    What is "Parousia"?

    You really need to look in the mirror!

    After the Devil is Cast Out

    Yes, he is way out of order!

    What is "Parousia"?

    Yes, that's because the spiritual life we receive in Christ through His Spirit is eternal! If it were not Christ would not have told us that whosoever lives and believes in Him shall never die. All of humanity is appointed to die, but since the life we receive through Christ is not physical...

    What is "Parousia"?

    Scripture says otherwise! Before Christ were you not born alive physically, yet spiritually dead in trespasses and sins? Ephesians 2:1 (KJV) And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Ephesians 2:5 (KJV) Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with...

    What is "Parousia"?

    When you point your finger of accusations against others, how many of your own fingers are pointing back at yourself David? Is there no limit to your arrogance? Most often those who stand in judgment against others are the ones guilty of doing that which they accuse of others. You would do...

    What is "Parousia"?

    Why did you stop at vs 7? If you continue to read we discover the thousand years (which btw equates to time given the Church during this age of time for proclaiming the Gospel to all the world) of time end and Satan is loosed to come against the saints one last time for his "little season" when...

    What is "Parousia"?

    Revelation 20:5 (KJV) But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. The verse above shows a double negative. It reads the dead lived not lived because both 'lived' and 'again' are translated from the Greek word anazao...

    What is "Parousia"?

    There is no death for the faithful in Christ because Christ promises whosoever lives and believes in Him shall NEVER die. (Jo 11:26) Christ spoke these words to the sister of Lazarus, who had already physically died. That would be a clear contradiction of Scripture if we did not realize the...

    What is "Parousia"?

    Chapter and verse please. Faithful saints will enter into heaven as living (spirit) soul when our physical body dies. The body of the faithful is dead and buried, but we in spiritual body go to heaven where we will be until Christ returns the second time to resurrect and change our mortal...

    What is "Parousia"?

    A thousand years equate to TIME. I believe a sound biblical argument is that the thousand years symbolize time given the universal Church on this earth to proclaim the Gospel of Christ through the power of His Spirit until the spiritual Kingdom of God is complete.

    What is "Parousia"?

    Hebrews 9:27-28 (KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Men (human race) are appointed once to die, after...

    After the Devil is Cast Out

    Exactly! Before being cast out of heaven when Christ was born, and bound to this earth Satan had the ability to go back and forth from heaven to earth.

    After the Devil is Cast Out

    When was the war in heaven? If you begin with vs 1 of Rev 12 you can understand it took place when the man child who was to rule the world with a rod of iron was born of a woman. Revelation 12:1-2 (KJV) And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon...

    What is "Parousia"?

    When the seventh angel begins to sound time given this earth for proclaiming the Gospel of Christ unto all the world shall be no longer. That means there will NOT be another one thousand years of more time given to this earth for man to obtain eternal life through Christ. Revelation 10:5-7...

    What is "Parousia"?

    The Scripture speaks of a first resurrection that man must have part of to overcome the second death. The first resurrection is what man must have part of in TIME while he/she lives on this earth. The first resurrection is spiritual when we are made spiritually alive through the Spirit of...

    What is "Parousia"?

    What you fail to understand is that there cannot be contradictions found in Scripture. The Word is clear all mortal men are appointed to die once before the Judgment. You can spin this FACT any way you wish, but that does not mean that mortal men still physically alive when Christ comes the...

    What is "Parousia"?

    Which is why He must take away our mortal flesh and put on believers immortal and incorruptible bodies so that believers shall be like Him. Just as Christ overcame physical death by His bodily resurrection, to never die again, so too He rids believers of bodies of death, replacing them with...

    What is "Parousia"?

    When you are no longer locked in unbelief and stop trying to force the Bible to support unbiblical doctrines then maybe God will grant you knowledge of truth.

    What is "Parousia"?

    Yes, and as I quoted the Scripture DEATH is swallowed up in victory when the mortal, corruptible body has been raised up and changed to immortal and incorruptible when the last trump sounds. Until this mortal is given immortal and incorruptible bodies he/she is still destined to death. We...

    What is "Parousia"?

    Yes, I agree. Every believer still alive when the Lord returns the second time will in the twinkling of an eye be changed from mortal, corruptible bodies of death to immortal, incorruptible bodies fit for eternity on the new earth. It is in this manner that death is swallowed up in victory...
