He reigns over all of heaven and earth and has been since His resurrection. He said so Himself (Matthew 28:18). Is there anything confusing about what He said in Matthew 28:18? I never made any such claim. The ones that are alive right now that He reigns over are obviously not dead. You're...

What happens right after Jesus returns and sends fire down on the earth is the judgment, as can be clearly seen in Matthew 25:31-46. You somehow don't have that event happening until 1000+ years later.

I can't think of any reason why He would. Yes, that is very clearly indicated in passages like 2 Peter 3:10-13. Right.

I don't see where I've been clearly answered. Can you tell me in which post you clearly explained what you think it means for the meek to inherit the earth in terms of when that will happen on how long they will dwell there? I know you've said what you think it doesn't mean, but I'm not sure...

Exactly. It's not called "the new earth" because it's a completely separate earth from this one. It's called the new earth because this earth will be made new. I'm asking Truth7t7 about what he thinks it means for the meek to inherit the earth because I don't think he has thought this through...

When do you believe the meek will inherit this earth and for how long do you think they will dwell there?

For sure. The hole keeps getting deeper.

It seems like you don't really want to address what "it" is referring to in Isaiah 65:20 when it says "Never again will there be in IT an infant who lives but a few days". If "it" is not referring to Jerusalem and the new heavens and the new earth from the previous few verses then what else is...

So, do you live near there? Paul said that we have been brought near to the commonwealth of Israel by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in...

LOL. I don't understand why we'd have to go there when it says we've already been brought near by the blood of Christ. :D Paul indicated that Gentiles were not citizens of "the commonwealth of Israel", but then were "brought near" by the blood of Christ. I know that all of us Gentiles have been...

He had previously pointed out that the Gentiles were aliens and not citizens of "the commonwealth of Israel" but were brought near by the blood of Christ and then he later said they are no longer aliens and were fellow citizens. Why wouldn't you make the connection that he was saying they were...

So, what do you think it means for the meek to inherit the earth then? If you're going to tell me "Your belief is in opposition to scripture", then you need to be able to back that up.

So, are you saying the eschatology of heretics should be trusted?

How is it not basically the same either way? Either way it's a new earth that God has made free of sin and death. You didn't answer my question about your understanding of what it means for the meek to inherit the earth. Can you answer that question?

In your opinion only. Don't pretend that you are the Ultimate Authority on the interpretation of scripture. It's not always as simple as you think it is. To make things new doesn't always require completely annihilating what was old and replacing it with something entirely new. Think about...

Can you tell me how you interpret this passage? Romans 9:6 It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. 7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be...

Were they brought near to the location of the nation of Israel? No. So, you're not making any sense. What were they brought near to? Think about it. It wasn't the earthly nation of Israel that they were brought near to.

Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.Ro Can you show me...

So, what do you think Paul meant when he said this: Ephesians 2:19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief...
