How was it different?the church in ephesus during Paul's ministry is not the ephesus church at that time in revelation
You're confusing your responses.that doesnt negate it being a Jewish church
Ephesians and Revelations were not written at the same timeHow was it different?![]()
The Ephesian church was still the Ephesian church.Ephesians and Revelations were not written at the same time
I am still looking for that "indisputable proof". All I see is bad interpretation, arrogant posturing and a cherry picked selective assignment of metaphoric symbolism...![]()
So, since faith is the only criteria of being part of the Israel of God, that means Jew and Gentile believers are part of the Israel of God. Agree?Israel of God is by faith
So, are only Jewish believers born of God and keep God's commandments and not Gentile believers?[Rev 2:7 KJV] 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Here is why I think the church of Ephesus is a Jewish church. a believing remnant
[Rev 22:14 KJV] 14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Israel had to keep his commandments to enter the city
[Rev 12:17 KJV] 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
The remnant of Israel keeps the commandments
LOL. This is a lie from the pit of hell. The Amill doctrine is based on literal, straightforward scriptures which teach that Jesus reigns now (Matt 28:18, Eph 1:19-23), that we are priests now (1 Peter 2:9, Rev 1:5-6), that all believers will be changed to put on bodily immortality at the same time (1 Cor 15:50-54), that all living unbelievers will be killed when Jesus returns (Matt 24:35-39, Luke 17:26-30, 1 Thess 5:2-3, 2 Thess 1:7-10, 2 Peter 3:10-13), that all of the dead are resurrected at generally the same time (Daniel 12:1-2, John 5:28-29, Acts 24:15) and that all people will be judged at the same time (Matt 13:36-43, Matt 13:47-50, Matt 25:31-46).That's because the basis of the false Amil theory is from an 'allegorical' style interpretation of The Bible, like what Origen did in 2nd century A.D. in the Alexandria, Egypt school, and it got him ex-communicated.
All I see from Premills like you "is bad interpretation, arrogant posturing and a cherry picked" selection of twisted scripture passages.I am still looking for that "indisputable proof". All I see is bad interpretation, arrogant posturing and a cherry picked selective assignment of metaphoric symbolism...![]()
Sadly, opinions seem to sum up your theology. Who cares about the Book!If Christ didnt ascend into heaven yet then where did his spirit go until his resurrection?
I dont have scripture that directly says paradise is Abraham's bosom .........scripture has to be compared to scripture to form opinion....you are free to disagree with mine, but I will state my opinions....scripture doesnt come right out and state everything
LOL. How about reading the Op and addressing it? The reason you do not is: it forbids Premil.I am still looking for that "indisputable proof". All I see is bad interpretation, arrogant posturing and a cherry picked selective assignment of metaphoric symbolism...![]()
Checkmate! No NT text is safe with his ad-hoc Zionist hermeneutics.It contained Gentiles.
Ephesians 3
1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
When you show him Scripture, he explains it away.Why do you continue to ignore Scripture that has already been presented?
John tells us. Don't you believe him?
Revelation 1
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Do Gentiles not have to keep God's commandments?I gave 2 verses
I did here is another which shows Israel was to keep the commandments..................[Deu 11:22 KJV] 22 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
That was in Old Testament times. But, Gentile believers in New Testament times are no longer strangers from the covenants (Ephesians 2:11-22)![Eph 2:12 KJV] 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Gentiles prostyles or not were strangers from the covenants
I have been destroying your arguments for years. This has been your constant position:LOL. How about reading the Op and addressing it? The reason you do not is: it forbids Premil.
Ferrous Cranus is utterly impervious to reason, persuasion and new ideas, and when engaged in battle he will not yield an inch in his position regardless of its hopelessness. Though his thrusts are decisively repulsed, his arguments crushed in every detail and his defenses demolished beyond repair he will remount the same attack again and again with only the slightest variation in tactics. |
Oh look....Me Too is weighing in!
