You've hit the crux of the question. In salvation man is saved from the penalty that comes from sin that is eternal death, but as long as we are alive in this world, in bodies destined to die, we shall never be completely free from every sin. The blessing is that when we do fall into sin, as...

Where does our physical life come from if not from the spirit that every living creature has to give our physical body, though mortal, life? God created man with a body + spirit (breath of life) and he became a living soul. Our spirit is who we are! It controls our mind, will, emotions and...

Scripture says that when we are in Christ, we become a new 'man'. Yes, the new man being Christian is called a living temple. I don't find any place in Scripture that says Christ is the new heaven and new earth, nor does it say believers become the new heaven and new earth. I only find...

No, I agree, when we partake of Christ's resurrection, we are partaking spiritually not physically. But partake of Him we must to be born again. We will not be physically resurrected until an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds, and only those who are physically dead shall be physically...

I assumed you were speaking of the elect being physically gathered from the graves and those who are still alive at His coming. I believe that Christ ushered in His Kingdom when He came. It is a spiritual Kingdom we can know of and enter when we are born again. Yes, we were first called...

I don't really view John asking if Christ was the one they were looking for to be a sin. I think many of us have doubts about who Christ is until our eyes are opened to spiritual truth. It's both really, because spiritual persecution can lead to physical death, as it did in the case of John...

David, I can't speak for other Amils, but I believe John speaks of these martyred saints as having lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years during their lifetimes where they were faithful unto death. Which is why they are alive in heaven a spiritual body of believers as living souls after...

When Satan sits in Churches as an angel of light, he shall cause the light of Christ to shine no more at all within. When the light of Christ is removed from the Church the Gospel as a witness for Christ is silenced, or as dead. When the light of the candle shines no more in the Church the...

Isn't that exactly what the serpent did in the beginning? Trying to get you to reason with all of Scripture, rather than trying to formulate your doctrine based on verses here and there or only from Revelation. What if the deadly wound was that which was ordained by God when the serpent was...

How could it not have begun then? Before being bound through the first advent of Christ, he had the power to hold people in bondage to fear of death. Death that came through him was introduced into creation when through deception he deceived A&E into sin. It seems to me Satan's power can only...

From the beginning I see Satan, depicted as the serpent being worshipped by Adam & Eve. They heeded his voice and disobeyed God. Wouldn't you agree that at that moment they became servants to Satan, and sin and sadly their offspring would be born in the same servanthood. Mankind as long as...

Satan is the power behind all evil that comes upon the earth. This power goes by many names. In chapter 20 alone he is called, the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan. Calling Satan a beast speaks of his personality, he is like a very dangerous wild animal.

David, as I've come to understand "little season" it is but a short period of time. I do not conflate the little season the martyred souls under that altar must wait with the little season Satan is given after time symbolized a thousand years expires. Satan will not have a little season...

I would say the Prophet Jeremiah is comparing Israel of Old through her apostacy and spiritual adultery to what the earth was before the Spirit brought Light and life into creation (darkness and void of Light & Life). It is for this reason that the nation would go into 70 years of captivity...

David, read the passage carefully. They are martyred for their faithfulness in life. When, according to John, have they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years? It was during their lifetimes that these faithful saints were martyred for their faith, not after they physically died and...

I believe it simply means the earth was uninhabitable. Whatever God created that would be able to sustain life was without form, a waste and worthless thing, and void, or an empty space in darkness or void of light until the Spirit moved and within the darkness there was light.

David, why would Amil or any other mil believe Satan's little season is part of the forty two months he is given to persecute the Church on earth? The forty two months comes within time symbolized a thousand years. Satan's little season begins AFTER the thousand years expire.

In Ge 1 God is showing how in the beginning He created all things that are in heaven and on the earth. In Ge 2 God begins saying "¶ Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them." Then in 2:4 God speaks not of creation again, but of the generation(s) that would come...

You're confusing the little season the martyred souls are told they must wait with the little season Satan is given when the seventh angel begins to sound that time shall be no longer. The little season the souls under the altar is given those who have already died in faith. When Satan is given...

I tend to agree. I think Christ was teaching what we call a sermon on the mount corporately. IOW His words are for the whole body that professes to belong to Christ. We are all called to be light and salt in a world filled with darkness that has lost all savor for anything that is good. When...
