If I recall when we previously talked about the millennial kinghdom and the eternal age of the new heaven and new earth, there were elements of this rational which necessitated that we Chrstians don't believe NT saints will reign with Christ on the earth. For reasons that I do not understand...

We've conversed about this before. I remember pretty well. I would discuss it again. But you have to define exactly what you mean by these words: below above highest under over Otherwise if we do not come to an agreement as to how we are using these words we might be just talking past...

There is no contradiction. Jude 24 is saying the same thing without the married couple language. The Apostle Paul was one with God. The apostle's heart is one with the heart of God. As we all should be. But we have the mind of Christ. ( 1 Cor. 2:16b) For we are not able to do...

Don't shy away from what it says. For I am JEALOUS over you with a JEALOUSY OF GOD. . . . for I BETROTHED you to one HUSBAND to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. The word picture is unmistakably about a divine romantic jealousy, betroval of a wife to a husband...

I will edit the colors for you on revision. Check the post again in a few minutes.

I see nothing in the list of points which makes the Bride and Wife of the Lamb not be the New Jerusalem according to Revelation. I see nothing in the additional points making the church not the wife to Christ according to Ephesians. Arguing over the location of the redeemed doesn't effect the...

I would like to contribute two songs. Enjoy and sing along with me. One on the church being the New Man from Ephesians 4. The other song is on the Lord washing and sanctifying His body the wife from Ephesians 5.

I created this thread before the October attack not since it. Of course bad things have happened to Israel and the Jewish people from long ago. Isn't it also related to the marriage dinner of the Lamb and His bridal army descending with Him in the battle of Armegeddon? And I heard...

That was the shortage of those who didn't see this or at least never told you. You are still on your journey into truth, as I. Don't repeat thier neglect. Good, because our destination is with the New Jerusalem - the bride. (I'll return to Ephesians in a moment). And I saw the holy...

Marilyn C, you can't be serious. Please tell me you're not being serious. You must be "tongue in cheek" playing around. I have a hard time believing you actually are so serious as to say the church only has the aspect of a man in "one new man." You should know good and well that God's...

I'm opened to see how. I am aware. People saved by Christ are intended to be living stones built up together into "a dwelling place of God in spirit." In whom all the building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord; In whom you also are being built together into a...

Is this the equality that you are concerned is un-Christian? For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. (Gal. 3:26)

Because I sympathize and identify with your desire I once asked a former atheist who had become a believer about this. First I was assured by his testimony that he had really been an athiest. His advice to me I always remember even though I wonder if it is always every case is the same. And...

The burden of my responses from this point will be more focused on Christ. When what calamity happens or the indentity of beasts is important. But after asking the Lord for guidance I am impressed to remember that the center of the Bible's revelation must be Christ. My responses...
