Nice job of completely missing the point. Can a symbolic sword literally kill people, resulting in birds eating their flesh? Explain how that works. Nonsense. I don't symbolize away anything. I believe Jesus will kill all of His enemies when He returns, but just not with a sword coming out of...

Are you purposely acting dumb here? No one was saying that the word translated as "hour" is a number. It is the Greek word translated as "one" (heis - Strong's G1520) that is in question here, not the Greek word translated as "hour" (hōra -Strong's G5610). Do you take the reference to "ONE...

You endlessly spout nonsense. Of course the judgment of casting the wicked into the lake of fire happens AFTER the wicked who are alive when He comes are destroyed. But, there is no indication in 2 Thess 1:6-10 nor in a passage like Matthew 25:31-46 that the wicked are cast into the LOF long...

Exactly. There is no correlation between 2 Peter 3:8 and Revelation 20 whatsoever, but some people insist on trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Isn't he agreeing with us? Or did I read his post wrong? I think he's agreeing that the earth will be changed and made new rather than annihilated and replaced. But, let's see what he says.

Exactly. He didn't say "I will replace all things with completely different things". He said "I make all things new". Big difference. Things will be changed (including our bodies - 1 Cor 15:51-52), not annihilated completely and replaced with entirely different things.

How do you reconcile your understanding of that verse with what it says here regarding the new heavens and new earth: Revelation 21:4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” How could...

You're avoiding the issue here. It is your belief that when it talks about the meek inheriting the earth that they are just inheriting it for a temporary period of time, right? That makes the meek inheriting the earth have far less meaning then what I believe it means, which is that the meek...

What does that mean that he is not infallible apart from the Church? You're saying he is infallible with the church then? Whatever that means. I'm not derailing anything. I don't need to waste time arguing against nonsense like thinking that Jesus was telling people to literally eat His body and...

Well, that's good. I'd hate to think that you were trying to do that and still failing to convince anyone here of anything, which would mean your efforts were all in vain.

It's helpful to quote scripture in order to show why you believe what you do. Can you not understand that for some reason? If all you do is share opinions, how are we supposed to know how you came to your conclusions? We're just left to guess if you don't reference any scriptures that your...

Some obviously do. But, I do not just believe what I want to believe, I believe what scripture teaches. And that's true for some others here as well. So, don't try to speak for everyone. I don't know what you're talking about here. Are you talking about the End times forum in particular? I...

You show the scriptures to indicate where you are getting your interpretation from. If you just give opinions without indicating which scriptures they are based on then what good is that? For all anyone knows, you're just making things up in that case. Speak for yourself. We can do that, but...

Exactly, and the last 2 passages you quoted show that as happening when Christ returns and not 1,000+ years later.

Are you referring to the resurrection of "the rest of the dead" here? You didn't specify. The first resurrection is also referenced in that verse. Assuming you're talking about the resurrection of the rest of the dead, yes, we all agree that it happens after the thousand years and happens at the...

So, do you believe that when the meek inherit the earth they will only inherit it for a temporary period of time instead of for eternity?

LOL. He didn't think that one through, did he.

Well said. Whenever I see someone try to claim that the earth will be completely annihilated and replaced by an entirely new earth I bring up the scripture that says that the meek will inherit the earth. Surely, it's not saying that the meek will inherit the earth only for a temporary amount of...

He does that all the time. That's one of the reasons I put him on ignore. It's a complete waste of time trying to have a discussion with him.

LOL. I didn't even say that. I do believe that, though. I said that in dispensationalism the last trumpet is not really the last trumpet. So, in what sense is the last trumpet actually the LAST trumpet in your view? So what? That is irrelevant. Who inspired both Paul and John to write what they...
