Nice job of completely missing the point. Can a symbolic sword literally kill people, resulting in birds eating their flesh? Explain how that works.
Since symbolic swords killing people, is your opinion, then you explain it.
Birds eating flesh needs no explanation. If you want to see it, go look somewhere.
Nonsense. I don't symbolize away anything.
Birds eating flesh of dead men around the field of Armageddon.
As well as Christ ruling them on earth, after them of the nations gathered to make war with Him from the earth.
I believe Jesus will kill all of His enemies when He returns, but just not with a sword coming out of His mouth.
Then why do you talk about a symbolic sword doing so?
He reigns now, so there's no symbolizing anything away.
True, He spiritually and literally reigns with His sanctified saints on earth today, wheresoever they are at the time.
He and His saints will reign over all nations on earth, after His coming again and their first resurrection
You are not recognizing the nature of His reign because you have no knowledge of scripture.
If you want to correct my above teaching of His spiritual reign on earth today, go ahead.
You're not the only brighty on the Christian block, that understands spiritual things of Christ and His people.
You just think it's somehow necessary to do away with His Millennium on earth, to do so.
You need to think laterally as well as vertically, so that you're not so heavenly minded, you become no earthly good.
I wouldn't be surprised if you are an OSAS believing, who thinks you remain spiritually pure and uncondemned, while doing sinful works of the flesh with the world.
You constantly avoid answering questions. If it's not fire, then by what method will Christ destroy His enemies?
By His brightness as lightning flash, as well as trampling them remaining alive on the field of battle, when He touches ground:
I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
The Symbol Man's Bible rejects this as happening, as with many other prophecies of Scripture.
I asked you if you think He will destroy them with a literal sword coming out of His mouth. Yes or no? If not, then how do you think He will accomplish it?
See above.
Yes, I agree. So, this means the method in which He will destroy His enemies is not by way of a literal sword. So, how will He do it?
See above again.
Also, like Samson rending the lion with bare hands, I suppose they could do the same with immortal hands.
Other scripture like 2 Peter 3:10-12 tells us that He will do it with fire.
Tells you in the symbol Man's Bible.
Not me in the Bible of Scripture.
I can't take you seriously when you say things like this because you ignore what plain, straightforward passages like 2 Peter 3:10-12 and John 5:28-29 teach.
I ignore what you teach from them, because I've already proven them false to my own satisfaction, and all you do is ask silly questions and then repeat yourself. You never address the actual points made from the Scripture, nor show how those points are not sensibly made from the Scriptures.
And you ignore passages like Matthew 25:31-46 which make it clear that all people will appear before Christ's throne and be judged at the same time.
Yes, all people remaining alive on earth, will be judged as sheep to enter into His Millennium reign, or as goats to be cast out from His reign.
The natural sheep will be them on earth, that he and His saints will rule with rods of iron, whether as shepherds or taskmasters, depending upon the hearts of them being ruled.
No, you do not. Scripture plainly says all of the dead will be raised at generally the same time (John 5:28-29) and that all people will be judged at the same time (Matt 13:40-43, Matt 13:47-50, Matt 25:31-46), but you don't go by those scriptures at all. You either twist them or ignore them.
I don't ignore the Scripture, but only your teaching of them.
Especially since you ignore my own teaching of them.
