I never said we were, nor do I believe we are.

Yes, they could have lived forever if they had not lost access to the tree of life. I don't believe a part of God's Spirit was breathed into them. I believe what Scripture affirms. God from earth/clay formed man from dust, and breathed into them the breath of life, that is divine...

This is true. But remember also that they, unlike we mortals coming after them were created from the dust of the earth, and their life breath (spirit) came directly from God, supernaturally. With the Spirit (breath of life) in them they could have lived forever if they had not disobeyed God...

I don't believe the Bible teaches the Father views those who are in Christ according to His grace through the gift of faith as DEAD to Him because of sin. We WERE the walking dead before we heard the Gospel, and by grace through faith in the power of the Word and Spirit we believed! We who...

This is a clear indication of reading one's doctrine into the text rather than allowing the text to inform one's doctrine.

Before spewing more venom look carefully at the question mark you seem not to have noticed. I have never said that "we are already the new earth"! Your lack of carefully reading is that which is truly Laughable! Why would God resurrect the faithful from the graves to physical immortality and...

Christ says, "I make all things new" (Rev 21:5). That tells me nothing will be as it became after the fall of mankind but will once more be as it was at creation "very good". To be made new is to be without sin for those who were, not are, dead in trespasses and sins. We are not waiting to...

I believe in this message John used symbolism of things familiar to him to teach spiritual truth. Similar to the way Christ used parables. For me to make sense of this chapter it helped to go back to chapter 10:8-11. John is told to take a little book; many believe to be the Word of God; the...

Since Gentry holds to the view of an early writing of the book of Revelation (Pre AD 70), his eschatological position in my humble opinion is not biblically sound.

Not exactly! Do you believe this is or shall be literally fulfilled?

Well, I'm not surprised. Since you can't biblically refute, you resort to smear tactics, it's really very common here. You disparage a doctrine you clearly don't really understand.

I know what Preterism believes. However historical record affirms Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed then whether Preterits believe it or not. So continually calling/comparing Reformed Doctrine to Preterism is fundamentally untrue.

Yes, I understand that is your opinion! But I notice you offer no biblical proof texts for this opinion.

Every human body is destined to die physically. Every human body after death returns to dust of the earth. The only exception shall be those of faith who are still alive at the coming of Jesus the second time. Genesis 3:19 (KJV) In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou...

This is silly! History, not Preterism proves historical fulfillment of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple of old. Believing historical fact does not make one an adherent to Preterism.

There will be only one bodily resurrection of the saints, and ALL that are in the graves. When the saints are resurrected, they will be changed from mortal to immortal, which means they will never again physically die. The saints still alive upon the earth during Satan's "little season" shall...

That's not Preterist that's knowing historical FACTS!

The spiritually dead are being instructed now, in this age of time, since the first advent of Christ we enter the Kingdom of God according to grace through faith when we hear the Gospel and believe in Christ. Before being born again by the power of the Gospel and Holy Spirit we were spiritually...

David, I'm basing my opinion on my observations of our discussions here. It's not that you are being dishonest with me, but with yourself. The Bible presents Christ as the first resurrection of the dead that man must have part in before they die, which can only be achieved by being born again...
