Pretty new here and I'm sure this is probably a no brainer. But I've been watching some of this amil vs premil stuff, and from what I understand, an amillennialist doesn't believe in a millennium. But then they try to teach about one. How exactly does someone deny there is a millennium, and then spend lots of time talking about something they say doesn't exist? Isn't it enough just to say you don't believe in one, without all the in and out arguing about one?

Since I don't believe in an Imamah salvation, why would I ever spend time arguing about his coming, and his nature, and what he looks like? I don't care, because I say he doesn't exist. And arguing about details about him makes no sense, and I'm certainly not going to convince any muslim to stop believing in him by arguing about him. If some muslim was trying to tell me about his Imamah, I'd just tell him yo-mamah and move on. Right?

It’s not that we don’t believe in one we just have a different opinion on what it is

The name they use is inaccurate...but they still use it.

Unfortunately Amillennial means 'no millennium.' However, its not really what we are saying. More accurately we are, 'Realised Millenialists', meaning the kingdom era initiated by the New Covenant is the millennium.

View attachment 30867

Amillennialism actually means: 'no literal millennium (or 1000 years)'.

It appears your in the wrong forum trying to push your false atheistic claims

Jesus Christ Was Conceived By The Holy Spirit And Born Of A Virgin, He Walked This Earth As God Manifest In The Flesh, He Died And Shed His Blood For The World's Sin, Rose Again On The Third Day, Ascended To The Right Hand Of God, And Will Return Again In Fire And Final Judgement Of All

Your In The Wrong Forum, Perhaps The Atheist Forum Would Be More Suited For You

Jesus Is The Lord

I agree, but would go one step further, saying this Amillennialist has come to view a thousand years equates to TIME given the church on earth to take the Gospel unto all the nations of the world. Once the seventh angel begins to sound that time shall be no longer, it is referring to a thousand years. The only time remaining for this age will be Satan's little season, when he is loosed, which is also an unknown amount of time, but significantly less then the time God gives His church to build His spiritual Kingdom as the Gospel goes into all the nations of the world so that His spiritual Kingdom in heaven can be complete as people believe the Gospel according to grace through faith. Once the seventh angel begins to sound both time for this Gospel age and salvation shall be no more.

satan has not been imprisoned yet. Even the bible describes satan as being free and this was long after Pentecost and the cross etc. We are waiting for Rev 19 and early 20 to occur.

Read Revelation 9. Satan is in the abyss now. That is a place of spiritual restraint that impedes Satan as the Gospel victoriously spreads throughout the nations. 2 Peter 2:4, Jude v 6, Revelation 9 and Revelation 20 all prove the whole demonic realm is currently restrained from stopping the free-flow of the Gospel. Your embracing of what you have been taught, your constant avoidance of the biblical evidence, is the only way your theology survives.

You present the false teaching surrounding reformed eschatology

(Thousand Years) in Revelation 20:4-6 is a reference to God's eternal realm in the spiritual where (One Day Is A Thousand Years) no literal earthly time

See diagrams (post #5 above) and consider. Satan was bound at Calvary!

He was not. Scripture has him unbound and not yet imprisoned past the cross. It is not until the second coming that an angel comes down from heaven to bind and imprison satan, Rev 20.
