John begins Revelation saying it is symbolic.Where the bible says, that numbers in Revealation are symbols?
It will lead to an argument if I answer, based on your eschatology. I'm just saying numbers in Revelation are symbols not to be taken literally.
Greek is the least of your problems.Consider the Greek.
So, do you think the belief system that you now have is absolutely right? I try to stick with the doctrine that more closely harmonizes with all of the scriptures.Because since he is calvinist, he can’t be wrong is basically what he said (what he was taught)
I used to be the same way, thinking as a GARBC Baptist. We were the only ones who had truth, Until you break that dependence and stronghold. You prety much think you know it all. And no one is gonna tell you otherwise
You miss out on lots of scripture failing to recognise the Church in the OT.Greek is the least of your problems.

So, how then in revealition can be mention the 12 tribes by name, (chapter 7) if according your view the church is Israel? This is not fitting.
People don't realize that there are two Israel's and they lump all bible verses about Israel into the flesh descendants.Removal Theology not Replacement Theology

Many find fault with those who claim Christendom is biblical Israel. Saying God did not replace Israel with the Church. This is true but it shows a misunderstanding of Israel's true identity.
“Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet [Christ]. You must obey him in everything.. Every person who does not obey that prophet will be destroyed and thus removed from the people [Israel].’” Ac 3:22–23
The church did not replace Israel. The Church is Israel. God removed the unbelievers from Israel and grafted believing gentiles into their place. Romans 11:17.
And, for the sake of the fathers, God reattaches the broken off but only through faith in Christ. For this Paul uses himself as an example, Romans 11:1–5. And as we preach the gospel to all nations until the end of the world Matthew 28:20 all Israel, believing Jew and gentile will be saved Romans 11:26.
I dont deny that there are used symbols in revealation. But where it is written that all revealation is symbol? And all numbers are symbol.Revelation is mostly symbols.
The Congregation of the Lord in the OT is the Church. The terms are interchangeable.
Can you say the bible vers please?John begins Revelation saying it is symbolic.
It’s amazingSo the church are only 144000 people? And who then is mention in rev. 7, 9 ff.
They arent the same as in rev. 7,4-8.
LololIt will lead to an argument if I answer, based on your eschatology. I'm just saying numbers in Revelation are symbols not to be taken literally.
John begins revelation by saying he is going to write down events God said would take place.John begins Revelation saying it is symbolic.
I do not think any church has 100 percent knowledge,So, do you think the belief system that you now have is absolutely right? I try to stick with the doctrine that more closely harmonizes with all of the scriptures.
No different than daniel, he used symbols to represent literal events.I dont deny that there are used symbols in revealation. But where it is written that all revealation is symbol? And all numbers are symbol.
You miss out on a lot of knowledge by misrepresenting the OTYou miss out on lots of scripture failing to recognise the Church in the OT.
Nope this is not true, we do not lump all versePeople don't realize that there are two Israel's and they lump all bible verses about Israel into the flesh descendants.
