You said: "The release isn’t a mystery; Paul already explains it in 2 Thess 2: evil reaches its final, climactic outbreak before Christ destroys it. The restraint isn’t Jesus “waiting in heaven”; it’s the same restraint Paul describes in 2 Thess 2:6–7, the sovereign limitation of satanic...

You said: "And your questions about “who restrains sin,” “who judges Israel,” “who handles earthly duties,” and “what Jesus does for 1,000 years” only expose the problem: your system requires answers Scripture never gives, because Revelation 20 never describes mortals living, sinning...

You said: "Paul’s own explanation of his ritual participation is not syncretism but accommodation — strategic cultural flexibility for evangelism, not restoring Levitical worship; the early church fell into Marian excess because they added practices God never commanded." If we want to be...

No, my model takes ALL of prophecy throughout the ENTIRE BIBLE and pieces it together, unlike yours. In your view, I see all kinds of problems. If Paul "became as a Jew, in order to win the Jews", then he may have been the original believer that encouraged "religious syncretism" in order to...

Why do you think Paul kept practicing Jewish traditions while he taught that they weren't conducive to the overall plan? In the meanwhile, you have given absolutely NO explanation for the purpose of the 1,000 year reign of peace on earth. And since you haven't and can't, then apparently it...

I can tell from your posts that you are strict left-brain linear thinker without the ability to see scripture the way it's written. You told me that you were taught about "prophetic telescoping" in school, but were you ever able to mentally grasp it? For starters, all prophecy isn't limited to...

Does it? Since Paul doesn't speak of a Millennial Kingdom, even though we know there is one, could it be that Gentile believers are already in the New Jerusalem while everything else is going on in the earth? Could it be that God/Jesus is using this time period to show Israel exactly what...

The only way your view works is if it matches the one I presented earlier in this thread when I first entered the conversation in post #888. I'll copy and paste it again below. This is the only way both of our views might be able to reconcile...

I'm going to have to disagree with you. Yes, both the Old and New Testaments suggest that Jesus will leave His current heavenly position to establish a literal, earthly reign. Old Testament Prophecies The Old Testament consistently portrays the Messiah ruling from a physical throne on earth...

No, Jesus has NOT put Satan, Death, and Hell under His feet yet. That doesn't happen until after the 1,000 years are over like Revelation 20 says. 1 Corinthians 15 says that death is the last enemy to be destroyed. It hasn't been destroyed yet.

So, on top of me constantly reminding you of Luke 24:44, Luke 24:44 - And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me...

Clearly, your response shows that you DID NOT read the scriptures that were posted to back up my view. You aren't using scripture to back up your view. What's even more clear is that you're only familiar with the New Testament and haven't really taken the time to study the Old Testament and...

As for Acts 2, it says: Acts 2:34-35 34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. Because we know there is 1,000 years on earth, like Revelation 20 says so in verse 8...

You say: Hebrews says the Levitical system is abolished and cannot return, Acts 2 says the Davidic‑throne promise is fulfilled now in Christ’s resurrection and heavenly enthronement, Hebrews 12 says believers have come to heavenly Jerusalem, not earthly, and Revelation 21 says the final state...

As for being a theology teacher, I know what your background is and I know what theology school you went to, which is why you have an Amillennialist bias, which is in the minority when you look back at the survey I posted a couple of pages back. You were taught with a denominational biased...

No, what all of your responses are showing is that you choose to assign all unfulfilled details of the Old Testament as allegory to the New Testament. This is why it fails. You have claimed in the past that you don't do that, but you do. You've already conceded to me in the past that the...

Sorry, but your projected allegory doesn't hold up when there are specific dimensions given to the temple in Ezekiel chapters 40 through 48, the earthly descriptions of the House of Jacob still working and living off of the fruit of their own labor in the land God promised them, or the...

You said that Acts 15:14-17 only works if the NT ever says that David's throne would be re-established in Jerusalem, and it does at the end of this list of verses. However, your thinking that the NT absolutely has to say it this way in order for OT prophecy to be fulfilled is just biased...

That's where you're confused. The Bible clearly shows His throne sitting on both earth and in Heaven, as I just showed you earlier in Acts 15:14-17. That's why I said earlier in this thread that scripture has BOTH a literal fulfillment and a spiritual one. You're trying to turn everything...

The only one proving themselves to not be serious is you, since you just keep making excuses instead of addressing the scriptures I gave you. I'm still waiting for you to answer, but we both know that you don't know how to respond, which is why you keep stalling.
