    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    How could they live in their bodies of flesh after being martyred for their faith? They lived and reigned with Christ in their bodies of flesh during this time symbolized a thousand years BEFORE they were martyred for their faith! Once our flesh breathes its last, man will not have a body of...

    Understanding the Unquenchable Fire.

    But Lazarus died before Christ defeated sin and death. He did not have the Holy Spirit to give him eternal/everlasting spiritual life because Christ had not yet sent His Spirit to be within us, and none could go to heaven until after the resurrection of Christ. What is true of all who died in...

    Understanding the Unquenchable Fire.

    This is one of the things that prevents me from questioning what is said to be forever/eternal. If the life we receive through Christ is never ending life first through His Spirit in us, then through resurrected flesh changed from mortal to immortal, I accept that death has no power over those...

    Understanding the Unquenchable Fire.

    Because I am NOT immortal as long as I am clothed in mortal body! My only hope, the only hope for all mankind is found in Christ Jesus our Lord alone! If we desire to have eternal/everlasting life through the Spirit of Christ we MUST be born again before our mortal body breathes its last. We...

    Understanding the Unquenchable Fire.

    Yes, indeed we do have this hope! We also have assurance that the supernatural life we have through the Spirit of Christ within shall not leave us and shall be with us until our mortal body is resurrected immortal and reunited with our eternal spirit that through Christ's Spirit in us that...

    Understanding the Unquenchable Fire.

    Yes, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit within. It is the Spirit that gives us supernatural breath of life (spirit) that Christ says shall NEVER die. With the Spirit of Christ within us, the breath of life (spirit) leaves our dead flesh & bone and the spirit returns to God who gave it. Through...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    I fear you might be addressing a member of the choir, having their own way of forcing Scripture to accommodate their man-made doctrines of deception. Nonetheless this shows excellent understanding of the spiritual language written through the providence of God. AMEN Apak!

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    Yes the two are both men of flesh! And both were raised up by God to lead the people. I know what King David did in repenting to God for the sins he committed, because the Bible tells us. We don't know what is in the heart of Trump! And to pretend we do because he has a personality that...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    I agree! I can't help but look at King David for example, called "a man after God's own heart". An adulterer, liar and murderer, yet God called him to be the King over His people. Trump was president through the will and providence of God, and if he is elected again, he will again be...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    Luke 21:29-32 (KJV) And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    Exactly Marty! Their minds and hearts are fixated on an earthly physical Kingdom of God, so they miss the Kingdom of God that NOW is a spiritual Kingdom. Not understanding the Kingdom of God is within you, how can one know they have been born again? So many go around professing to have been...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    That's because you are not looking to be convinced your Premillennial doctrine is not biblical! You come to the forums only to prove your preconceived doctrine, not to have understanding of Biblical truths. That's why you are constantly avoiding and running from anything or anyone that does...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    Mortality indicates we shall physically die! It seems one of the biggest stumbling blocks for Premillennialists is lacking understanding of when/how all who have been born again of the Spirit already HAVE eternal/everlasting life through Christ's Spirit within us. When the Spirit of Christ is...

    Isaiah 65:17 vs. Revelation 21:1. How many NHNEs does that equal?

    Although I don't think you would disagree, I would say at the second coming of Christ those who already have eternal/everlasting life through Christ's Spirit within us, shall be physically resurrected immortal & incorruptible.

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    Of course, John does not say the first resurrection is of those martyred physical flesh! John isn't stupid! He understands there shall be none bodily resurrected before an hour coming, when the last trumpet sounds, that TIME shall be no longer! Why would John say they have been physically...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    NO! That's you assuming what you do not understand! If you don't understand the Kingdom of God has come, how do you know you have been born again? Christ tells us that we will know and enter the Kingdom of God when we are born again. If you don't understand that fundamental truth from...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    Yes, sadly I understand you believe what you want to believe. You don't even acknowledge the FACT that the Kingdom of God has come. My Lord is not a liar! How can your Lord not be a liar if physical resurrection is all we can hope for? My Lord has given me assurance that the life that I...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    Really? The way I'm choosing to read it is through that which is written without reading my opinion into the words John wrote, as you do. It is he, not I speaking of these martyred souls saying, "they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." No matter how you believe a thousand years...

    The Kingdom of God.... Is it within you?

    How many profess to having been born again, but do not understand that when one is born again they both know and have entered the Kingdom of God? So many professing to have been born again, don't believe the Kingdom of God has come. Why would one believe they have been born again yet deny the...

    They will reign with Him a thousand years and making an unknown Greek out of the English New Testament

    I was tempted to simply write LOL! But the depth of your lack of knowledge and the arrogance premillennialists display about the doctrine of Amil goes beyond laughable. Your doctrine has beheaded souls physically brought to life again on this earth without a head! How else would John know...
