    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    Yes, sadly I understand you believe what you want to believe. You don't even acknowledge the FACT that the Kingdom of God has come. My Lord is not a liar! How can your Lord not be a liar if physical resurrection is all we can hope for? My Lord has given me assurance that the life that I...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    Really? The way I'm choosing to read it is through that which is written without reading my opinion into the words John wrote, as you do. It is he, not I speaking of these martyred souls saying, "they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." No matter how you believe a thousand years...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    How many profess to having been born again, but do not understand that when one is born again they both know and have entered the Kingdom of God? So many professing to have been born again, don't believe the Kingdom of God has come. Why would one believe they have been born again yet deny the...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    I was tempted to simply write LOL! But the depth of your lack of knowledge and the arrogance premillennialists display about the doctrine of Amil goes beyond laughable. Your doctrine has beheaded souls physically brought to life again on this earth without a head! How else would John know...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    I am praying "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" because I long for the Kingdom of God that is NOW in this age within me, but incomplete, to be filled completely with all who shall be saved and then the Kingdom of God shall come down from heaven to the new earth...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    The Kingdom of God is within you, and when His Kingdom is within you, through His Spirit you have come into the paradise of God. Christ instructs us to pray for this to come because the Kingdom of God within us must be complete before Christ shall come again. Is that not something to look...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    The wonderful thing about being a child of God is knowing that when my flesh breathes its last, I shall still be alive with my Lord. If my hope were in this life only, I would be most miserable, knowing that mortal death shall take me from my Lord, because NONE shall be physically resurrected...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    God predestinating any man to hell? What a lack of Biblical knowledge this statement shows. Did God force Adam & Eve to disobey Him, or did they freely choose to disobey Him? God created them "very good", and still they of their own free will chose to listen to the voice of evil and eat from...

    Paul claimed 3 times that Rev 20:4 was a current reality.

    All Israel is completed by Gentiles being grafted in together with them, and together they are "the Israel of God." All Israel is not an ethnic people but all people of faith.

    Paul claimed 3 times that Rev 20:4 was a current reality.

    Though it speaks of the remnant of Old saved, there shall be an innumerable multitude from all nations of the earth that shall be saved. I've often wondered if "the remnant" applies to all nations, and together the whole becomes the innumerable multitude? But this could simply be me having...

    Paul claimed 3 times that Rev 20:4 was a current reality.

    It seems it's important to you Pinseeker? Paul does not contradict himself, speaking of his kinsmen according to the flesh, Paul writes, "only the remnant shall be saved." You can read the words of Paul anyway you like, but that does not change the FACT that Paul does not say after the...

    Paul claimed 3 times that Rev 20:4 was a current reality.

    The real problem I find with the opinion of a mass conversion of ethnic Jews after the last Gentile has been saved is how to reconcile that with Paul saying more than once that only the remnant of Jews would be saved? Since the advent of Christ, Jews, like every other ethnic people of the earth...

    Paul claimed 3 times that Rev 20:4 was a current reality.

    I've already shown you from the Scriptures why there cannot be a mass conversion of ethnic Jews to Christ after the fullness of the Gentiles have come into the Kingdom of God. Do you not agree the mystery hidden of old and made known in the new was that Gentiles would complete the Kingdom of God?

    Paul claimed 3 times that Rev 20:4 was a current reality.

    How many times must I tell you that I agree with you? I know that anastasis is a bodily/physical resurrection from the dead! That's why in life, before we physically die, we MUST have part in the bodily/physical resurrection life through Christ to overcome the second death. Because Christ is...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    Yet, God spoke all things in heaven and earth into existence in 6 days! Consider what John writes regarding the sounding of the seventh/last trumpet. John writes in the day(s) of the voice of the seventh angel. I don't know how you read this, but I'm inclined to believe that days (plural)...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    Christ's first coming ushered in this period of time symbolized a thousand years. A time when Satan is bound and the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is sent unto all the nations of the world that the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven might be complete. This is the time period Isa 65 pertains to...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    The problem with your reasoning David is that you are trying to force the NHNE to come down in TIME, that you think will be one thousand literal years. The NHNE don't come down until after TIME shall be no longer. The day of the Lord's coming will be accompanied by the heavens passing away...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    You've got this much almost right! Yes, it does involve a thousand years! Problem for you is to figure out how a thousand years can literally mean ONE thousand years without causing inconsistency and contradiction into the Word of God!

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    Not to worry David! I know after some years having these discussions with you that you often come across as being tossed to and fro, not really understanding how you can believe this, but further how you could possibly believe that??? Until you begin to understand the Kingdom of God is a...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    Nothing in this age shall be perfect, but all that is spiritually in heaven already is. As long as we are physically alive on this earth, we look for what shall be in both heaven now, and on the NHNE after this heaven and earth passes away. Like the Apostle Paul, we desire to depart from this...
