  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Binding for a specific purpose ?

I admit is creative and ingenious..... bound but not bound all at the same time.... wow

Did you make that up yourself ?


Mat_12:29  Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.



2Pe_2:4
  For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;


Jud_1:6  And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.


No professor. It came from scripture...

Look at Revelation 12 again. It makes a clear correlation between Satan being cast out of heaven and Jesus receiving his authority.

Revelation 12
But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:

Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. 11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb


Look. The brothers and sisters triumphed over the accuser by the blood of the lamb. How could this possibly have taken place before Adam was created? Before Adam there were no brothers and sisters and there certainly was no "blood of the lamb".

Obviously this happened when Jesus triumphed over death and established his kingdom. It doesn't get much clearer than this.

Good point. Now here is where it gets interesting, because if you believe that reference to "every month" in verse 2 to be literal, then you must also believe that verse 5 is literal when it says "There will be no more night".

So how do you reconcile that? Will there be months, without nights? Or is verse 5 symbolic and verse 2 literal? Or is it the other way around?

Well, since you took it upon yourself to respond to that post of mine, you should at least answer the question I asked.

Do you believe that there is still death during the millennium?

There is the following as well.

Ezekiel 47:12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.


That makes two passages telling us this involves months. Clearly this verse above is meaning this same tree of life mentioned in Revelation 22. Currently, nor in the past, except maybe during the time of the garden of Eden, is there such a tree existing, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed. The text says----it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months. Why say it like that if literal months are not meant?

Are you sure you're not Amil? I only see some of these things working if coming from an Amil POV. No way does the sheep and goats judgment happen after a future millennium. The text in Matthew 25 makes it perfectly clear that this judgment takes place upon Christ's return.

Any particular reason you are asking this? You obviously believe there is death during the millennium. Yet I don't know what it might mean to you if a Premil also believes there is death during the millennium, or if a Premil believes there is no death during the millennium. As to me, I'm uncertain. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. But if Premil is the correct position though, there will be plenty of death after the millennium for certain.

They involve from one new moon to another as seen in Isaiah 66:23 this equals a month

The new moons and sabbath days will be eternally observed in the New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem.

The solar Gregorian calendar is gone, God time starts

Lets start working on your self proclaimed thousands of verses that show a earthly 1000 year kingdom?

Two at a time, you gonna continue to run from the Truth

The reason I ask is because death is a result of sin, and sin comes from Satan. So if there is death during the millennium, there is also Satan.

And that goes against what some of you premils have been preaching.

Hi LastSeven,

Mmm I think you have me confused with `whoever.` Of course there is death in the millennium, as there are still mortals of the nations and of Israel, who are learning the ways of God, as God had purposed and then brings to fulfilment.

Actually LS,

Sin comes from the heart against God. Man can do that very well without blaming Satan all the time!

I look at how Matthew 25 begins and ends. It starts out with "Then..." So, this means to look back at the end of chapter 24 and find out what is going on. It is the time of gnashing of teeth.

And vinsight4u we well know that often scripture jumps a space, as it does here for - what are the people judged on - How they rejected Jesus? Or what wicked things they did? Or not even following their God given conscience?

No, they were judged on if they fed, clothed, gave water, visited in hospital Christ`s brethren!!!!!

Mmmm makes you think - What gospel is that!!!!!

Marilyn.
