So, you don't see any need to back up things that you say. I see. Okay, I will. And I do.

So, when scripture says that the meek shall inherit the earth, you think they will only inherit the earth temporarily? That doesn't seem like anything great to look forward to if that's the case. What in the world does this mean? I agree. I'm glad I'm not doing that. Real things are sometimes...

Are you incapable of giving a straight answer? I asked "So, you believe "the rest of the dead" includes believers?". Yes or no? Then I said "Clearly, the ones who Jesus said will "rise to live" in John 5:28-29 are believers.". Do you agree with that? Have you never read 2 Peter 3:3-13? That...

What are you talking about? It describes real destruction in a symbolic way. Is that somehow a problem for you? You want to believe in a literal sword coming out of Christ's mouth, which is completely ludicrous? I do not claim that it's all just symbolic and not portraying anything real. It's...

You are not clear. How many different resurrection events do you believe in then? It seemed like you were saying you believe in 3.

He was not talking about separate resurrection events there, he was talking about people trying to obtain the best rewards that they can after being resurrected. Which is? Please back up your words with scripture so that I don't have to guess as to what you're intending to say.

I don't think Paul would agree with you on this. 1 Corinthians 2:10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the...

Where do you get this from? Please show me the scripture which teaches this. How do you interpret this passage: John 5:28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and...

Only figuratively? What does that mean? We are His priests spiritually now. It's as if you think spiritual things are meaningless and only physical things have any meaning. You have such low standards and expectations. We will inherit the entire new heavens and new earth! That is what Peter...

We all know that the rest of the dead are resurrected, judged and then cast into the lake of fire after the thousand years (and Satan's little season), right? You pointed out that the resurrection of Jesus's people will occur on the last day. What else occurs on the last day? John 12:48 There...

You lost me on this one. At least we agree on one thing, but I don't even know where to start on this one. Yikes. If this is all so "easy peasy" then why are you not able to explain it more succintly? I find what you posted here to be very convoluted and not "easy peasy" at all.

And we're all supposed to somehow know about all that when you say it's "easy peasy"? It would be better for you to just not say things like that because it does not give the impression that you are someone who has studied this much, even though you have (as most of us here have, yet there is...

That's part of it, but you also are not specific in what you're saying a lot of the time. So, I'd be surprised if anyone can understand some of the things you say. It's completely up to you what you want to respond to or not. It's very clear we will never come anywhere close to agreeing on...

I have had it with you. I'm not going to waste any more time on this. You try to skate around the fact that you teach heresy and blasphemy with nonsense like this. Jesus is God and is eternal and created all things. I hope you acknowledge this one day before it is too late.

You said before that you believe Jesus is God. Why do you lie? You don't actually believe that. In order to be God, you must have all the attributes of God. That should go without saying. But, you don't believe that about Jesus. You believe He is the image of God, but not God.

You don't seem to understand the concept of anything.

What does this even mean? You say so many things that don't make any sense. How does the Bible itself tell us which is which? I'm sorry, but I find that statement to be ludicrous. Instead, I believe the Holy Spirit tells us which is which. It's not always easy to tell which is which, if we're...

Yes. Did you not see where I said there's no reason to think that Daniel 12:1-2 is talking about some other event than John 5:28-29? Like John 5:28-29? So what? Does that dictate how it is used in Daniel 12:2? Of course not. John 5:28-29 tells us how that should be understood. Yes, and John...

We currently have the hope of eternal life. We do not yet possess it. We will possess it when our bodies are changed to be immortal. That has obviously not yet occurred. Whenever scripture speaks about inheriting the kingdom it's talking in terms of inheriting it bodily. Only doctrinal bias...

Yes, He did. He first said that heaven and earth would pass away in Matthew 24:35 and then said that no one knows the day or hour that will happen. He then proceeded to talk about His second coming. This is no different than what Peter wrote about in 2 Peter 3:3-13. Peter also associated the...
