Exactly. Peter said the new earth will be where righteousness dwells (2 Peter 3:13). That implies that only righteousness will dwell there. It would have been pointless for him to say that righteousness will dwell there if wickedness also was to dwell there.

You are making scripture say what you want it to say. The new heavens and new earth clearly are ushered in AFTER the thousand years (and Satan's little season), according to John in Revelation 20-21, and not before as you are trying to claim.

Yes, it's talking about the deep things of God (1 Cor 2:10) which are a mystery to the natural man because you need spiritual discernment from the Holy Spirit to understand it. Looks like you haven't read my post #94 yet where I responded to that post. LOL. I can't deal with this anymore. It's...

What do you mean before Rev. 20 and 21 or after? Rev. 20 and 21 are not referring to the same thing, so that question makes no sense. It occurs when Rev 20:9 occurs which is before Rev 21. Did you not say that you believe Revelation 21 is referring to something that occurs after the thousand...

It isn't that anyone thinks any premill believes every single verse should be taken literally. That isn't the issue. Obviously. The issue is that many premills assume a verse is literal before they even read it or study it. That is not a good approach to interpreting scripture. Agree?

Yes, but, for some reason, you don't understand that the literal/historical/grammatical method of interpretation itself does not line up with what you're saying here. It seems that you don't understand what using that method of interpretation entails because using it means you will assume...

No, but it usually is. Or, at least should be. No. What I've been saying all along is that you assume going in that every word is literal before you read it, so you have a tendency to interpret things literally except for when they very obviously are not. So, you sometimes miss when the text is...

Exactly. Jesus will never be a dictator as premils falsely imagine. Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him...

Jesus ruling with a rod of iron represents Him destroying His enemies, not ruling over them as you imagine. Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and...

Most premils also believe that this age ends at the coming of the Lord, so that's not just an amil teaching. The premils who believe this age ends at the coming of the Lord believe the thousand years is the age to come that Jesus talked about (Luke 20:34-36). But amils (except for some partial...

How does your method of interpretation help you do that when you have a biased approach that assumes going in that any given verse is literal? Don't blame me if you're not being clear. Try being more clear. Your approach to interpreting scripture suggests that it should be easy. Not any...

Please read my post #73 where I already explained that. Also, my answer can at least partly be found in what I said that you responded to. I said "We should not assume anything one way or another about any given verse or passage.". That means we should not assume it's literal, figurative, poetic...

ROFL!!!! Are you so naive that you think I can't say something similar about your view? In order to make Revelation 21:4 fit into the Premil doctrine you have to resort to saying that Revelation 21:1-4 occurs after the thousand years while Isaiah 65:17-25 happens during the thousand years...

I didn't say it's the whole story, but it's not easy to get Premils to even acknowledge that part of the story since they tend to focus only on earthly things rather than on spiritual and heavenly things. When I see any description of Jesus reigning I immediately think of the kingdom He reigns...

I think some don't understand that. Some only talk about the kingdom in a future sense. They are carnal and have difficulty understanding spiritual things. Nonsense! First, you acknowledge that it's a Spiritual Kingdom and then you say this. No, it's not of this world because this world and its...

That method of interpretation leads one to assume that everything is literal unless the text slaps you in the face and says otherwise. We should not assume anything one way or another about any given verse or passage. And you prove what I had just said here by acting as if the type of text...

No, I don't do that. You disregard what Revelation 21:4 says. I recognize that it makes no sense to conclude that Isaiah 65:20 is talking about people literally dying on the new earth (a 100 year old child?) and Isaiah was describing eternity in a figurative way that his readers, who had no real...

LOL is right. What a ridiculous accusation. You can't be serious. I do NOT interpret the rest of scripture based on how I interpret Revelation 20. That is ridiculous. I'm constantly showing how I understand Revelation 20 based on what scripture teaches as a whole. Are you purposely trying to...

Really? Is the new heavens and new earth referenced in Isaiah 65:17-25 a different new heavens and new earth referenced in Revelation 21:1-4. No. Yet, you make it that way by saying that there will be death on the new earth described in Isaiah 65:17-25 while Revelation 21:4 clearly says there...

When Jesus returns. Peter said that according to the promise of His coming we will look forward to inheriting the new heavens and the new earth. 2 Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of...
