Yes, I agree. That's what I do. What it is not is assuming that any given text is either literal or figurative. Every verse and passage needs to be interpreted according to its own context without doctrinal bias being taken into it. I do. But, how do you determine what is literal and what is...

Congratulations on completely missing the point. I was talking about scripture in general, not just scripture about Christ's reign. Symbolic text does not equal myth. The truth is sometimes written in symbolism. Is that a problem for you? Jesus reigns right now. That is a fact. Scripture...

I understand that you don't want to argue, and that's fine. But, I also understand that you want to know the truth of these things. Am I right? So, there has to be some room for discussion here, isn't there? That is the part of the purpose of this forum. Is there some other way to interpret...

Yeah, just keep believing that Revelation 19 is all literal. Can't wait to see that big sword coming out of Christ's mouth that He'll use to slay His enemies. That will be awesome. How big do you think the sword will be?

Paul made it very clear that we will all be changed to have spiritual, immortal bodies at the last trumpet (1 Cor 15:50-54). So, we will all be changed at the same time. The last trumpet has not yet sounded. Also, scripture indicates that we will all be judged at the same time (Matt 25:31-46)...

Absolutely. It's very obvious that the sheep represent those who belong to Christ. Who else will inherit eternal life? This should not be hard to discern. I wish I knew why. Some people just believe what they want to believe and don't really care if they can back it up with scripture or not.

Abraham is looking forward to a heavenly country and to a city whose builder and maker is God (Hebrews 11:8-16). Why don't you join him in looking forward to that instead of a measly piece of useless land.

He's just another person who thought he was going to come on here to set us Amils straight, but was not prepared to answer any challenges to his own view.

LOL. What Christian doesn't believe that? I don't know of any Christian who doesn't believe that Jesus is fully human AND fully God at the same time.

Please don't lie on a Christian forum. You do not believe that Jesus is God. Everyone here knows that God is eternal and created the heavens and the earth. You don't believe that Jesus is eternal and you don't believe that He created the heavens and the earth even though scripture clearly...

This is just complete nonsense. Did you somehow miss that it says the sheep will inherit "eternal life" in "the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world" (Matt 25:34,46)? How can that apply to non-Christians? That is ludicrous. Only Christians (the church) will inherit eternal...

No, it does not. Don't just say things like this without backing them up. Your words mean nothing without scriptural support to back them up. I don't claim that the souls are literally, physically under an altar. We're talking about souls here, not bodies. The point is that it portrays them as...

There is no question about that. It is being exposed for all to see.

We have already done that many times. You are too blind to see it. Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Ephesians 1:19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he...

And Premils, of course, are completely unable to do that. Other than an erroneous literal and chronological reading of Revelation 19 and 20, Premil has ZERO support in the New Testament.

Neither Revelation 19:11-21 nor Acts 1:11 say anything about Jesus returning to the earth. We will meet Him "in the air", not on the earth (1 Thess 4:14-17).

But John expands the scope of those who will be killed at that time to be not just the army of the beast, but all people, whether great or small, free or slave. Revelation 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather...

If Armageddon is referring to a literal physical place, then is that your understanding of mystery Babylon as well? And of Gog and Magog referenced in Revelation 20:8? Revelation 20:7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the...

What is your understanding of the two witnesses? It indicates that they witness for the duration of the 1260 days at which point that beast ascends from the bottomless pit and kills them. I see the two witnesses as a symbolic representation of the church and refers to the witness of the church...
