    Amillennialism vs premillennialism ......how & why ppl believe different.

    If the inheritance of the land of Cannan was forever, why are they not still in possession of ALL the promised land that possessed through Joshua? When a promise from God is said to be FOREVER, it can NEVER fail, so why was the nation of Old cast out of the land of Canaan that was given to them...

    Understanding the Unquenchable Fire.

    Then why is the lake of fire the second death? Revelation 20:14 (KJV) And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

    Amillennialism vs premillennialism ......how & why ppl believe different.

    The problem is that there is only one truth. Both positions could be wrong, but since they are opposed to each other, only one, if either can be truth. Sadly, Biblical truth shall always bring DIVISION. That's why Christ says when He came into this world with the Gospel of the Kingdom of God...

    Amillennialism vs premillennialism ......how & why ppl believe different.

    God said to Abram "unto they seed will I give this land". This before there was a nation of twelve tribes called Israel. Why didn't God say unto your seed(s) as many if the promise would be only to Abram's biological seeds? God said seed, as one seed for a reason. The blessing through Abram...

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

    The resurrection that had not passed as these deceivers tried to make it appear, is the physical resurrection that shall come when all who are physically dead in the graves shall be resurrected to life, or to damnation. The only resurrection shown in the Bible is physical or bodily resurrection...

    Who are their fathers? Are they not the remnant according to election of grace? The fathers of Old as in Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?

    Those who have part of the first resurrection are NOT among the dead, who shall be resurrected and judged in an hour coming when the DEAD will hear Christ calling them to come out of the graves. Again, I ask you who was the serpent at creation who through deception marked for death Adam & Eve?

    You're not reading this passage carefully David. Notice in vs 24-25 Christ says the hour that NOW is NOT time for hearing Christ's voice calling for the physically dead to come out of the graves. He says the hour that NOW is when the dead His voice through hearing His Word and believing on...

    That's not difficult David, when you read Ezekiel as pertaining to the SPIRITUAL Kingdom of God that is within you. When did Christ send His Spirit to be within you? Think Pentecost. Are those bones that come to life through the Spirit in them the "whole house of Israel" ethnically or...

    Amillennialism vs premillennialism ......how & why ppl believe different.

    The Covenant God made with the biological seeds called Israel of Old was conditioned upon faithfulness to the Covenant. The land of promise could have been theirs until they finally went to far and rejected Christ, become altogether desolate unto God. Which is why Christ tells them that God...

    I believe Ezekiel 37 is referring to mankind having part in the resurrection life of Christ, the first resurrection, when through the Gospel proclaimed in the power of the Holy Spirit men who were dead in trespasses and sins were made spiritually alive when born again of Christ's Spirit. 2...

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

    How is that possible? When the last/seventh trumpet begins to sound there shall be time no longer. Why does John write the they "lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years" before they were physically martyred? There is only one bodily resurrection that shall be in an hour coming when the...

    Amillennialism vs premillennialism ......how & why ppl believe different.

    The Covenant God gave mankind through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob of the SEED (Christ) that would come is NOT divided into many parts. That is the same Covenant God spoke after A&E disobeyed Him and brought sin and death through sin to creation. Genesis 3:14-15 (KJV) And the LORD God said unto...

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

    I am not Premillennial, but I agree the "first resurrection" is the bodily resurrection of Christ. When we have part in Christ through His Spirit and have been born again, we have part in His first resurrection life which means we have gone from being spiritually dead in trespasses and sins to...

    Amillennialism vs premillennialism ......how & why ppl believe different.

    I very much appreciate your replies EG. Because you come from a Premil POV where the Covenant of God to both the natural seeds of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, as well as the supernatural SEED (Christ) that came through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to all who are supernaturally called "Israel of God"...

    Amillennialism vs premillennialism ......how & why ppl believe different.

    That isn't true LAMB. The topic is Amil vs Premil. Understanding the Covenant of Redemption and who it was given to and who would be benefactors of the Covenant of Redemption through Christ is at the very heart of the differences between these two eschatological points of view...

    Amillennialism vs premillennialism ......how & why ppl believe different.

    Sorry, but that makes no sense to me. Forfeiting the use is the same as forfeiting the inheritance. They would keep forever IF they obeyed or be cut off when they did not. That has always from the beginning been whole Covenant promise to Israel of old regarding the promised land of Cannan...

    You show you understand the symbolism being under the altar as their blood crying out after death. The altar is where the blood of animals was shed for one's sins to be atoned for. It was the altar that is Christ that these martyred saints were symbolically under. They could not be raised a...

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

    Exactly FOG! That's exactly what John is telling us in Rev 20. Those who physically die in faith, through His Spirit in us continue to be a spiritual body of believers still living souls after physical death because the life we have through Christ is through our eternal spirit, not our...
