I definitely respect your position. But where do you find the actual, literal 1,000-year period referred to in the Old Testament. Instead, you have references to 1,000 years being like a day, a day like 1,000 years with God. But it'll all pan out.

I respect your position too, since I've been there. However, a the actual, literal thousand-year period is not mentioned anywhere in the Old Testament, including here in Ezekiel 39. It'll all pan out!!

I respect your position. I've believed that idea too. However, I pointed out the numbers that are figurative in Revelation. Doesn't that fact make the 1,000 figure at least possibly figurative too? On the other hand, it'll all pan out!!

Let me tell you my take on Revelation 20 and Ezekiel 38. 1) I don't think the two chapters are linked. I don't think Ezekiel 38 is about the millennium at all. Why do you think it is? 2) Revelation 19 ends with Jesus coming on his white horse, rather than a donkey, as the conquering hero at...

My thoughts are, praise the Lord that your life has now changed; I call what happened to you recently the new birth by the Holy Spirit from the Father through Jesus by his resurrection. Many kids grow up in church without REALLY accepting Jesus as their Rescuer. I followed the 12-year-old herd...

Your last sentence is correct. Jesus came to fulfill the law, not to abolish them, as he said in the Sermon on the Mount. He came also to establish a new covenant, of which the laws' meanings are a part. However, the many laws given to the nation of Israel, including the ten you refer to, are...

To summarize, who are the two groups, and what are the two timeframes?

God desires all people to be saved, but he doesn't save everyone. There must be a good reason, but he hasn't revealed it to us. Thus, it's a mystery that we can't solve.

Very true. Plus, KJV was based on manuscripts from about the tenth century, and other manuscripts from the fourth and third centuries were discovered since the KJV was translated. The newer translations rely on those more-ancient manuscripts that are closer to the original version in Greek.

With much of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is talking to the crowd that gathered during his message but directs his "you have heard" in the direction of the Pharisees, who had taught the people their legalistic interpretations of the laws. That's why he gives the deeper meaning of murder as...

It's a misuse of the Bible; just read and study it for its wonderful meaning and its application for your life (2 Timothy 3:16, 17).

God's commandments are the biblical principles or teachings revealing his will in the whole Bible. We must be obedient to those forms or his will in the power of Jesus' victory.

God knows in love from before creation who he will save, and he lets the rest die in their sins. I believe that he has the power to save all humans, but he hasn't revealed the reason he doesn't.

My advice is that you not focus on your experiences of answers to your prayers or any other way. God gives four answers to prayer: no, yes, not the way you thought, and not yet. Sometimes, it takes years of prayers that you know are God's will before he answers in his own time. We Christians in...

The believing criminal on the cross was not baptized. Baptism is just a sign of the person's faith or of a baby's parents' faith declaring Jesus' cleansing power.

Some of the Muslims are still stuck in distant past, when religions were intertwined with governments, resulting the horrible Crusades and Inquisition, when a person who believed differently was a traitor against the government. For such Muslims, Christians will be traitors when they take over...
