    Replacement theology? Yes or No.

    We need to realize that "traditional understanding" is limited until God/Jesus/Holy Spirit chooses to reveal the meaning of the written word for the time that it applies to and to the people He wants to reveal it to. Daniel 12:4 - But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even...

    CV5, I like your posts. The only thing I haven't totally understood in your responses is the timing in which everything happens. Can you show me a timeline the way you see it?

    Again, 1 Corinthians 15 tells you that we are sown a natural body and resurrected a spiritual body. John 6:63 tells you that our spirit "quickens" and that Jesus himself was a quickening spirit in... 1 Corinthians 15:44-47 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is...

    But we know in Genesis 18:2 that the "three men stood by him" weren't men in the flesh that we have. They were Jesus and two angels. They weren't in the same flesh that we as humans have today. Maybe A.I. can describe this to you better so you'll understand what I'm saying: The Lord and...

    I think you're confusing the word "spirit". God is an invisible spirit, but Jesus is the physical manifestation of that spirit. That's what we will be like. We know Jesus, in his spirit form and before His physical incarnation, visited Abraham and broke bread with him and ate it. Being in...

    Scripture does speak for itself, which is why Paul said that flesh and blood DO NOT inherit the Kingdom of God.

    Replacement theology? Yes or No.

    I've gathered all my thoughts based off of scripture, this isn't something I learned from a "system". However, I would say that the reason you believe that we will be living in a human resurrected body is because of your system. Paul tells you that flesh and blood do not inherit the Kingdom of...

    The key word in Luke 24:39 is "see". Thomas could "see" that Jesus appeared as though he had flesh and bone, but that's not a permanent condition. When the Lord and two angels went to visit Abraham in Genesis 18, they all appeared as men, but that doesn't mean they were. The whole reason...

    1 Corinthians 15 tells us that we are given a natural body and raised a spiritual body and that flesh & blood does not inherit the Kingdom. It also tells us we will become more like the angels in heaven (Matthew 22:30, Mark 12:25, and Luke 20:35-36). That's why after Jesus' resurrection, He...

    There aren't just Jews living in the current land. It's filled with Arabs and Muslims too.

    The 144,000 that make up 12,000 each from the 12 tribes of Israel are sealed during the last Great Tribulation so they are not harmed (Revelation 7). By the time Jesus actually returns, the number of people who are saved in the land will increase, but the majority of them will still be cut off...

    Revelation 19- A major Key to understanding Revelations

    I'm not sure I understand what you're implying. Here's how I see it. Universal Pilgrimage: People from all over the world will go up to the mountain of the Lord to learn His ways and walk in His paths, as the law and the word of the Lord will go forth from Jerusalem. Mandatory Attendance...

    I don't think you understand what CV5 is saying there. CV5 is pointing out that Jeremiah 31 has a dual message. He's not excluding Gentiles from it. Jeremiah 31 is a pivotal Old Testament chapter that transitions from prophetic judgment to divine restoration and the promise of a New Covenant...

    I believe 2 Peter 3:10 is a total destruction of the current world to make room for the new heaven and earth.

    Revelation 19- A major Key to understanding Revelations

    I had trouble understanding exactly what this verse was trying to convey, so I researched a more detailed interpretation of it and this is what it says: Isaiah 66:1-3 presents a theological critique of external religious ritual in favor of internal spiritual humility. Verse 1 establishes God’s...

    Revelation 19- A major Key to understanding Revelations

    Thanks! I found these verses below. Most prophecies have a double fulfillment nature, so I'm wondering if the dimensions given for the temple in Ezekiel 40 - 48 also fits the description of "the MOUNTAIN of the Lord's house"? I'm going to type another response to your comment about the other...

    Got it. You believe that when Jesus returns, all are immediately judged AND then earth becomes Heaven through restoration. I guess Isaiah 65 can just mysteriously pass away too since there's no room for a restored life before Heaven begins in your view. Thank you for finally coughing that up.

    Revelation 19- A major Key to understanding Revelations

    Scooter's response wasn't that bad and I have pretty thick skin, but if he wants to make statements saying that his view of the Millennial Kingdom would be way over my head, he needs to prove it, and so far he hasn't accepted the challenge.

    I'll take that as an excuse for not giving your definition of the new heaven and the new earth and how each will function. You talk "restoration on the earth" but then you immediately turn around and say it never happens, so I'll just accept that as a "I just don't know", which is fine.
