    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    What is it you think I deny that needs to be sorted out? What I have often observed when replying to you is that you don't like to be questioned about what you believe. And when you are you often become unreasonable, which is why replying to you becomes pointless!

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    I believe the Bible. Man is created with a body + the breath of life (spirit) and together body + spirit became a living soul. Genesis 2:7 (KJV) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, (outer man flesh & bone) and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; (Spirit of God)...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Yes, in the act of salvation man is reconciled to God through God in us. We are not reconciled to God by being spiritually resurrected. Adam received the consequences promised him for disobeying God. Adam did NOT spiritually die, the Spirit that gave him life when he was created departed from...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Yes, our spirit is quickened not raised or resurrected from the grave of sin. Quickened through the power of God in us, with new heart/mind/will that now desires to serve God, which is not through resurrection but through new birth, that's when we become a new man in possession of eternal life...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Our spirit is dead in trespasses and sins; it is not without life because it is through the spirit that man possesses natural life in the flesh. It is not a resurrection that our natural spirit receives through the Holy Spirit in us when we are born again! Our natural spirit is infused or...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    I used to believe like you, but then I realized teaching man before salvation is spiritually dead does not make sense. Because a dead spirit cannot give man physical life. How can man before salvation be spiritually dead while physically alive? It is the spirit that gives life. If man...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    I must disagree! It is not spiritual resurrection that produces new birth. It is new birth that changes man's natural spirit through the supernatural Holy Spirit of Christ in us. Christ does not say we must be resurrected to both know and enter the Kingdom of God. He says we must be born...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    If we don't have part in the life of Christ, who is the "first resurrection" before we physically die, then our death is in unbelief! Then at the end of days when Christ returns, we will NOT be physically resurrected to life in Christ, or to have part in Christ's resurrected life (the first...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Just because some, calling themselves Amill don't understand eternal security one in Christ possesses doesn't make Amillennialism a false teaching. It simply means they, like you, are not certain that Christ has given them eternal life from the moment they were born again. In this verse (6)...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    I'm not trying to nitpick because I know you believe salvation is our spiritual resurrection. I believe calling new birth our spiritual resurrection adds confusion into the discussion. When we are born again, we have not been resurrected, rather when we believe and we are born again we are...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Those still physically alive when Christ comes again only need to be changed from mortal to immortal, and corruptible to incorruptible as Paul tells us when he writes "we shall not all sleep (die) but we shall all be changed". This happens "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Your confusing the transformation of mankind who has been born again, with the bodily resurrection of all the dead in the hour that is coming when the last trumpet sounds and time shall be no longer. Man is transformed through spiritual re-birth, not resurrection. And all the dead shall be...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Amillennialism believes the "first resurrection" is indeed PHYSICAL! It's the bodily resurrection of Christ that man MUST partake of before we physically die for us to overcome the second death. How does a man have part in the physical resurrection of Christ who btw is the first resurrection...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    When man physically dies their body returns to dust of the earth, and the spirit (breath of life) returns to God who gave it. The spirit of man is destined to return to heaven a spiritual body (living soul) after physical death, or the spirit of man in unbelief, like the spirit (breath of...

    Ammillennialism's illegitimate redefining and switching around of the meaning of Greek words and biblical concepts

    Genesis 2:7 (KJV) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. John 20:22 (KJV) And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: God 'breathed' נָפַח...

    A Little Season

    Yes, and AFTER the thousand years expires, Satan is given a "little season" of more time! Can you explain how knowing Satan must have permission from God to bring suffering to man apply to Satan's little season that is given to him AFTER the thousand years expires? I don't understand what...

    A Little Season

    Good question!

    A Little Season

    David, these continuing platitudes by you add nothing but frustration to these discussions. If this is all you have to add to these discussions, I suggest silence from you would be much better received!

    A Little Season

    Again, with these platitudes David?

    A Little Season

    That doesn't answer my question! The question stems around the "little season" Satan is allowed by God AFTER time (the thousand years) has expired. How does knowing Satan must have permission from God to persecute and even kill faithful saints apply to his "little season" that he's given AFTER...
