The Jesuit Origins of Futurism

[1689Dave]

So we would be sinning then before god every Sunday?

Faith comes by hearing the Word. If it is not in the word it is not of faith and therefore sinful.

 

[Yeshua1]

Faith comes by hearing the Word. If it is not in the word it is not of faith and therefore sinful.

Eevn though this falls under convictions and preferences, and not doctrines?

You cannot have faith if it is not in the Word properly understood. I think much of today's "worship" is lacking scriptural support.

I need to go now. I hate to see this thread close. But value your comments and hope similar topics happen in the future. Also thanks to the others who contributed.

What if you force a literal interpretation on a passage not meant to be read that way, just because you can take it literally?

If Jesus says the kingdom is spiritual, and you make Revelation 20 literal. you not only took away from the book. you added to it.

Your hermanuetics are hopeless.

The assumption there is only one Kingdom in the bible is the basis of virtually all of this lack of understanding.

In fact there are several Kingdoms outlined in the Bible.

1. The National Kingdom.
2. The Millennial Kingdom.
3. The Celestial Kingdom.
4. The Ecclesiastical Kingdom.
5. The Spiritual Kingdom.
6. The Moral Kingdom.
7. The Social Kingdom
8. The Eschatological Kingdom.

And once we come to understand the above, we can begin to examine:

1. The Mediatorial Kingdom in Old Testament History.
2. The Mediatorial Kingdom in Old Testament Prophecy.
3. The Mediatorial Kingdom in the Gospels.
4. The Mediatorial Kingdom in Acts, the Epistles, and the Revelation.

It is a grave error of understanding to overly simplify the biblical teaching on the Kingdom(s) as taught in the bible. Such a superficial understanding is the basis of much of the above confusion.

What hermanuetics? (Or hermeneutics even.)

Thanks, never could spell, but I do know better. I thought that the first rule of hermeneutics was to interpret the passage literally whenever possible?

Much of your answers keep revolving arounf that you seem to have an insight from god we others are lacking in the scriptures!
