The Millennium is a Pharisee Doctrine

[Dave-L]

If Abraham was born again, he would have been absent from the body and present with the Lord upon death.

He is. Jesus is the God of the living, not the dead.
“I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” Matthew 22:32 (KJV 1900)

 

[Dave-L]

What God says and want to say me, his Spirit open to me. I dont need to hear him for to understand him. This has nothing to with Symbols which are interpretet from people, and sometimes wrong.

Have it your way.

 

[John146]

He did once upon a time. Peter says (Acts 2) the throne is in Heaven where Jesus rules since his resurrection.

Jesus received the promise. It has yet to be fulfilled.

“I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” Matthew 22:32 (KJV 1900)

Abraham did not go to heaven upon death. Try again.

 

[Dave-L]

Jesus received the promise. It has yet to be fulfilled.

Not if you can see it. You assume it depends on you seeing it, and if you cannot see it, nobody can.

Abraham did not go to heaven upon death. Try again.

Abraham's Bosom?
1.16 κόλπος Ἀβραάμ: (an idiom, literally ‘Abraham’s bosom’) the heavenly abode, with the implication of close interpersonal relations—‘Abraham’s bosom, heaven.’ ἀπενεχθῆναι αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων εἰς τὸν κόλπον Ἀβραάμ ‘he was borne by angels to Abraham’s bosom’ or ‘… heaven’ Lk 16:22.

Greek lexicon?

Whenever Scripture disagrees with your theology, pull out the Greek. United Bible Societies.. You’re killing me.

Do you use dictionaries?

 

[John146]

Do you use dictionaries?

The KJV defines itself...first mention principle will give context, and will stay consistent throughout Scripture.

So you don't use original language dictionaries?

 

[John146]

So you don't use original language dictionaries?

Not when I’ve got the preserved words of God in my possession.

I adore the KJV too, but you need original language dictionaries. Back in the day, it was KJV pure Cambridge and Strong's/Young's concordances.
