    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Bob, Daniel explains the dream for Nebuchadnezzar. The chopped down tree, according to Daniel represented King Nebuchadnezzar, whose Kingdom had become so powerful that the king saw himself to be as a god. Therefore, the God of heaven would take the kingdom from him and for seven years he...

    After the Devil is Cast Out

    A separate thought would not begin with 'and'. You cannot arbitrarily detach this verse from its context to force an unbiblical doctrine. The entire chapter is one continuous thought of all that came upon the earth with the birth of the Christ child. Only one verse (12) does not begin with...

    After the Devil is Cast Out

    What does this have to do with when/if Satan has been or shall be cast out of heaven to the earth? Don't know how you understand Scripture, but very clearly John writes in Rev 12 that when the Christ child was born there was a war in heaven between Michael and his angels and Satan and his...

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    I find only one place in Rev 20 where a/the thousand years equates to TIME. There is NOWHERE in Scripture that proves there will be ONE thousand more years of TIME after Christ comes again. You have nothing but Rev 20 which shows a thousand years equate to time when living saints both lived...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    The Old Covenant people called Israel belong to the Israel of God according to faith. Those of Old who believed the prophesy of the Messiah who would come demonstrated faith. The Old Covenant people heard the Gospel through the prophets in the same way all people hear the Gospel as the Church...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    All who are born again of the Spirit are the "Israel of God" Bob! I don't know where you get the idea that only 'some' are of the Israel of God? There is only ONE faithful people spiritually in the Kingdom of God, and it does not matter what ethnic persuasion they are. All believers are of...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    It's one thing to speak of the identity of God, but it's altogether something offensive to most Christians to speak of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior as anything less than God!

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    I agree the Israel of God is indeed the Church Bob. The spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven was in force when the Christ child was born. And because of the war that took place in heaven when Michael and his angels cast Satan and his angels out of heaven and to the earth we read of a loud voice...

    After the Devil is Cast Out

    Yes, as written in Job, Satan had access to both heaven and earth before the birth of Christ, when he and his angels were forever cast out of heaven by Michael and his angels. It's Satan's access to heaven that ended when he was cast down to the earth.

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Elie, The physical death for the unrighteous is eternal when they are cast alive into the burning lake with body and soul. Once the soul is destroyed eternally the unrighteous will never live again. Matthew 10:28 (KJV) And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the...

    What JESUS Taught Us At The Last Supper = John 13;3-5

    Elie, I've already shown with Scripture what and when "great tribulation" is and began. On Judgment Day it will be too late for any to be saved, for then the Kingdom of God will be complete, and believers will be resurrected to immortality and incorruption to be with Christ on the new earth...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    This is not truth Elie! The bodily resurrection in the hour coming is either eternal life for the just, or damnation for the unjust. You are defending a lie Elie. The Bible is very clear men die once, and after this the judgment. And only those "many" who look for His second coming shall He...

    What JESUS Taught Us At The Last Supper = John 13;3-5

    Elie, the great tribulation comes as the Gospel is proclaimed unto all the world. Great tribulation/persecution began against the Church on earth as She faithfully went forth with the Gospel. The innumerable multitude in heaven is a picture of ALL the redeemed in heaven, after they have come...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Elie, the resurrection of both the just and the unjust is the just are resurrected to life, and the unjust resurrected to damnation. There is no in-between stage. In this age before we die we must receive Christ as our eternal Savior, we must be born again, or at the resurrection we will be...

    What JESUS Taught Us At The Last Supper = John 13;3-5

    But you don't seem to understand. When we are in Christ, that is from the moment we believe, and have the Spirit of Christ in us we have overcome already and are spiritually in the Kingdom of God. When Christ comes the second time, there will not be another one thousand years of time given...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Because I believe Christ Bob! I believe Him when He says, "Whosoever lives and believes in Me shall NEVER die." If death of our body means death of our spirit as well, meaning we are no longer a living spiritual soul after physical death, then we must reject the words of Christ because He...

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    The spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven has always been represented by the Church on earth. The Church that began of old through the nation of Israel, which began to be "the Church in the wilderness." (Acts 7:38) The Kingdom of God, represented by the Church on earth was indeed taken from the...

    Another Premillennial absurdity

    More opinion, with no supporting Scripture! So typical of all Premillennialists! Answering your unbiblical opinions would be an exercise in futility! If you wish to discuss biblical truths, you have to actually use the Scriptures to prove what you allege to be truth.

    Thank you for the kind words, Marty.

    What JESUS Taught Us At The Last Supper = John 13;3-5

    I think the real confusion comes from lacking understanding of the difference between 'spirit' and 'soul'. Every living creature has both a spirit and until physical death is a living soul. Having a spirit means we have a mind that controls every physical bodily function. Through the spirit in...
