They did not do that! Many ECF held to historical premil view!How do you know you are not deceived when the historic creeds condemned Premillennialism as heresy?
Nope. Be specific. What's the point of the Millennium?
ANY reason to see it as being symbolic number?Um....the genre, maybe?
Premil position has NEVER been defined as heresy!The Premillennial position is what the Pharisees taught and expected when Daniel said God would set up his forever kingdom in the time of the ancient Roman Empire. He did, but it is spiritual and only the born-again can see it. So the Pharisees, as many calling themselves Christians rejected the gospel of the kingdom. And still, wait for the Pharisee's Premillennial kingdom. My question is; how can anyone claim to follow Christ while siding with the wicked Pharisees in rejecting Christ's kingdom?
When will those brought back to life to reign with Jesus out from the great tribulation be then?There's only one Spiritual, Not a Physical Kingdom that remains forever. It reaches fruition and becomes headquartered in the New Heavens and earth.
He was more right on this then you are though!He was wrong. Study Jesus first, then you'll see Spurgeon's errors.
The kingdom was there in a spiritual sense and it was also there in that its King was present, but it was not there in the physical sense in which it will one day come.How long after that was it until he drank of it? Any guesses? The kingdom was there since Jesus preached it.
IF he was locked away right now, would be no more false religions and isms in world, right?The gospel locked Satan away from me forever.....
The tabernacle, or family, of David is rebuilt. The Son of David is reigning. Haven't you heard? He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.Acts 15:8 and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us,
Is that speaking of what begin on Pentecost and continued until the time written, unto the nations (Gentiles)?
Is that the manner by which God was exercising verse 14? - Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name.
Is that what is still going on in the world today? God taking out of the nations a people for his name, by giving them the Holy Spirit?
Romans 8:23 And not only so, but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting -- the redemption of our body;
Are those the same people being spoken of in Acts 15 as God giving the Holy Spirit?
Now exactly when does this reign with him? 2 Tim 2:12 if we do endure together -- we shall also reign together; if we deny him, he also shall deny us; - Shall - vi Fut Act 1 Pl
What follows the taking out of the nations a people for his name in Acts 15?
16 After these things - After this taking out of the nations a people for his name?
16,17 I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright -- that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things.
IMHO, That will be the Millennium kingdom.
Jesus will be ruling with those who have received the redemption of the body.
Peter preached isreal to be restored when Messiah comes again, do you?The disciples thought like Pharisees for quite some time. Peter however preached Amillennialism at Pentecost as did Paul. So old false concepts sometimes die hard.
Be specific.Only problem with that is that Ezekiel and Zechariah all prophesy it.
When the Bible doesn't fit my theology, guess which one goes out the window.
The camp of the saints is not the kingdom, Paradise. Satan does not attack Paradise. They literally do not attack anything. They march across the earth towards Jerusalem, the camp of the saints, but fire consumes them before they even get there. At least have the facts correct?You are making the same mistake the Pharisees make, even today. Since the Kingdom is Spiritual, the Kingdom Prophecies are not literal. They are symbols of spiritual realities. The 1000 years in Revelation 20 = Satan's binding. When they end, Satan is loosed to attack the kingdom.
The Gospel can't go forth and spoil the strong man's house unless that strong man is bound. Matthew 12:29.You still have not shown any basis other than your bias. You also have not dealt with the fact that Satan is not and has not yet been bound. You have also not dealt with what happens after he has been loosed as those events definitely have not occured. Your viewpoint simply does not align with Scripture.
And the NT mentions a specific 1,000 years.....
If that binding occurred when the 70 were sent out, how did Satan sift Peter at a much later point (Lk. 22:31) if he were already bound earlier?The Gospel can't go forth and spoil the strong man's house unless that strong man is bound. Matthew 12:29.
That binding occurred when the 70 were sent out.
Luk 10:17-20 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Just temporarily, right? First, Christ is already King, and His statement to Pilate was that His kingdom was not of this world.To have earth restored to Paradise lost, and to have the Lord Jesus set up as its true and rightful king!
Where?Peter preached isreal to be restored when Messiah comes again, do you?
He is not yet directly ruling, is he? is he not right now doing His thing as our High priest?Just temporarily, right? First, Christ is already King, and His statement to Pilate was that His kingdom was not of this world.
Acts 3:17-21Where?
