    How Many Judgements Of Being Cast Into The Lake of Fire Are There?

    Revelation 20:4 (KJV) And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon...

    unselfish works like a work of the Holy Spirit by a non-Christian, what about that?

    The problem as I see it is the works done in unbelief receive merit/reward in this life. That is praise from the world. But works done by Christians are done by the power of God in us, for the Bible tells us that it is God working in us to will and do that which brings praise to Him. That's...

    Matthew 24:30 may have a significant mistranslation

    It only matters to Preterists who need it to be a localized, rather than universal event. Where is the biblical evidence that all the tribes of the land of Israel saw Christ' coming in 70 AD? Since there are no passages to prove Christ returned in 70 AD, the Preterists, although understanding...

    It appears that it doesn't matter to you if the doctrines you embrace force the Word of God to be contradictive nonsense??? o_O

    Genesis - Gospel - Revelation all speak of The Mesiah Ruling OVER the earth with His saints! The Saints of God rule with Christ spiritually through His Spirit in us. This is demonstrated in how Christ has given His Church (believers) gifts of that enable us to rule well, and when we rule well...

    Yes, indeed Scripture shows us the prayers out of a righteous heart avail much. I've often heard from Premillennialists that Amillennialism is falsehood, but what I've learned through my study of Scripture, much prayer and reliance on the Holy Spirit, is that contradictions forced upon the...

    Perhaps we should also pray to the Lord to set you free from placing your faith in Premillennialism, and in fact all the others in this forum who do!

    David, I find this comment offensive! I'm pretty sure that if I or anyone else would imply YOU are not reading and praying, nor following the prompting of the Holy Spirit, you too would be offended. Instead of these offensive remarks prove that what I have shown you is not biblical and also...

    That's right David! None will be resurrected from the grave bodily until an hour that is coming when the last trumpet sounds. John 5:28-29 (KJV) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have...

    It's too bad you will not receive what I've shown you David. But sadly, I'm not really surprised. It's typical of Premillennialists, who will only believe what that which is physical. So, you deny that Christ has already come in His Kingdom, and to prove it He says: Matthew 12:28 (KJV)...

    Revelation 22:13 (KJV) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Of course, I believe what is plainly written! Perhaps you will explain how this is relevant to this discussion???

    John says the Kingdom of God is not of this world, but he does NOT say that the servants of Christ are not NOW reigning with Christ as kings and priests through Christ's Spirit in us. Yes, Christ says, His Kingdom if not now from here. He also says: Luke 17:21 (KJV) Neither shall they say...

    Your reply in 482 does not give an answer for how believers in physical flesh live and reign with Christ in spirit and in truth through the Holy Spirit of Christ in us. It assumes believers will one day live and reign with Christ physically in a future 1,000 years after Christ comes again. But...

    David, mankind is born with both body and spirit as living souls upon this earth. While it is true that our body, the outer shell that houses our spirit shall die, we, who have been born again possess a spirit that can NEVER die. It is through the spirit within our body made alive through the...

    How can that be David, "The two resurrections are separated by 1,000 Years"??? All of the dead in the graves both those of faith and those who die in unbelief shall be resurrected in the same hour that is coming when time symbolized a thousand years shall be no more. Those who have done good...

    Good morning David, This is one of those already but not yet complete scenarios. The martyred saints after death still being the spiritual body of Christ ascended to the Kingdom of God in heaven after the cross and resurrection. There they are living souls waiting with Christ for the fullness...

    David, I believe we are told where the body of the saints went who came out of their graves AFTER the resurrection of Christ. Since the graves were opened after Christ resurrected, we should not assume these saints appeared bodily to many in the holy city in Jerusalem of this earth. Matthew...

    I added the last sentence of Rev 5 to Rev 6 to make a point Doug. I explained this to you, so why are you making it appear I have misquoted Rev 6? Here is Revelation 20:5 (KJV) But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection...

    I will raise them on the last day.

    Not will be Doug! They are already tribulation saints having been faithful unto death. Yet even though physical death has taken them from this earth, they remain the spiritual body of Christ, living souls in the Kingdom of God in heaven because in life before being martyred they lived and...

    70-AD was the damnation of HELL

    Yes, I agree Christ was surely speaking to those living at that time. Only remember the words He spoke to them is first and foremost for His disciples, but they are only the beginning of proclaiming the gospel of the Kingdom of God to all the nations of the world. Therefore, the words Christ...
