I stand by what I said. God doesn’t dwell here on the earth.

Acts 7:48-50

Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith Yahweh: or what is the place of my rest?

Hath not my hand made all these things?

Acts 17:24

God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands

did you skip over these?

Evolution or something. The sun is billions of years old, and one day it will be like Venus, yadda, yadda. Micro, macro. I found a really good looking monkey in the jungle, and i'm re-starting evolution. lol. I think eternity with God is all i care about. The details about when and how are only for God to know.

Of course it will. It is a natural object, and no natural things remain forever. Scientists observe the origin and demolition of planets, solar systems, and whole galaxies.

Hello via, am of the position that all things are fulfilled, but do believe anyone can have any view point they see when it comes down to their study of the Bible. Do not know what hyper preterism is, but do believe everything in scripture is fulfilled. Though I can not prove it.

The belief that "everything is already fulfilled"--Christ's glorious Parousia, the Last Judgment, the resurrection of the dead, the renewal of all things, etc--that's Hyper-Preterism. And it is heretical.

If there is no future resurrection of the body, then Jesus did not rise, and if Jesus did not rise, then Christianity is meaningless.

Do agree with what you talked about earlier about how Yeshua Christ of Nazareth the Lord had overcame Sin, Satan, Death, She’ol \ Hell. That God raised him from the dead. Thank you for your comments.

And if there is no future resurrection of the body, then He didn't do any of that. So there is no victory over sin, death, hell, or the devil.

If there is no future hope for this world, then Christianity is a false religion. And we would all do well to go find another religion.

Interesting via.

What does that mean ' future resurrection ', did he not resurrect in the past from the dead, when God raised him from the dead out of the tomb after being three days in the grave?

Hello you and welcome.

Friendly questions here;

Do you believe there will be an end to earth?

Why do you believe that?

Where in the scripture do you get your support?

What purpose would there be to ending the earth and all the population?

The creation has been subjected to decay. But It wont end because God will make a new heavens and a new earth. And at the point in Rev 21:1 there is no more death.

Isaiah 51:6
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.

“See, I will create
new heavens and a new earth.
The former things will not be remembered,
nor will they come to mind.
18But be glad and rejoice forever
in what I will create,
for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight
and its people a joy.
19I will rejoice over Jerusalem
and take delight in my people;
the sound of weeping and of crying
will be heard in it no more.
Rev 21
Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

Just as the earth was destroyed by water but it's the same planet - it will be destroyed by fire, or at least one third of it, and restored to Edenic condition.

None of that has been observed. It’s all speculation.

And even colliding galaxies aren’t destroyed. The stars are so far apart they pass through each other.

Yes and no. The word translated "new" (kainos) in the phrase "new earth" (Revelation 21:1) means "new and improved" rather than "brand-new," as in a baby (neos). In other words, God will change this far-from-perfect earth marred with human sin into a new paradise. In that chapter, the sea no longer exists; and the new Jerusalem, a picture of the Old and New Testament church, comes down to the new earth. Of course, we will be in our new-and-improved, resurrected bodies, after Jesus comes back.

I don't think there are too many scientists that deny that all life on this planet will die eventually. It's basic science and common sense. If God doesn't exist or would never intervene eventually the sun would explode. No sun, no life on earth.

AubreyM · Mar 25, 2021

No one has got out of earth without dying. So you are right about that Neostarwcc. Haha.

Chic.c very interesting view you have there, where do you get that information about the military?

Thinking while looking at that section of Romans when it talks about the creation itself is will be set from its bondage to decay - seems to be speaking about a spiritual deliverance which happens into persons live when they are set free of the bondage of the things that are plaguing inside of their heart, or influencing them on the outside when temptations come along; as we know God is willing to make a way out for when our heart starts to become envious or jealous which can corrode or decay our heart.

My thoughts can be wrong, but thinking about the creation as a whole (General Population of that land) in that time period was also terribly tough to live and go through thinking about that as well. Maybe the bondage of decay is that of the old Jewish ways, like sacrifices and priesthoods, and requirements of must do this and must do that by the religious leaders in that day whos hearts waxed cold.

Would you have any thing to add to this?

Thank you for sharing with us.

US generals and admirals have been roused of late (search on the internet "China sea" or "China navy"). China has numerical superiority in terms of number of large surface combat vessels. Also, the anti access and areal denial using missiles presents a overwhelming challenge to the US Navy as the have no tested technology to overcome it. War game simulations done by the Pentagon have indicated that US navy is not able to win a confrontation with China in the region of the China Sea and Taiwan. One general says conflict within 5 years. An admiral says within this year. Of course it is budget time so there maybe other reasons for such alarmism.

The universe is bound by time, hence entropy must always increase - decay must happen in this universe. Salvation by God and Jesus will let us eat from the Tree of Life and have everlasting life. As to what form we will become, I think it best to wait and see. I personally believe of disembodied spirit (after the millenial rule) .

I beg to differ. The first 3 occurrences of kainos in the NT refer to something completely new not renewed.

Matthew 9:17
17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Matthew 13:52
52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
Matthew 26:28
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
