Since we are both Amils you and I actually agree on a lot, also, but for some reason you act like I'm your mortal enemy just because we disagree on this particular topic. Go figure.

Give me a break. Are you that uptight that you have to end a discussion just because I used the word dude? You then used the word yourself, so you apparently aren't as upset at the use of that word as you're pretending to be. Is that worse than what you did, which was to misrepresent what I...

Of course. That's the whole point. I'm refuting someone else's claim that only believers will be resurrected. Obviously, no believers will be resurrected unto damnation.

I'm talking about true believers here, not fakes. Don't you make any distinction between the two? This is why I said before that it doesn't matter if they once were Christians, they weren't Christians when they died, which is what matters. So, when they are resurrected, they will not be...

Has what exactly? I'm not sure what in Revelation 2 relates directly to what I was saying, but maybe I'm just not understanding what you mean.

Okay, so let's look at the KJB translation of 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 then. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and...

Right. The way labels are being thrown around in this thread is shameful. Some seem to think that if you believe any prophecy has been fulfilled in the past then you're a preterist. Well, then we're all preterists by that definition since we all believe that the Old Testament prophecies...

The church represents the body of Christ which is made up only of true Christians. Judas Iscariot was not a true Christian and therefore is not part of the church.

That is different than any other English translation that I've seen. Every other translation that I've seen indicates that we won't all die, but we will all be changed at the last trumpet. Jerome's translation butchers the text and makes it say something completely different. We know that we...

I couldn't disagree more. No one who is part of the church will be cast into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41). He wasn't a true believer and was not part of the church. He proved that by his betrayal of Jesus.

First, you talk about something that only some Amillennialists believe, but then later you make the blanket statement that "Amillennialism has no answer as to why the Revelation 13 beast is destroyed at the second coming.". In fairness to the rest of us, you should make it clear throughout your...

Why did you stop quoting Peter there? 1 Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same...

As usual, you draw conclusions from one isolated verse without taking other scripture into account. Compare Revelation 20:6 to this passage: Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him...

How so? Don't make a claim like this without explaining what you mean. The sword in this case symbolizes destruction. But, it doesn't symbolize what causes the destruction exactly. Why can't you understand that symbols don't have to resemble what they symbolize in reality? Do you think Satan...

You need to work on figuring out which translation is best in cases like this. I've noticed you are not good at that at all. This is a better translation of that verse: Revelation 5:10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.” We are...

LOL! Your nonsense is truly hilarious. None of us interpret everything in the book symbolically and none of us take it all literally. But, you're acting as if everyone either interprets it all literally or all figuratively.

Do you think it helps your case when you completely ignore arguments that refute your beliefs? Let me try again. That same word is used in the following verses which I'm quoting from the KJV: Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom G932 of heaven is at hand. Should this say "the...

Of course I agree with that. Yes, He is, but 2 Peter 3:10-12 is not about that. It's about God burning up the current heavens and earth and renewing them which will result in the new heavens and new earth. Right. He is going to make the current heavens and earth new. How else will He do that...

That is complete nonsense. Are you somehow not aware that all people from all nations will stand before Christ to give an account of themselves? That is what Matthew 25:31-46 is portraying. Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we...

Where is that taught in scripture? No, I don't claim that. All you have are false accusations. Israel was not set to the side and I don't claim that as you falsely accused. There was a remnant of Israelite believers, as Paul said in Romans 11:5. Because of the shed blood of Christ, Gentile...
