Which is greater, the sin of Adam and the fall, or the sin of all who fall short of the glory of God? Your comment above seems to indicate that you view the sin of losing faith by certain members of Adam's descendants as being greater than the great fall of all mankind. But they are the...

No, not contrary at all: John 3:3-8 does not take away what has been given them for having believed, it simply puts it off until the end. Luke 11:13 tells of the gift that is not fully known by those who do not receive it, until the end. Romans 8:8-9 - Indeed, it does not please God that some...

My perspective is not millennial. "The rest of the dead" does not include any of Israel. For them, "It is finished", and they are with Him as "the dead in Christ" who "proceed" "those who are alive and remain." Thus, all "the rest" that remain, are the dead of the gentiles who did not receive...

Revelation 20:5 "But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection." As I have already said, "the rest of the dead" in the above passage refers not to "the dead in Christ" which are with Him and is Israel, and not "the living in...

I have indeed read what you wrote, and it is in what you have written that I have pointed out multiple errors that you have not reconciled with all of scripture, some of which I have pointed out to you. But you are apparently acting on some tangent and now want to get back to it. Again, I will...

You speak as if Jesus has not come already; as if no one has ever testified that they have heard Him knocking and opened the door and even now abide with Him and He with them. There is only one reason that anyone would deny that He has already come...which is not possible for anyone who walks...

All have fallen from the truth, which you now also do by not including the whole word, the whole truth, but are fixated on just part. This too is the believing of a lie.

That is pure conjecture. Peter clearly states that the scope of the promise of God includes everything from the times of the prophets of old, until their fulfillment. As for whether a thousand years or God's grace is forever, it is God who is forever. And if you want to say it is Grace, say it...

These are pillars of error...so, one at a time. I said you are "disregarding" the fact that the falling away began with Adam, but now you are simply omitting it. The passage stands on its own, and is not limited to only those past your perceived time of falling away, but includes all; for "by...

Not literal. But I am not sure what you mean by "symbolic."

The things of God are not for "a thousand years" or "a very long period of time"...they are forever. He spoke of forever... As Peter recognized, "You have the words of eternal life."

1. You are disregarding the fact that the falling away began with Adam. Thus, Paul was referring not to some future falling away, but [the] falling away. 2. Jesus told Israel that the kingdom of God had just then at hand...not for all of Israel's history. 3. You are omitting all of the...

You are missing the point. Which of those passages speaks of the truth with God? Now...how many "thousand years" actually (literally) exist within the kingdom of God? ...If you are still thinking a thousand years with God is as it is with men...you are not at all "rightly dividing the word of...

That is not correct. Such would even condemn "the dead in Christ." Those who "believe" but die physical death, are not condemned. The "rest of the dead" are rather (simply), those who are not dead, but asleep; those that were not apart of the first resurrection, and those who are not "alive and...

There is a great misunderstanding with this thousand year term, that should not be so. Peter clarified the matter...it is not the same meaning for God as it is for men. God has been speaking to children, in the best words for children to understand. But because His thoughts of eternity and...

The words I have made red in your quoted post below are in error: First in [red]: A thousand years with men is not what it is with the God. The term is rather a figure of speech translating the timeless things of God into terms that men can relate to, but spiritually means "forever." Second...

Yeah, I don't really have anything against it, I like people. It just bothers me that people line up to fulfill: Isaiah 29:9-16 9 Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunk, but not with wine; They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink. 10 For the Lord has poured out on...

Church is not a verb. I guess that is the reason I have a dislike for "doing" it--I love it, but "doing" or "playing" church, just rubs me the wrong way. Sometimes, it's so boring! But today I have a new appreciation for it. We're starting a study in First Thessalonians and Paul is winding up...

All who are born of women, that is of water birth, are born of the flesh. All who are born again of the spirit of God, are those who believe, those whom He draws to Himself.

You narrowed the context of Luke 10:18 considerably, leaving out the greater part. If you will widen your scope, you will see that Jesus' comments also referred to the spiritual heaven, and that heaven where the names of the saints are written (verse 20)...which is the third heaven.
