Tell me how non-literal entities like the beast and the locusts can be imprisoned in a literal place. That is correct, at least in terms of it being a literal lake of fire. Unless you think death can be cast into a literal lake of fire somehow (Rev 20:14)? Whatever it represents, it has to do...

Peter indicated that he was living in the last days and the last days are still going on now since they represent the time period during which people call on the name of the Lord and are saved and have the Holy Spirit poured out on them (Joel 2:28-32, Acts 2:16-21). The last days will end when...

Oh, yes, you are the Chosen One to correct everyone else. Get out of here with your nonsense. That verse you referenced is not referring to the thief's bodily resurrection. It's referring to his soul and spirit going to paradise. I take it you believe in soul sleep? That would explain a lot...

No, I'm not. He was without sin and has no need for redemption. Please let the adults speak. No one has any interest in your childish comments that make no sense whatsoever.

He's not. His wrath is only against unbelievers. He doesn't want to do that and won't do that. Do you think He is incapable of taking His wrath out on unbelievers without it affecting believers? Look at this, for example... Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from...

Says the guy who sees all of the Olivet Discourse and a vast majority of the book of Revelation as having a future fulfillment. LOL. Okay, whatever you say, Futurist.

He's a child. It does not say every man individually in his own time. It says Christ's resurrection was first in order and next in order to be resurrected are those who belong to Christ at His second coming. All of the dead in Christ will be resurrected at the same time when He comes again. 1...

What makes you think that it will be soon? I thought those who believe in a pre-trib rapture claim that it is imminent and there are no signs preceding it?

I said what's sad about it. It is dictated by your preterist beliefs. You can't allow for Revelation 9 to be referring to the loosing of Satan because your preterist beliefs don't allow Revelation 9 to have the same timing as the loosing of Satan after the thousand years. I assume you see...

What do you do with the fact that the elect will be gathered from the uttermost part of the earth when Jesus comes AFTER the tribulation? In your view, the elect will all be dead by then. So, what do you think, that the angels will be gathering their dead bodies? LOL. Mark 13:24 But in those...

LOL! Half the church left behind? Total nonsense! Jesus declared no such thing. He would never tell anyone in the church that He doesn't know them, which is what he will tell people that the five foolish virgins represent: Matthew 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord...

You are taking 1 Thessalonians 4:16 out of context. The dead in Christ rising first is not a reference to the first resurrection. It is a reference to the fact that after Jesus descends from heaven, the first thing that will happen is that the dead in Christ are resurrected. Then they, together...

LOL. The point is that the word "thousand" can be used figuratively because we can see that it is used figuratively sometimes in scripture. No one is saying that it can only be used figuratively in the exact same way that it is in Psalm 50:10. When did any Amil ever say this?

This makes no sense. If you truly are in agreement with what he said, then you would not disagree with him about the timing of the millennium because what he said indicates that the millennium is not possible to occur after Jesus returns. If you think that Amils make nonsense out of the texts...

God gives them the limitations of what they are able to do, but it's not as if they are doing something they don't want to do (torment people). Satan would certainly want to be involved in that. But, believe what you want. Your preterist beliefs dictate how you interpret Revelation 9 and I think...

If you guys were actually honest about this, you would acknowledge that the phrase "a thousand" can be used literally or figuratively instead of trying to act as if it can only refer to a literal one thousand. So, all this nonsense that ewq1938 is saying does not prove that it has to be one...

That's basically what I'm saying to him as well. Of course, in our Amill view, it's not talking about Satan being literally chained up in a literal place, but the idea is the same. From the Amil perspective, it would be as if Satan would say "No, I'm fine with being restrained in what I can do...

Why would their king not be leading them to serve that purpose? And, yes, I know that the bottomless pit is a spiritual condition and not a literal place.

Your view absolutely does give people an excuse for not believing. You claim that people have faith because God gives it to them and it's entirely up to God as to whether someone has faith or not. If God doesn't give faith to someone and that's the only way someone can have faith, how can you...

How is someone kept if they have departed from Him? That makes no sense. Why are you not addressing what I said? You missed that 1 John 2 has a different context than Hebrews 3:12-14 because 1 John 2 is talking about those who were never Christians in the first place leaving and Hebrews 3:12-14...
