    Lake of fire

    Hell in the New Testament is translated from two Greek words: (1) géenna - defined as ge-henna (or Ge-Hinnom), a valley of Jerusalem, and used (figuratively) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment (2) háidēs - "Hades" or the place (state) of departed souls: grave, hell...

    Incorrect! Prove what you allege using Scripture rather than opinion???

    Lake of fire

    Yes, and the sin that condemns us eternally is that of unbelief. From which there shall be no escape for whosoever dies in unbelief, shall be cast into the lake of fire that is the second death, never to know life again.

    Lake of fire

    How can the lake of fire be a kind of purgatory since it is the "second death"? Those who are cast into the lake of fire shall never again know life since the second death will be not only of the body but also of the soul. If there is no soul, there is no life. Matthew 10:28 (KJV) And fear not...

    Lake of fire

    Yes, Patrick, God shows no favoritism toward any particular nation of people. He will save all people who believe in all the nations of the world. This is not different than what is written in 1Tim 2. Again and again the Bible makes this distinction to prove salvation through our Lord is not...

    Lake of fire

    Death of the physical body that goes into the grave (hades) is utterly destroyed in the lake of fire that is the second death. Hell is throughout Scripture used interchangeably with the physical place of the dead and the place of eternal torment. That's because for the one who goes into the...

    Lake of fire

    Jesus seeks and saves the lost, and whosoever is found of Him shall have eternal (never ending) life through Him. But as has already been stated not all shall be found for on judgment day those who remain in unbelief shall hear the Lord telling them “Then He will say to those on his left...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Yes the Lord is in His spiritual realm! What you fail to understand is that when we have partaken of Christ in life we too are SPIRITUALLY living and reigning with Him. It does not matter whether we are physically alive or that we have died, we shall never again be separated from the Lord...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    The martyred souls are indeed in heaven. How did they get there? They lived and reigned with Christ in TIME, for which a thousand years equates before they died. It is because they were already spiritually alive in Christ when they died, they as living souls ascended to heaven after they were...

    Lake of fire

    Notice again the verse below. It clearly says that every human shall die once, after that the judgment. Where can we find verses to prove people still have opportunity to accept Christ after death? Hebrews 9:27 (KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment...

    Lake of fire

    Carefully notice the verse below. Jesus came to earth to save not ALL people, but HIS people from their sins. The fact the lake of fire exists is proof that not ALL people shall be HIS saved people. Matthew 1:21 (KJV) And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Yes, you continue to repeat this, but have not yet biblically proven what you allege? It's fine to have an opinion about Bible doctrine, we all have opinions, but unless we can prove through the Word of God that our opinions are biblical, they remain our opinion and should be re-considered.

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    You may be ignorant of what I'm talking about, but what tactics exactly? Mankind is created with a spirit (breath of life) and a body (dust of the earth) and together they are called "living souls." We are only complete living souls, which every living breathing creature on earth is, when we...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    No, I agree time does not exist in eternity. But the martyred saints lived and reigned with Christ in TIME (a thousand years), before they entered into the eternal Kingdom of God in heaven, where they are now reigning with Him without TIME forever.

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    I'm glad to see you agree! When time given this earth shall be no more, the age to come shall be eternal, and therefore no more time. Time is written symbolically a thousand years so that none can ascertain when the end of this age and the Lord returns shall be.

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Is or is not the Gospel of Christ proclaimed unto all the world in TIME? Man hears and responds or not to the Gospel during their lifetime on earth where TIME presently exists. The martyred saints are spiritually alive in heaven as "living souls" because during their time on this earth they...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    The spiritual realm of God is eternal, everlasting, never ending! Therefore, in the spiritual realm there is not existence of TIME.

    No it isn't! It says one day is AS a thousand years and a thousand years AS one day. It says exactly NOWHERE that one day IS a thousand years.

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    This is where you've totally gone in the wrong direction. This does not say one day IS a thousand years as you attempt to make it. This passage proves that God is not limited by time, whether long (a thousand years) or short (one day), His Kingdom will be completed as His Gospel is proclaimed...
