Why do you equate 930 years the man Adam lived to one thousand literal years? Do you believe that because the years of Adams life were literally 930 years, a/the thousand years must also be literal years?

Since you are so sure your doctrine is true, you should be able to show why the doctrine of a/the thousand years I've given in not true? At least then we could have a discussion. It profits neither you nor I to simply continue to say you know but I do not. If a/the thousand years are...

I don't know what you talking about, and I don't see this connection you seem to see between Gen 5 and Rev 20?

Where does Scripture say that in this life Christians will not suffer persecution when preaching the Gospel? As I said, Christ is NOT ruling over those of the nations who oppose Him. Christ rules and reigns over His people from His Kingdom in heaven now. The kingdoms of this world will not be...

Christ gives His people power over the nations and He rules them with a rod of iron NOW, in this age of time. The way we have power over the nations is through the Word of God, the Gospel and power of the Holy Spirit in believers. Christ is not ruling and reigning now over the nations of this...

David, this seems a bit of a cop out to me, hope you don't mind my saying that. Would it not be more profitable to me to simply show me how you've come to understand the age of Adam proves there will be one thousand literal years? I've been clear about how I have come to understand a/the...

What is the great commission JW's take so seriously? The good news of the Kingdom of God is found in Christ alone, and the only entrance into the Kingdom is to be born again of the Holy Spirit. But we only access new birth by believing that Christ is God! Because God only gives new birth...

Yes, I've learned from experience that JW's are very well trained and very good at what they believe to be witnessing for Christ. The main problem is that JW's do NOT believe Christ is God! When I learned that JW's deny the deity of Christ, I realized they have no Savior because only God can...

Explain please. How does Adams lifespan prove one thousand literal years for having lived and reigned with Christ, as well as one thousand years for those who shall reign with Christ? I don't get the point you are trying to make?

We know it is about the Church because the letters are addressed to Her. What was the mandate Christ gave His disciples (Church) before He departed from this earth? Wasn't it to go into all the world and preach the Gospel? When the Gospel is proclaimed in the power of the Spirit people are...

Then please provide the verses from Scripture that prove this opinion? It is not found in Genesis.

It isn't necessary to live for a thousand literal years because a thousand years symbolizes TIME in which every human lives in. To have lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years symbolizes having lived and reigned with Christ during time. Not a thousand literal years but in TIME.

Yes, this too is key to understanding a/the thousand years symbolize time for preaching the Gospel. When this symbolic time expires Satan is set free for a little season on this earth AFTER the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven is complete. The ultimate purpose for Satan being set free is so...

I've already explained how I see it in this thread. A/the thousand years equates symbolically to TIME the Church is given to proclaim the Gospel unto all the nations of the world to build the spiritual Kingdom of God as people hear the Gospel and through the power of the Spirit believe Christ...

Patrick it very plainly says "ALL IN CHRIST" shall be made alive! Just as it says "ALL in Adam die" so too ALL in Christ shall be made alive. In life we shall either die in Adam without Christ, OR we shall die in Christ to have eternal spiritual life through Him. 1 Timothy 4:10 (KJV) For...

How does that explain a thousand years being literal or symbolic?

Symbolizing TIME given the Church on earth to proclaim the Gospel unto all the nations of the earth so the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven could be completed.

That verse doesn't say Christ's Kingdom will not come until the seventh trumpet sounds. It says the kingdoms of this world become of our Lord. Christ proves by His miracles that His Kingdom has come and is within you when He came to earth a man. Luke 11:20 (KJV) But if I with the finger of...

They won't be made physically alive again until an hour coming when the seventh trumpet sounds. The martyred saints did not have to come to physical life AGAIN to reign with Christ for a thousand years. Because they LIVED (past tense) and REIGNED (past tense) with Christ for a thousand years...

Who is the overcomer? First and foremost it's Christ! How are the faithful saints also overcomers through Christ? 1 John 2:13-14 (KJV) I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I...
