For a while now I’ve known that we are currently reigning with Christ (who is the life and the word of God) during the period called the thousand years, but somehow the description of the resurrections in Revelation 20 seems a bit confusing. Obviously there are many verses that tell us Christ’s...

Interesting. I have always believed that the restoration of all things as mentioned in Acts 3:21 refers to the new heaven and the new earth. That is truly a restoration of all things. Heaven is restored, earth is restored and God's relationship with man is restored. I had never noticed...

very interesting.

Wow. Sounds like you really know your history. That's a lot to absorb. But I thought the vineyard being given to another nation was referring to the gospel being given to the gentiles because the Jews had rejected it. Isn't that the same as the servants being told to invite those along the...

Fascinating topic. I realize this is an old thread but I just came across it. veteran, if you don't mind, please clarify this for me. It sounds like you're saying that even the gentiles can become a part of Israel (spiritually) through faith in Jesus. But it also sounds like you're saying...

What's the name of your book. And where can I find a copy?

rjp, are you sure you're a Christian? Aside from your rude insinuations about my intelligence, which I will choose to ignore, you seem to be relying an awful lot on "science". As a Christian you should understand that there is a supernatural world out there that science can't explain. Yet you...

rjp, please go look up the definition of racism. I find it interesting too that on the one hand you are saying they were too stupid to feed their own children and on the other hand you are accusing others of being racist for claiming superiority. As for how their civilization lived or died...

That is a very interesting piece of art. It even looks like he's sitting in front of an engine with fire spewing out the back. The manner in which the man is sitting makes it appear as though he is braced to be propelled forward. The "vehicle" looks to be, for the most part, symmetrical...

It might be a bad theory but that doesn't make it racist.

That is one of the most idiotic statements I have ever read. Proposing a theory about ancient civilizations is not racist. Do you even know what the word means?

After Cain killed Abel, he fled to a city. There were obviously many people already on earth. Probably thousands. How many kids did Adam and Eve have? Not all of these "acts" are noted in the Bible.

Yes, I think it's likely that these are all slightly varying versions of the same basic story. Something wicked comes in the last days.

I don't know about that first earth stuff but the stuff about Quetzalcoatl is interesting. However, I think it's more likely that he is not Jesus, but rather the anti-Christ. Interestingly, the Cherokee Rattlesnake Prophecies talk about this feathered serpent and predict that he will return in...

sorry. I guess it has been a while since we talked about this stuff. But for the record, I don't see Rev 20 as having occurred in the past. Maybe you're thinking of somebody else. My point was that Rev 20 is a greatly condensed parallelism for chapters 9 to 19, and that the trumpets and...

Of course I paraphrased "kind of" to simplify your statements, but it is essentially what you said and that is not a stretch. You said that "God's everlasting Kingdom will indeed 'begin' on earth with Christ's coming" (which you claim happens before the millennium) and then you said "Then after...

Actually my theory does not rely on the absence of "After" statements in the chapters 9 to 19 as I say they are for the most part sequential. Only if chapter 20 begins with "After that" or "Then I saw" does my theory fall apart. I see that ESV and NASB use the word "Then" but to really settle...

Veteran, I have started a separate thread on this topic so I responded to you there. Here is the link http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/13148-the-timing-of-the-seventh-trumpet/page__gopid__97839#entry97839

[/size][/size][/font] So you agree that God's kingdom begins at the seventh trump, but you insist that the seventh trump is blown before the millennium. Don't you think it's a bit of a stretch to say that God's kingdom is "kind of" established at the start of the millennium and then "fully"...

Watchman, I think all this animosity can be avoided if you can prove with scripture your claims, because obviously your claims are hard to believe. And simply pointing us to 2 Peter is obviously not going to do it because we don't see what you see. You're going to have to be a lot more convincing.
