    The second Death.. Did you know that there was one?

    Both of those views do not align with God's Word The Bible. Per Eccl.12:5-7, once our flesh body dies, it goes back to the material matter of the earth where it came from. But our 'spirit' from God goes back to Him. We no longer need our flesh body once it is dead. Christ's resurrection was...

    If no Rapture - then what ?

    Let's go back to the beginning as to what you state your beliefs on the rapture are. The Greek word for "caught up" in 1 Thess.4 is 'harpazo', which means 'to sieze'. Greek 'harpazo' is used in different situations within The New Testament though. Paul also used 'harpazo' in 2 Cor.12 about...

    Which part of Revelation 17-18 does not fit USA?

    I never claimed to know it all, but it's certainly not difficult to surpase the limited understanding some here have about what's going on. Those who actually have studied all of God's Word for theirselves can easily distinguish those who have not. It's as simple as that. Nor do I have the time...

    Covenant Relationships & the Bible as Literature

    I never said you were a 'secularist'. Yet that's what a 'milk' teaching of God's Word today basically amounts to. The only proper way to cover what the Book of Matthew is really about is by doing it line upon line. The LORD knows there's already enough individualist study Bibles on today's...

    The second Death.. Did you know that there was one?

    Not how that's meant. Jesus was talking about the resurrection of the flesh born being like the state of angels, but in relation to flesh death, not the "second death". The "second death" is how even the image of the heavenly can be destroyed (Rev.20:14-15). The abode of hell is in the heavenly...

    Who created evil and death?

    if that were true then it would mean this present world today... is PERFECT, since it contains both good and... evil, and if perfect already, then no need for the world to come. Can evil exist in God's future Kingdom in the new heavens and a new earth? No, which is why Apostle Peter said...

    Covenant Relationships & the Bible as Literature

    I would warn brethren about the above approach, which is a type of secular approach, because it is a very limited 'milk' view of The Four Gospel Books and Bible in general. In the Book of Matthew, the geneaological list of Matt.1 is real and historical, but it is NOT Christ's bloodline lineage...

    Which part of Revelation 17-18 does not fit USA?

    Where are you guys getting your education now a days? There is no sequence or timeline in Revelation??? The WHOLE Book of Revelation has a timeline sequence beginning from the days of the early Churches all the way to Christ's second coming, then His future thousand years reign, and then God's...

    "The Outsiders" of Rev 22

    For your accusation to be true, you'd first have to prove it by the Scripture. You haven't done that, but have only thrown out opinion. If you're so sure what I've said about this matter is just my opinion, then prove it by the Scripture instead of just casting suppositions that have nothing to...

    Apostasy:

    Now that's funny, especially that part in bold. Just so others here know, Amillenialism is about the REJECTION that Christ Jesus will return to reign a "thousand years" on this earth with His elect priests and kings. It is essentially a complete... rejection of the events of Revelation 20, and...

    "The Outsiders" of Rev 22

    I'm just trying to tell you the truth about it. You're not the only one swayed by traditions on how to approach the reading of our Lord's Book of Revelation. The reason I 'know' that's what is influencing your thinking is by your inability to understand that all the wicked are destroyed at the...

    Christ will come again

    Peter's "elements" do not mean the earthly material elements like the elements of the atomic weight table. You have to look up the Greek word there for "elements" in 2 Pet.3:10. It means an orderly arrangement. It is put for this world time and man's works being destroyed off the earth. This...

    "The Outsiders" of Rev 22

    What you're doing is allowing those who told you how to look at Revelation to sway you to 'their' thinking. Not every event written in Revelation is in the sequence it happens. It's a huge mistake to think that everything written there is. Our Lord's Revelation is given more in the style of...

    Speculating on ... "the lie" ... (endtimes)

    Yes of course that part is true per Scripture. In OT times they are the subject of the "workers of iniquity". Per Apostle Paul in 2 Thess.2, that's his subject of the "mystery of iniquity". It's about Satan's followers here on earth since Cain murdered Abel. This is where men's doctrines are...

    Is there opportunity to repent after death?

    Christ Jesus gave an example of the state after flesh death at the end of Luke 16 with the story of Lazarus and the rich man. Both wound up in Paradise, with Lazarus on one side across a great fixed gulf, and the rich man was taken to the abode of hell where he was torments. That kind of...

    no one knoweth the day or the hour

    Then you must be able to explain this... Rev 3:2-6 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not...

    "The Outsiders" of Rev 22

    Stop and think about it; God's Great White Throne Judgment and the "lake of fire" of Rev.20 destroys all the wicked. They will not see God's Eternity. So how can Rev.22:14-15 be about the new heavens and new earth timing? It's not for the reason that the wicked are still present, but in a...

    Is there opportunity to repent after death?

    There will... be an opportunity for some to believe on Christ Jesus after... they die in the flesh. That is one of the things Christ's future "thousand years" reign is for. Because of the station in life and consequences many have been born into, not everyone has had 'their' opportunity to...

    The second Death.. Did you know that there was one?

    But there's more... Just what KIND of death is that "second death"? What dies? Flesh? No. The future "lake of fire" event of Rev.20 is a type of death to one's soul and spirit. That is HOW Satan and the wicked will perish, and be no more. This is the kind of death our Lord Jesus was speaking...

    "The Outsiders" of Rev 22

    Come on now, you mean you guys never read about the "outer darkness" our Lord Jesus taught (Matt.8:12; Matt.22:13; Matt.25:30)?? The Rev.22:14-15 Scripture is Christ's Milennium reign timing. It is not... the new heavens and new earth timing which is later. Both Rev.20 and Zechariah 14 reveals...
