Re: The gathering of the elect

I'm a newbie preterist myself - and have had many of the same questions. I'm still not sure why the new heavens and earth in Isaiah talks of people living a long life (but still dying), yet the new heavens and earth of Revelation speaks of no more death. If 2 Peter was talking about the literal heav...

Re: The gathering of the elect

These passages speak of the end of the world where everyone is gathered to be judged, white throne, in which the elements are burned with a fervent heat. That happens at the end of this world. If you also look at verse 39 it says it again "end of this world(age)" twice .. the context is clearly the...

Re: The gathering of the elect

I was just reading about this today, and beginning to formulate some new thoughts on the subject. Just before Jesus starts talking about a gathering in Matthew 24:31, he has this statement in Matthew 23:37 "Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to...

Re: Can a christian be possesed or begiled by a demon?

It seems to me that demonization describes a demon dwelling within a person and controlling them to some degree. In Matthew 12:44, the spirit refers to his host body as his "house." Similarly, Christians are referred to as the house, or temple of God. In the case of Christians, passages like Romans ...

Re: A simple question about Rev 20:4-6.

In response to Duncan's response: What is so important about the 70AD coming that would initiate the Kingdom here on earth? Did this event indicate the official taking away of the Kingdom from the nation of Israel? Did the Kingdom have to be taken from Israel before it could be given to God's true p...

Re: Christians and the Law

7.) We are not "under the Law." In other words, we are not to be pressed down and crushed by it, but, rather we are to "uphold the Law." This sounds to me like a rationalization to allow one to say, in a little different way, that we actually _are_ under the Law. By playing word games, some get ver...

Re: Christians and the Law

Hi Aaron: How does the author whom you referenced define "the law"? Is there any reason you can't state the author's name? Here's a quote from the book "The NT makes it clear that the Law we are to observe now involves God's moral commandments and the conditions within His conditional promises." Th...

Christians and the Law

Hi, A Christian friend of mine gave me a book he relies on to inform some of his views on how the Law pertains to Christians today. Do you agree with any of the following quotes from the book? How would you respond? 1.) God's Law definitely applies to us as Christians and to everyone else. 2.) There...

Re: Paul's thorn wasn't sickness.

Aaron, Why do you separate sickness from death, the ultimate result of sickness? Death came because of sin. You don't have to be sick to die. Moses still had good eyes and was strong when he died at 120yrs. (Deut. 34:7) Not everybody passes from this life with cancer or other diseases. Sickness and...
