    Paul claimed 3 times that Rev 20:4 was a current reality.

    That is not a proper or accurate definition of Preterist beliefs. The Preterists believed that Christ had already returned (past tense) and that it was a done deal, meaning that since then everyone else has missed His return. Paul addressed that, and also explained what is actually true, first...

    The Millennial Kingdom

    You're putting the breaks on. "It's enough." I get the hint. It is a shame however. We have gone to the deep end, and you are back peddling. While I have revealed things that have never fully been explained before, you have retreated to what has only been believed based on "opinion." I'm not...

    The Millennial Kingdom

    I am not angry. But you are still referring to darkness as light. But what is written--does it not say that this "tent is destroyed", and that there is "no shadow of turning" in the presence of God--meaning no casting of shadows, as is true of the flesh? Did Jesus not cast a shadow after He...

    Peter the Rock?

    What I say here, I did not learn from men, nor have I spoken what is my own. The history of which began with Peter who did not come by the knowledge of who Christ was by "flesh and blood...but My Father who is in heaven." It is the "same level as Abraham and Jacob", that Jesus has done for all...

    The Millennial Kingdom

    When Peter spoke his own opinion, Jesus rebuked him, saying "Satan, get behind Me." But when Peter did not speak his own opinion, but the Holy Spirit spoke through him, it was written as the word of God.

    The Millennial Kingdom

    No contradiction. Your observation just proves that Jesus was God, saying in effect that as "One" with the Father, He was including Himself in the "Us" who made man in their image, and all things manifest to be seen of men.

    The Millennial Kingdom

    It is written "while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight." Which does not mean that Jesus "disappeared", except to those of this world, for He also then appeared to each whom He received unto Himself. As for Jesus returning "out of body"--no I did not say...

    The Millennial Kingdom

    It would appear that you mean to say that the Father and the Holy Spirit are spirit, but the Son is not...or at least that the Son is also flesh. Which is not true, as "the flesh returns to the dust" (and in the end is "dissolved" with the elements). If that is not what you mean to say, please...

    Thank you as well...but I do not dabble in opinion. Blessings--all is well!

    The Millennial Kingdom

    We already are (in our flesh bodies). That is...as Jesus also "was" before His ascension. However, John saying we would be "like Him" did not mean that we would be what he had already known of Jesus, but rather what "has not yet been revealed", just as he said. Which is to say, "as He is" and...

    The Millennial Kingdom

    That misses the point that God is not flesh, but spirit, and that our purposed future is to be One with Him and "like Him." There is nothing metaphoric about it. Revelation 21:23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its...

    The Millennial Kingdom

    God has presented us with the flesh vs. the spirit (Himself), as if we are to weigh them in our own hands and choose between them. I see that we are much in agreement. Grace and peace to you as well!

    The Millennial Kingdom

    Those are all reasonable assumptions, nonetheless incorrect. Assumptions of the flesh. The overarching reality however, is that all those events are mere manifestations or public revelations of what was already true "before the foundation of the world." So, citing their chronology after the...

    The Millennial Kingdom

    These are big issues, so I will address them one at a time: The "change" however, is not from sinful flesh to unsinful flesh, but from darkness to light--the light of God...which does not transform sinful flesh, it "dissolves" it, just as is true of all the "elements." As He warned, "Therefore...

    Is Reality an Illusion?

    No...God being spirit--that is a godly idea. But you bring up a good point regarding Jesus having "the same flesh as we do." That is a major stumbling block, and just about as backward as can be. To the contrary, we should understand that Jesus' being born of this same flesh was Him being born...

    The Millennial Kingdom

    To be clear, God who is "perfect", lacking nothing--is spirit. So, to believe or campaign for an eternal future for the body of flesh which is at war with God...is just the flesh talking--by the power of Satan. In other words, although it is hard to imagine from our current perspective, there...

    The Millennial Kingdom

    If I may interject... Man was brought forth by God from the dust of the earth--so was the Son of man. That is the body that was raised from the dead, and as it is written, "the body returns to the dust, and spirit to God who gave it." Meaning, there was no glorification of the flesh to...

    The Millennial Kingdom

    If " the great city" is "spiritually" "called Sodom and Egypt"...then surely these things are all subject to translation by the Spirit. Go figure--each of the messages to the churches is followed by Jesus, saying, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." And...

    Is Reality an Illusion?

    When we ask the big questions of life, like what is life all about, etc., and realize that this is not all there is...then it helps to understand that this would be reality is not the best measure of what is actually real or important. For example, if we can imagine downward from our own world...

    Is Reality an Illusion?

    The reason God has created this simulation world is written. It is a revelation or a witness and revealing of the man of sin--us, before the Judgment. This is the reading of our last will and testament.
