    The end of the world, as taught by Christ, separates the wicked from the just at the harvest, and it is coming for you.

    In Matthew 13:24 the man sows good seed in His field and in Matthew 13:37 the word “sowing” <4687> is a present tense verb, so we know the Son of man was sowing when He spoke those words. The tares were sown back before Jesus died on the cross, right?

    Ok, so there are two kingdoms of God that are both occurring simultaneously?

    So pre mills actually think when they come down to this earth after a rapture, their stuff left behind will still be there?

    You are clearly speculating on Mary’s plight if she would’ve clung to Jesus.

    And that’s why I don’t take you seriously. You are relying on complete speculation that Mary would somehow be devastated if she touched Jesus.

    John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Since the angels gather out of the kingdom all that offend and do iniquity, how did the tares get into the kingdom of God in the first place? Did...

    Here’s what you said in post #103 … “What John 20:17 means is not that Mary literally couldn't touch Him. No, the reason He said that is that He didn't want her to cling to Him because He was not going to be staying around much longer. She had to start accepting that He was going to be leaving...

    My sins will not be remembered, I’m a believer and Jesus payed the full price for all my sins, He didn’t make a partial payment. Romans 2:6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality...

    Can’t be, in Luke 24:29 they constrained Him, which is a much stronger effort than “touch”. Luke 24:28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. 29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the...

    I didn’t say sins don’t currently affect us or our relationship with God. If I rob a bank I’m forgiven because I’m a Christian but I’m going to have to be put in prison for that crime and that crime will have an effect on my testimony for Jesus. That crime could cost me some of my reward because...

    In John 20:17 Jesus tells Mary not to touch Him because He had not yet ascended to the Father. In John 20:27 Jesus tells Thomas to thrust his hand into His side. Jesus had to have ascended to the Father and came back else Thomas wouldn’t have been allowed to touch Him.

    Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for...

    On judgment day, Christians can’t be judged on their sins because they have been forgiven. They are given reward for the amount of righteous effort they put forth but I don’t think those who committed the least amount of sins are given the greatest rewards.

    The virgins weren’t literal virgins and the minas weren’t literal minas. At least you agree on when Jesus received the kingdom. Do you agree that Jesus came back to earth after receiving the kingdom, prior to His Acts 1:9 ascension?

    Ok, so you see the vast majority of Christians not being faithful servants and only a very few faithful being given the authority over the unfaithful servants. Do you have any verses that point to this vast difference taking place in NHNE? I can find many verses about there only being a remnant...

    So pre mills actually think when they come down to this earth after a rapture, their stuff left behind will still be there?

    Well, I’ll start with when the kingdom is given to Christ. In Daniel 7:13-14 the Son of man is given dominion, glory, and a kingdom. In Ephesians 1:20-21 when Christ was raised from the dead, He was set above all principalities, power, might, and dominion. It seems pretty straightforward that...

    I agree parables are not to be taken literally but the fact that the faithful servants are given cities has to have a meaning. It appears you are admitting Amil doesn’t have an interpretation for that parable that would agree with any other scriptures.

    So what does the Amil position think the cities are referring to? What do the faithful servants have authority over in NHNE?

    I don’t see how the parable of the minas fits with the Amil position. In the parable of the minas there are ten servants, we know the fate of three of them. One gets ten cities, one gets five cities, and the other it isn’t clear but based on the what the other two were given, presumably that...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    I completely agree that the Jews did not have to keep the law, they did not have to circumcise, they did not have to follow their customs. Those things were allowed to continue and it seemed good to the Holy Spirit to allow that. The Lord was longsuffering towards them, not willing that any...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Yes, really! Take a look at Acts 21, which you quoted in an earlier post concerning Paul. Acts 21:24Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing...
