    The Millennium: An Earthly rule by Christ and his saints

    Hello ewq1938! Satan and his angels being cast out of heaven and restricted to the earth has not yet taken place, but is yet a future event. His being cast down will be the result of the sounding of the 7th trumpet/3rd woe, which takes place in the middle of that last seven years. We know this...

    Calvinists are preaching a false message .

    I posted on this already, but I'll repost it. It is not God looking ahead in all of history to see who would and wouldn't believe. for that would put salvation in the hands of mankind. The foreknowing and predestining is done according to God's will and purpose and not by our own efforts or...

    Calvinists are preaching a false message .

    As I explained through the scripture, 'the World' is referring to those in the world who were appointed to salvation before the world began. You need to look all the scriptures that I provided, such as Acts 13:28, 1 Pet.2:8, Rev.13:8, Rev.17:8. Consider the following: "For God so loved the...

    Calvinists are preaching a false message .

    No, the whole world has not been reconciled having their sins paid for. Salvation is only activated when one believes. Only those who believe have been reconciled to God. Those who don't believe simply remain in an unreconciled state. Jesus only paid the penalty for the sins for those whose...

    The second coming of Jesus

    "At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible. See, I have told you in advance"

    Mortals do survive the second coming according to scripture

    No, Jesus was not a liar. First of all, the scripture does not say "that some would not taste death until they seen him coming in the clouds in all his glory." That last part is an assumption. Below is what is actually said in Matthew, Mark and Luke: Mark 9:1 - before they see 'the kingdom of...

    Less well-known Rapture verses. The case for the Rapture is compelling.

    The great tribulation saints are a different group from the church, which are introduced in Rev.7:9-17 as a group which no man can count from every nation, people, tribe and language, which would make them Gentiles. These are those who will have become believers after the church has been caught...

    Calvinists are preaching a false message .

    First of all, I'm not a Calvinist. I'm only concerned about the truth. You are correct in that everyone is guilty of sin, however, salvation is only obtained by those who have faith in Christ. Everyone who does not believe remains condemned. The above is not a true statement and makes no...

    Calvinists are preaching a false message .

    Good day, Oyster67! In regards to this issue, what do you conclude from the following? "Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away. John 6:39 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but...

    Proving the thousand years of Revelation 20 is exactly 1000 years.

    This is true, for when Jesus appeared to the disciples they were afraid thinking that they were seeing a Spirit. Then He shows them His nail marks and says to them 'a spirit doesn't have flesh and bone as you see I have.' The resurrected body is referred to as spiritual, but as you said, it...

    Less well-known Rapture verses. The case for the Rapture is compelling.

    Hello TheWaytoGo! The verse does not support your claim of the verse referring to the unrighteous. "Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed." First of all, The seals, trumpets and bowl judgements, as...

    Proving the thousand years of Revelation 20 is exactly 1000 years.

    Great post! Those who attempt to make the thousand year reign of Christ something other than a literal thousand years, is done just to support the false teachings that they have adopted. They basically try to circumvent the obvious meaning.

    Mortals do survive the second coming according to scripture

    Agreed! It will be the remnant of Israel and the great tribulation satins who will enter into the millennial kingdom in their mortal bodies and repopulate the earth. As I was telling ewq1938, none of the wicked, those who will have continued to reject Christ and who will have worshiped the...

    Less well-known Rapture verses. The case for the Rapture is compelling.

    Hello! If you are speaking in regards to Jesus' insertion in red above, what you posted would not be supported by this. There is just nothing in that verse that would support your post above. If you look at the context, it is a warning to those righteous on the earth at that time to remain...

    Less well-known Rapture verses. The case for the Rapture is compelling.

    I agree with everything that you posted above, except for the following: "When Jesus returns to earth, ALL believers will be resurrected/changed." This resurrection in Rev.20:4-6 is referring to the great tribulation saints. The church will have been gathered prior to the on-set of God's...

    Word Written

    Hello brother! Excellent post! I thought I might include one regarding the title of Jesus as being 'the Word.' "Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war. He has eyes like...

    Less well-known Rapture verses. The case for the Rapture is compelling.

    There are different groups. The church = made up of both Jew and Gentile believers The Nation of Israel = Do not recognize Jesus as their Messiah, yet. The 144,000 = The first fruits of believing Israelites, who will come out of unbelieving Israel The great tribulation saints = A group of...

    This is just a diversion from what I have revealed to you. I gave you all the scriptures. So if you truly believe the scriptures, then you will be believe what I have presented because I got the information from them. That is false! Anyone reading along with these posts can see that I answered...

    Or ….. you and those who who haven't gained understanding of these truths yet, as well as new Christians, could begin studying the scriptures just like we all have and which is why we know this information and share it. :) After Paul wrote about the gathering of the church, he finished with...
