Ok, I’m not arguing one way or the other on how we should be able to determine the length of a little season. But if a little season can be thousands of years long (which I disagree with), then how can Premils determine if we are currently in Satan’s little season or not? We all claim the Holy...

Well I’m not an expert on Greek but if I asked how long until I retire and someone said a little while, it could mean a few years. If I asked how long until the hamburgers are done and someone said a little while, that means a few minutes. So based on the millennium being a thousand years, a...

Ok, that’s fair, I guess I have always just assumed that everyone thought Satan’s little season had to be a short period of time.

I agree we can’t just simply come to the conclusion that Revelation 6:11 and Revelation 20:3 are speaking of the same “little while” because the same two Greek words are used in both those verses. I personally don’t think they are the same “little while”, but if we come to the conclusion that a...

Hey David, in Revelation 6:11 KJV says “rest yet for a little season” while other versions such as NKJV has “rest a little while longer”. When I do a search for the phrase “little while” there are quite a few verses that contain that phrase versus only two verses that contain “little season”...

I think we all will agree that everyone still physically dies. Adam died because of his sin and the wages of sin is death. Adam was expelled from the garden lest he eat of the tree of life and live forever. Christ paid for our sins and we have eternal life, we will never die. Since we currently...

I watched the video and thought it was interesting, I agree with him and absolutely agree with his method of determining what has been fulfilled, I just wish he would’ve included the verses that support this method of determining what’s been fulfilled. In Matthew 11:3 John the Baptist sent two...

So who or what is it that was sown by the Son of man in the first place? Are you agreeing that it was the Word of God? Matthew 23:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

My view is that the seed was the word of God, in a different parable, in Luke 8:11, the seed is the word of God. So the seed (word of God) that was sown by the Son of man only produces wheat. Satan sowed a false gospel that only produces tares.

The wheat was sown first then the tares. Who’s the wheat if everybody was a tare at one time?

Thanks for looking at the Greek on the word “sowing” I’ll update my notes on that so I can be more accurate the next time. I think so. 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of...

Yes, I absolutely agree a tare can’t become wheat in reality and that should be the context in which we examine the parable. Some of my thoughts were that the enemy sowed the tares when men slept is when John 9:4 takes place. John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is...

That’s a good question and I think @PinSeeker gave a good answer that I agree with. There is something that maybe you can give your thoughts on … I think we would all agree that Satan can’t create the seeds or tares that he sowed. Satan can certainly produce lies and false doctrine to deceive...

Interesting what ChatGPT said. In 1 Corinthians 15:54 it says this mortal must put on immortality. The word “must put on” is <1746> which means … The verb ἐνδύω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of putting on clothing or being clothed. It is often used metaphorically to...

Perhaps it could be understood as immortality is living forever vs being cast into the LOF is dying forever. Both exist forever but only one is considered immortal.

Excellent. I’ve looked at this myself and here’s my take on it … The fullness of the Gentiles, which coincides with the times of the Gentiles, should be looked at beginning with the times of the Jews. The Jewish kingdom began at Sinai, when the Shekinah glory dwelt in the Tabernacle and later...

Ok, if I have your view correct then … Satan sows the tares, the tares have a choice, but from the moment they are sowed it is known that they never will choose to repent. Wouldn’t that mean Satan does have the power of death? Satan has a choice as whether he sows tare seeds or not, so if...

If a tare has a choice then a tare can be saved, right?

Yes, that’s why the idea of this parable being written from God’s perspective gets brought up. From God’s perspective He knows ahead of time who is or isn’t saved and that knowledge doesn’t change. So it is reasonable to say the parable is written from God’s perspective. But if we continue with...

Alright, if your church wouldn’t tolerate a Calvinist then a Calvinist isn’t a tare, right? Tares are people who are allowed to grow along side the wheat.
