Was John mistaken when he wrote this: Revelation 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve...

Wow. What in the world is this judgmental nonsense? Show me where scripture teaches that any believer, regardless of their eschatological beliefs, would ever suffer God's wrath?

The thousand years is actually referenced six times, but the number of times it is referenced is irrelevant when it comes to determing if it's a literal one thousand years or not. The beast is referenced over 30 times in the book. Does that make it a literal beast? Of course not. So, this kind...

I know there are KJV-only people, but you're the first YLT-only person I've seen. You're acting as if the Bible was originally written in English as shown in the YLT instead of originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.

It doesn't specify exactly, but if you read Luke 16:19-31 Jesus gave the sense of mental and/or spiritual torment when He described a man in hell. Sorrow and regret.

No, it was not. That is a lie from the pit of hell. Satan would like nothing better than for people to believe that they will eventually be saved no matter what they do. That gives them a license to sin and rebel against God all they want. What a terrible doctrine. You are so terribly deceived...

So, you agree that John 3:16 says that those who believe will receive eternal life. Keep reading from there and you should see that those who do not believe will not receive eternal life and instead are condemned. Why would God only punish those who have rejected Him for a limited amount of...

Are you trying to tell me what I believe? That seems to be a common theme on this forum. Let me tell you what I believe instead. I don't believe that God tortures unbelievers for eternity. I believe that they will be separated from His presence for eternity and they will be in torment in the...

So, what does "age-during" mean in your mind? We know the righteous will inherit eternal life, so why would it mean anything but that?

Right. Is that not what John 3:16 is saying?

That is not what scripture teaches at all. You are deceived. Pray for wisdom (James 1:5-7).

What in the world is your point here? Are you trying to say that those who believe in Jesus won't have eternal life?

Do you not know? Saved from being condemned to the lake of fire (the second death) for eternity, of course.

Yes, it does, but you are not understanding what it says. You are taking everything hyper-literally while using ZERO spiritual discernment to see what is actually being said. John 3:16-18 indicates that only those who believe will have eternal life while those who don't are condemned. Does that...

Not in the sense that you are thinking of, but scripture never claims that He is the Savior of the world in that sense. What scripture teaches is that He is the only One who can save the people of the world (John 14:6, Acts 4:12), but it also teaches that the only ones who are actually saved are...

Where is this taught in scripture?

You are sadly mistaken. What that verse means is that God is the only One who can save people. But, the ones who actually are saved are "those who believe". NOWHERE in scripture does it teach that all people will be saved. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son...

Yes, and that is portrayed in Matthew 25:31-46. Don't be fooled by false doctrines that teach multiple future judgment events. God has appointed ONE judgment day when He will judge all people. Acts 17:30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to...

Matthew 25:41 is the same event as Revelation 20:15. When does it indicate that Matthew 25:31-46 will occur? When Jesus comes again with His angels, right? And when does Revelation 20:11-15 occur? After the thousand years (and Satan's little season). So, what does this mean? That Jesus will...

Why does it have to be individuals? The two witnesses are symbolically represented as two candlesticks and two olive trees. Elsewhere in the book of Revelation candlesticks represent churches. So, why do they represent individuals here? In Romans 11 olive trees represent people groups with the...
