It's not a real, literal sword. It's a symbolic sword. Didn't you acknowledge that yourself? Explain how a non-literal, non-physical sword can kill people. It can't. That's what a literal, physical sword does. But, it's not talking about a literal, physical sword. What is so hard to...

That is referring to the CURRENT authority that believers (both dead and alive) have as priests in His kingdom, which is referred to in Revelation 1:5-6. You have to be kidding me here. Did you somehow miss that the saved and unsaved are gathered for judgment at the same time which will be when...

Does Christ's second coming stretch out over thousands of years or is there a future 24 hour day coming during which He will come at some point during that day with the dead in Christ being resurrected at that time? He is King over His kingdom now and we're in His kingdom now, so why wouldn't...

Give me one name of an Amill who thinks that the rest of the dead are the ones who have part in the first resurrection? I think you are making this up just like you made up the idea that many Amills have disdain for the book of Revelation. All you have is false accusations against Amils. You...

This is nonsense. The fact that His Spirit is in us means that His kingdom is on earth spiritually. How can you not know that? How can you be this lacking in discernment? It says in 1 Peter 2:9 that we (the church) are a "ROYAL priesthood". What kingdom are we in as priests if not Christ's...

Are you even trying here? You are so incredibly biased that you are incapable of understanding this straightforward passage: 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...

This is typical of you. You have nothing to refute what I say, so you resort to false accusations. I ABSOLUTELY DO believe what God says in Revelation 19. Don't ever tell me that I don't believe what He says in His Word. I simply interpret it differently than you. We agree that Jesus will...

I wasn't really intending to say that the word can only ever mean condemned. I didn't say that, actually. But, I conclude that it does mean that in Revelation 11:18 because the dead who are judged are contrasted with God's servants who are rewarded. But, regardless of all that, it says the...

Except that you corrected nothing. It says the dead will be judged at the last trumpet and the dead are shown as being judged after the thousand years and Satan's little season. You are trying any way you can to get around that, but it can't be done. And you noticeably are ignoring the fact...

LOL. Nothing is more ludicrous than trying to claim that a SYMBOLIC sword can be used to literally, physically kill people. Again, this is like thinking that Jesus could literally set the seven symbolic candlesticks He was standing by on fire (Rev 1:12-13). Ludicrous. So, I ask you once...

You are not seeing it because you're reading it with your Premil Bias glasses on. How can you think there is no reigning referenced there when it refers to Jesus in present tense as "the prince of the kings of the earth" and references believers as having been made "kings and priests unto God...

I debated him on another forum and I got fed up with his nonsense and put him on my ignore list (he was the only one on it). I'll have to do the same here.

Would you agree that we are priests in Christ's kingdom now as passages like Revelation 1:5-6 and 1 Peter 2:9 indicate? If so, does that change when we die and our souls go to heaven? Tell me, does the second death have power over you now? Does it have power over the dead in Christ right now...

Tell me exactly how a SYMBOLIC sword can LITERALLY kill people. How can you not see how ludicrous that is? That's like saying that Jesus could literally light the seven candlesticks (symbolically representing seven churches) He was standing by on fire, as written about in Revelation 1:12-13...

You will clearly twist any scripture you need to in order to make it fit your doctrine. Revelation 11:18 differentiates between the unsaved dead who are judged (Greek word means condemned) and the saved who are rewarded. Revelation 11:The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time...

Give me a break. This is complete nonsense. What do you think, that the disciples just came up to Him on the mount of Olives and just randomly asked Him questions about things that they hadn't previously discussed? The first question they asked Him was "when will this happen?". When will...

Why not? In Matthew 24:15-22. It's also recorded in the parallel passages of Mark 13:14-20 and Luke 21:20-24.

I never said that. Are you purposely missing the point? Do you seriously not recognize any similarities between Revelation 1:5-6 and Revelation 20:6? Revelation 1:5-6 talks about Christ having been the first to be resurrected from the dead (the first resurrection), about Him currently...

What evidence do you have to back up your claim that "many Amills to this day believe" that nonsense? I'm not aware of any Amills who believe that the rest of the dead are the ones who have part in the first resurrection.

LOL. No, I'm the one recognizing that a symbolic sword can't be used to literally, physically kill people. That's Common Sense 101. You said yourself that it's a symbolic sword. Please explain to me how someone can be literally, physically killed by a non-literal, non-physical, symbolic...
