Subject: Christians ambivalent about death? |
Bible Note: CAREFUL this response has a very Jehovah Witness slant to it. He made these points and they are incorrect!!!!!!! Jesus is not going to transform humans during His Millennial reign. Sinners are not going to be given a second chance if they then fail be destroyed for ever and ever. The punish of sinner is eternal punish in the Lake of Fire, Rev 20:15 Even though Satan will be chained the human predisposition to sin will allow evil to survive and when Satan once again freed many will join with him to fight against Jesus. Rev 21:7-9 This earth and heavens will past away. The responders use of Psalm 104:5; Ecclesiastes 1:4 is taking metaphor and attempting to make doctrine from it. 2 peter 7:8, 1 John 2:17 and Rev 21 :1 all tell us clearly that this world is passing away consumed by fire. And a new Heaven and new earth will be established and we all will live upon it. God and Jesus will dwell here in the New Jerusalem. Rev 21:2-27 EdB |
