I agree that at this time, or on this earth a spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven is being spiritually built through the power of the Gospel and Holy Spirit. That Kingdom NOW is a spiritual Kingdom we enter in when we have been born again. And because we who are of faith, believe in Christ we...

That's mere speculation by you David. Because you cannot prove the assumption by the number of days Adam lived. I do believe God, and since you have not proven what you assume, I cannot agree that God has given you alone this revelation. blessings

When Paul speaks these words "but each in his own order" he is speaking of what has become of those who had already died before Christ came. Paul tells us they have not perished because Christ has resurrected from the dead! Christ is the firstfruits of "them that slept". IOW since Christ has...

We are spiritually raised ALIVE, each one of us in his/her order of death because Christ has resurrected from the dead and defeated death for all who have spiritual life through Him before they die. This is NOT the resurrection that shall be bodily on the last day when the last trump sounds...

When Paul writes, "but each one in his own order" he is NOT speaking of the rapture of our bodies in an hour coming, when the last trump sounds, when Christ returns. Paul is speaking of the raising of the dead in Christ after their bodies have died. The instruction from Paul regarding those...

Again, don't know what you're talking about! I said "Our spirit when indwelt with the Spirit from Christ NEVER dies, so our spirit doesn't have to be resurrected because it never dies." When our body dies our spirit, through Christ's Spirit in us leaves our mortal body and returns to God alive...

I don't believe Christ was referring to the end of the world, but the end of life for those who endure until they die. This is not limited to first century disciples, but applicable to disciples in every age. Matthew 24:13-14 (KJV) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be...

A bare grain is how Paul describes being raised a spiritual body. Just as a grain or seed must grow to maturity before it becomes wheat, so too after our natural physical body dies, we become spiritual, and will not be a complete living soul again until our spirit and our body is returned to...

Yes, our natural, physical bodies are mortal and corruptible, dishonorable and weak. Which is why our physical bodies must be resurrected immortal & incorruptible. But the spirit in man, without the Spirit of Christ will die with the physical bodies that shall be cast into the lake of fire...

What is a physical, spiritual body? Mankind is made of both body, and spirit which together we are living souls. Our spirit does not cease to be spirit when our physical body dies. Paul writes there is BOTH a natural body and a spiritual body, but they are NOT the same body. Natural, physical...

Since the world known in the first century had heard the Gospel of the Kingdom, it's clear (to me at least) vs 14 is applicable to the first century disciples. But it is also necessary that the Gospel is preached "for a witness unto all nations." That could not have happened before nations...

With your understanding of Biblical doctrines you bring much insight to every discussion you participate in.

I love to study Scripture, it brings me great comfort! So whatever doctrine is being discussed, it seems we eventually discover that no doctrine of Scripture is isolated, all doctrine must be seen as a cohesive whole. Discussing one doctrine will almost always invariably lead to the others...

His coming/nearness/presence 'parousia' is through His Spirit in us and shall be Christ again physically with us when He comes again.

I agree. I will come to you is translated from "érchomai" which means - to come or go (in a great variety of applications, literally and figuratively):— accompany or appear.

Before Christ departed, He breathed on them saying, "Receive ye the Holy Ghost". John 20:22 (KJV) And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: What they did not have, or even know they would have is POWER from on high when the Spirit is...

Matthew 28:18 (KJV) And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Good point! In truth we are spiritually resurrected while physically alive. Which is, "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;" (Eph 2:1). Since in life we have been made spiritually alive, it is true our spirit then shall never die. That's why Paul says, " It is...

Other than claiming that Amillennialism is truth, I never lay claim to any specific eschatological perspective. I do however believe that what is written in Scripture not only became past history is also coming to pass throughout redemptive history. Not sure if that makes me a historicist...

You APPEAR to deny these prophetic words Christ spoke of utter destruction came to pass in AD70???? That destruction both before it came and after, speak somewhat exclusively to first century AD disciples. That is not to say things pertaining to them then were written to be an example for the...
