    Matthew 24:40-41

    the richman and lazarus is a parable and the entirety of the bible is inspired by God. to say otherwise is to teach unorthodoxy. so you're guilty of what you blame him for. also calm down.

    Matthew 24:40-41

    John 5:29 and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment. Pretty clear as day.

    scripture clearly shows that at the second coming the lost and wicked will be resurrected. John 11:24. John 6:39. John 6:44 John 6:54 John 6:40 John 5:29

    Matthew 24:40-41

    Thank you I appreciate you taking the time to post this. In the past when I thought of the second coming I imagined it as Christ appearing to everyone in the world in dramatic fashion of some sort and instantly the lost and saved being resurrected to judgement. These scriptures certainly add...

    Matthew 24:40-41

    So as a follow up to Mr Gentry's response, the following question comes to mind. We know that at the second coming, everyone is resurrected. However. He seems to be suggesting that only the wicked are resurrected. anyone else see this?

    Matthew 24:40-41

    so I emailed Kenneth Gentry on the subject of Matthew 24:40-41 and this is what he said. "I believe what this passage is talking about is the final judgment when Christ returns. One will be taken away to hell in judgment. The other will be left to enter into the new heavens and new earth. Or...

    Orthodox preterism/amillenialism

    Obviously Futurists and Preterists disagree. I get that. I'm more interested however in the disagreement within the preterist camp and those who are not preterist but not dispensational either (amillenial or historical). Kenneth Gentry and Kim Riddlebarger both agree that there is a double...

    Matthew 24:40-41

    "Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left." I am wondering if anyone could attempt to interpret this passage of scripture for me, whatever your eschatology belief is. I...

    Orthodox preterism/amillenialism

    Been listening to a bit of Kim Riddlebarger's position on the book of Revelation today and I'm suprised to find out that he is in fact not a preterist. Idealist I believe? Any Idealists on this forum?

    Orthodox preterism/amillenialism

    I've heard Riddlebarger's name mentioned quite a bit along with Kenneth Gentry and R.C Sproul. I'm definitely interested in their points of difference as well as the other differences among other orthodox preterists. As far as going too overboard I'm very much open to new ideas on the topic...

    Orthodox preterism/amillenialism

    You say it's a fantasy which is certainly possible and I'm not going to argue with you. One question that always pops into my mind about amillenialism and postmillenialism is that almost all of it's proponents are reformed in their theology. could anyone speak as to why this is the case?
