Believers before Christ and after Christ are the Church, or the called out ones, belonging to the body of Christ. The only difference was they lived before the advent of Christ, looking forward to His coming, and we who live after the cross, look for His coming the second time to redeem His Church.

The passage tells us the 144,000 are "of all the tribes of the children of Israel". That means they are Israel of faith before the advent of Christ. Because after Christ came there is no longer a distinction made between people of faith. People from all nations of the world who are of faith...

I would say the 144,000 could be included with the innumerable multitude, but the passage tells us the 144,000 are "of all the tribes of the children of Israel". That makes a distinction between Israel of old, before the advent of Christ, and the innumerable multitude from all the nations of...

Your problem is like that of the Jews of old. You're looking for a physical, material Kingdom on this earth. What are we to believe when we read Christ telling us that casting out devils is proof that His Kingdom has come? Matthew 12:28 (KJV) But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God...

The New Testament attests to the FACT the Kingdom is at hand because it has been "at hand" or "near" to whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord since the advent of Christ come to earth a man. Christ came in His Kingdom, and those who believe Him both know and enter into the Kingdom of...

Good question!

Can you please show passage or verse that says Christ will reign UPON the earth?

Is not the nation of Israel the church in the wilderness before the advent of Christ? Would you agree the Bible was written for the Church since Israel of old was the representation of the Church on earth before the advent of Christ? Acts 7:38 (KJV) This is he, that was in the church in the...

You don't see Rev 7 making a distinction between Jews of old (144,000 remnant) and the innumerable multitude who have come out of great tribulation and washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb?

Do you believe that Christ will not come again until His Kingdom is complete?

What I know is that only God can eternally save His people from their sins. If Christ is not Deity, as you claim, then He is not God! I'm glad this seems personal to you! It is my deepest desire to make you see the folly of your doctrine. Who is your Savior, since He is not God?

Neither of us have difficulty understanding when Christ walked upon this earth, He was fully human. It's not His humanity that is in question here. It is His Divinity, His Deity which YOU deny that has become the issue. Because YOU don't understand how our Savior and Lord can be both human...

If the Son of God is not God who is your Savior? Yes, Scripture tells us "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God". Claiming to be the Son of Deity, is the same as claiming to be God. This is why they crucified Him! He rightfully claimed to be I AM. The Jews clearly understood the implications...

Exactly! Where both those who have done good and those who have done evil are resurrected at the same hour that is coming. No separate resurrection for the good, then one thousand years later another resurrection for those who have done evil. At the same hour that is coming all of humanity...

No, actually what the poster said is that the church age has been since the time of Adam. This confuses you because you don't understand the difference between what was before the advent of Christ, the Church on earth, and what the Church has become since the advent of Christ. You believe the...

It's all he/she has! Only God can forgive sins. Since they deny the deity of Christ, they have no Redeemer to pay the penalty for their sins.

But you are the one without the Spirit of truth to teach you these things of God, because you deny the deity of Christ, you have no Savior. Those who wrote the creeds were not confused, YOU ARE! You appear to have head knowledge without heart knowledge, really sad!

Of course, it is a contradiction and meaningless to YOU! Since you have no Savior, you are of the world and have not the Spirit to enlighten your biblical understanding. Apart from the Spirit of truth in you, whom the world without the Savior cannot receive, you cannot understand, nor can you...

Jesus by His Gospel calls all humanity to come out of darkness and death into His light and eternal spiritual life. Paul, speaking to the physically living says apart from Christ we are dead in trespasses and sins? In what way are the physically living DEAD, and yet able to be quickened (made...

Actually we have two comings of Christ. He came to earth a man in the first century AD, and He will come the second time when this Messianic Gospel age, symbolized a thousand years is finished.
