The Lord is long-suffering! Remember in context this verse is in reference to what mankind should expect when the long-suffering of our Lord has ended. It shall be the day of judgement and perdition of ungodly men, because the Lord is not slack concerning His promise but is long-suffering to...

Yes the first resurrection is separated by a/the thousand years. Notice this does not say ONE thousand years? That's because a/the thousand years symbolizes TIME that began with the first advent of Christ and will not end until this symbolic time is finished.

What two resurrections mentioned in Rev 20 are you referring to? I find only that which John writes as the "first resurrection" and a physical bodily resurrection of the dead after this period of time John writes "a thousand years" has ended.

When Christ returns according to the Scriptures, the dead in Christ shall be resurrected to immortal life with those who are still alive in Christ to be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Then the fire of God's wrath shall be poured out upon this earth and every living breathing creature...

Where does Jeremiah or any other prophet promise there will be a kingdom on an earth that is destined to destruction?

Your doctrine is dependent upon literal, physical fulfillment of that which is spiritually fulfilled! If that is not being of the flesh, focused on physical fulfillment I don't know what is! How do you interpret Christ when He tells us the Kingdom of God is not now of the world, and that the...

Exactly! They simply refuse to accept what is written. All that was written in Dan 9 must be fulfilled in 490 years which was accomplished when Christ, Messiah the Prince came. The final one week is set apart to bring light to all that Christ accomplished within one week. NOT one week of years...

Daniel 9:24 (KJV) Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most...

In his millennial kingdom, he will not believe until he physically sees lions and lambs laying together in harmony!

I understand your dilemma, Rich! As Paul has written some things remain foolishness to you, because these things are spiritually discerned. Natural man, which in your particular case I believe you to be preoccupied with the flesh, cannot understand the things of God that might only be...

I agree! The foolish Jews of Old in unbelief rejected the Messiah (bridegroom) when He came, and indeed have missed the opportunity to be saved. They, and no others who remain foolish shall be able to enter into the Kingdom of God in heaven if they are not eternally saved before Christ comes...

Yes, I agree! That's because many among those who are saved are represented as foolish virgins. You cannot be among the saved without having the oil that comes from the Spirit in you. These five foolish virgins did not understand this and thought they too were saved simply by being connected...

No he isn't! The parable, as he points out is given so that we might be prepared in the day of the Lord when He returns again. This is necessary to point out because some are falsely teaching that people who are not prepared before Christ returns will still have opportunity to be saved...

So, do you believe the church as she exists on earth is occupied only with those who are saved because they all have Bibles?

Verse twelve should put the final nail in the coffin for those who believe the five foolish virgins were Christians! The notion that some will be given another chance to be saved when Christ returns has been soundly refuted!

How is pointing out the difference between the wise and foolish in the world "speaking nonsense"? That is what the ten virgins are used to represent. Where in the Bible is being foolish ever defined as those who are saved?

How can the five foolish be considered among the wise who are saved since they took no oil in their lamps?

You haven't! He is simply too blinded by what he has been taught to see! There is no man so blind as the man who REFUSES to see!

How foolish you continue to show yourself to be! Have you not even spiritual discernment to understand the difference between the 'lambs'/'sheep' of Christ, and 'wolves' wearing sheep's clothing feeding together? Luke 10:3 (KJV) Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves...

I for one am very grateful to WPM for setting the record straight. It was badly needed because some people having an unbiblical doctrine to defend, use the ECF in a dishonorable way. No, I won't go back over the discussions we've had in this thread to show you where you have forced...
