    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Explain how, since it says these are destroyed, people who do not know God, people who do not obey Christ's gospel, that group includes all the unbelieving. Their everlasting fiery destruction occurs on the Day He returns. This is that Day of vengeance, which is also mentioned in the OT. 2...

    What happened to the 10 toes in Daniel 2?

    They are combined together but they do not merge together as a unit or compound. Meaning they could be separated again. My view is it shows them with weak feet. They don't walk together well, they are fractious. The kings fight and put down other kings. They do not get along with each other.

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    In Luke 21, Jesus tells the church, as in the people of God, they are on the earth at the end when He returns at the end of the world-age. Jesus warns us to watch, and pray to be counted worthy of escape, otherwise that Day of His returning will come on you as a thief, and you will not be ready...

    This book is written to the church of believers, it is not written to a 'raptured church in heaven' 2 Thessalonians 1 1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus...

    True, I read plenty of verse showing the saints (church) are on the earth until the second glorious bodily coming of Christ. Christ said so, and all the apostles, and Revelation 14 says so. 9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    It does not need to be and neither is scripture my own work. The truth is what it is, why do you continually reject 2 Thessalonians 1? You do realize it is in everyone's bible. Amil do not have a separate bible like rebuilder454 fusses about.

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    The resurrection of damnation refers to the raising of the wicked from the dead to face judgment and eternal separation from God. Biblical Context The term appears in John 5:29, where Jesus states: "Those who have done good shall come forth to the resurrection of life, and those who have done...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Well you just verified there is no earthly 1000 year reign in mortal bodies of anyone. Because when He appears we shall all be changed and the dead raised incorruptible as DEATH is DESTROYED, no more dying for anyone. As also those that do not know God, those who do not obey the gospel, Christ...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    So you don't believe this then? (as you just said core belief of Amils are to be made fun of) Mark 16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into Heaven, and sat at the right hand of God. Mark 12:36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost: ‘The Lord said to my...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    it is like this one here in v43, but yes it is in concept. John 5:43 I have come in My Father’s name, and ye receive Me not; if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. Matthew 12:30 “He that is not with Me is against Me, and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth abroad...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    If they do, we read the punishment in Revelation 14 8 And there followed another angel, saying, “Babylon is fallen! Fallen is that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If any...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Regardless, it just does not fit what Paul says happens with the return of Christ in 2 Thessalonians 1, does it.

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    The "rod of iron" is indeed the exact weak point in that style of premillennial framework. Trying to argue that unsaved, mortal rebels survive the visible, glorious second coming to populate a 1,000-year terrestrial kingdom under Christ's "rod of iron," fundamentally misreads what that phrase...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Amil is not saying there is no 1000 years reign. Amil just says it is in heaven where Christ is and also symbolic. Amil does not agree that Christ returns to this earth, does not destroy the wicked and unbelieving. And rules here on earth apart from God the Father who remains in heaven, while...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Well sure, He said this John 14, but this is not the rapture, or the second glorious 'bodily coming', where 'every eye will see Him, even them that pierced Him, Amen'. That coming, He will bring His angels with Him, the departed saints, and the world will see Him again. 31 “When the Son of Man...

    of course we will see that but still only a remnant will be saved, yet it will be all those God unblinds to the gospel. The elect will obtain salvation while the rest remain blinded. Romans 11 I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of...

    But see, you can only regard them according to the flesh if they are unsaved. Their blindness to the gospel, and they are also enemies of the gospel, until they believe in Christ. No unbelieving jews are saved or raptured to be with Christ.

    As far as God views His people there are neither jews, nor gentiles, they are all one in Christ who have put on Christ. As Paul says we no longer regard anyone according to the flesh because either Jew or Gentile are no more separated, they are a new creation in Christ...
