I agree that the thousand years on earth is where the Lord reigns over the nations. However, the Body of Christ is in heaven with the Lord also ruling over the nations. You see Rev. 5: 10 has the word `epi` which can mean over or on. `And has made us kings and priests to our God and we shall...

Jesus is presently at the Father`s right hand and is told to sit there TILL the Father makes His enemies His footstool. `The LORD (Father) said to my Lord (Son) "Sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool.` (Ps. 110: 1) And that is still now. The Lord`s enemies are not...

Thank you, Got it. I do agree with Scott however, that the Lord will not reign physically on the earth but through Israel. I disagree with him saying we will reign on the earth. There are no scriptures for that. The Body of Christ will never reign on the earth but OVER the earth.

I agree that the Lord does NOT reign physically on the earth but He will through Israel. Now where does God`s word say we, the Body of Christ will reign ON the earth?

Looking in God`s word and from history we can name these 5 world rulers. Babylon - `You (King of Babylon) are this head of Gold.` (Dan. 2: 38) Medes & Persians - `Darius the Mede received the kingdom,`(Dan. 5: 31) Greece - `the male goat is the kingdom of Greece.`(Dan. 8: 21) Rome - `a...

I agree.

The Greek word `anastasis` meaning standing up, can also be resurrection from the death, or a moral recovery, or raised to life again, or that should rise. Multiple meanings there and not just `from death. The believers will stand up, incorruptible and immortal.

The word `resurrection` in the Greek `anastasis,` means a standing up, that should rise. And that is exactly what will happen to believers alive when the Lord comes. With their new bodies they will `arise,` their mortal will have put on immortality and their corruptible will have put on...

Above, does that help?

You are quoting Rev. 20: 6 regarding those who overcame the A/C and who were beheaded. (Rev. 20: 4) They certainly are resurrected as they died. How can believers who are alive when Jesus comes for His Body, miss out on `resurrection to life.` Jesus is eternal life and that is what we have...

The first and second resurrections are - - First Type of resurrection - to LIFE - Second Type of resurrection - of condemnation. (John 5: 28 & 29)

Amen. And it is said to different people. Did Jesus say to you, `This day you will be with me in Paradise?` or `Get behind me Satan?` Jesus said those words to different people.

OK. All of God`s word is for us to read and learn from, however not all of it is written to us personally. Some is for individuals, some for groups, some for nations.

That saying was said to the people of Israel under law. So, are you saying that is religion?

That is really something to take note of. very good. We can be `right` in our truth but wrong in our attitude, so we need to `speak the truth in love.` (Eph. 4: 15) And that is a challenge. I do see you two ladies, (I think) do this.

Thank you, yes the vessels are mentioned in 2 Tim. 2: 21. very good. I was referring, (and should have quoted) about whom is given etc. (Luke 19: 26)

Hi stunnedby grace, I think you are talking about what Jesus told the people of Israel who were under the law. That is why there is judgment for them. Remember that Jesus paid the price in full, therefore no judgment. We will receive rewards for working by the Holy Spirit and not doing things...

Hi Bob, Now if you mean `church leaders,` being the organizers of the public meeting, then, no. You see they have to bow to the (unlawful) laws of the land - respect (any religion), tolerate, (any sexual behaviour), inclusiveness, (all gender types etc) However, if you mean `church leaders,`...

Hi devin, My favourite part of the Body of Christ is the network of relationships in Christ that I see around me and know is happening throughout the world.
