David, now you are showing you have the same understanding of the faithful dead that John was shown in the vision of Rev 20. These souls John says are alive after they have physically died are a spiritual body of believers in heaven, called souls, because they are alive. They will not be...

They turned away from God, broke His Covenant and worshipped other gods and idols; therefore, they forfeit the promised land, exactly as God warned they would. We cannot cling to promises from God that come with both blessing and cursing, then say God is not faithful to His promises. The fact...

When I first became a Christian I too was taught the doctrine you now believe. One day I was convicted of the need to search and study the Word of God for myself. That's when I began to notice contradictions and inconsistencies is what I had been taught to believe. I asked my Pastor and...

EG, I don't doubt for a moment that you would hope I would read the Word and be open, I too feel the same way. But the problem that you and I will never resolve is our opposing view of biblical eschatology. You read and understand Scripture from the Dispensational Premillennial POV, and I read...

Sincerely trying not to be overly harsh EG, what you've written IMO sounds more like wishful thinking than biblical truth.

I agree the faithful dead shall not be a spiritual body of believers in heaven FOREVER! We shall only be there until time given this earth shall be no longer. That will be when the seventh/last trumpet sounds and time shall be no longer, or some translations say there shall be no longer delay...

IMO your reply above is not a rebuttal for what I have given you using Scripture to prove why I believe as I do. I believe your response is based on your view of biblical eschatology. What happens to your doctrine, I believe is Premillennial, if the spirit of faithful saints after physical...

Who is the serpent in the Garden of Eden that marked A&E to death through deception, causing them to sin? Revelation is a book filled with symbolic imagery, and as long as you continue to read it with mostly wooden literalism you will never be able to discern it.

IMO God created mankind with a free will, knowing that man with unfettered free will, would never freely choose to submit to another, not even God although knowing that disobedience to God's command would bring death. Therefore man had to experience sin and it's consequence, death that they...

When I looked at the defining of 'breath of life' I discovered when God breathed into man the breath of life is spirit within that gives every living breathing creature upon the earth physical life. Genesis 2:7 (KJV) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into...

I've already replied to this question David. I replied by asking you if you believe the beast and his mark are only for the last days? This may not be my verbatim original question but very close to it. When you answer my question, then we may be able to discuss your belief that I assume you...

Did you read Joshua? The reason God repeatedly says that Israel will NEVER be altogether forsaken is because throughout history Israel has always had a remnant that would be saved. He blessed them and repeatedly sent them prophets with the Law to warn them, because the remnant to be saved both...

The promise for them to inherit the land of Cannan was fulfilled through Joshua. He led them into the promised land, and God gave them ALL that He promised and drove out their enemies. If Israel had kept the Covenant promise they made to be faithful to God alone and keep His commandments, not...

Solomon tells us the spirit returns to God who gave it, and we learn from Christ that life we receive from Him is everlasting and shall never die. Christ knew that all mortal flesh is destined to die, so the life we receive from Him that is everlasting and shall never die is life we have...

The problem I find with this way of applying many things to Israel of Old, is how the focus is on Israel when Christ sent His Spirit that they might know He had already come in the Kingdom of God, and instead of focusing on the physical nation, the focus for His disciples should be about...

The parables Christ repeatedly speaks are all given to show the Kingdom of God that was long awaited has come. At His coming Christ ushered in the Kingdom of God. That the Kingdom of God had come through Christ, was not realized by the nation of Israel because they were looking for a physical...

I always found myself in an inconsistent state of mind when the question of what the lake of fire shall be for those who are cast there. I've always had an emotional problem of the wicked being tormented forever in the lake of fire. I remained on the fence between verses that appear to say the...

Interesting Hobie. Isn't it strange how we can read and study the Bible then one day a light bulb seems to bring greater or better light of simple little things we've probably read many times! Without searching out 'quenching' for myself, off the top of my head I must say this is a reasonable...

Is not this also assuming there will be one thousand more years of time after the return of Christ? If the Kingdom of God is going to be physically upon this earth, why does Christ say the Kingdom of God is not of this world, and is not visible, because the Kingdom of God is within you? Luke...

Okay, I see where you're coming from. Being Amil I don't believe there will be a regathering for Israel to receive the promised land. Israel has already received the promised land through Joshua, and if you take the time to read Joshua you will find that not a single promise God made to the...
