    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    Your remark deserve no comment, and I will allow scripture to explain why when I quote your opening remark below. I have already provided all the biblical evidence anyone who believes the scriptures will ever need - a full list of all the verses in the New Testament which mention rising again...

    SALVATION OF ANIMALS

    "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living [chay] soul [nephesh]." -- Genesis 2:7 THE SOUL OF ANIMALS MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE "And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has...

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    And as any honest reader can see I never said or implied it was necessarily sinful. Believing false doctrine out of ignorance is not sinful. Deliberately holding onto falsehood (whether theology or any other) even when it's been proved from the Bible that something is not true, is another issue...

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    I agree. A private interpretation of scripture that begins with one person or a small group of people and over time spreads to millions is still a private interpretation. In this regard (of spreading from one or a few to millions) it's like Adam's sin. Our own sin is still our private sin. Copy...

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    You're correct of course. Their arguments imply that the letter to the Hebrews was talking to people in heaven. Which, of course, is not the case. The letter to the Hebrews was addressed to people alive in their bodies who had not yet died, and it was they who were told they had come to Mount...

    Why did God...

    LoL. Jesus did not tempt Himself. The gospel tells us that He was tempted of the devil (a third party) and I believe scripture (I REALLY believe scripture), so there is no doubt in my mind (and there will never be any doubt in my mind, as long as I believe scripture) that Satan attempted to use...

    Why did God...

    God only sees humans in terms of one of two humans: Adam, and Adam. (The first) Adam, and (the last) Adam. We are all Adam. Sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all people because all sinned Rom 5:12. For since death came through a man, the...

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    Continue with your own private interpretations as you will. It matters not to the truth about this :) As we all know, Paul, the apostle of Jesus, taught us the following:- "If Christ's Spirit is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit (of Christ) is your life [zoe] because of...

    Why did God...

    Not even Satan believed what others here assert. If he had believed that, he would have considered tempting Jesus a waste of time. Christ had God's power and Spirit in Him. He also had Adam's nature, because He was also fully man. So He had to resist temptation the way we do, and He relied...

    Why did God...

    Not sure about the last two sentences because I don't know what your answer is to the question, but the rest I agree with, of course.

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    Lol. Joe, Joe, Joe. The circumcision of the heart that takes place in the believer is not called or metaphorically referred to as "beheading" anywhere in scripture and such a ludicrous idea clearly never popped up in the minds of any the New Testament authors as you falsely claim. You would...

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    That's not true, and you have offered no scripture in support of your claims. You're making a statement without producing any evidence. You may as well have people believe a swan is a chicken just because you say it's a chicken. The truth is the swan - and your statement is a chicken. No...
  13. Zao is life

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    Nonsense. The word for alive in Rev 20:4 is zao and zao never appears in New Testament scripture in reference to any person who is not alive in the body. Zao always refers either to the living God or to a human alive in the body in the New Testament - but these had been beheaded and the verse...

    Paul taught that Revelation 20:4 was a current reality

    Your claim that "in the New Testament Greek, 'egeirō' is used in both physical and spiritual contexts" is 100% false. You are once again showing how Amillennialism causes you to consistently eisegetically insert a meaning into a word that is not there. Let's look at the difference in scripture...
