhere in scripture to keep their false doctrine afloat.

Says the guy who has no idea how to debate and has never made a coherent argument even once in his life.

He's trying to mock me for my interpretation of the passage while he is including unbelievers as being made alive in Christ. Unbelievable.

The text is figurative. It's not talking about literal armies gathering in a literal place. It's figuratively referring to all who are against Christ, which is all who are not with Him (Matt 12:30) being destroyed when He comes. Revelation 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried...

You know that's what I'm saying, right? I referred to it as Spiritual Israel, but it's also called "the Israel of God" (Galatians 6:16).

Is that according to your flawed translation again? You really need to throw that translation in the trash. Every other English translation has the word covenant in this verse. Daniel 9 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the...

No, it's rather obvious that it has been made. The new covenant is all about Jesus providing salvation and the forgiveness of sins for those who believe in Him. Our part of it is to put our faith in His blood that He shed to establish the new covenant. Nonsense! The only sacrifice for...

It means to be resurrected from the dead. Wrong. This is an obvious case of trying to make scripture say what you want it to say. Living believers will NOT be resurrected when the Lord comes because only the dead are resurrected. Those who are bodily dead will be bodily resurrected. Those who...

Where is the evidence to back up what you're saying? Why was the book addressed to churches consisting of Jew and Gentile believers in the ancient Roman province of Asia if the book centers on Israel? Why wasn't it addressed to Israel instead if that was the case?

No, it absolutely does not. Christ has been reigning since His resurrection (Matt 28:18, Eph 1:19-22). Nowhere does Paul say otherwise. So, is your answer to my question that you believe the end of the age comes 1,000+ years after Christ's return? If so, is it your understanding that in the...

I agree. Premills refuse to look at scripture honestly and objectively. That text is very explicit and straightforward. Only doctrinal bias can prevent someone from seeing what Peter was saying there.

It doesn't refer to their bodies coming to life, it refers to their souls living and reigning with Christ because they had part in His resurrection. You're right that the first resurrection is physical because it is Christ's resurrection. The first resurrection: Acts 26:23 That Christ should...
