    Sabbath and the New Covenant

    Since believers are commanded not to transgress the Law of God, why mention only the Law that pertains to keeping of the Sabbath day? Isn't ALL of God's Law equally important and not to be transgressed? If we're going to argue the faithful MUST be obedient to the Old Law of God (before Christ)...

    A small rapture?

    Hal Lindsey along with the 'Left Behind' series are fictional fantasies! When the last trumpet begins to sound that Christ has come again, I don't believe the raptured saints, or God will be worrying about those who are left behind on this earth. Because all of them are destined to the wrath...

    A small rapture?

    When we are caught up to meet the Lord in the air (raptured), I agree the number of Christians still alive when Christ comes shall be few. Probably why Christ rhetorically asks if He would find faith on the earth. But it won't be only Christians who are still alive on the earth, because they...

    Irrefutable biblical proof that death is abolished at the second coming

    Until sin, and death through sin entered creation, A&E could not live forever after disobeying God without the ability to eat from the tree of life, and God blocked the way to the tree of life so they could not eat of it and live forever. Adam & Eve did NOT physically die immediately, they...

    Irrefutable biblical proof that death is abolished at the second coming

    Now we are clothed in an earthly house which is of the dust of the earth, then for all who die in Christ when our earthly house dies (is dissolved) "we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens". Since the building of God, an house not made with hands is...

    WHAT ALMOST ALL PREMILLENNIALISTS DO NOT NOTICE OR REFUSE TO SEE

    Satan is bound in TIME that is symbolized a/the thousand years. We know this symbolic time began with the first advent of Christ because that is when the nations (Gentiles) throughout the earth began to hear the Gospel proclaimed in the power of the Holy Spirit and began pouring into the...

    WHAT ALMOST ALL PREMILLENNIALISTS DO NOT NOTICE OR REFUSE TO SEE

    That's how TIME works. A thousand years symbolizes time that began with the first advent of Christ coming to earth a man, and will end when the seventh trumpet begins to sound that this specific TIME shall be no longer. How can time exist for immortal & incorruptible living souls? Time is...

    WHAT ALMOST ALL PREMILLENNIALISTS DO NOT NOTICE OR REFUSE TO SEE

    They were beheaded because they are part of the "first resurrection", which is the resurrection of Christ! They were faithful to Christ unto death because they were spiritually alive through His Spirit within having part in the resurrection life of Christ who is the first resurrection to never...

    WHAT ALMOST ALL PREMILLENNIALISTS DO NOT NOTICE OR REFUSE TO SEE

    A thousand years represents both past, present and future tense. Time was created for this earth. There are those who John writes have lived and reigned during this symbolic time, but there are also others, not among the martyred for faith who shall reign with Christ during this period of time...

    WHAT ALMOST ALL PREMILLENNIALISTS DO NOT NOTICE OR REFUSE TO SEE

    The passage tells us "they LIVED and REIGNED (past tense, before they were martyred) with Christ a thousand years", it does NOT say the lived and reigned AGAIN! Which is what the discussion is centered on. It doesn't need to say "had" because they lived and reigned with Christ during this time...

    WHAT ALMOST ALL PREMILLENNIALISTS DO NOT NOTICE OR REFUSE TO SEE

    Mortal flesh & blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God (1Cor 15:50), and none shall be resurrected in physical immortal & incorruptible bodies of flesh until an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds and time shall be no longer. Heaven is NOT a mortal, physical place. Heaven is the spiritual...

    WHAT ALMOST ALL PREMILLENNIALISTS DO NOT NOTICE OR REFUSE TO SEE

    Those who are resurrected from the graves and those who are of faith in Christ and still living when Christ comes again in an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds and time for this earth shall be no longer shall all have physical, immortal & incorruptible body of flesh to live forever with...

    Irrefutable biblical proof that death is abolished at the second coming

    Even the body of Christ was destined to die! Every human being is appointed to death that comes through sin. Since all have sinned, all are ordained to physically die. Believers won't receive immortal & incorruptible physical body until the hour that is coming when the last trumpet sounds and...

    WHAT ALMOST ALL PREMILLENNIALISTS DO NOT NOTICE OR REFUSE TO SEE

    You're not accepting what the text says! Why do you not believe what John has written when writing of the martyred saints he says, "they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years"? How could the thousand years be literally one thousand years since for these martyred saints a thousand...

    WHAT ALMOST ALL PREMILLENNIALISTS DO NOT NOTICE OR REFUSE TO SEE

    If this is to be understood as them coming to physical life AGAIN after they were martyred why do the following translations omit the word 'again'? There is no mention of the martyred saints coming to physical life again after death because none shall be resurrected to physical life AGAIN until...

    WHAT ALMOST ALL PREMILLENNIALISTS DO NOT NOTICE OR REFUSE TO SEE

    No, that's how Premillennialists read their doctrine into Rev 20. The passage clearly tells us these martyred saints died after having lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. John writes only that there is a "first resurrection" that man must have part in before they die to be...

    WHAT ALMOST ALL PREMILLENNIALISTS DO NOT NOTICE OR REFUSE TO SEE

    Because that's what Premillennialists keep insisting! How could these martyred saints be physically alive as Premillers insist unless they had been physically raised to life again? Scripture tells us that none shall be bodily resurrected to physical life AGAIN before the hour that is coming...

    WHAT ALMOST ALL PREMILLENNIALISTS DO NOT NOTICE OR REFUSE TO SEE

    It is not that "I" apparently think is "the hour coming" when both those who have done good (saved) and those who have done evil (lost) shall be bodily resurrected. It IS what the verse tells us. Why do you not believe what the passage from John 5 says? Revelation 19 begins with John...

    WHAT ALMOST ALL PREMILLENNIALISTS DO NOT NOTICE OR REFUSE TO SEE

    With the advent of the cross and resurrection the power Satan had to hold the Gentiles in bondage to fear of death is broken. That power is broken for Gentiles (nations) that hear the Gospel preached in the power of the Holy Spirit, and according to grace through faith they turn to Christ in...
