    Convince me of Annihilationism

    (speaking as a man) I'm feeling cognitively dissonant. I want to believe in Annihilationism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annihilationism. I want to believe scriptures such as Psalms 37:10 Psalms 37:20 Psalms 37:36 refer to the eternal state of sinful man rather than speaking only about life...

    The Restrainer

    This particular passage is speaking in plural. Saying "here, or there" is talking about multiple claims by multiple people. Christ is synonymous with saviour. It's another way of saying many false saviours will be present at the time. Christian's (who actually read and study the bible) will...

    I respectfully disagree with those saying he will claim to be "Christ" 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. In addition to vehemently hating all...

    Right, that's the crux of what my disagreement would be. Satan is lawless. Lawlessness is by definition unrestrained.

    Hi Charity. Your interpretation was interesting. I'd never heard it before. One question I have is, if the Restrainer were Satan then why would Satan not have moved out of the way to unleash the man of sin a long time ago? He knows his time is short, after all. Wouldn't he want to make use of...

    Amillenialism and Acts 1:11

    No, u guys think that when Jesus will return all things will be made new and everything will melt away. But that's not right, because it says that He will return the same way he came... to this Earth. This is all before the new heavens and new earth.

    Okay so then 2 Timothy 2:18 does apply to you, at least in part, cuz you're saying the first ressurection has already happened. I don't know if what your saying is necessarily ruinous to anyone's faith, since correct eschatology is not a salvific issue. Paul was probably talking about those who...

    I think this is future tense. Why would Paul need to tell them that they will, that they shall judge Angel's if they were already aware of that fact? They weren't aware of it because it has not yet come to pass, it is future still. It sounds like Jesus judged everything already then. The...

    Before you start asking more questions I think you should really answer some of ours.

    That's twice you've posted this definition, so I will ask you again Are all Angels (in scripture) merely human pastors? Was the angel sent to guard the entrance to Eden a human pastor?

    The Restrainer

    The scripture I posted says that we, Christians, will judge Angels. I believe it means what it says. I do not claim to be judging angels at this present moment in time; you, on the other hand, have claimed that you are doing so when I asked you earlier if you were presently in the business of...

    Are all Angels human pastors?

    I'm trying to follow your line of reasoning. Can you explain what prompted you to post "Then God is true"? This will probably be the last question I ask of you in this thread, anyway.

    The Restrainer

    Okay, let's look at the verses in context then. 1 Corinthians 6:1-3 1 When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try...

    Great falling away (is this happening now?)

    Ugh.... no wrong. Read Matthew 24:42-47 I need to get off this site for awhile.
