One thing I've come to understand about the Word of God is that it is logical, cohesive and makes sense. So when I hear a view that seems not to make sense, I question that view. As I said, I too once believed "this generation" exactly as you do, for the same reasons you have given. Since...

I don't disagree; however, the discourse would surely speak of things that would come to pass to Christ's kinsmen according to the flesh. Israel was the first chosen of God to represent the spiritual Kingdom of God (Church) that came with Christ. If these first century Jews had not heeded His...

Greetings Red, so far I'm enjoying your commentary but have only gotten through pg 3. I know you aren't looking for debate or rebuttals now, but I did want to plant a seed regarding "this generation" for you to consider. While I certainly agree that there shall always be the generation of...

You complain that Amil cannot explain some of these questions you have, but in all honesty can you here claim that Premil does? Premil is built upon guessing and opinions that enable them to read their doctrine of deception into the Word of God. If you don't even believe the Kingdom of God has...

You're beginning to sound like a Preterit??? During the days of the flood the world then overflowed with water, perished. World then is here translated from Kosmos which as you know is orderly arrangement/adorning, including its inhabitants that all drowned by the flood waters, except for...

2 Peter 3:7-8 (KJV) But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand...

Yes, exactly like the time we are presently living in, and have been since the first advent of Christ. Satan still exists and he is not without power during this age. His binding through the cross and resurrection is only that he would no longer be able to hold the nations of the world...

Eternal life begins for all who are born again through the Spirit of Christ in you. That's why Christ says the life we have through Him is eternal/everlasting life through His Spirit. John 10:28 (KJV) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man...

Satan is not set free until AFTER the thousand years have ended. That means the thousand years is TIME or DELAY that shall be no longer AFTER the thousand years have ended. This TIME symbolized a thousand years was for two reasons, (1) binding Satan (2) building the Kingdom of God as the...

David, I would be happy to discuss this verse with you, but not before you address the inconsistencies I've shown you regarding the discussion we were having. I've come to understand how you like to bring up other texts and ask more questions to lead away from these things I don't believe your...

Do you deny the thousand years regardless of whether you believe it to be literal or symbolic, equates to TIME? Of course it does! Now you've created a problem for yourself because John writes in Rev 10:5-7 that when the seventh angel begins to sound time/delay should be no longer. How can...

As I just pointed out in the previous reply, there won't be the same old earth you imagine might be where this one thousand years begins. Since the new earth shall indeed be everlasting, how can it begin with one thousand literal years? What happens then? Will there be another new heaven and...

That's a major understatement to say the least! Notice at the GWTJ the earth and heaven have fled away; and there was found no place for them. Not only different but a new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness, not for one thousand years, but forever! Revelation 20:11 (KJV) And...

At least you're honest enough to acknowledge the inconsistencies C&Z have presented. Sadly, I also doubt that it will make any difference!

This is exactly what Christ has done, and through the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is doing! Those who come into the Kingdom of God have been gathered, and cleansed, and are being gathered and cleansed as the Gospel of the Kingdom of God continues to be preached unto all the nations of the...

While I agree the Kingdom of God that Christ came with is not yet complete, which is why Christ says it is near/at hand to whosoever hears the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and believes on Christ. But when you say praying "thy Kingdom come" indicates the Kingdom of God hasn't yet been realized...

Yes, mortal/physical souls can be eternally lost. But mortal/physical souls having within them the life giving Spirit from Christ have life everlasting. So when the mortal/physical soul of believers die we have assurance from Christ that our spirit shall return to God in heaven ALIVE, still...

The New Testament does not draw this distinction, you make the distinction to fit what you believe. When Christ came to earth a man the Kingdom of God had come, and the same Kingdom of God is near/at hand to all who call upon His name. The testimony through signs and miracles proclaimed by...

It is a rhetorical question that each professing faith in Christ should ask and answer for themselves! Not designed to deceive!

I agree the Revelation does contain much symbolic language. The purpose for referring to these martyred saints as 'souls' indicates life after physical death. Because without life in some form they cannot be souls. Why is it important for John to speak of these martyred saints as 'souls'? To...
