The context presents a thousand years is both past and future? How do you explain that?

Doesn't it make sense to understand Christians through Christ's Spirit in us rule and reign in life by His Word? IOW we obediently obey the mandate from Christ to preach the Gospel unto all the nations of the world. And through the Gospel the nations are judged, because the Gospel is the power...

How do you reconcile reigning with Christ a thousand years in the future with those of vs 4 who have already lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years? If this isn't speaking of the same thousand years, how many separate thousand-year periods of time will there be?

Scripture tells us there will not be a bodily resurrection before an hour coming when the last/seventh trumpet sounds. Because none will be made perfect until all are perfected together. Hebrews 11:39-40 (KJV) And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the...

How do you envision Christians ruling over the nations? Isn't Christ the One ordained to rule over the nations now, since His ascension to heaven through His Church on earth? Re 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as...

Rev 20:4 speaks of a thousand years when the martyred saints "lived and reigned" with Christ. IOW in life, before they were martyred for their faith they lived and reigned with Christ. Then Rev 20:6 speaks of those who shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with him a thousand...

Yes, sadly, I know! I don't really expect to change his mind, although I can hope! I reply to some in these forums hoping to show how easily error can creep in if we aren't on guard. Thanks

Exactly! It's not that when we are saved we shall never sin again! When we are born again we are no longer in bondage to sin, Christians can choose to turn away from sin. The power sin has in man has been broken once we have been saved by Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit in us...

Because when one is IN Christ they are eternally alive. You quote the verse, but completely miss what Paul is saying! Just as being IN Adam, which is to have physical life, so to being IN Christ is to have eternal spiritual life IN Him. In the same way since ALL of humanity is physically IN...

Telling the truth is NOT attacking! Nor is it a weak defense! JW's wouldn't be offended if they had truth.

If the lake of fire is restorative, why is it called the second death? Christ tells us that death in the fire destroys not only our body but also our soul, what is left of man cast there to restore? Revelation 20:14-15 (KJV) And death and hell (grave) were cast into the lake of fire. This...

JW's are always suggesting they alone have the right translation, therefore claiming "mistranslation" in faithful translations of Holy Writ. There is NOT mistranslation! Rather there is misunderstanding. As I've already said the sign of His coming or His presence as you prefer was fulfilled at...

When will the tabernacle of God be with man? Will it be on this earth, that is destined to fiery destruction, or on the new earth after this first earth has passed away? Revelation 21:1-2 (KJV) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed...

That's funny! Because I believe you profess Christ and promote Zionism. It is you who is too wrapped up in saving ALL ethnic Israel to rightly divide the Scriptures. That's why you cannot let go of ALL Israel saved being ethnic even though Paul clearly says they shall not be saved without the...

When I speak to other Christians who do not deny Christ is God, I indeed do give biblical answers to them. You come with another gospel, one that does not save, and another savior who is not God, and expect us to believe you are trying to reason from the Scriptures? Biblical truth comes...

Why cannot you show where Paul says that the blindness in part in removed after the fullness of Gentiles be come in? You can't show it because it Paul NEVER says it!!! If Paul had said that ALL ethnic Israel shall be saved, after having already said that not all who are of Israel are Israel...

Who are Jehovah's Witnesses that we should pay any attention to anything you teach as biblical? How can JW's possibly know the things of God that must be spiritually discerned. As I've said already JW's have no Saviour because you deny the deity of Christ. If Christ is not God you cannot have...

It seems these questions may be too difficult for him???

It must be written with invisible ink??? Because I don't read Paul saying " after the fullness of the Gentiles come in, blindness in part is removed from Israel". That's what you read into the text to promote erroneous doctrine, because Paul nowhere says that. You appear to be confusing...

There is nothing here worthy of response! You have not truth because you have not the Spirit from Christ in you! Wasting time on your replies is an exercise in futility!
