Christ in human form will again be physically seen coming in the clouds in the same manner in which He was seen leaving this earth. That does not take away from Christ coming to man through His Spirit in us. His physical appearance is yet future, but Christ came to us with a Kingdom that is...

I've come to believe the way to properly understand the Olivet Discourse is in realizing the words Christ spoke to His disciples then are applicable to His disciples in every age. And abomination that makes desolate is not limited to the first century AD but is understood (seen) in all...

Preterists do indeed have difficulty with these words that indicate the nearness of Christ. It doesn't even make any sense to suppose "quickly", "shortly", or "near" can be pointing to Christ coming in AD 70 which was some 30 or so years away. How can we make sense of Christ' coming...

I get your point. Mary is the mother of Jesus as He walked the earth in human form. The difference between Jesus and all other humans of course is that He alone was physically born without the human male sperm. That's why He is said to be fully human, while also fully God in the flesh. His...

It seems almost redundant since God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are three yet ONE God. Rhetorical question: Would not baptizing in the name of Christ Jesus equally be baptizing into Father, and Holy Spirit also???

I generally agree. But when I read the word 'all' attached to salvation it seems as though throughout 'all' should simply be understood as not only Jews but all people or Gentiles also can be saved. So I understand the verse as Christ being the Savior of Jews and Gentiles, especially of them...

We don't know that it was. We know only that it is not mentioned.

Both forty and two months and a thousand two hundred and sixty days symbolically represent time. Forty and two months symbolizes time given for tearing down, and a thousand two hundred ans sixty day symbolizes time given for building. Revelation 11:2 (KJV) But the court which is without the...

What is written proves itself that "a thousand years" equates to time when faithful saints are alive on this earth before they physically die. John is NOT seeing resurrected physical bodies that have lived and reigned (past tense) with Christ for ONE thousand literal years. Because NONE will be...

It seems to me you are making much ado over nothing!

That is how I was baptized and how I've witnessed baptism being performed. When one professes to be a disciple of Christ, Christ instructs they be baptized with water in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit so they too may partake with the body of Christ, that is the church, during their...

That's not Christ commanding His disciples to bring people to Him. It is Christ commanding His disciples teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. How do we teach them? By preaching the Gospel which is the power of God unto salvation for whosoever...

I believe you've nailed it! We don't find Scripture telling believers to bring unbelievers to Christ. We are told to take the Gospel unto all people and whosoever believes by grace through faith in the power of the Holy Spirit are eternally saved. Whether we go out with the Gospel or people...

I understand what you're saying Sheila and wish to add, a/the thousand years of Rev 20 symbolizes time. It isn't literally one thousand years as so many try to force into the text. Those of vs 4 John sees in heaven as martyred living souls because in life, or during their lifetimes on this...

Who says the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is all symbolic? Btw symbolism isn't meaningless when you learn what the symbols mean. Revelation becomes absolutely meaningless when one tries to force literalism throughout. For instance, saying chapter 1 is ALL literal. Does anyone really...

I agree, not only one of the strangest but also one of the weakest arguments I've ever seen!

What part of Rev 20 is symbolic and what part is literal? What about the first three verses, what do you interpret symbolically and what do you interpret as literal? Please explain how and why you determine which is which. Let's try committing ourselves to the words written by John in the...

Your logic and reasoning is without merit. The genealogical records contain no symbolism, the times recorded are literally the years for which those written lived and died. The same is NOT true for the Revelation of Jesus Christ. If you argue for literalism of this symbolic book, then there...

You equate quoting verses of Scripture an attempt to make Scripture comply with Amil theology??? Then you quote Scripture in an attempt to make Scripture comply with your theology, whatever that may be???
