You seem to frequently inform us all of that. But the only expected qualification from an education in error at three institutions would be the production in triplicate of an expert in error.
Quasar92 said: The twenty four Elders around the throne of God, represent the twenty four courses of the Levitical priesthood, with one priest for each course seated on each of the twenty four thrones.
I understand what you have said here, I just do not believe you have shown conclusively from the text that is the absolute correct theory, and it is just a theory. I see no direct textual relation with the Levitical priests and the elders. The number 24 is not sufficient in light of the points I have raised that are yet unanswered.
Quasar92 said: 3. If you are saying the KJV and others are "clearly" saying the "beasts and the elders are equal," they are dead wrong. The Elders are human beings and the Seraphim are high ranking heavenly host,according to the above Scriptures.
I believe what I said was they were equal on the specific points I outlined which you have yet to address. You have not proved the elders are human beings. You have declared it but you have not shown it from scripture.

evelation 5:8And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
1. Both the four beasts and the elders worshiped God.
2. Both the four beasts and the elders had golden harps and golden vials. 3. Both the four beasts and the elders sing a new song. 4. In the KJV both the four beasts and the elders say they were redeemed to God by thy blood. 5. In the KJV both the four beasts and the elders say are made to be kings and priests. The question you keep avoiding to answer is how are the four beasts redeemed by His blood and how are the four beasts made kings and priests? We have no disagreement on what the four beasts are. If my question to you is not clear just say I don't understand stand it and I'll try to be more clear.
I have read all of your posts on this topic, while you have posted much information, you have not yet addressed my specific points.
Take your time I will be patient.
The Time of the Bema
This event will occur immediately following the rapture or resurrection of the church after it is caught up to be with the Lord in the air as described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
. Since you will not even acknowledge the substance of the question I ask I can only assume you have no answer. I repeatedly ask a reasonable question and your only response is the above, and not so artful of a dodge at that. So the record of this thread will show you are not able to answer the question. IMHO you are afraid to deal with the question I posed. I have no problem with you disagreeing on this but I see no justification for your refusal to deal with it.Your above denial of the Scriptures that fully support the identity of the 24 Elders in Rev.4:6-8 is ridiculous. If the Scriptures are not good enough for you, then stop looking to me to prove it to you! See the following, and if you need more, let me know:
Then what is this?
Rev 11:18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth."
What does the text say?

And when will the dead be judged. The above is redundant repetition. The time is long pst to stop typing and to start reading!

When faced with a verse that destroys one's doctrine, we receive an answer such as the one above, which must ignore the text of Revelation 11:18.
All false systems of interpretation are not revealed by the scripture quoted by its proponents, but rather by the scripture they must ignore to make it work.
The New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ in Hebrews 8:6-13, and is specifically applied to the Church in Hebrews 12:22-24, and 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, is also an example of this fact.

Don't fool yourself, you have posted nothing on this forum that even acknowledged the question much less any attempt to answer it. You have a serious problem thinking your views are above being questioned.You don't have a clue as to what I accept or what I don't. I do not pay any attention to opinionated questions asked after the views I have have expressed are posted tat have provided the answer. You have a serious problem of either doubting or denying the Scriptural verification and support provided.

What is replacement theology (supersessionism) and the Israel of God ?
Replacement theology (also known as supersessionism), and the God of Israel, essentially teaches that the church has replaced Israel in God’s plan. Adherents of replacement theology believe the Jews are no longer God’s chosen people, and God does not have specific future plans for the nation of Israel. All the different views of the relationship between the church and Israel can be divided into two camps: either the church is a continuation of Israel (replacement/covenant theology), or the church is completely different and distinct from Israel (dispensationalism/premillennialism)
.
Replacement theology teaches that the church is the replacement for Israel and that the many promises made to Israel in the Bible are fulfilled in the Christian church, not in Israel. So, the prophecies in Scripture concerning the blessing and restoration of Israel to the Promised Land are “spiritualized” or “allegorized” into promises of God's blessing for the church. Major problems exist with this view, such as the continuing existence of the Jewish people throughout the centuries and especially with the revival of the modern state of Israel. If Israel has been condemned by God, and there is no future for the Jewish nation, how do we explain the supernatural survival of the Jewish people over the past 2000 years despite the many attempts to destroy them? How do we explain why and how Israel reappeared as a nation in the 20th century after not existing for 1900 years?
Replacement Theology replaces the One Seed, with the many seeds in Galatians 3:16.
It replaces the children of the promise, with the children of the flesh in Romans 9:8.
It replaces the word "so", which is an adverb of manner, with the word "then", which is an adverb of timing, in Romans 11:26.
It takes the land from the "son" who is the "heir" in Matthew chapter 21, and gives it to those who reject the "chief cornerstone", instead of the "holy nation" who accepted the chief cornerstone, found in 1 Peter 2:4-10.
It puts the emphasis on race, instead of Grace, therefore ignoring 1 Timothy 1:4.
It ignores the fulfillment of the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ in Hebrews 8:6-13, and specifically applied to the Church in Hebrews 12:22-24, and 2 Corinthians 3:6-8.
Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of Israel, found in Matthew 1:1.
